Which star from the Harry Potter films was born on Easter Sunday, 1990?

The Harry Potter film star born on Easter Sunday, 15 April 1990, was Emma Watson, who played Hermione Granger in all eight Harry Potter films.

Watson was born in Paris, France, to English parents, lawyers Jacqueline Luesby and Chris Watson. Her family moved to England when she was five, and she later trained in acting at Stagecoach Theatre Arts. She was cast as Hermione after auditions while still a child, making her film debut in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in 2001.

The Easter detail is accurate: in 1990, Easter Sunday fell on 15 April, Watson’s birthday. Easter Sunday is not fixed to one calendar date; it generally falls between 22 March and 25 April, which is why the holiday sometimes coincides with notable birthdays.

A common mix-up is confusing Watson’s birthday with those of her co-stars. Daniel Radcliffe was born on 23 July 1989, while Rupert Grint was born on 24 August 1988. Watson’s birthday also fell on Easter Sunday in 1990, before she became internationally famous as Hermione.
