Most of us know her as the famous witch ‘Hermione Granger’ from the Harry Potter films. But what we don’t know is all the other things she has starred in and how great a role model she is.
Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson was born on the 15th April 1990 in Paris. Emma moved to England when she was 5 years old with her mother (Jacqueline Luesby) and younger brother (Alex Watson) because of her parents’ divorce. That was when her life was going to change for the better.
Emma had always wanted to be an actress form the age of 6. She trained for years at a part-time Theatre School. At the age of 8 her chance came when she went for the role of Hermione Granger. By the time she was 10 she had starred in a couple of productions and had had a more or less normal childhood.
Her and all her fellow cast mates were told they had the part after eight, long tiring auditions. For her performance in the Philosopher’s Stone she was nominated for five awards including the Young Artist Award for leading young actress. Once the second film was released, she won an Otto award from Germany. Then of course there was the third one when she won two Otto awards and the child performance of the year award. As you can see so far Emma has won an award for each film she has done and that is what made her famous. Also modelling has helped her on her way to fame, as she was in a lot of magazines.
Most of Emma’s years were taken up by acting and modelling but she still managed 8 A*s and 2 A’s in her GCSEs. Also once Harry Potter was finished she continued her learning by going to the Brown University for her last year.
Emma’s jobs are acting and modelling. Emma has starred in all the Harry Potter movies, Ballet Shoes and she did a voice in The Tale of Desperaux. She also models for a group called Burberry. She was in their Autumn/Winter 2009 campaign and Spring/Summer 2010 campaign. She also helped a group called People Tree in one of their modelling projects.
So by having all these jobs she needs to have different ideas and different ways of thinking so she has to think flexibly most of the time.
