Emma Watson

Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson was the daughter of British parents Jacqueline Luesby, a lawyer, and Chris Watson, a teacher, in Paris, France. At the age of five, old, she relocated to Oxfordshire where she attended Dragon School. Emma decided she wanted to act from the age of six. She was trained for several years in the Oxford Branch of Stagecoach Theatre Arts. This part-time theatre school taught her dancing, singing, and acting. She was a stagecoach actor and had taken the role of the lead in a number of Stagecoach productions. Casting began for Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone (192001) which was the film adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s bestselling novel. Emma was approached by casting agents by her Oxford theatre instructor. After eight auditions consistently Producer David Heyman told Emma and co-applicants, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint that they had been selected for the roles of the three leads: Hermione Granger, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. Emma's first appearance on screen in cinema was in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001). It was the most-grossing movie of 2001, smashing records for opening-day sales and opening weekend runs. Critics praised the film as well as the performance of its young actors. The well-known British newspaper, 'The Daily Telegraph', called her performance "admirable". In the following days, Emma was nominated for five awards for her role in the film. She was awarded the Young Artist Award for Leading Young Actress in a feature Film. Emma gained fame following the film's first success of the series.
