Emma Watson: All You Need To Know About The British Belle

Emma Watson first entered the public arena as Hermione Granger in the 2001 screen adaptation of J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone. But if you've heard of her, chances are, you know that already.

Appearing in all eight Harry Potter films, Watson went from unknown 11-year-old schoolgirl to child superstar over night.

Since then, she has gone on to star in such films as The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, achieved a BA in English Literature from Brown University, and last year, was appointed a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador.

Here, we look back at all that she has achieved thus far, on boyfriends past (and possibly present), and check out her best style moments on the red carpet to date.

Three fun facts:

1.) She auditioned eight times for Harry Potter, but J.K. Rowling liked her from her first screen test.

2.) During the filming of Harry Potter, she had a crush on Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy. 'I had a really terrible crush on Tom Felton, to the extent that I would go into work in the morning and look down the numbers on the call sheet to see if he was going to be in,' she told Jonathan Ross. 'We love a bad guy, he was a few years older and he had a skateboard - and that just did it really.'

3.) She loves spreading Nutella on strawberries.

Romantic Relationships

With Will Adamowicz...

During her first year at university – where she took a semester out from Brown and transferred to Oxford university – Emma started dating fellow Oxford student, Will Adamowicz.

The pair were first seen together in 2012 at Coachella Festival in April, where they were snapped kissing.

Their romance lasted until summer 2013 when it was reported they had broken up and were no longer in touch. Emma's reps confirmed the split to *The Mirror *in January 2014.

With Matt Janney...

Their romance allegedly started in early 2014; she, a 23-year-old actress, he, a 21-year-old rugby player and fellow Oxford student.

According to E!Online they began dating after he played in an annual rugby match between Oxford and Cambridge at Twickenham Stadium in December 2o13. Emma was spotted in the stands, watching on as Janney's team achieved a 33-15 victory. She attended the post-match party at Ping bar in Earls' Court.

They dated until later that year where it has been reported they called it quits, owing to Emma's hectic work schedule. Although the split was amicable, in an interview with Vogue this year, Emma referred to the break-up as 'horrendous'.

It was misreported that she checked-in to a silent retreat in Canada to get over her heartache, when actually she checked-in beforehand, unconnected to the split. "I felt really uncomfortable," she said of it. "'Even before my relationship ended, I went on a silent retreat, because I really wanted to figure out how to be at home with myself.'

With Roberto Aguire...

As we reported earlier last year, Emma was photographed with former Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire co-star Roberto Aguire. The couple were seen having lunch in October, which set the rumour mill into overdrive as it was suggested they had become an item.

The pair have been friends for years. Indeed, of how the two met, Roberto said this:

'I was doing an internship in the special effects department at the time. And one day we had a chance encounter that led to us spending half a day together exchanging stories and dance moves. We never really lost touch after that and now she's one of my best friends.'

Whether they remained 'best friends' or something more, remained to be seen.

With William 'Mack' Knight

He's a 35-year-old tech manager and she's a 25-year-old actress – but rumour has it, they're dating...

As Eonline reported, the couple recently spent a week together in the Big Sur region in California, where they were spotted at the Post Ranch Inn and also at the Big Sur Bakery whilst sharing a wood-fired pizza.

The couple were first spotted together last October; Knight was snapped exiting the Richard Rogers Theatre with Watson, following a performance of Hamilton.

Just good friends - or something more? We're watching this space with interest...

**Her Style File **

It is with great pleasure that we have watched the style of Emma Watson develop over the years. What a journey it's been thus far...

Christopher Bailey signed her for her first Burberry campaign for the AW09 collection and she went on to star in their SS10 campaign too, alongside her brother, Alex.

She has collaborated on designs with People Treet and Alberta Ferretti, and signed up as a brand ambassador for Lancôme in 2011.

Chanel is her go-to brand for the red carpet, but she has also supported a number of British designers too, including Christopher Kane, Peter Pilotto and Erdem.
