While no character can be perfect, she comes pretty close. She is portrayed as wise beyond her years, always keeping calm and being the voice of reason. Hermione is a strong, intelligent, and progressive female character. People associate Watson with her character because that’s the version of her that they grew up to know. Whether she’d admit it or not, Emma Watson has lived her life as many imagine that Hermione would have.

Hermione doesn’t care what she looks like. She’s a complete tomboy”. 
Since Hermione was so much different from the other celebrities at the time, she offered an ideal role model to young girls. Watson said. “Hermione’s not scared to be clever. I think sometimes really smart girls dumb themselves down a bit, and that’s bad.”]]> 2022-11-11 05:39:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sumin122123/kq01b56h1rjbtvkl/wish/2379765079 Watson reflects on wanting to quit the ‘Harry Potter’ movies; 10 Questions | TIME (2010) sumin122123 https://padlet.com/sumin122123/kq01b56h1rjbtvkl/wish/2379800857 Watson thought she would find it very difficult to watch the movies being made without her being part of them. Because she grew up making them, they’re like part of— being part of that film franchise feels like part of her identity. So she returned to the film,  and she was certainly sure what she had decided was the right decision. Moreover, Watson decided to do the schooling, and she was able to find more freedom in her life, while pursuing her education. ]]> 2022-11-11 06:22:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sumin122123/kq01b56h1rjbtvkl/wish/2379800857 The interview about Emma Watson viewed herself as similar with Hermione (2009) sumin122123 https://padlet.com/sumin122123/kq01b56h1rjbtvkl/wish/2379811068 “I just felt like that part belonged to me,” Watson shared with Interview Magazine. “I know that sounds crazy, but from that first audition, I always knew. At the beginning, they were casting the other characters as well—but I always knew I was going out for Hermione. She came so naturally to me. Maybe so much of myself at the time was similar to her.”]]> 2022-11-11 06:36:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sumin122123/kq01b56h1rjbtvkl/wish/2379811068 Emma Watson: How I learned to love the Hermione in me (2016) sumin122123 https://padlet.com/sumin122123/kq01b56h1rjbtvkl/wish/2379813216 Watson said, "At first I was really trying to say, 'I'm not like Hermione. I'm into fashion and I'm much cooler than she is,' and then I came to a place of acceptance. Actually, we do have a lot in common. There are obviously differences, but there are a lot of ways that I'm very similar. And I stopped fighting that!"
"The character of Hermione gave me permission to be who I was."

The role marked a huge departure from Watson’s usual films. But her differences with the character were actually why Watson felt she had to play her.
“When I read the script and I realised that essentially it was a meditation on fame and what it’s become to our society, I had to do it. The character is everything that I felt really strongly against – she’s superficial, materialistic, vain, amoral. She’s all of these things, and I realised that I really hated her,” she added. “How do you play someone that you hate? But I found it really interesting and it gave me a whole new insight into what my job, or my role as an actress, could be.”
She was confident in what she was doing and recognised what can she get for it. ]]> 2022-11-11 08:33:01 UTC https://padlet.com/sumin122123/kq01b56h1rjbtvkl/wish/2379913486 Independent and self-conviction women sumin122123 https://padlet.com/sumin122123/kq01b56h1rjbtvkl/wish/2379917456 Emma Watson was independent of all other factors and also certainly knew what she wanted to do, what impact does it take]]> 2022-11-11 08:37:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sumin122123/kq01b56h1rjbtvkl/wish/2379917456 Celebrity Feminism sumin122123 https://padlet.com/sumin122123/kq01b56h1rjbtvkl/wish/2379935789 Watson has leveraged their high profile status to bring women's rights issues to the public eye.

Women Goodwill Ambassador by the United Nations, a program that actively involves prominent personalities in the fields of arts and sports to promote U.N. programs. Her role is to serve as an advocate for U.N. Women's gender equality campaign known as HeForShe. HeForShe is a program dedicated to improving the status of women and inviting men and boys around the world to stand in solidarity with women and girls as they make that make gender equality a reality.

The speech at the United Nations was part of her official role as U.N. Women Goodwill Ambassador. In her moving speech, Emma Watson brought attention to the unfortunate reality that “feminisim” is too often associated with “man hating,” effectively halting the progression of achieving gender equality.

Watson is potentially in an even better position than many of her peers to do so. Her role as Hermione Granger, the universally adored heroine of the Harry Potter series, gives her an automatic in with male and female millenials. This is a rare case where an actor being conflated with their role might be a good thing. In this way, her widespread influence on young minds (still forming their opinions on gender roles and advocacy) is even stronger than other high-profile defenders of the F-word like Beyoncé.]]> 2022-11-11 09:22:19 UTC https://padlet.com/sumin122123/kq01b56h1rjbtvkl/wish/2379957083 Emma Watson?

Bloomers were created and Belle’s first pair of riding boots. “The original sketches had her in her ballet shoes,” Watson says, “which are lovely—don’t get me wrong—but she’s not going to be able to do anything terribly useful in ballet shoes in the middle of a French provincial village.”]]> 2022-11-11 09:47:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sumin122123/kq01b56h1rjbtvkl/wish/2379980358 Ellis (1992, p. 614) defines a star as “a performer in a particular medium whose figure enters into subsidiary forms of circulation, and then feeds back into future performances”. sumin122123 https://padlet.com/sumin122123/kq01b56h1rjbtvkl/wish/2380213025 2022-11-11 13:47:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sumin122123/kq01b56h1rjbtvkl/wish/2380213025 sumin122123 https://padlet.com/sumin122123/kq01b56h1rjbtvkl/wish/2380214478 Edgar Morin, in Les Stars (1957), noted that the star is incarnated in the characters of his or her films but also transcends them (Morin 2005:26).
