九岁时，爱玛接拍了第一部《哈里•波特》，从此红遍全球，成为“哈里•波特”迷们心目中的完美女孩。成长中的爱玛或许会成为观众心目中永远的赫敏。
One of 21 centuries’ most highly anticipated films was “Harry Potter” series and the casting process for the trio1 of young stars. Once Daniel Radcliffe had been set as the bespectacled2 young wizard, it became necessary to find a young girl to portray Harry’s pal, the serious and dedicated Hermione Granger. Casting directors in the United Kingdom scoured3 primary schools and youth arts groups hoping to find the right youngster. Emma Watson, a fan of the J.K. Rowling books, thought it would be “a giggle4” to audition for the role when the casting people visited her school. But when she kept being called back to read for the part, the cute, light-haired pre-teen began to realize she really had a shot at it.
Impressed with Watson’s ability to be direct but still appealing, the producers settled on her for the part. It also helped that she shared an instant chemistry with Radcliffe and Rupert Grint (who was cast to play Harry’s best friend Ron Weasley). Watson reprised Hermione in the sequels5 “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” and the slightly darker “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” . She of course reprised Hermione for “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” , and was set to star in the next sequel, “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” (set for release in 2007). Although the “Harry Potter” film series comprises her only professional acting experience, she has expressed interest in expanding her film career into other works. She has said this is unlikely to happen before the “Harry Potter” films are complete. Potter fans have expressed mixed opinions about Watson’s portrayal of Granger: Some feel she is perfect for the role; others believe Watson fails to capture Hermione’s insecurities and flaws, and complain that she is “too pretty” for the role.
Away from the cinematic world, Emma enjoys playing hockey most of all, and she also likes debating. Although her hair is brown in the movie, she’s naturally a blonde. She once dressed up as a witch for Halloween, but she had no idea that years later, she would be playing one in the “Harry Potter” movie. Her parents, Jacqueline, 43, a lawyer and Chris, who is also a lawyer, are divorced. Emma lives with her mother and younger brother Alex, 8.
21世纪最为炙手可热的电影应属《哈里•波特》系列，随之而来的就是那三个小明星。自从丹尼尔•雷德克里夫被选定扮演那个戴眼镜的小巫师，人们当然需要一个年轻的女孩来扮演他的密友——严肃认真、勤奋好学的赫敏•格兰杰。星探们走遍了英国的小学以及少年艺术团，期望找到合适的人选。爱玛•沃森，一个J.K.罗琳的书迷，在学校试镜的时候觉得好笑，可是当她被叫回来念台词的时候，这个浅色头发，活泼可爱的小女孩意识到自己即将成为合适人选。
导演被沃森的表演才能深深吸引，决定启用她来演出。而她在与丹尼尔•雷德克里夫和鲁伯特•格林特（饰演哈里的好朋友罗恩）配戏的时候也表现得天衣无缝。沃森在《哈里•波特与密室》中出演赫敏，并在随后有点可怕的《哈里•波特与阿兹卡班的囚徒》中出演同一角色。在《哈里•波特与火焰杯》中自然少不了出色的她，在接下来的《哈里•波特与凤凰令》（预计2007年公映）中她依然被指定演出赫敏。尽管她一直在《哈里•波特》系列电影中演出，她表示同样有兴趣在其他的电影中出演角色，这当然是《哈里•波特》系列电影全部演出结束之后的事了。哈里迷们对沃森出演赫敏表现出不同看法，有人觉得她的演出棒极了，不过也有人指出她没有表现出赫敏的不成熟与缺点，并且说她和小说中的原型相比“过于漂亮”。
在排戏之余，爱玛最喜欢打曲棍球，并且对于辩论也很感兴趣，尽管在电影中她的头发是棕色的，可是在现实生活中她可是个金发小美人。一次万圣节她曾经化装成女巫，可是她从来没想过若干年后她会在《哈里•波特》电影中出演角色。她的母亲，杰奎琳，43岁，是一名律师，父亲克里斯也是一名律师，不过他们已经离婚。爱玛和她的妈妈以及8岁的小弟弟亚力克斯住在一起。
