18 year old Emma Watson is best known for her portrayal of the bookish
Hermione Granger in Harry Potter, the series of phenomenally successful
films based on JK Rowling’s best selling books. She first auditioned for the role when she was nine years old and began filming at the age of ten and has
since starred in every one of the six films; Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone; Harry Potter and
the Chamber of Secrets; Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban; Harry Potter and the Order of the
Phoenix and most recently Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince which will be released in cinemas in
July 2009.
The final instalment Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will commence filming in February 2009. The
film will then be released in two parts in November 2010 and the summer of 2011.
The Harry Potter films have brought Emma worldwide acclaim and have won her many awards and
nominations including the AOL Moviegoers award for Best Actress (she won twice and was nominated
a third time); the Phoenix Film Critics Society Award for Best Performance by a Youth and the honour of
being voted Best Actress at the ITV National Movie Awards.
Most recently Emma stars as the voice of Princess Pea in the animated feature based on Kate
DiCamillo’s best selling children’s story The Tale of Despereaux, which opens in cinemas in December.
She is joined by co-stars Dustin Hoffman, Sigourney Weaver, Tracey Ullman, Robbie Coltrane, Kevin
Kline and Matthew Broderick as the voice of brave young mouse Despereaux who makes it his mission
to protect the princess from harm.
Emma’s other projects include the BBC’s Ballet Shoes again based on a much loved book (by Noel
Streatfeild), in which she starred as Pauline Fossil one of three adopted sisters who endeavour to over
come hardship to follow their separate dreams. Yasmin Paige and Lucy Boynton play her screen sisters
Petrova and Posy. The programme which garnered huge audiences and great critical acclaim when it
was broadcast in December 2007, also stars Victoria Wood, Celia Fox and Richard Griffiths.
When Emma is not filming she is a dedicated student. She achieved 10 top A grades at GCSE and four
A’s at A Level. She has taken a year out in order to complete the final instalments of the Harry Potter
films, but intends to attend university in the Autumn.
