Trending

Emma Watson was a global phenomenon at only 9 years old when she won the role of Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series, from 2001-2011. That popular role of a book-smart, very principled character gained her recognition and stardom. In the post-Potter era, Watson turned in a varied set of film roles, from The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012) to the more recent Beauty and the Beast (2017), besides doing much to champion women's rights as a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador.
