Emma Watson - Reviews from Chamber of Secrets era
Steve Rhodes internet reviews
but it falls to Emma Watson to again, as Hermione
Granger, steal the show. She's a real charmer whose
entire film career consists of nothing but the POTTER
films. Why other producers don't snatch her up for their
movies is a real mystery.
Film hobbit:
This is especially evident in comparison to
his two companions, Hermione and Ron, both of whom come
off as easily more movie-worthy than the saccharinely
bland figure of Harry Potter. Can we all just stop a
moment and marvel at how much little Emma Watson LEAPS
off the screen? So often child actors are simply automatons
that go where they're pointed. But both Watson, and
Rubert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley are electric! Watching
them grow just from one film to the next has already
been a joy. If nothing else, I look forward to the next
Potter installment just to see what those two become.
Jason Sanford reviews
Watson is adorably wise beyond her years as
the brainy, take-charge Hermione, whose self-confidence
takes a severe hit when she's branded a "mudblood"
by smarmy fellow student Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) because
of her questionable parentage.

Emma Watson's Hermione walks the tightrope
between endearing and infuriating with considerable
skill,
Bbci reviews:
The one exception is Emma Watson, who captures
know-it-all Hermione's character perfectly.
Aicn reviews:
Emma Watson likewise reprises her role of book-smart
Hermione Granger with great ease... And damn if she
isn't growing up. Mark my words, by the time Goblet
of Fire is shooting, she'll be illegally lusted after
with a fervor close to that which surrounded Natalie
Portman in the time between LEON and THE PHANTOM MENACE.

and Emma Watson, as the brilliant Hermione
Granger, has lost none of her charm.
Denton record chronicle:
But everyone plays second banana to the kids
and, again, they perform their duties well, with special
notice given to Emma Watson as Hermione Granger. She
possesses a diction far beyond her years, giving her
scenes, and the film, a needed sparkle.
Houston community newspapers:
And Emma Watson's character, who's turning
into a first class babe, appears to be developing a
budding love interest with Harry
Sp times.com:
Emma Watson makes the best case among the young
actors for having a career beyond the Potter series
as Hermione Granger, a solid role model for girls in
a mostly male fantasy.
Gomephis.com:
Emma Watson, as Hermoine, is quite a beauty
and knows how to use the flash of her gorgeous eyes.
2fm entertainment:
Of the children, Emma Watson is the one that
shines, promising a career far beyond the confines of
Hogwarts School.
Guardian online:
Watson is much more believable in her role
as Hermione compared to their characters in the first
film. In one particular scene, Watson is especially
commendable in portraying Hermione's distress and hurt
when her red, watery eyes evoke sniffles from even the
hardest of hearts.
Guide live.com:
Emma Watson also makes the self-contained Hermione
Granger more accessible this time out. (Truth be told,
the onscreen Hermione is a tad more winsome than the
character described in J.K. Rowling's novels.)

cute as a button Emma Watson maintains the
mature charm she displayed in the original

Miss Watson in particular beginning to suggest
the elements of a capable screen star

If you were to choose the best of the three,
it would have to be Watson. She has a few truly outstanding
moments, especially in her tender scene with Hagrid
(the always good Robbie Coltrane) who tells her being
Muggle-born has nothing to do with being a great witch
Wibc.com :
Emma Watson is the sharpest of the three with
her going beyond what is required in her role. A particular
part of the movie that stood out was the sub-plot behind
her family (which I will not spoil).
Nl.com:
Watching Emma Watson tear up at the insult,
the hurt and shock written plainly on her face, makes
for sheer pleasure in the A+ quality acting; hold on
to your hats, people, this little girl is definitely
going places.
Orion online:
Watson infuses Hermione with so much pluck
and intelligence she proves to be the lovely, steadfast
backbone of the group
Iofilm.co.uk:
Watson has gained in confidence and is too
attractive to be a knowall - an annoying one, anyway.
Tech mit:
Watson's portrayal of Hermione is far more
notable, however. Possibly her finest moment is when
she faces off against Draco Malfoy after he calls her
a Mudblood (the most offensive slur for a Muggle). Moments
later in Hagrid's hut, she is on the verge of bursting
into tears; it is without doubt a touching moment
Reel reviews:
Emma Watson, who plays Hermione Granger, keeps
getting better. She is heartbreaking and sweet in turns
as she becomes the victim of some terrible slurrs and
hormones begin to make themselves evident in very subtle
ways. I thought Chris Columbus and Steve Kloves did
a wonderful job of hinting at the slight sexual tension
mixed with genuine friendship here.
Low country now.com:
His best friends, Ron and Hermione, also turn
in outstanding turns. One thing that worries me is how
they are going to keep Watson from becoming too much
of a babe by the time the third and fourth films arrive.
Cinema online:
Behind every man there is a sucessful woman...and
true that is, very true! The woman in Harry Potter and
the Chamber of Secrets simply glow in radiance. Emma
Watson, reprises her role Hermione, the know-it-all!
She deliveres a flawless performance in the second movie.
This time around as the academic nerd, the lovestruck
little girl, the poor hurt soul and as the fun Hermione
she has always been! When they all go to Hagrid's hut
after the 'Mudblood' scene, we get to see the senstive
side of Hermione that will touch your heart (touched
mine)!
Physics.mun:
Watson has the smallest role of the three in
this installment, but she nevertheless continues to
offer the strongest performance.
The flat hat.com:
Watson is coming into her own, although flagrantly
disobeying the book's mandate that Hermione is a homely
bookworm, not an about-to-inspire-impure-fantasies-in-older-men
bookworm.
Crazy4cinema.com:
Though her screen time is somewhat limited,
Watson breathes real intelligence and gumption into
Hermione, making her a true stand out
