Emma Watson is a British actress who gained fame by playing Hermione
Granger of the Harry Potter series. Her prior acting experience before
Harry Potter was only in school plays. She was discovered through her
theatre teacher and went through eight auditions before getting the role
in Harry Potter. Ever since then, she went on to play Hermione Granger
in all the Harry Potter movies. Currently, she is filming the last
installment of the series.
Aside from Harry Potter, Watson has also starred in the 2007 TV film,
Ballet Shoes, and the 2008 animated film, The Tale of Despereaux, as the
voice of Princess Pea. Watson has been keen on finishing her higher
education which explains why her media work has been limited. However,
she was seen modeling Burberry’s Autumn/Winter 2009 Collection as part
of the contract she has signed with the company.
Watson has earned more than £10 million for the Harry Potter series and
admits that she does not have to work form money unlike many young
adults today. She was rank 6th of Forbes list of Most Valuable Young
Stars. But the fact remains that she wants to finish school first before
concentrating on her acting career.
