Emma Watson
Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson was born in
Paris, France, to British parents Jacqueline Luesby and Chris Watson, both
lawyers. They was moved to Oxfordshire at the age of five years old and went to
the Dragon School. When she was six years old, Emma knew that she would like to
become an actress and, for a number of years, she trained at the Oxford branch
of Stagecoach Theatre Arts, a part-time theatre school where she was taught
singing, dancing and acting. At the age of ten Emma was already performing taking
part in Stagecoach productions and school productions. Casting began for Harry
Potter and the Sorcerers Stone (192001) which was the film adaptation J.K.
Rowling’s bestselling novel. Emma was found by her Oxford theater instructor
who introduced casting agents to Emma. After eight consistent auditions David
Heyman informed Emma and Rupert Grint that they were given the roles of
Hermione Granger as well as Harry Potter. The release of Harry Potter and the
Sorcerer's Stone (2001) was Emma's cinematic screen debut. It was the
top-grossing film in 2001, breaking records in terms of opening-day sales and
opening weekend take-offs. Critics praised the film and the performances of the
three leading young actors. The Daily Telegraph, a British newspaper that is widely
distributed, called Emma's performance "admirable." Emma won the
Young Artist Award as Leading Young Actress in a Film Film and was nominated
for a further five prizes. Following the release of the first film in the
hugely successful Harry Potter franchise, Emma became one of the most
well-known actors in the world. Hermione Granger was her role for almost 10
years in the Harry Potter films. Emma received two Critics' Choice Award
nominations from Broadcast Film Critics Association.
