_________________________________________

5 Reasons we LOVE Emma Watson

4. She likes playing field hockey, tennis, skiing, painting, cooking, singing and dancing.
5.   Emma asks her fans not to send her any birthday or Christmas presents, but to donate to UNICEF instead.

How could you not admire Hermione with her courage and braveness and not to mention how she held her own next to Harry and Ron! Although, Emma Watson has finished her run as Hermione we continue to be inspired by Emma. Not only is she a talented and beautiful young women but she has made her own path through Hollywood. Unlike many other child breakout stars (we all hear a bit TOO much about Lindsay Lohan and Miley Cyrus) Emma has really followed through with living a “normal life” as much as possible!

                          And these inspiring quotes definitely help us adore Emma even more: 

“I don't have perfect teeth, I'm not stick thin. I want to be the person who feels great in her body and can say that she loves it and doesn't want to change anything.”

“If I do a photo-shoot, people desperately want to change me - dye my hair blonder, pluck my eyebrows, give me a fringe. Then there's the choice of clothes. I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt. But that's not me.”
