Hollywood actress Emma Watson rose to fame for her iconic role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter film series. However, the actress has delivered several powerful and memorable performances beyond the magical world.
The actress is celebrating her 35th birthday on April 15, 2025. The actress has been less active on her social media as well as in her acting career lately. She is currently focusing more on humanitarian work as she is a vocal feminist and environmentalist, besides being an actress. She is also a director and has helmed a short film for the Prada Paradoxe fragrance campaign.
However, Watson received critical acclaim for her role in the 2017 Disney live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast. She starred as Belle in the film, which was a huge hit and became one of her most financially successful ventures. The film also stars Dan Stevens as Beast.
Emma Watson went on to star in another hit film, Little Women, in 2019. Directed by Greta Gerwig, Watson played the role of Meg March, which also stars Florence Pugh, Saoirse Ronan, Timothée Chalamet and Meryl Streep in the key roles. The movie was a critical success and earned over $218 million worldwide.
However, Watson’s credit also involves a coming-of-age drama, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, which was released in 2012. She received huge praise for her role as Sam, the quasi-bad girl trying to reinvent herself before college. She brought life to her character in the adaption of Stephen Chbosky’s 1999 epistolary novel of the same name.
Emma Watson nailed the role of a fame-obsessed teen who burgle celebrity homes in 2013’s The Bling Ring. Directed by Sofia Coppola, the film features an ensemble cast including Katie Chang, Israel Broussard, Paris Hilton and Kirsten Dunst, among others. Although the film received mixed reviews from the audience, Watson’s performance stood out.
She starred in the 2014 film Noah alongside Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly. The actress pushed her limits for the role and brought her rawest emotions to the scenes. The movie received mixed reviews but performed well globally, earning $359 million worldwide.
Watson stars alongside Tom Hanks and John Boyega in the 2017 film The Circle. The film follows a woman who lands a dream job at a powerful tech company called the Circle, only to uncover an agenda that will affect the lives of all of humanity. The film received a great response from the audience, especially for Watson’s role.
