Emma Watson first stole everyone's hearts at a young age when she brought Hermione Granger to the big screen, but she's certainly had her fair share of roles since then. As an adult, she's shown fans how versatile and talented she is - as well as how she'll literally always be relevant.
From the magical world of Harry Potter to the chilling dystopia of The Circle to the fantasy land of Beauty and the Beast, Watson has movies that are dark and some that are light-hearted and mystical. It's time to celebrate the most iconic roles of her career and her impressive range.
10 Angela Gray (Regression, 2015)
Emma Watson definitely dabbled in some dark thrillers in 2015, and Regression is no exception. With Ethan Hawke, these two play a detective and a psychoanalyst investigating a satanic cult and a woman's past.
Anything with a cult is likely going to be dark, and this movie fits the bill. For a crime drama with Emma Watson, this flick is definitely a good one to check out.
9 Lena (Colonia, 2015)
Colonia is a hidden gem and biography drama starring Emma Watson as Lena. She plays a young woman that is searching for her boyfriend during the Chilean military coup in 1973.
She becomes mixed with a preacher and 'The Colonia', a cult that nobody has escaped from, but where she must be to find her boyfriend. Based on true events, this chilling and dramatic tale is definitely one of Watson's darkest and most mature role yet.
8 Mae (The Circle, 2017)
This sci-fi thriller is a bit underwhelming, but it's certainly enough to be talked about with Tom Hanks, Emma Watson, and John Boyega at the forefront. The 'Circle' is a tech and social media company that is seeking to push the boundaries of privacy.
The Circle is relevant and thought-provoking and is definitely a role about privacy, surveillance, and ethics. It turns into a dark and intriguing drama.
7 Sam (The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, 2012)
After Harry Potter, this was the next big thing for Emma Watson and the beginning of a more mature career. Starring alongside Logan Lerman and Ezra Miller, this movie centers on the tragic, raw, and pure tale of a shy teen in high school.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a fan favorite teen drama, directed and written by Stephen Chbosky (and based on the book). It's mystical and depressing, but it also has a magical feel that separates it from being totally dark.
6 Emma Watson (This Is The End, 2013)
This is the End is a more minor role of Emma Watson's, but it's pretty hard to ignore or to forget. This comedy has the hilarious crew of James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Michael Cera, and Danny McBride.
The world is ending, and naturally, this crew is saved by Emma Watson (as herself) with an ax. She does what she must to survive during an apocalypse, and this is one of the funniest and coolest roles she's ever played.
5 Ila (Noah, 2014)
This adventure drama is directed by the brilliant Darren Aronofsky and stars Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, Anthony Hopkins, Logan Lerman, and Emma Watson. It tells the story of Noah's mission to save animals before the flood.
While it doesn't have the best critical reviews, this star-studded cast is hard to ignore, and Noah was Watson's biggest blockbuster since she left the school of Hogwarts.
4 Meg March (Little Women, 2020)
Little Women brought one of the most classic tales back to the big screen, and this time directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Saoirse Ronan, Timothée Chalamet, Laura Dern, Florence Pugh, and Emma Watson.
Watson is Meg, and it's a role that seems like it was written just for her. This movie is magical, romantic, heart-wrenching, and soul-filling. It's one film that will always have a special place in all fans' hearts.
3 Princess Pea (The Tale Of Despereaux, 2008)
This animated family comedy was a 2008 hit and was right in the middle of Emma Watson's decade as Hermione Granger. She voices Princess Pea and is joined by Dustin Hoffman, Matthew Broderick, and Stanley Tucci.
The Tale of Despereaux is an uplifting and adventurous story of a mouse trying to restore happiness in a kingdom. Of course, it's totally fun and completely magical.
2 Belle (Beauty And The Beast, 2017)
There is hardly anything more magical than a live-action Disney flick, and fans could barely contain themselves when Emma Watson was announced to play Belle.
Beauty and the Beast is the classic musical tale fans everywhere love, with a stellar cast and mesmerizing visual effects. This movie is certainly magical, and Watson will always be iconic in the golden gown as Belle.
1 Hermione Granger (Harry Potter, 2001-2011)
Fans had a whole decade to get to know and love Emma Watson, and there is certainly no Emma Watson without this magical franchise. She was the perfect Hermione Granger, and she always will be.
Harry Potter is quite literally as magical as it gets, and this family classic has eight installments of pure entertainment. One of the best series out there today, Emma Watson definitely deserves thanks for it.
