About Emma Watson

Emma Watson, whose full name is Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson, is an English actress, activist, and model. She was born in Paris, France but raised in Oxfordshire, England when she was young. Her career began in the 1999 at the age of 9. She rose to prominence after taking part in the popular film series Harry Potter, portraying the character of Hermione Granger, one of the leading characters in the film.

After attending the Dragon School until 2003, she informed her parents that she wanted to become an actress. Shortly after, she began training at the Stagecoach Theatre Arts in the Oxford branch. By the age of 10, she was asked to appear in different plays and productions such as The Happy Prince and Arthur’s Young Years, however, her first professional acting role was in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.

Casting for the cult film began in 1999. Watson was found by the casting agents who noticed her work through her Oxford theatre teacher. After eight auditions, Watson, as well as her co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint were informed by the producer David Heyman that they were chosen for the roles. During her first screen test, Watson received support from J. K. Rowling herself.

English actress, model, and activist Emma Watson has an estimated net worth of $70 million dollars, as of 2023. Watson is best known for her role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter franchise.

In 2001, the first of eight Harry Potter films was released, which was a massive success. The film was called Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and upon its release, it broke records for opening-weekend takings and opening-day sales, while also becoming the highest-grossing film of the year. In total, the movie grossed $974.8 million dollars from a $125 million dollar budget. Emma’s role in the movie was highly praised and she gained a lot of attention for it. She even received her first award – Young Artist Award in the category “Leading Young Actress”.

The next two installments of the series were in 2002 and 2004 – Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Watson was more appreciative of the latter because her character became more charismatic. Despite being the lowest-grossing film of the series, Watson’s performance was once again praised.

She also was reported to having been paid large sums to reprise her role but no one really knew quite how much at that time. Watson’s comment was simply “acting never was about the money for me… Maybe in 10 years, I’ll be able to appreciate the fact that I am financially stable and independent.”

In 2005, Watson and the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire film reached new milestones. The film broke the records for opening weekend and the actress was nominated for even more awards than she ever had been before.

Besides being nominated for three “Goblet of Fire” awards, Watson became the youngest person to ever appear on the cover of Teen Vogue. However, for Watson, she has said “I find the whole concept of being ‘sexy’ embarrassing and confusing. If I do a photo-shoot, people desperately want to change me – dye my hair blonder, pluck my eyebrows, give me a fringe. Then there’s the choice of clothes. I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt. But that’s not me.”

Two years later, the next film was released – Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Thanks to her performance, Emma received the inaugural “National Movie Award”.

In 2022, it was reported that Watson received $62 million dollars for her role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films. She was paid $15 million dollars for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part I and another $15 million dollars for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2.

In March 2009, the young actress was added to the “Most Valuable Young Stars” list by Forbes magazine. A year later, in February 2010, with £19 million in earnings, she was named the highest-paid female star in all of Hollywood.

Shortly after the end of Harry Potter, Emma Watson starred in various movies, some successful, while others not so much. 2014’s The Perks Of Being A Wallflower had an international success and earned the actress a lot of awards and nominations. It was a relatively low budget movie, just $13 million, but still earned $33.3 million dollars worldwide.

In 2017, Emma took the role of Belle in the Disney adaptation of the well-known Beauty and the Beast. The movie was the second highest-grossing film of the year, with $1.264 billion dollars in earnings, making it one of the highest-grossing films of all time as well. Her most recent role was in Little Women which included actresses such as Meryl Streep, Saoirse Ronan, and Florence Pugh.

As well as adding some detail about what she does with her free time, saying “I always have several books on the go at any one moment”. It is unlikely that Watson has been a big spender.
