Emma Watson – 10 Best Movies

By Vlad Zakh · May 13, 2026

The two Harry Potter entries are unavoidable, but The Perks of Being a Wallflower proved Emma Watson could carry something outside the franchise, and Little Women shows a filmography more selective than most former child stars manage. Colonia infiltrates a cult compound in Pinochet-era Chile, This Is the End is a self-aware cameo during the apocalypse, Regression puts her in a 1990s satanic-panic mystery, and Noah gives her an adopted daughter facing her father’s divine mission. The Bling Ring and Beauty and the Beast round out the list.
