Emma Charlotte Duerre
Watson was born in Oxford, Oxfordshire, England on April 15, 1990.
At school, she took the lead role in several plays, including
'Arthur: The Young Years' and 'The Happy Prince'. Along with plays,
Emma participated in many other school productions, including the
Daisy Pratt Poetry Competition, in which she won first place for her
year at age seven. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001), is
Emma's debut into the world of professional acting. Competing
against many other girls for the role of Hermione Granger, she
didn't expect to get the part.
Away from the cinematic world, Emma enjoys playing hockey most of
all, and she also likes debating. Although her hair is brown in the
movie, she's naturally a blonde. She once dressed up as a witch for
Halloween, but she had no idea that years later, she would be
playing one in the Harry Potter movie. Her parents, Jacqueline and
Chris, who are lawyers, are divorced. Emma lives with her mother and
younger brother Alex. Her role models are Julia Roberts, Goldie
Hawn, John Cleese and Sandra Bullock. |
