We're pretty sure Hermione Granger is fluent in everything from Old Latin to Pig Latin, but what about Emma Watson? The 21-year-old actress was actually born in Paris, where she lived until the age of 5, when her parents divorced. Emma developed her adorable British accent when she moved to Oxford with her mother shortly after the split. The fashion-forward starlet has recently returned to her French roots, appearing as the new face of Lancome's Trésor line.

Harry Potter franchise star Emma Watson receives mostly positive attention from the media in her post-Harry career, but there was a time when she had to weather a storm of greater heft than Voldemort: the implications of her pixie haircut.
Emma tells The Independent, "I had journalists asking me if this meant I was coming out, if I was a lesbian now."
Like so many stars before her who caused global outrage due to a shorter ‘do (Jennifer Aniston’s decision to chop off “The Rachel”; Felicity’s infamous haircut debacle), Emma says that she was fully aware of all the criticism.
Sounding far more mature than her 21 years, she simply rolls her eyes these days and takes ownership of her independent aesthetic: “All I can do is follow my instincts, because I'll never please everyone."
Emma, just like Hermione, is one whip-smart young lady.
