They are the two lovely actresses from two blockbuster movie series: Harry Potter and The Twilight Saga.
Goodbye Harry Potter, as “Ron” and “Hermione” embark on a new film, Kristen Stewart officially becomes Snow White, while Emma Watson will be the new beauty of the Beast?!
We are all familiar with Emma Watson as the young witch Hermione in the Harry Potter series, and Kristen Stewart as Bella in The Twilight Saga. However, today, let’s explore the roles you may not know these two talented actresses have portrayed.
First up is Emma Watson, who has been associated with the role of Hermione for all 7 parts of the Harry Potter series. The studious Emma is quite modest about the number of films she has been involved in, and it seems the shadow of Hermione is still too large to overcome. Up to now, aside from Harry Potter, Emma has only appeared in 2 other films: Ballet Shoes and The Tale of Despereaux.

In 2007, Emma starred in the BBC film “Ballet Shoes”. The movie tells the story of three orphaned girls (Pauline, Petrova, and Posy) who are adopted by the eccentric scientist Gum and raised as sisters. After the scientist passes away, they struggle to pursue their own dreams in the face of adversity. In the film, Emma plays Pauline, who dreams of becoming an actress. Pauline has acting talent and lands the role of Alice in Alice in Wonderland. However, her arrogance blinds her to the needs of her sisters, causing harm to their relationship. Eventually, Pauline learns a valuable lesson from her mistakes.

Emma Watson as Pauline
Emma’s portrayal as Pauline has been praised by director Sandra Goldbacher for her “sharp, elegant, and graceful beauty that makes people want to keep looking.” This is why the director believed Emma was the perfect fit for the role of Pauline. Fans of Emma should not miss seeing their idol’s transformation in The Ballet Shoes.

In 2008, Emma lent her voice to the animated film The Tale of Despereaux alongside renowned actors like Mathew Broderick and Dustin Hoffman. In the movie, Emma voiced the character of Princess Pea, who always longed to escape the castle and the quiet life that enveloped her since the queen’s death. The climax of the story unfolds when Princess Pea is kidnapped by the rats and is rescued by the brave mouse Despereux.

Emma is in the film studio
Born in the same year as Emma, young actress Kristen Steward, born in 1990, has successfully taken on various lead roles with unique, rebellious, and quirky characters. Her schedule in 2011 and 2012 was packed with films such as Snow White and Huntsman, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, and On the Road. Kristen started receiving lead role offers in 2004, beginning with Panic Room, where she starred alongside the famous actress Jodie Foster. In the film, Kristen portrayed a fragile daughter with asthma, and both mother and daughter become prisoners when they encounter three intruders. From this point on, Steward began to attract attention from directors and producers, leading to her being nominated for Outstanding Young Actress for this role.

Kristen Stewart and Jodie Foster starred in the film “Panic Room” back in 2004.

Building on her success, Kristen has continued to showcase her acting talents in numerous films such as Cold Creek Manor, Catch That Kid, Undertow, and Speak.

Recognize the girl in the picture in Undertow? That’s Kristen, taking on the role of Melinda Sordino in Speak. Playing a young girl suffering psychological trauma after being humiliated at a party, Kristen’s performance delves into the mysterious and aloof demeanor of Melinda. Despite limited dialogue, Stewart still manages to convey the character’s depth throughout the film. This is a great suggestion for Kristen fans looking to explore their idol’s acting abilities further.
