Emma Watson is one of the most bankable (if not the most bankable) young actress working today thanks to her role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies, for which franchise she rose to worldwide superstardom. She was already nominated for some awards including two Critics' Choice Awards of Best Young Actress. Her body of work include some projects in which she starred alongside Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Richard Harris, Gemma Jones, Maggie Smith, Emma Thompson, Michael Gambon, Julie Christie, Gary Oldman, Ralph Fiennes, Helena Bonham Carter and Miranda Richardson.
Her filmography include movies such as all the Harry Potter movies already made, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001), Harry Potter and the Chamber of the Secrets (2002), Harry Potter and the Prisioner of Azkaban (2004), Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005), Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007), Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I (2010), which were critically well-received projects and commercial phenomenons.

Emma Watson will appear next year in the big screen in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II, where she'll reprise her role as Hermione Granger for the last time, and in My Week With Marilyn.
