EMMA WATSON VIDEO....
Career:
Harry Potter-
In 1999, casting began for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
(known as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in the United States),
the film adaptation of British author J. K. Rowling's bestselling novel.
Of importance to the casting directors were the lead role of Harry Potter and
the two supporting roles of Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, Harry's two friends.
Casting agents found Watson through her Oxford theatre teacher,[9] and producers were
impressed by her confidence. After eight auditions, producer David Heyman told Watson and
fellow applicants Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint that they had been cast, respectively,
as Hermione Granger, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. Rowling supported Watson from her first
screen test.
Work outside Harry Potter
Watson's first non-Harry Potter role was in the 2007 TV film Ballet Shoes, as Pauline
Fossil. She said of the project, "I was all set to go back to school after finishing
Harry Potter [and the Order of the Phoenix] but couldn't resist
Ballet Shoes. I really loved it". A BBC adaptation of Noel Streatfeild's novel of
the same name, the film stars Watson as aspiring actress Pauline Fossil, the eldest of
three sisters around whom the story revolves.[36] Director Sandra Goldbacher commented,
"Emma was perfect for Pauline ... She has a piercing, delicate aura that makes you want
to gaze and gaze at her"Ballet Shoes was broadcast on Boxing Day in the United
Kingdom, to an estimated audience of 5.2 million (22 percent of the viewing total).
The film received generally poor critical reviews, and The Times described it as
"progress with little emotional investment, or magic, or dramatic momentum"
However, the performances of its cast were generally praised; The Daily Telegraph wrote
the film "was certainly well done, not least because it confirmed how good child actors
are these days".
Watson starred in the animated film The Tale of Despereaux, released in December 2008.
She voiced the character of Princess Pea in the film, a children's comedy which also
starred Matthew Broderick and Tracey Ullman.
