Why did Emma Watson start acting?

Emma Watson's start in acting wasn't planned. She was a normal schoolgirl when she was chosen to play Hermione Granger in the *Harry Potter* films at the young age of 9. She was attending drama classes and was a confident child, but her career wasn't something she actively pursued.

Here's how it happened:

* Audition for *Harry Potter*: Watson auditioned for the role of Hermione after her drama teacher submitted her name. She went through multiple rounds of auditions and screen tests before landing the role.

* Acting as a natural progression: While initially hesitant to take on the role due to the commitment, she ultimately decided to give it a try. Acting became a natural progression for her, allowing her to explore a world beyond her everyday life.

* Growing up on set: The *Harry Potter* franchise became her world for 10 years. She learned a great deal about acting and filmmaking during this time.

So, it wasn't so much a conscious decision as a fortunate opportunity that led Emma Watson into the world of acting. She was in the right place at the right time, with the right talent and dedication.
