Emma was born to lawyers Jacqueline and Christopher Watson in
Paris, France her brother, Alex, followed three years later. When
Emma was 5, the family moved back to Britain. During this time,
her parents divorced. Emma and Alex settled in Oxfordshire with
Jacqueline, where she still resides when film production is over.
Christopher lives in London, Emma’s second home, and remarried.
From this relationship, Emma has a younger brother, Toby and twin
sisters, Nina and Lucy. (Nina and Lucy were cast as Young Pauline
in BBC One’s Ballet Shoes, but the scene was later cut from the
film.)
Ever the smarty-pants, Emma attended the prestigious Dragon School
in Oxford, where she discovered an interest in performing and
poetry. She won an award when she was just 7 for her recital of
James Reeves’ The Sea in the Daisy Pratt Poetry Competition.
When they were casting for the first Potter film, the producers
and director, Chris Columbus, auditioned children at many
different schools across Britain. Emma received the rare
opportunity to read for them when they visited the Dragon School.
She landed the role when she was only nine, impressing the
production team as well as JK Rowling herself, who has said she
knew Emma was right for Hermione after just one phone conversation.
Emma was just ten when filming began in 2000 and was very nervous
her first day on set. However, when the film opened in theaters
worldwide, her nerves proved unwarranted. The movie garnered
public and critical acclaim the world over and Emma herself was
praised from every corner of the globe for her portrayal of
Hermione Granger. She’s won and been nominated for many different
awards over the years (for a complete list see below). She has
also been awarded the honor of being the youngest star to grace
the covers of Teen Vogue and Tatler Magazine in each of the
respective publication’s histories.
Proving herself to be very Hermione-like in her real life, the
young starlet has always made an effort to balance her schoolwork
with her filming. Despite the time she spends away from school, in
private tutoring on set, she scored 8 A*s and 2 As on her GSCE
exams in 2006. In May 2007, she took A/S Level exams in Art,
History of Art, English and Geography. She then dropped History of
Art for her A Levels in 2008 and reports that the exams went well.
After a planned (and much deserved) gap year, she plans to attend
university and continue with her education.
Education is very important to Emma and a bit of an online scandal
evolved from rumors in 2007 that reported she would not be
returning for the last two Potter movies. Those reports proved
baseless when Emma signed a contract with Warner Brothers to
complete the Potter franchise. She had delayed over concerns for
her education being overwhelmed by her acting schedule, but the
studio went to great lengths to ensure Emma would have time for
both.
Having originally planned to return to school after the press
blitz for Order was finished, Emma changed her mind when offered
the role of Pauline in a BBC One adaptation of Noel Streatfeild’s
classic novel Ballet Shoes. She accepted the role juggling her
schedule around to accommodate filming, schooling and her return
to the HBP set. Ballet Shoes marks Emma’s first project outside of
Potter; it aired on British television on Boxing Day 2007.
When not filming, Emma loves to learn and enjoys being back at
home attending Headington, yet another prestigious all-girls day
school in Oxford, spending time with her family and friends. She
enjoys playing sports (she plays field hockey, netball and tennis
for her school’s teams), painting (her dressing room wall at the
studio is covered in original artwork), singing (she sang a bit in
GoF) and dancing (she’s competed twice on her school’s dance team
in the ‘Rock Challenge’ global dance competition). In January
2008, Emma passed her driving exam with flying colors.
In the future, Emma can look forward to finishing the Potter
films, and what the world expects will be a long and illustrious
acting career. She’s well on her way already with Ballet Shoes
premiering with rave reviews (and Empire Award nominations). Her
dream remains to return to the stage. She’s sure to conquer the
West End and Broadway as successfully and gracefully as she’s
conquered world cinema, and the hearts of millions of fans.
