Emma Watson

The magic continues

The actress spent years filming the eight Harry Potter films. Now she has turned the page...

Goodbye Hermione
After the Harry Potter films made her the world's most famous witch, Emma Watson wanted to show she had other talents.
Her next big role, as a cool kid in The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012), was very different from the studious Hermione. The seven weeks Emma spent filming were the opportunity for her to be a normal teenager for the first time. "We'd just stay up all night playing guitar and running around the hotel", she says.

Designers love her elegance
Fashion is also a big part of Emma's life. Fans love her individual, elegant style and so do designers.She has been a model for brands like Burberry and Lancome, and helped design her own range of clothes. But it is not easy to know what to wear when you're famous. "It's stressful knowing that every time you walk out the door, someone is going to be judging everything you wear", says Emma.

Intelligent star
Emma is not just beautiful...she has brains too! She has studied at Brown University, USA, and Oxford University, England, and loves to read and write poetry. She took a break from her studies to concentrate on her films, which is good news for her fans...

A private person
Emma loves making films but she does not like celebrity life. She is attached to her privacy, which is ironic because in the film The Bling Ring (2013), she plays a teenager who is obsessed with celebrities and breaks into their houses. It was a challenge for Emma to play a materialistic, narcissistic character so different to her!

Diverse new roles to play
Thes month Emma Watson is back in the biblical film Noah, where she plays Ila, Noah's adoptive daughter. It's a fantasy film with super CGI, but there's none of the innocence of Harry Potter or the glamour of  The Bling Ring. It's another opportunity for Emma to show that she's one for Hollywood's most talented young actresses!

"My biggest challenge will be convincing people I can be someone else"
