Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson (born 15 April 1990)[1] is an English actress and activist. She has gained recognition for her roles in both blockbusters and independent films, as well as her women's rights work. Watson has been ranked among the world's highest-paid actresses by Forbes and Vanity Fair, and was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine in 2015.[2][3] Watson lived in Maisons-Laffitte near Paris until age five. Her parents divorced when she was young, and Watson moved to England to live with her mother in Oxfordshire while spending weekends at her father's house in London.[1][4] Watson has said she speaks some French, though "not as well" as she used to.[5] After moving to Oxford with her mother and brother, she attended the Dragon School, remaining there until 2003.[1] From age six, she wanted to become an actress,[6] and trained at the Oxford branch of Stagecoach Theatre Arts, a part-time theatre school where she studied singing, dancing, and acting.[7]

By age ten, Watson had performed in Stagecoach productions and school plays including Arthur: The Young Years and The Happy Prince,[8] but she had never acted professionally prior to the Harry Potter series. After the Dragon School, Watson moved on to Headington School, Oxford.[1] While on film sets, she and her castmates were tutored for up to five hours a day.[9] In June 2006, she took GCSE school examinations in ten subjects, achieving eight A* and two A grades. In May 2007, she took AS levels in English, Geography, Art, and History of Art. The following year, she dropped History of Art to pursue the three A levels, receiving an A grade in each subject.[1][10][11]

Watson took a gap year after finishing secondary school,[12] to film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Parts 1 & 2 beginning in February 2009,[13] but asserted that she intended to continue her studies[14] and later confirmed she had chosen Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.[15] In March 2011, after 18 months at the university, Watson announced she was deferring her course for "a semester or two",<ref name="emma-defer">{{cite web |url=http://www.emmawatson.com/en/Late
