Emma WatsonAKA Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson

Born: 15-Apr-1990
Birthplace: Paris, France [1]

Gender: Female
Race or Ethnicity: White
Occupation: Actor

Nationality: England
Executive summary: Hermione in the Harry Potter movies

Emma Watson plays the bookish, brassy Hermione Granger in the films based on J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter books. Watson's parents, both lawyers, are divorced, and she lives with her mother. Prior to the Harry Potter films, she had only acted in school plays. Watson's drama teacher suggested that she try out for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, some of which was filmed in Watson's home town of Oxford.


[1] Many sources list Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. A video exists where Emma (speaking in French) gives her country of birth as France, but not any specific city. No truly authoritative source for her birth city other than this video is known to us. It is true that she spent some of her very early years in France. A possibility remains however, that she was born at Oxford.
