Emma Watson's Magical Milestone: A Blast from the Past

Growing Up on Screen
By the time 'The Prisoner of Azkaban' rolled around, Emma was a seasoned Hogwarts student herself - at least, in character. In real life, she was a tween, navigating the tricky waters of early adolescence while also navigating the halls of Hogwarts.
When 'The Prisoner of Azkaban' was released, Emma was just 14 years old. She was the same age as her character, Hermione, which is pretty remarkable when you think about it. It's like they grew up together!
