Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson was born in Oxfordshire, England on April 15, 1990. At school, she took the lead role in several plays, including 'Arthur: The Young Years' and 'The Happy Prince'. Along with plays, Emma participated in many other school productions, including the Daisy Pratt Poetry Competition, in which she won first place for her year at age seven. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001), is Emma's debut into the world of professional acting. Competing against many other girls for the role of Hermione Granger, she didn't expect to get the part.

Away from the cinematic world, Emma enjoys playing hockey most of all, and she also likes debating. Although her hair is brown in the movie, she's naturally a blonde. She once dressed up as a witch for Halloween, but she had no idea that years later, she would be playing one in the Harry Potter movie. Her parents, Jacqueline and Chris, who are lawyers, are divorced. Emma lives with her mother and younger brother Alex. Her role models are Julia Roberts, Goldie Hawn, John Cleese and Sandra Bullock.

Rupert Michael Grint was born on August 24, 1988 in Hertfordshire, England, UK. Although only acting in one school play before being cast in the popular wizard series, "Harry Potter", Rupert has already proved himself one of the most recognized actors on the big screen. When he heard that there was going to be auditions for "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", he decided to go for it.

Unlike the other children who were auditioning, Rupert came in with a rap that promoted the character he was auditioning for, Ronald Weasley, and was chosen soon afterwards. 'Sorcerer's Stone' was a big hit, as was the follow-up, 'Chamber of Secrets', and he has already filmed episode three, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), which was released on Friday, June 4, 2004. He is currently filming the fourth movie, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005).
