Emma Watson

You'd never guess that Emma Watson spent the first five years of her life in Paris, thanks to her upper-crust British accent. When her parents, both British lawyers working in France, divorced in 1995, Emma moved with her mother Jacqueline and younger brother Alex to Oxfordshire, England. While growing up, the aspiring actress learned to sing, dance and act at the Oxford branch of Stagecoach Theatre Arts.

emma watson gets cast in harry potter and the sorcerer's stone

Emma Watson starred in a number of school plays from age six to nine, but no films of the Hollywood variety. In fact, she had no films at all on her resume. When casting began for the film adaptation of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Emma's theater teacher directed casting agents to the budding actress. Eight auditions later and Watson, along with her then-future castmates Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint, landed the leading roles that would soon change the course of their lives. Sure, that might sound cliche, but when you're nine years old and you star in the highest grossing film of the year, life takes you by the hand and says, "Guess what, you're not going to be like anyone else you've known up until this point. Take a mental picture now and brace yourself."

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone went on to make $975 million worldwide, en route to becoming one of the most lucrative movies of all time. Emma Watson reclaimed her role as bookworm Hermione for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005). How many people get to watch not only themselves but their character grow up on camera?

Along the way, Emma Watson has been featured on the cover of Teen Vogue a total of three times, acted with luminaries like Richard Harris and Gary Oldman and has become a regular on the talk show circuit. In 2007, she starred in the fifth installment, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

After lending her voice to the animated flick The Tale of Despereaux, which costarred Dustin Hoffman, Sigourney Weaver and Matthew Broderick, Emma Watson began Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which came out in July of 2009. Prior to the opening of The Half-Blood Prince, the Potter flicks had already taken in over $4.5 billion worth of ticket sales.

Emma Watson recently wrapped up filming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I (out in 2010) and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II (out in 2011). Where will you see her post-Potter? University, most likely. "Until something comes along that I feel as strongly about as I did Hermione -- like, I felt that it was life or death -- I don't want to act again," says the young actress who plans to study English literature and art at an Ivy League school this fall.

Emma Watson won't be completely out of the limelight any time soon, and not just because Harry Potter films will be in theaters until 2011. Emma will star in Burberry's Fall/Winter 2009, shot by none other than world-renowned photographer Mario Testino.

Gaining more and more attention as a style icon, one of Emma Watson's favorite fashion houses is Chanel and, given that she herself admits she has enough money never to work again, we can understand why. The actress had the opportunity to meet Chanel's head honcho, the eccentric Karl Lagerfeld, when he recently photographed her for French magazine. "I'd met Karl a few times before, at parties or something where we really couldn't talk," says Emma. "But this was a dream come true." Yes, she gets to call him "Karl."

Fashion Don't! Celebrity Outfit Misteps

It’s undeniable that celebrities are always looked upon by fans as inspirations for fashion. They have power to introduce new trends which are picked up by their audience and copied. This is essentially true for celebrities in Asia. However, while celebrities are always on the quest to create their identity, fashion mistep comes hand in hand. There are only few of them who never had contributed to our list for what we call “fashion don’t!”

♥Be were on sending message through quotes.

Quotes on t-shirts and other apparels became common since many years back. Usually, a tee with texts is a better option compared to a dull single-colored plain tee. However, unless you wish to send that exact message printed on the fabric, you have to be careful in choosing the quotes.

The driver of a car waiting for the green light opened her window and carelessly threw a banana peel. When she finally got off her car, she turned out to be wearing a pink fitting t-shirt that says “I’m a bitch.”

Lindsay Lohan showed up at Snoop Dogg's More Malice release party at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood wearing this huge tee that screams she's a garbage chic.

♥Don't go saggy!

I wonder if saggy harem pants are made only for tall girls. It does not highlight any curves, which is vital for not long legged girls, therefore it does not create a figure-flattering look. Even if you wear the most gorgeous top, if you pair it with these kind of pants, it might defeat everything. But Janet Jackson was looking very comfortable in them.

♥Don't wear just anything and everything.

Going too matchy with your outfit can easily create an impression of being a “trying hard fashionista”. Complementary is more of a rule today than matching. But that does not mean that you simply have to throw all items you first grab from your closet - literally anything and everything. When prints clash, it simply says you made no effort. But that’s less harsh than saying you have no taste. Apparently, Mary-Kate Olsen was caught in such an act.

♥Some bustier aren't meant displayed.

I adore Emma Watson but I don’t adore this dress. I love lace. I love flowers too. But if the lace already took a large part and the embroidered flowers are not very flattering, I no longer need a pair of lacy bustier.

Is there any celebrity outfit you girls think is a mistep? Add them to our "fashion don't!" list.

Emma Watson Live Magazine Photoshoot latest

5 JPG | MQ

Emma watson was seen on the cover of Live Magazine for the February 2009 edition here are her photoshoot pictures, where opened up about how her life changed once she turned 18, her dreams of continuing her education, and how acting was never really part of her plan as a child. Good thing it turned out the way it did because I couldn't see anyone else playing Hermione in Harry Potter movies hot pictures gallery.

On not really needing to work again (but needing to prove to herself that she could):

Let’s be honest, I have enough money to never have to work again. It’s only just recently that I’ve really come round to the idea of carrying on with acting at all. I knew I was the perfect nine-year-old to play Hermione. But I was concerned that all would come out after that was Hermione. And if that had happened – well, I would know I couldn’t act. And then that would be it.’

On the industry wanting her to be sexy:

‘I find this whole thing about being 18 and everyone expecting me to be this object… 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. I feel uncomfortable. I’d never go out in a mini-skirt. It’s nothing to do with protecting the Hermione image. I wouldn’t do that.

‘Personally, I don’t actually think it’s even that sexy. What’s sexy about saying, “I’m here with my boobs out and a short skirt… have a look at everything I’ve got”? My idea of sexy is that less is more. The less you reveal the more people can wonder.’

On going to college while being an actor:

‘Jodie Foster did it, Natalie Portman did it,’ she says. ‘I think it’s entirely possible to juggle university with filming.’

Describing herself in a few words:

‘I think a good phrase to describe me is ‘eager to please’. It’s something I share with Hermione. We’re both terribly earnest people.

On her lack of desire as a child to become an actress:

I wasn’t one of those girls who always dreamed of being an actress. I went to a normal school and then these film auditioners turned up when I was nine. Then I just fell into this whirlwind. I had lots of times when I thought: “Woah, woah, hang on – I’m not completely sure about this.”

‘I didn’t come from a background of films. I didn’t even really ever watch films. The fact is, my parents weren’t into that stuff, and neither was I.’
