Emma Watson’s Transformation

image Emma Watson doesn't balk at having spent ten years made up as the freckled and frumpy Hermione Granger. "I really use the discomfort, the itchiness, the backcombed hair to get into character," she has said. Even when it comes to her glamour moments—the 19-year-old has become a front row regular at Chanel and is now the face of Burberry—she is strictly pragmatic. "I guess it's helpful for me to be seen away from Harry Potter," Watson has said. "You know: 'she can look different, she is older, she could be cast in other roles.'" The soon-to-be college freshman has pledged to live a normal dorm life, but with three more Potter films to come (including this month's Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince), we are guaranteed to see more of this reluctant English rose on the red carpet. And, lucky for Watson, there will be no extra freckles necessary.

2007: The sleek-looking Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix lead had a mature take on her future career: "The next things we do will prove whether we're made for this business, and whether we really can act."

image 2008: The 18-year-old lent her voice to Princess Pea in Tale of Despereaux and graduated to dramatic black liner.

image 2009: After Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Princepremieres in June, Watson will attend an as-yet undisclosed college where, she has said: "I want to forget about hair and makeup."
