Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson is a British actress who rose to prominence playing Hermione Granger, one of three starring roles in the Harry Potter film series.
From the ages of 9 to 19 Emma and Herimone began as a child star and young character to a young adult woman in both scenarios.  Emma experiences the best of both worlds - a film career and the beginnings of a college career - both as an actress and as a "real" person.

Emma has been positive about working as a child actress, saying her parents and colleagues helped make her experience a positive one.
