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][3] Watson has said she speaks some French, though "not as well" as she used to.[4] 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,[5] and trained at the Oxford branch of Stagecoach Theatre Arts, a part-time theatre school where she studied singing, dancing, and acting.[6]

By age ten, Watson had performed in Stagecoach productions and school plays including Arthur: The Young Years and The Happy Prince,[7] but she had never acted professionally prior to the Harry Potter series.
