Emma Watson played Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter film series based on J.K. Rowling’s books.
Watson was cast as Hermione when she was a child and appeared in all eight Harry Potter films, released between 2001 and 2011. Hermione is one of Harry Potter’s closest friends and is portrayed as exceptionally intelligent, hardworking, and committed to defending others.
The character’s name is pronounced differently from some readers’ assumptions; Rowling later included a pronunciation guide in the books. Hermione’s knowledge frequently helps Harry and Ron solve problems, although her courage and loyalty are just as important as her academic ability.
After Harry Potter, Watson appeared in films including The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Bling Ring, and Beauty and the Beast. She also became a United Nations Women Goodwill Ambassador and supported the HeForShe campaign.
