In recent years, she has taken part in a few film and TV productions, but has not been as active in the industry as she used to be. Even so, Watson has not ruled out the possibility of working on a new film if she feels really passionate about it. As we wait for future productions featuring the actress, here is a look back at all her movies following her role in the Harry Potter saga.
\n\n\n\n
10 The Circle
\n
STXfilms
\n\n
The 2017 film The Circle did not meet with very good reviews, but still became the highest-grossing film of James Ponsoldt's career. This production, based on Dave Eggers' 2013 novel, stars Watson and Tom Hanks accompanied by John Boyega, Karen Gillian, Ellar Coltrane, and Patton Oswalt.
\n\n
In The Circle, Emma plays Mae, a young woman who lands the opportunity of a lifetime to work for the world's leading tech and social media company, headed by CEO Eamon Bailey. Once inside, she gets involved in a project that seems groundbreaking, but it doesn't take long for her to discover that the experiment has hidden agendas that could greatly affect the lives of her friends and family, as well as the entire world.
In 2015, Watson and Ethan Hawke starred in Regression, a thriller film written and directed by Alejandro Amenábar that had its premiere at the San Sebastián International Film Festival. In this production, Hawke plays Bruce Kenner, a detective who is assigned to investigate the alleged rape of a teenage girl at the hands of her father. Although the aggressor pleads guilty, he has absolutely no memory of the event, so Kenner turns to a professor and psychologist to restore the man's memory, unaware that this would also uncover a dark conspiracy.
\n\n\n\n\n
Regression reunites Watson and David Thewlis, who appeared in the Harry Potter saga playing Remus Lupin. Unfortunately, this production failed to live up to expectations, disappointing critics and falling short at the box office.

Signature Entertainment
\n\n
The same year that Regression premiered, Watson also starred in Florian Gallenberger's film Colonia, a historical thriller that debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival. In this film, she plays Lena, a flight attendant who sets out on a mission to find her boyfriend after he disappeared in the midst of a Chilean Military coup in 1973. Lena's quest leads her to a colony that, beneath a religious façade, harbors a cult organization from which no one has been able to escape. Joining the lead actress in this production are Daniel Brühl, Michael Nyqvist, Richenda Carey, and Vicky Krieps.

7 The Bling Ring
\n
A24
\n\n
The Bling Ring was a group of fame-obsessed teenagers who, between 2008 and 2009, broke into the homes of different celebrities to steal millions of dollars worth of their belongings. Inspired by this true story, in 2013 Sofia Coppola wrote and directed The Bling Ring, recounting the case of this group in a film that was very well reviewed by critics, whom particularly praised Watson's performance in a role quite different from the ones she usually plays on screen.
\n\n
In this production, the actress is joined by an ensemble cast featuring Katie Chang, Israel Broussard, Taissa Farmiga, and Claire Julien. The Bling Ring also has Paris Hilton, Kirsten Dunst, and Brett Goodkin making cameos as themselves.

Paramount Pictures
\n\n
In 2014, Darren Aronofsky drew inspiration from the biblical story of Noah's Ark to create Noah, a production that not only pleased crowds, but also became his highest-grossing film to date, earning $362 million worldwide. It stars Russell Crowe as the title character alongside Jennifer Connelly, Ray Winstone, Watson, Logan Lerman, and Anthony Hopkins. The film follows Noah on his divine mission to build an ark that can accommodate his family and a breeding pair of every animal before God's wrath manifests itself through a massive flood.

5 My Week with Marilyn
\n
The Weinstein Company
\n\n
My Week with Marilyn is a 2011 film by Simon Curtis inspired by the literary work of Colin Clark. This production follows the filming of the British rom-com The Prince and the Showgirl, starring Marilyn Monroe and Laurence Olivier, and Clark's week-long experience working as a personal assistant on the film, where he met Monroe and struck up a very special relationship with her.
\n\n
Michelle Williams and Kenneth Branagh play the roles of Monroe and Olivier, while Eddie Redmayne portrays Colin Clark. Joining this trio in the cast are Dominic Cooper, Julia Ormond, Judi Dench, and Watson, who plays costume assistant Lucy Armstrong. For their work in this acclaimed production, Williams and Branagh received nominations at the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes, where the actress succeeded in winning the award.
With an all-star cast featuring Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, James Franco, Jay Baruchel, Michael Cera, Craig Robinson, and Watson, it's no wonder that the 2013 comedy This Is the End quickly became a hit with critics and audiences. This film, which marked Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's directorial debut, adapts the short film Jay and Seth Versus the Apocalypse, also written by the duo, to the silver screen and went on to gross $126 million worldwide, becoming a box office hit.
\n\n\n\n\n
In This Is the End, the actors play over-the-top versions of themselves, who are holed up in James Franco's house, following the apocalypse as it wreaks havoc on Los Angeles and around the world. But as time goes by and supplies run out, the situation within the house gets quite overwhelming.

3 Beauty and the Beast
\n
Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures
\n\n

Beauty and the Beast was directed by Bill Condon, with Dan Stevens, Luke Evans, Kevin Kline, Josh Gad, Ewan McGregor and Emma Thompson joining Watson in the cast.
\n\n\n
The film met with positive reviews upon its release, garnering several nominations and awards, including two at the Academy Awards. In addition, Beauty and the Beast became one of the highest-grossing films in history, raking in $1.2 billion worldwide.

Watson was born in Paris to British parents who divorced when she was young. She and her brother went to live with their mother in Oxfordshire, England. While a child, Watson decided she wanted to be an actress. Besides attending school, she took acting and singing classes. She also appeared in several school plays.

Watson began acting in earnest in 1999 after she auditioned for a part in the filmadaptation of J.K. Rowling\u2019s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer\u2019s Stone (2001). She won the role of smart and logical Hermione, one of Harry Potter\u2019s best friends. The film was a box-office hit, and Watson reprised her role in the franchise\u2019s other movies: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002), Harry Potter and the Prisoner 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), Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010), and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011).

After the Potter films ended, Watson began to look for more mature roles. Her first major part was in the dramaThe Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012), in which she played a high-school senior who becomes friends with a clinically depressed freshman. She subsequently appeared in the crime drama The Bling Ring (2013), the historical thriller The Colony (also known as Colonia; 2015), and the sci-fi thriller The Circle (2017). These films had limited success at the box-office, but Watson had another blockbuster hit with the live-action Disney adaptation (2017) of Beauty and the Beast. In 2019 she appeared as Meg March in Greta Gerwig\u2019s acclaimed Little Women, which was based on Louisa May Alcott\u2019s classic children\u2019s book.
\n
Meanwhile, in the midst of her acting career, Watson pursued a college degree. In 2009 she began attendingBrown University in Providence, Rhode Island. She took time off as needed for filming, and she also studied for a year at the University of Oxford. Watson graduated from Brown in 2014 with a bachelor\u2019s degree in English literature.

Early life and education
\n
Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson[4] was born on 15 April 1990 in Paris, to English lawyers Chris Watson and Jacqueline Luesby.[5][6][7][8] Watson lived in Maisons-Laffitte near Paris until age five. Her parents divorced when she was young, and Watson moved to England to live with her mother in Oxfordshire while spending weekends at her father's house in London.[6][9] Watson has said she speaks some French, though \"not as well\" as she used to.[10] After moving to Oxford with her mother and brother, she attended the Dragon School, remaining there until 2003.[6] From age six, she wanted to become an actress,[11] and trained at the Oxford branch of Stagecoach Theatre Arts, a part-time theatre school where she studied singing, dancing, and acting.[12]\n
By age ten, Watson had performed in Stagecoach productions and school plays including Arthur: The Young Years and The Happy Prince,[13] but she had never acted professionally prior to the Harry Potter series. After the Dragon School, Watson moved on to Headington School, Oxford.[6] While on film sets, she and her castmates were tutored for up to five hours a day.[14] In June 2006, she took GCSE school examinations in ten subjects, achieving eight A* and two A grades. In May 2007, she took AS levels in English, Geography, Art, and History of Art. The following year, she dropped History of Art to pursue the three A levels, receiving an A grade in each subject.[6][15][16]\n
Watson took a gap year after finishing secondary school,[17] to film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows \u2013 Parts 1&2 beginning in February 2009,[18] but asserted that she intended to continue her studies[19] and later confirmed she had chosen Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.[20] In March 2011, after 18 months at the university, Watson announced she was deferring her course for \"a semester or two\",[21] though she attended Worcester College, Oxford during the 2011\u201312 academic year as part of the Visiting Student Programme.[22][23] In a 2014 interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Watson said just before graduation that it took five years to finish her degree instead of four because, owing to her acting work, she \"ended up taking two full semesters off\".[24] On 25 May 2014, she graduated from Brown University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature.[25] In 2023, she began a masters course in creative writing at Oxford University.[26]\n
\n
Acting career
\n
1999\u20132009: Harry Potter and worldwide recognition
The release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in 2001 was Watson's debut screen performance. The film broke records for opening-day sales and opening-weekend takings and was the highest-grossing film of 2001.[27][28] Critics singled out Watson for particular acclaim; The Daily Telegraph called her performance \"admirable\",[29] and IGN said she \"stole the show\".[30] Watson was nominated for five awards for her performance in Philosopher's Stone, winning the Young Artist Award for Leading Young Actress.[31] A year later, Watson reprised her role as Hermione in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the second instalment of the series. Reviewers praised the lead actors' performances. The Los Angeles Times said Watson and her co-stars had matured between films,[32] while The Times criticised director Chris Columbus for \"under-employing\" Watson's hugely popular character.[33] Watson received an Otto Award from the German magazine Bravo for her performance.[34]\n
In 2004, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was released. Watson was appreciative of the more assertive role Hermione played, calling her \"charismatic\" and \"a fantastic role to play\".[35] Critics lauded Watson's performance; A. O. Scott of The New York Times remarked: \"Luckily Mr. Radcliffe's blandness is offset by Ms. Watson's spiky impatience. Harry may show off his expanding wizardly skills ... but Hermione ... earns the loudest applause with a decidedly unmagical punch to Draco Malfoy's deserving nose.\"[36] Although Prisoner of Azkaban proved to be the lowest-grossing Harry Potter film in the entire series, Watson's personal performance won her two Otto Awards and the Child Performance of the Year award from Total Film.[37][38]\n
With Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005), both Watson and the Harry Potter film series reached new milestones. The film set records for a Harry Potter opening weekend and opening weekend in the UK. Critics praised the increasing maturity of Watson and her teenage co-stars; The New York Times called her performance \"touchingly earnest\",[39] and Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian wrote that \"Watson's gutsy, confident performance nicely shows that inside and outside the world of magic there is a growing discrepancy between a teenage girl's status and her accelerating emotional and intellectual development.\"[40] For Watson, much of the film's humour sprang from the tension among the three lead characters as they matured. She said, \"I loved all the arguing. ... I think it's much more realistic that they would argue and that there would be problems.\"[41] Nominated for three awards for Goblet of Fire, Watson won a bronze Otto Award.[42][43]\n
In 2006, Watson played Hermione in The Queen's Handbag, a special mini-episode of Harry Potter in celebration of Queen Elizabeth II's 80th birthday.[44] The fifth film in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, was released in 2007. A huge financial success, the film set a record worldwide opening-weekend gross of $332.7 million.[45] Watson won the inaugural National Movie Award for Best Female Performance.[46] As the fame of the actress and the series continued to rise, Watson and her Harry Potter co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint left imprints of their hands, feet and wands in front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on 9 July 2007.[47] That month, Watson's work on the Harry Potter series was said to have earned her more than \u00a310 million, and she acknowledged she would never have to work for money again.[48]\n
Prior to the release of Order of the Phoenix, the future of the Harry Potter series was in jeopardy, as all three lead actors were hesitant to sign on to continue their roles for the final instalments.[49] Watson was considerably more ambivalent than her co-stars during renegotiations.[50] She explained that the decision was significant, as the films represented a further four-year commitment to the role, but eventually conceded that she \"could never let [the role of] Hermione go\",[51] signing for the role on 23 March 2007.[52]\n
Principal photography for the sixth Harry Potter film began in late 2007, with Watson's part being filmed from 18 December to 17 May 2008.[61][62]Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince premiered on 15 July 2009,[63] having been delayed from November 2008.[64] With the lead actors in their late teens, critics were increasingly willing to review them on the same level as the rest of the franchise's all-star cast, which the Los Angeles Times described as \"a comprehensive guide to contemporary UK acting\".[65]The Washington Post felt Watson had given \"[her] most charming performance to date\",[66] while The Daily Telegraph described the lead actors as \"newly liberated and energised, eager to give all they have to what's left of the series\".[67]\n
Watson's filming for the final instalment, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, began on 18 February 2009[68] and ended on 12 June 2010.[69] For financial and scripting reasons, the original book was divided into two films which were shot consecutively.[70][18]Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows \u2013 Part 1 was released in November 2010 while the second film was released in July 2011.[71]Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows \u2013 Part 2 became a commercial and critical success. The highest-grossing film in the franchise, it grossed more than $1.3 billion worldwide and proved to be Watson's most commercially successful film to date.[72]\n

2010\u20132016: Independent films and mainstream work
\n
Watson appeared in a music video for One Night Only, after meeting lead singer George Craig at the 2010 Winter/Summer Burberry advertising campaign. The video, \"Say You Don't Want It\", was screened on Channel 4 on 26 June 2010 and released on 16 August.[73] In her first post-Harry Potter film, Watson appeared in My Week with Marilyn (2011) as Lucy, a wardrobe assistant who briefly dates protagonist Colin Clark, portrayed by Eddie Redmayne.[74][75]\n
In May 2010, Watson was reported to be in talks to star in Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower,[76] based on the 1999 novel of the same name. Filming began in summer of 2011, and the film was released in September 2012.[77] Watson starred opposite Logan Lerman as Sam, a high school senior who befriends a fellow student called Charlie (Lerman), and helps him through his freshman year. The film opened to favourable reviews; David Sexton of the Evening Standard opined that Watson's performance was \"plausible and touching\",[78] while The Atlantic reviewer thought that Watson \"sheds the memory of a decade playing Hermione in the Harry Potter series with an about-face as a flirtatious but insecure free spirit.[79]\n
Watson joined the cast of the satirical crime film The Bling Ring on February 29, 2012,[80] The Sofia Coppola-directed film is based on the real-life Bling Ring robberies, with Watson playing a fictionalised version of Alexis Neiers, a television personality who was one of seven teenagers involved in the robberies. The film was released in 2013. While the film mostly received mixed reviews, critics gave almost unanimous praise for Watson's performance. Adam White of The Independent later stated that \"She prove[d] remarkable.... Watson oozes casual disdain. Her sticky American vocal fry is clipped and monotone, as if she's swallowed a Kardashian for breakfast.\"[81] Watson also had a supporting role in the apocalyptic comedy This Is the End (2013), in which she, Seth Rogen, James Franco and many others played \"exaggerated versions of themselves\"[82] and Watson memorably dropped the \"f-bomb\".[83] She said she could not pass up the opportunity to make her first comedy and \"work with some of the best comedians [...] in the world right now\".[84]\n
In June 2012, Watson was confirmed for the role as Ila, Shem's wife, in Darren Aronofsky's Noah, which began filming the following month, and was released in March 2014.[85] Watson referred to the role as \"physically very demanding\" given the usage of special effects and did extensive research on childbirth to effectively portray a scene in the film.[86] The film, a box office success, received mixed reviews for its direction and casting; Vanity Fair wrote that \"Watson anchors the film's rawest emotional scenes.... Sitting on an Icelandic beach with Russell Crowe, her hair wild and eyes burning, Watson is quiet but ferocious.\"[87] In March 2013, it was reported that Watson was in negotiations to star as the title character in Kenneth Branagh's live-action Disney adaptation of Cinderella.[88] Watson was offered the role, but turned it down because she did not connect with the character.[89][90] The role ultimately went to Lily James.[91]\n
Watson performed the background vocals in the second chorus of the song \"Pantomime\" by singer Ben Hammersley, alongside \u00d3lafur Arnalds. The song was released on 20 January 2014.[92]\n
Watson joined Judi Dench, Robert Downey Jr., Mike Leigh, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Mark Ruffalo as recipients of the 2014 Britannia Awards, presented on 30 October in Los Angeles. Watson was awarded British Artist of the Year and she dedicated the prize to Millie, her pet hamster who died as Watson was filming Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.[93] Watson starred in two 2015 releases, the thrillers Colonia, opposite Daniel Br\u00fchl and Michael Nyqvist;[94] and Regression by Alejandro Amen\u00e1bar, alongside Ethan Hawke and her Harry Potter co-star David Thewlis.[95][96] Both of these films received generally negative reviews;[97][98]The Daily Telegraph critic blamed Regression's script for her \"pure dramatic cardboard\" role.[99] She also appeared in an episode of BBC's The Vicar of Dibley, in which she played Reverend Iris.[100] In February 2016, Watson announced she was taking a year-long break from acting. She planned to spend the time on her \"personal development\" and her women's rights work.[101]\n
Watson starred as Belle in the 2017 live-action Disney adaptation of Beauty and the Beast directed by Bill Condon, and starring opposite Dan Stevens as the Beast.[102] She was given autonomy within Belle's portrayal; she re-characterised her as an assistant to her inventor father and incorporated bloomers and boots into her wardrobe.[103] The film grossed over $1.2 billion at the worldwide box office and emerged as the second-highest-grossing film of 2017 and the 17th-highest-grossing film of all time.[104] Her reported fee was $3 million upfront with profit participation, bringing her salary up to $15 million.[105] The film garnered positive reviews; Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times thought her performance was \"all pluck and spunk and sass and smarts and fierce independence as Belle\".[104][106][107] Watson later said \"When I finished the film, it kind of felt like I had made that transition into being a woman on-screen\".[103]\n
In the same year, she starred opposite Tom Hanks in the film adaptation of Dave Eggers' novel The Circle as Mae Holland, who begins working at a powerful tech corporation and enters a perilous situation concerning surveillance and freedom.[108] The film received negative reviews but was a moderate box office success.[109] In 2019, Watson starred as Meg March in Greta Gerwig's adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's novel Little Women, co-starring with Saoirse Ronan, Florence Pugh, Laura Dern, Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet, and Meryl Streep.[110] On the premise, Watson has stated \"I think [Little Women] was good literary device to explain that there's not one way to be a feminist.... [Meg's] way of being a feminist is making the choice \u2013 because that's really, for me anyway, what feminism is about. Her choice is that she wants to be a full-time mother and wife.\"[111]Forbes stated that \"Watson has perhaps the most challenging [...] role, as the proverbial straight woman of the sisters who is put on the defensive when her dreams end up being the most conventional of the lot.\"[112] The film was critically acclaimed and grossed over $218 million against its $40 million budget.[113][114][115]\n
In 2020, Watson discussed her future career plans, stating: \"Having been so public in making films and being so active on social [media] in my activism, I am curious to embrace a role where I work to amplify more voices, to continue to learn from those with different experiences\", adding that her work would include \"fewer red carpets and more conference meetings\".[116] In 2021, various reports surfaced stating that Watson was engaged or retiring.[117][118] Watson and her representatives refuted these reports; she later labelled the speculation as clickbait and cited her relative public absence to continued social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.[119] In 2022, Watson reunited with multiple cast members of the Harry Potter film series for an HBO Max special titled Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts.[120] The following year, Watson revealed in an interview with the Financial Times that a reason why she had not acted in almost five years was because she \"wasn't very happy\" with the profession and that she felt \"a bit caged\". However, she went on to say that she will \"absolutely\" return to acting while also saying, \"But I'm happy to sit and wait for the next right thing. I love what I do. It's finding a way to do it where I don't have to fracture myself into different faces and people. And I just don't want to switch into robot mode any more.\"[121]\n
\n
Fashion career
\n
In 2005, Watson began her modelling career with a photo shoot for Teen Vogue, which made her the youngest person to cover the magazine.[5] Three years later, the British press reported that Watson was to replace Keira Knightley as the face of Chanel, but this was denied by both parties.[122] In June 2009, following several months of rumours, Watson confirmed she would be partnering with Burberry as the face of their Autumn/Winter 2009 campaign, for which she received an estimated six-figure fee.[123][124] She also appeared in Burberry's 2010 Spring/Summer campaign alongside her brother Alex, musicians George Craig and Matt Gilmour, and model Max Hurd.[125] In February 2011, Watson was awarded the Style Icon award from British Elle by Dame Vivienne Westwood.[126] Watson continued her involvement in fashion advertising when she announced she had been chosen as the face of Lanc\u00f4me in March 2011.[127]\n
In September 2009, Watson announced her involvement with People Tree, a fair trade fashion brand.[128] Watson worked as a creative adviser for the company to create a spring line of clothing, which was released in February 2010;[128][129] the range featured styles inspired by southern France and London.[129][130] The collection, described by The Times as \"very clever\" despite their \"quiet hope that [she] would become tangled at the first hemp-woven hurdle\",[131] was widely publicised in magazines such as Teen Vogue,[132]Cosmopolitan, and People. Watson, who was not paid for the collaboration,[133] admitted that competition for the range was minimal,[131] but argued that \"Fashion is a great way to empower people and give them skills; rather than give cash to charity you can help people by buying the clothes they make and supporting things they take pride in\"; adding, \"I think young people like me are becoming increasingly aware of the humanitarian issues surrounding fast fashion and want to make good choices but there aren't many options out there.\"[131] Watson continued her involvement with People Tree, resulting in the release of a 2010 Autumn/Winter collection.[134]\n
In 2013, Madame Tussauds in London unveiled a wax statue of Watson wearing an Elie Saabhaute couture design donated to the museum by the designer. A spokesperson for the museum stated, \"[Watson] is one of the most requested personalities by our guests. She's a true English rose known and loved by millions of film and fashion fans around the world\".[135][136] Watson was awarded Best British Style at the 2014 British Fashion Awards.[137] The competition included David Beckham, Amal Clooney, Kate Moss, and Keira Knightley.[138]\n
Watson has been described as \"an early adopter of sustainable fashion\" and is noted for dressing ethically on the red carpet.[139][140] She wore a Calvin Klein gown to the 2016 Met Gala made out of recycled plastic bottles.[141] Watson has supported Good On You, an app that acts as a directory for the sustainability level of fashion brands.[142] In 2017, she began updating an Instagram account entitled \"The Press Tour\", detailing the ethical brands she wore during the press tours for films such as Beauty and the Beast and The Circle. Watson guest-edited the March 2018 issue of Vogue Australia focusing on fashion sustainability, and was photographed by Peter Lindbergh for the magazine.[143][144] In January 2020, she partnered with consignment website ThredUP to launch a \"Fashion Footprint Calculator\", which allows website visitors to calculate the carbon impact of their wardrobes and ways to reduce it.[145]\n
In June 2020, Watson was appointed the youngest member of the board of directors of Kering, the owner of various fashion brands such as Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent. Watson will chair Kering's sustainability committee. Kering chairman Fran\u00e7ois-Henri Pinault praised the new board members' \"knowledge and competences, and the multiplicity of their backgrounds and perspectives\".[146] Watson stated she \"hope[d] to influence decisions that will impact future generations and the world that we leave them\" and was \"extremely excited\" to collaborate with the Kering Foundation as part of their women's rights work and looked forward to making a difference \"behind the scenes\".[116]\n
In August 2022, Watson became the face of Prada Beauty's new fragrance Paradoxe. She starred in, directed, wrote and narrated the short film for the fragrance's promotional campaign.[147] In January 2024, Watson became the face of Prada's Re-Nylon collection, the sustainable product line of the brand.[148][149]\n

Activism and advocacy
\n
\n
\n
\"It is time that we all perceive gender on a spectrum not as two opposing sets of ideals. [...] I want men to take up this mantle. So their daughters, sisters and mothers can be free from prejudice but also so that their sons have permission to be vulnerable and human too [...] and in doing so be a more true and complete version of themselves.\"\n
Watson is an outspoken feminist.[151][152] She has promoted education for girls, travelling to Bangladesh and Zambia to do so.[153] In July 2014, she was appointed a UN WomenGoodwill ambassador.[154] That September, an admittedly nervous Watson[150] delivered an address at UN Headquarters in New York City to launch the UN Women campaign HeForShe, which aims to urge men to advocate for gender equality. In that speech she said she began questioning gender-based assumptions at age eight when she was called \"bossy\", a trait she has attributed to her being a \"perfectionist\",[155] whilst boys were not, and at 14 when she was \"sexualised by certain elements of the media\".[156] Watson's speech described feminism as \"the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities\" and declared that the perception of feminism as being \"man-hating\" is something that \"has to stop\".[150] The speech made worldwide headlines from both major news outlets and fashion blogs, and the organisation's website crashed after press coverage of the event.[103] Watson later said she received threats within less than twelve hours of making the speech, which left her \"raging. [...] If they were trying to put me off [women's rights work], it did the opposite.\"[157]\n
Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, the executive director of UN Women, stated, \"For a time, there was a conversation about whether 'feminism' was a good thing or a bad thing... [Her speech] gave us the word back.\"[103] In 2015, Malala Yousafzai told Watson she decided to call herself a feminist after hearing her speech.[158]\n
\nWatson's butterfly themed \"Flutterby Bear\" (right), one of fifty Paddington Bears along 'The Paddington Trail' in London, auctioned for the NSPCC\n
Also in September, Watson made her first country visit as a UN Women Goodwill ambassador to Uruguay where she gave a speech highlighting the need for women's political participation.[159] In November 2014, Watson designed a Paddington Bear statue, one of fifty located around London prior to the release of the film Paddington, which was auctioned to raise funds for the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC).[160] In December, the Ms. Foundation for Women named Watson its Feminist Celebrity of 2014, following an online poll.[161] Watson also gave a speech about gender equality in January 2015, at the World Economic Forum's annual winter meeting.[162]\n
Watson took the top spot on the AskMen \"Top 99 Outstanding Women 2015\" list on the strength of having \"thrown her back\" into women's rights issues.[163] In the same year, Watson was included on the Time 100 list of the world's most influential people, her first-ever appearance on the list. For its recap, former New York Times editor Jill Abramson noted Watson's \"gutsy, smart take on feminism\" and called her effort to get men involved \"refreshing\".[164]\n
Watson has cited Gloria Steinem and Maya Angelou as influences.[165] In January 2016, Watson started a feminist Goodreads book club: Our Shared Shelf.[166] The goal of the club is to share feminist ideas and encourage discussion on the topic. One book is selected per month and is discussed in the last week of that month.[166] The first book to be selected was My Life on the Road by Steinem, whom Watson would later interview that February at the How to: Academy in London.[167][168]Our Shared Shelf ceased updates in January 2020, but continues to be open as a discussion board for recommendations.[169]\n
On 2016 International Day of the Girl Child, Watson visited Malawi to meet with traditional chiefs and girls who returned to school after being freed from child marriage.[170] Watson has partnered with organisations such as Book Fairies and Books on the Underground to leave literature on public transit for consumption.[165]\n
In March 2017, Watson received backlash for a Vanity Fair photo shoot in which one of the shots had her breasts partly visible, for which some in the news media accused her of hypocrisy.[171] Bemused by the controversy, she argued that \"feminism is not a stick with which to beat other women\" but is instead about freedom, liberation and equality, adding, \"I really don't know what my tits have to do with it.\"[172][171]\n
Watson has discussed her white privilege in feminist spaces;[173] in an interview with British Vogue, she commented, \"I saw 'white feminism' coming up again and again, and I was like, 'Hey, this is clearly something that I have to meaningfully engage with. I have to understand this better\".[174] She has written about intersectionality for Our Shared Shelf, discussing her self-reflection on \"What are the ways I have benefited from being white? In what ways do I support and uphold a system that is structurally racist?\"[175]\n
In July 2019, Watson helped launch a legal helpline for people who have suffered sexual harassment in the workplace. Legal advice is provided by Rights of Women, a charity which works to help women through the law.[181] In the same year, she joined a G7 gender equality advisory group convened by the president of France, Emmanuel Macron, to \"call on G7 to make political and economic advances for women within their own countries\" as well as a \"centerpiece of foreign policy\".[182] She attended their first meeting at the \u00c9lys\u00e9e Palace in Paris in February and attended the 45th G7 summit in August as part of the committee.[183]\n
In July 2020, she partnered with Lodge and the WOW Foundation to spearhead a project reimagining the London Underground Map, renaming the 270 stops to spotlight women and non-binary people who have shaped the city's history. The initiative will consult writers, museums, and librarians and is set to be published by Haymarket Books on International Women's Day 2021.[187] Watson was among the 400 signatories in a letter calling for the UK government to include women in \"decision-making roles\" at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow.[188]\n
Watson has often been cited as a role model, though she shies away from the term, stating that \"it puts the fear of god into [her]\".[196] Her impact on teenage girls' view of women's rights has been referred to as the \"Emma Watson effect\", with respondents from a National Citizen Service survey stating that her work in activism had inspired them to label themselves feminists.[197][198][199] In her initial post-Harry Potter career, she was noted to focus on smaller films rather than big-budget studio films.[81] Adam White of The Independent states that Watson's acting style possesses \"a very human sensitivity and quiet strength.\"[81][200]\n
Describing Watson's off-screen persona, Derek Blasberg of Vanity Fair has called her \"shy\", \"friendly, intelligent, and down to earth.\" Steinem has described her as \"way more like a real person than a movie star\", while author bell hooks considers her to be part of \"a very different, new breed [of actors] who are interested in being whole and having a holistic life, as opposed to being identified with just wealth and fame.\"[103]\n
Watson's character in Harry Potter has had a significant impact on pop culture; the actress has commented, \"I have met fans [with] my face tattooed on their bod[ies]. I've met people who used the Harry Potter books to get through cancer. I don't know how to explain it, but the Harry Potter phenomenon steps into a different zone.\" Watson has been the subject of substantial media attention since the beginning of her career; on her eighteenth birthday she was photographed by paparazzi attempting to take pictures up her skirt, and she has been victim of numerous stalking threats. Watson does not take selfies with fans, citing security concerns, and instead prefers to talk one-on-one during interactions.[103]\n
In March 2009, she was ranked sixth on the Forbes list of \"Most Valuable Young Stars\"[201] and in February 2010, she was Hollywood's highest-paid female star, having earned an estimated \u00a319 million in 2009.[202] In 2017, Forbes ranked her among the world's highest-paid actresses, with annual earnings of $14 million.[203] In 2013, Watson was British GQ's Woman of the Year and topped Empire's list of the 100 Sexiest Movie Stars.[204][205] Watson was found to be the sixth most admired woman in the world in global surveys conducted by YouGov in 2020.[206]\n
On coping with intense fame from a young age, she has said that remaining rooted in her own identity helped her eventually \"find peace\".[209] In 2013, she had become certified to teach yoga and meditation. As part of this certification, she attended a week-long meditation course at a Canadian facility, in which residents are not allowed to speak, in order \"to figure out how to be at home with myself\".[210][211] Regarding her meditation training, she stated in an interview with Elle Australia that an uncertain future meant finding \"a way to always feel safe and at home within myself. Because I can never rely on a physical place.\"[212]\n

The\u00a0Harry Potter\u00a0franchise had a lot of characters coming and going, but today we will talk about the characters who had the most screentime. The world hasn’t been the same since\u00a0Harry Potter\u00a0movies started rolling out. The legacy it has left behind is unreal and all the elements would make you want to restart the entire sequence of the movies once again. As you know, the movies are directly inspired by J.K. Rowling‘s novels. When e speak of characters, some of them had their roles cut short as compared to the books. So, let’s have a look at some of the Harry Potter\u00a0characters who had the most screentime.
\n
Harry Potter \u2013\u00a0539:15
\nHarry Potter: Daniel Radcliffe had the most screen time\n
With little to no surprise, Daniel Radcliffe‘s Harry Potter tops the list as he is the entire story in himself. He is the Chosen One who is destined to end the Dark Lord. So of course, he has to be at the top of the list. He gets a screen time of \u00a0539 minutes and 15 seconds onscreen with over one million words exchanged.
\n\n
\n\n\n
\n
\n
Ron Weasley \u2013 211:45
\nHarry Potter: Ron Weasley\n
Potter’s best friend, Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) has a good amount of screen time. The duo immediately clicks it off and it is established in the first movie itself that they will be best of friends. However, some fans believe that some of his best moments from the novel were cut out and the character was a little ill-defined.
\n\n\n\n
\n
Hermione Granger \u2013 205:00
\nHarry Potter: Emma Watson as Hermione Granger\n
Even though she’s third on the list, actor Emma Watson went on to have a solid career after the Harry Potter franchise. Granger is the vessel that provides normalcy in the movie. She shows a vast range of human emotions but some fans believe that her character was a little overdone. She has appeared in every movie and is a great friend of Harry.
\n
Albus Dumbledore \u2013 77:15
\nHarry Potter: Albus Dumbledore\n
He is Harr’s GPS through his initial years at Hogwarts. Even though most of his work is outside the radius of Hogwarts and behind the scenes, he still manages to get a good enough screen time. He appears in seven out of eight movies. But just like Voldemort, his screen time increases as the stake gets higher.
\n\n
\n\n\n
\n
\n
Rubeus Hagrid \u2013 45:45
\nHarry Potter: Rubeus Hagrid\n
Hagrid is a great character who provides warmth and the element of loyalty to the film. He is easily one of the most liked characters from the franchise and is one of Harry’s best allies. He rightfully earns his\u00a045 minutes and 45 seconds of screentime across all eight movies.
\n
Severus Snape \u2013 43:15
\nHarry Potter: Severus Snape\n
Harry has three main enemies – Malfoy, Voldemort, and Snape. However, it is later revealed that Snape was protecting him all the time. It was a heartbreaking twist when the audience learned that Snape was in love with Lilly (Harry’s mom) till the very end. It’s the last three movies that give him some serious screen time.
\n
Lord Voldemort \u2013 37:15
\nHarry Potter: Lord Voldemort\n
Now comes the main antagonist of the entire franchise, Tom Riddle, aka Lord Voldemort. The you-know-who didn’t have much screen time, but his presence never left any movie. Even though the screen time is merely 37 minutes and 15 seconds, he easily ends up becoming one of the greatest villains of all times.

\n
Changes had to be made in the movie adaptations to fit each book into a run time, resulting in some fan-favorite moments and characters being left out.
\n
The upcoming Harry Potter TV series on Max may give deserving characters more screen time, improving upon previous adaptations.

\n\n
This is also a nagging point for many fans of the book series, as changes had to be made to fit each book into a movie run time. Not only did the movie adaptations of the Harry Potter books leave out several fan-favorite moments, but several characters had their roles significantly cut compared to the books too. Although some would argue that it was necessary to do so as it allowed those critical to the main storyline to shine, there were a few that definitely deserved a bit more. There is a chance that the upcoming Harry Potter TV series on Max will fix that and give some deserving Harry Potter characters' screen time to these favorites.
Despite the fact that she didn't make her first appearance until the fifth movie in the series, Luna Lovegood still appeared on the screen more than many more important Harry Potter characters' screen time. Luna made her first appearance in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and she plays a minor role in helping them with the final Battle of Hogwarts. Most of her screen time came in that specific movie, but both she and her father play a role in the final battle and Luna ends up as a capable ally. Her role in the books was similar, as she provided something Harry and his friends needed before facing Voldemort.

14 Fred & George Weasley - 19:45 & 20:15 Minutes
\n
\n\n
In some interesting trivia, the twins Fred and George Weasley appeared in the exact to-the-second amount of screen time in the first five movies. This only changed in the last two movies where Fred appeared in exactly 15 seconds more screen time in each of them than his twin brother. There was also the tragedy in the final movie where Fred - despite getting the most screen time by 30 seconds - dies in the Battle of Hogwarts. The books offered the twins more time, and the movies slighted Fred's death by shorting it on the big screen. They also had a nice moment where Harry used his Goblet of Fire money to open their joke shop, something the movies omitted.
\n\n
\n
\n\n\n
13 Sirius Black - 20:45 Minutes
\n
\n\n
Sirius Black is a special case. In both the books and the Harry Potter characters' screen time in the movies, Sirius only showed up in three of them outside of appearances as a ghost for Harry to see. Sirius escaped from Azkaban in the third movie and that was where he most of his screen time as he connected with his godson Harry for the first time. He then played a large role in Order of the Phoenix, where he sacrificed himself in the fight with the Death Eaters to protect Harry. Sirius was a very important part of the story, but in both the book and movie, his time spent in the story was shorter but had greater meaning than almost any other.
\n
\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n
12 Remus Lupin - 24:30 Minutes
\n
\n\n
Remus Lupin was someone who didn't appear until Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The newest Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher appeared in that movie more than anyone but Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and even more than Sirius Black. However, after this, his only other appearances were in the last four movies, and only for a total of under seven minutes. This proved highly disappointing as Lupin was part of the Order of the Phoenix, and the lack of this Harry Potter character's screen time lessened his impact on the Battle of Hogwarts. He died, and the fact he was only in the last movie for less than two minutes made it seem less important than it really was.
\n\n
\n
\n\n\n
11 Neville Longbottom - 28:15 Minutes
\n
\n\n
It might come as a surprise to some that Neville Longbottom ranks near the top for the Harry Potter characters' screen time. However, anyone who read the books knows he is important and many thought he was the real Chosen One over Harry Potter. Indeed, he appeared in over 28 minutes of the franchise, just a little less than McGonagall, and more than all but the most important heroes and villains of the story. Neville appeared in every single movie, although he only had 15 seconds of screen time in Deathly Hallows Part 1. He was also an important part of the final Battle of Hogwarts and deserved his screen time in the movie as he did in the books.
\n
\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n
10 Minerva McGonagall – 28:45 Minutes
\n
\n\n
Minerva McGonagall isn't the most pivotal character in Harry Potter, but her authority and reliability make her a pillar of the franchise. Appearing in seven of eight movies, she racks up 28 minutes and 45 seconds of Harry Potter characters' screen time, with most of her appearances portraying her in a purely academic context. However, the exception is Deathly Hallows Part 2. When the Death Eaters launch their attack on Hogwarts, she steps up to rally the school's statues to defend them all. It would've been nice to see some of her more protective scenes from the book, such as when she has a showdown with Umbridge.
\n
\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n
9 Ginny Weasley – 30:15 Minutes
\n
\n\n
As Harry's love interest – and eventual wife – Ginny held a prominent role in the movies. She played an important part in the Chamber of Secrets, opening the Chamber on Tom Riddle's behalf, and is Harry's rock throughout Half-Blood Prince. However, what's interesting is that Ginny should have appeared for far more than 30 minutes and 15 seconds. Ginny's characterization and storylines run deeper in the books, where she is feistier, funnier, and stronger than her onscreen counterpart. She is the one to talk Harry out of his fears of being possessed in Order of the Phoenix, and fights with her family and Harry to be allowed to take part in the Battle of Hogwarts.
\n\n
\n
\n\n\n
8 Draco Malfoy – 31:45 Minutes
\n
\n\n
Draco Malfoy is Harry's self-proclaimed archenemy, yet only gets 31 minutes and 45 seconds of Harry Potter characters' screen time. While it's still more than most of the characters, it still comes as a great surprise to viewers considering how passionately Harry hates his schoolmate and how much he gets in the way. True, Malfoy is magnificently nasty when he does appear. Actor Tom Felton also acts out his moral dilemma over killing Dumbledore in Half-Blood Prince to perfection. However, some of the pettier, more schoolboy elements of Malfoy's rivalry with Harry get lost in many scenes.
Aside from living forever and establishing pure-blood dominance, Lord Voldemort's greatest mission in life is to kill Harry. The franchise's hero has to contend with his efforts to do all three in every Harry Potter movie (except for Prisoner of Azkaban), totaling 37 minutes and 15 seconds of terrifying Voldemort scenes. Across these appearances, Voldemort is played by five different actors to account for the fact audiences see him at different stages of his life. The escalating level of conflict between him and Harry in the final movies bulk out much of his screen time, as well as the scenes in which Harry and Dumbledore delve into his past in Half-Blood Prince.
\n\n
\n
\n\n\n
6 Severus Snape – 43:15 Minutes
\n
\n\n
Harry has three main enemies – Malfoy, Voldemort, and Snape – but it's the latter who comes out on top in terms of Harry Potter characters' screen time. Appearing in every Harry Potter movie, he spends most of his time bullying Harry and his other students. It's the last three movies that give him enough material for 43 minutes and 15 seconds onscreen. As Snape's complete tragic backstory is unveiled in Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows (Part 2), all of his previous actions are framed in a totally different light. Of all the characters in the movies, Snape is perhaps one of the most accurately adapted, and very few key scenes are omitted.
\n\n
\n
\n\n\n
5 Rubeus Hagrid – 45:45 Minutes
\n
\n\n
Warm, friendly, and loyal, Hagrid is one of the most likable characters in all of Harry Potter. He's one of Harry's best allies and is always on hand for support, which earns him 45 minutes and 45 seconds of Harry Potter characters' screen time. Because he is just so charming, Hagrid's scenes are always heartwarming. Some of them are also powerful – he's the one to carry a baby Harry into the story, and comes full circle when he carries what he thinks is Harry's dead body out of the Forbidden Forest. There are other heartwarming moments that didn't make the movies, but most of these consist of Harry just visiting him in his hut.
\n\n
\n
\n\n\n
4 Albus Dumbledore – 77:15 Minutes
\n
\n\n
A lot of Albus Dumbledore's most impactful actions are made behind the scenes, beyond Harry's realm of awareness. Mysterious as he may be, he still manages to appear for 77 hours and 15 seconds, helping Harry navigate – and ultimately win – the war against Voldemort. He only appears in seven of eight movies, but, like Voldemort, Dumbledore's Harry Potter characters' screen time increases as the stakes get higher. Once Voldemort has returned, Harry has more adult issues to deal with that require Dumbledore's involvement beyond just being his headmaster. Half-Blood Prince is the most Dumbledore-focused of the bunch.
\n
\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n
3 Hermione Granger – 205:00 Minutes
\n
\n\n
Some fans feel like the movies exaggerated Hermione's role in comparison to their portrayal of Ron, yet Hermione spends less time onscreen at 205 minutes. She appears in every movie and is the only reason Harry survives as much trauma as he does. Her intelligence and practicality make her a key part of almost all of Harry's storylines. Harry doesn't spend as much one-on-one time with Ron in the movies as he does in the books, with the trio instead shown as spending most of their social time as a group. However, one explanation for Hermione's slightly lower Harry Potter characters' screen time is that she spends a lot of Chamber of Secrets petrified.
\n\n
\n
\n\n\n
2 Ron Weasley – 211:45 Minutes
\n
\n\n
Ron is Harry's first and best friend, with the pair clicking the second Ron enters his carriage on the Hogwarts Express. From that moment on, they're inseparable – as proved by Ron's 211 minutes and 45 seconds of Harry Potter characters' screen time. This is exactly the attention Ron deserves. A lot of his best moments and personality traits, unfortunately, didn't make the transition from page to screen – and some fans feel that the adaptations cut a lot of his wit, loyalty, and empathy – but his friendship is still critical to Harry in the movies.
\n
\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n
1 Harry Potter – 539:15 Minutes
\n
\n\n
Is it really any surprise that Harry Potter's screen time is more than double the amount of any character? As the Chosen One, the world of Harry Potterquite literally revolves around him. It's his hero arc that forms the structure of all eight movies, ending with his triumph against Lord Voldemort. Condensing the events of over one million words' worth of content into eight movies is nearly impossible. However, nearly all of Harry's important character beats make the cut in his 539 minutes and 15 seconds onscreen. It's tough to single out his biggest moments, but the most gratifying is definitely his final defeat of Lord Voldemort in Deathly Hallows Part 2.
