Emma Watson – Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

It’s one thing for a child actor to win the part of an original fictional role, but it's an entirely different situation if that role belongs to an established franchise character. That a young Emma Watson in her first acting role was able to make the role of Hermione Granger her own in the Harry Potter franchise speaks volumes of her innate ability as an actress. Much like her co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint, you'd be hard pressed to separate Ms. Watson from Hermione, simply because she made the role so iconic with her performances over the course of 10 years, but it all started with her debut in The Sorcerer’s Stone.
