Emma Watson
Emma Watson was nine years old when she attended the first of eight auditions for the role of Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films. Her only acting experience came from school plays, and she had no experience in front of a film camera. The part would hold her for the best part of a decade. It also left her with a question few child performers face so early: what to do with a famous face once the story ends. This documentary follows the English actress through the film sets, classrooms, fashion houses and campaign stages that filled her life. It asks how she balanced study with stardom, why she chose the roles she did, and what she wanted to build once the wizarding world was behind her.
Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson was born on the 15th of April 1990 in Paris, the daughter of two English lawyers, Jacqueline Luesby and Chris Watson. Her early years were spent in Maisons-Laffitte, a town near Paris, until her parents divorced when she was five. She then moved to Oxfordshire with her mother and her brother, spending weekends at her father's house in London. A 2008 interview found her still speaking some French, though she admitted it was "not as well" as it once had been.
From the age of six, Watson wanted to be an actress. She trained at the Oxford branch of Stagecoach Theatre Arts, a part-time school where she studied singing, dancing and acting. By the age of 10 she had performed in Stagecoach productions and in school plays, among them Arthur: The Young Years and The Happy Prince. Her primary school was the Dragon School in Oxford, which she attended until 2003, and she then moved on to Headington School in the same city.
In June 2006, Watson sat GCSE examinations in ten subjects, earning eight A* grades and two A grades. Even on film sets, she and her castmates were tutored for up to five hours a day. In May 2007 she took AS levels in English, Geography, Art and History of Art. The following year she dropped History of Art to focus on three A levels, and she earned an A in each.
After secondary school Watson took a gap year, and then she enrolled at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. In March 2011, after 18 months, she announced that she was deferring her course for "a semester or two". She spent the 2011-12 academic year at Worcester College, Oxford, through its Visiting Student Programme. Speaking on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2014, she explained that two semesters off for acting had stretched a four-year degree into five. On the 25th of May 2014 she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature.
Oxford kept drawing her back. She was named a visiting fellow at Lady Margaret Hall in 2016, and in 2023 she began a Master of Studies in creative writing at New College.
Casting for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone began in 1999, and the agents who found Watson did so through her Oxford theatre teacher. The film adapted J. K. Rowling's best-selling novel. Among the other girls the producers had considered was Hatty Jones. Rowling, however, backed Watson after her very first screen test.
The film reached cinemas in 2001 and was Watson's screen debut. It broke records for opening-day sales and opening-weekend takings, and it became the highest-grossing film of 2001. Critics singled her out. The Daily Telegraph called her performance "admirable", and IGN said she "stole the show". She received five award nominations and won the Young Artist Award for Leading Young Actress. Entertainment Weekly also named her one of its Breakout Performers of 2001.
In 2002, Watson returned as Hermione in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. The Los Angeles Times observed that she and her co-stars had matured between the two films. The Times, meanwhile, criticised director Chris Columbus for "under-employing" her hugely popular character. The German magazine Bravo gave Watson an Otto Award for the performance.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban arrived in 2004 and gave Hermione a more assertive part. Watson welcomed the change, calling the character "charismatic" and "a fantastic role to play". A. O. Scott of The New York Times noted that Hermione earned the loudest applause with "a decidedly unmagical punch to Draco Malfoy's deserving nose." Azkaban proved the lowest-grossing film in the whole series. Even so, it won Watson two Otto Awards and the Child Performance of the Year prize from Total Film.
The next film would break opening-weekend records, and it would also bring Watson to a crisis of nerve.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, released in 2005, set records for a Harry Potter opening weekend and for an opening weekend in the UK. The New York Times called Watson's performance "touchingly earnest", and she picked up a bronze Otto Award from three nominations. She said she enjoyed the film's arguments among the three leads, because she thought it more realistic that they would clash. Yet she nearly quit afterwards. Looking back, she said she had been scared and wondered when it had reached the point where "this is kind of forever now."
On the 23rd of March 2007, Watson signed on for the remaining films. All three lead actors had been hesitant about continuing, and she was the most ambivalent during the renegotiations. The deal meant a further four-year commitment. She eventually conceded that she "could never let the role of Hermione go".
Filming for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows began on the 18th of February 2009 and ended on the 12th of June 2010. For financial and scripting reasons, the book was divided into two films that were shot one after the other. Part 1 came out in November 2010. Part 2 reached theatres in July 2011 and grossed $1.34 billion worldwide, the most of any film in the series.
Ballet Shoes, a BBC adaptation made in 2007, was Watson's first role outside Harry Potter. It adapted a 1936 novel by Noel Streatfeild, and she played Pauline Fossil, an aspiring actress. Director Sandra Goldbacher called her "perfect" for the part, saying: "She has a piercing, delicate aura that makes you want to gaze and gaze at her." Broadcast in the UK on Boxing Day, it drew 5.7 million viewers and mixed reviews. In December 2008 she voiced Princess Pea in the animated film The Tale of Despereaux, which grossed $87 million worldwide.
My Week with Marilyn, released in 2011, was her first live-action film after the wizarding series ended. She played Lucy, a wardrobe assistant who briefly dates Colin Clark, portrayed by Eddie Redmayne. Reports in May 2010 had placed her in talks for The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and filming began in the summer of 2011. Released in September 2012, it cast her as Sam, a flirtatious, free-spirited student who befriends Logan Lerman's Charlie. David Sexton of the Evening Standard judged her performance "plausible and touching".
She joined Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring on the 29th of February 2012. The satirical crime film drew on real robberies, and Watson played a fictionalised version of Alexis Neiers, one of seven teenagers involved. Reviews of the film were mostly mixed, but critics almost unanimously praised her. Adam White of The Independent wrote that "Watson oozes casual disdain." In This Is the End, she played an exaggerated version of herself alongside Seth Rogen and James Franco, and she said she could not pass up her first comedy.
In June 2012, Watson was confirmed as Ila, Shem's wife, in Darren Aronofsky's Noah. She called the role physically demanding and did extensive research on childbirth for one scene. Vanity Fair wrote that she was "quiet but ferocious" sitting on an Icelandic beach with Russell Crowe. In March 2013 she was in negotiations to play the title role in Kenneth Branagh's Cinderella. She turned it down because she did not connect with the character, and the part went to Lily James.
On the 30th of October 2014 in Los Angeles, Watson received British Artist of the Year at the Britannia Awards, alongside honourees including Judi Dench and Robert Downey Jr. She dedicated the prize to Millie, a pet hamster who had died while she was filming the first Potter film. Her two 2015 thrillers, Colonia and Regression, drew generally negative reviews. In February 2016 she announced a year-long break from acting, to spend time on her personal development and her women's rights work.
Beauty and the Beast, released in 2017, brought her back as Belle, opposite Dan Stevens. She had autonomy over the character, portraying Belle as an assistant to her inventor father and adding bloomers and boots to the wardrobe. The film grossed over $1.2 billion, making it the second-highest-grossing film of 2017. Her fee was reported as $3 million upfront with profit participation, bringing her earnings to $15 million. Watson later said that finishing it felt like making the transition to being a woman on screen.
The same year she appeared opposite Tom Hanks in The Circle, playing Mae Holland, who joins a powerful tech corporation. It received negative reviews but was a moderate box office success. In 2019 she played Meg March in Greta Gerwig's Little Women, alongside Saoirse Ronan, Florence Pugh and Meryl Streep. Watson said the story showed there is not one way to be a feminist, since Meg's choice was to be a full-time mother and wife. The film grossed over $218 million against a $40 million budget.
In 2020, Watson said she wanted fewer red carpets and more conference meetings. In 2021, reports claimed she was engaged or retiring from acting. She and her representatives refuted them, and she called the speculation clickbait. In 2022 she rejoined her Potter castmates for the HBO Max special Return to Hogwarts. Then, in an interview with the Financial Times, she revealed she had not acted for almost five years because she "wasn't very happy" and felt "a bit caged". She added that she would "absolutely" return, but only to a role where she did not have to "switch into robot mode any more."
In 2005, Watson began modelling with a Teen Vogue shoot that made her the youngest person ever to cover the magazine. In 2008, the British press reported she would replace Keira Knightley as the face of Chanel, though both sides denied it. In June 2009 she confirmed she would front Burberry's Autumn/Winter 2009 campaign, for an estimated six-figure fee. Her brother Alex appeared beside her in the 2010 Spring/Summer campaign. There she met George Craig, singer of One Night Only, and she later appeared in the band's video for "Say You Don't Want It", screened on Channel 4 on the 26th of June 2010. In February 2011, Dame Vivienne Westwood presented her with British Elle's Style Icon award, and in March 2011 Lancôme named her as its face.
In September 2009, Watson announced she would work with People Tree, a fair trade fashion brand. As a creative adviser, she helped produce a spring line, released in February 2010, with styles inspired by southern France and London. She was not paid for the work. The Times called the collection "very clever". Watson argued that fashion is a way to give people skills, and that buying what they make helps them more than handing cash to charity. A second People Tree collection followed for Autumn/Winter 2010.
In 2013, Madame Tussauds in London unveiled a wax figure of Watson wearing an Elie Saab haute couture gown, which the designer had donated. A museum spokesperson said she was one of the most requested personalities among visitors. In 2014 she won Best British Style at the British Fashion Awards, beating David Beckham, Amal Clooney, Kate Moss and Keira Knightley.
Watson has been called an early adopter of sustainable fashion. At the 2016 Met Gala she wore a Calvin Klein gown made from recycled plastic bottles. She has supported Good On You, an app that rates the sustainability of fashion brands. In 2017 she began an Instagram account, "The Press Tour", listing the ethical labels she wore on film promotions. She guest-edited the March 2018 issue of Vogue Australia, devoted to sustainable fashion and photographed by Peter Lindbergh. In January 2020 she teamed with ThredUP on a "Fashion Footprint Calculator", which lets visitors calculate the carbon impact of their wardrobes.
In June 2020, Watson became the youngest member of the board of directors at Kering, the owner of Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent. She chaired its sustainability committee until 2023. Her aim, she said, was to influence decisions behind the scenes that would affect future generations. In August 2022 she became the face of Prada Beauty's fragrance Paradoxe, and she starred in, wrote, directed and narrated its short promotional film. In January 2024 she fronted Prada's Re-Nylon collection, the brand's sustainable product line.
In July 2014, Watson was appointed a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador. That September, visibly nervous, she addressed UN Headquarters in New York to launch HeForShe, a campaign urging men to advocate for gender equality. She said she began questioning gender assumptions at eight, when she was called "bossy" while boys were not, and again at 14, when parts of the media sexualised her. She defined feminism as "the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities". The speech made headlines worldwide, and the organisation's website crashed under the attention. Within twelve hours she received threats, which left her "raging", and she said they had the opposite of their intended effect.
Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, executive director of UN Women, said the speech "gave us the word back" in a debate over whether feminism was good or bad. In 2015, Malala Yousafzai told Watson she had decided to call herself a feminist after hearing it. That year Time named Watson to its list of the 100 most influential people for the first time. Her first country visit as ambassador was to Uruguay, where she spoke at the Legislative Palace in Montevideo about women's political participation. She had also travelled to Bangladesh and Zambia to promote education for girls.
In January 2016, Watson started Our Shared Shelf, a feminist book club on Goodreads. It chose one book a month, and the first was My Life on the Road by Gloria Steinem, whom she interviewed in London that February. The club stopped posting updates in January 2020 but remains open as a discussion board. On the 2016 International Day of the Girl Child she visited Malawi to meet traditional chiefs and girls who had returned to school after escaping child marriage. She also joined Book Fairies and Books on the Underground, groups that leave books on public transport.
In March 2017, a Vanity Fair photo shoot drew backlash, and some outlets accused her of hypocrisy. Watson replied that feminism is not a stick with which to beat other women, and that it is about freedom and equality. She has also discussed her white privilege, telling British Vogue she had to engage meaningfully with the idea of "white feminism". She wrote about intersectionality for Our Shared Shelf, asking how she had benefited from being white.
Watson is a founding member of Time's Up UK and coordinated its launch at the 71st British Academy Film Awards. She helped establish industry guidelines on bullying and harassment, adopted by the British Film Institute and BAFTA. In February 2018 she donated £1 million to the group, and that October she helped set up its Justice and Equality Fund. In July 2019 she helped launch a legal helpline for workplace sexual harassment, with advice from the charity Rights of Women. She also joined a G7 gender equality advisory group convened by French president Emmanuel Macron. It first met at the Élysée Palace in Paris in February 2019, and she attended the 45th G7 summit in August.
In June 2020, Watson shared anti-racism resources in support of the George Floyd protests and interviewed Reni Eddo-Lodge on a podcast about her book. The next month she partnered with Eddo-Lodge and the WOW Foundation on a project to rename the 270 stops on the London Underground map after women and non-binary people who shaped the city. She has also voiced support for transgender rights. In June 2021 she was reported to be among investors putting $12.5 million into FabricNano, a startup developing sustainable alternatives to petrochemical products.
In January 2022, Watson posted an image of a pro-Palestinian protest carrying a "Solidarity is a verb" banner. Former Israeli science minister Danny Danon replied with the line "10 points from Gryffindor for being an antisemite". More than forty people, including Susan Sarandon and Mark Ruffalo, signed a letter backing her. In September 2025, on Jay Shetty's podcast, she said people must be allowed to care about the victims of terrorism and about civilians dying in Gaza at once.
Researchers at Lund University analysed the carbon footprints of ten celebrities in 2019. Watson's was the lowest, though her flying alone produced 15.1 tons, three times the global average. At the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, she hosted a panel with climate activist Greta Thunberg.
In March 2009, Forbes ranked Watson sixth on its list of Most Valuable Young Stars. By February 2010 she was Hollywood's highest-paid female star, having earned an estimated £19 million in 2009. In 2017 Forbes again placed her among the world's highest-paid actresses, with annual earnings of $14 million. British GQ named her Woman of the Year in 2013, and YouGov surveys in 2020 found her the sixth most admired woman in the world.
On her eighteenth birthday, paparazzi tried to photograph up her skirt, and she has faced numerous stalking threats. She does not take selfies with fans, citing security concerns, and prefers to talk with people one-on-one. She has said fans have shown her tattoos of her face and told her the Harry Potter books helped them through cancer. Often called a role model, she says the term "puts the fear of God into" her. A National Citizen Service survey coined the phrase "Emma Watson effect" for her influence on teenage girls, some of whom said her activism led them to call themselves feminists.
On the 16th of July 2025, Watson received a six-month driving ban at High Wycombe Magistrates' Court. A speed camera had recorded her at 38 mph in a 30 mph zone in Oxford on the evening of the 31st of July 2024. She was ordered to pay £1,044 and given three penalty points after a five-minute hearing she did not attend. The ban followed three earlier speeding offences that had added nine points to her licence. On the 6th of February 2024, her Audi S3 had also been towed after being parked obstructively outside a Stratford-upon-Avon pub for nearly four hours.
Watson's own answer to the pressure has been stillness. In 2013 she became certified to teach yoga and meditation, and she attended a week-long meditation course in Canada where residents may not speak. She went, she said, to figure out how to be at home with herself, because she could never rely on a physical place. In 2019 she described herself as "self-partnered". In 2022 she spent ten days at a Buddhist temple, taking a vow of silence.
In April 2023, Watson and her brother Alex launched Renais, a gin made from recycled grape skins and certified carbon neutral. They drew on their childhood in France and on their father's wine business. The name comes from a French word meaning "rebirth", and the gin is an ode to the Chablis wine region. In September 2023 the siblings won the Soho House Award for Breakthrough Entrepreneur. In January 2025, Renais was reported to have raised $6 million for investment.
