Emma Watson was nine when she got cast as Hermione Granger in Harry Potter. It was her first acting gig, but she carried herself like someone who’d been doing it for years. She made Hermione impossible to ignore, and fans latched onto her right away. For the next decade, she stayed locked into one of the biggest film franchises ever without losing her edge. After Harry Potter, she didn’t fade into the background or cling to the spotlight. She picked roles that felt different but smart—like The Perks of Being a Wallflower and Beauty and the Beast. Outside of acting, she built an entirely separate identity. She became a UN Goodwill Ambassador, launched the HeForShe campaign, and made it clear she wasn’t just here to entertain people.
