Personal life of Emma Watson

Emma Watson's extended family has grown as her divorced parents both have children by new partners. Her father has identical twin girls, Nina and Lucy, and a four-year old son, Toby. Her mother's partner has two sons (Emma's step-brothers), who "regularly stay with [her]". Emma Watson's full brother, Alexander, has appeared as an extra in two Harry Potter films, and her half-sisters were cast as the young Pauline Fossil in the BBC's Ballet Shoes adaptation.

After moving to Oxford with her mother and brother, Emma Watson attended The Dragon School, a private preparatory school, until June 2003 and then moved to Headington School, an private all-girl school, also in Oxford. While on film sets, Emma Watson and her peers were tutored for up to five hours a day; despite the focus on filming she maintained high academic standards. In June 2006, Watson took GCSE examinations in 10 subjects, achieving eight A* and two A grades; she was a target of friendly ridicule on the Harry Potter set because of her straight-A exam results. The following year she received four A grades in her AS levels (advanced level examinations) in English, geography, art, and history of art.

Emma Watson's work in the Harry Potter series has brought her more than £10 million, and she has acknowledged she will never have to work for money. However, she has declined to quit school to become a full-time actress, saying "People can’t understand why I don’t want to ... but school life keeps me in touch with my friends. It keeps me in touch with reality". She has been positive about working as a child actress, saying her parents and colleagues helped make her experience happy. Watson enjoys a close friendship with her fellow Harry Potter stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint, describing them as a "unique support system" for the stresses of film work.

Emma Watson lists her interests as dancing, singing, field hockey, tennis and art, and describes herself as "a bit of a feminist". She admires fellow actors Johnny Depp and Julia Roberts.

Watson Has No Time for Boyfriends

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire star Emma Watson is disappointed her busy acting career is an obstacle to finding love, because she doesn't have time for a boyfriend. The 15-year-old has spent the past few years hard at work on her movie series, which has left her with little time to enjoy the company of boys. She says, "This is my life: I live two hours from (the Harry Potter studios), in Oxford, so I get up at six in the morning and I'm gone until nine at night, and I do this for eleven months of the year. And, if I'm not here, I'm back at school trying to catch up on all the work I've missed, playing on all the teams I can get myself onto, and I'm trying to see my family and friends. So boys come pretty low down the list." She adds of her career, "It's restricting. Long hours. I miss my family a lot. But if I had the chance to do it again, in a million years I would always say yes. I'm so lucky."
