Emma Watson [1]'s first taste of fame came with the movie release of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone [2] in 2001. Nearly two decades later, the actress transformed into a whole new woman apart from the cute girl who won our hearts as Hermione Granger. She's grown into a dignified, well-spoken [3], and smart woman who has used her fame to bring light to causes she believes in and help those around her. Emma's sophistication [4] and timelessness have only made our hearts grow fonder of her, and seeing her amazing accomplishments so far is just as exciting as it is rewarding. From star-studded appearances on the red carpet [5] to gender equality meetings at the Élysée Palace, we can't seem keep our eyes off this impressive woman. Take a look back at Emma Watson's life in the spotlight ahead!
