Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Watson’s work on the Harry Potter series has earned her several awards and more than £10 million. She made her modelling debut for Burberry’s Autumn/Winter campaign in 2009.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince premiered on 15 July 2009, having been controversially delayed from November 2008. With the lead actors now in their late teens, critics were increasingly willing to review them on the same level as the rest of the film’s all-star cast, which the Los Angeles Times described as “a comprehensive guide to contemporary UK acting”. The Washington Post felt Watson to have given ” most charming performance to date”, while The Daily Telegraph described the lead actors as “newly-liberated and energized, eager to give all they have to what’s left of the series”.

Watson’s filming for the final installment of the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, began on 18 February 2009. For financial and scripting reasons, the original book has been divided into two films which will be shot back to back. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows parts 1 and 2 are scheduled for release in November 2010 and July 2011 respectively.
Watson worked as a ‘creative advisor’ for People Tree to create a spring line of clothing, which was released in February 2010; the range featured styles inspired by southern France and the City of London. The collection, described by The Times as “very clever” despite their “quiet hope that would become tangled at the first hemp-woven hurdle”, was widely publicised in tabloids such as You magazine, Heat Magazine, Teen Vogue, Cosmopolitan, and People. Watson, who was not paid for the collaboration, admitted that competition for the range was minimal, but argued that “Fashion is a great way to empower people and give them skills; rather than give cash to charity you can help people by buying the clothes they make and supporting things they take pride in”; adding, “I think young people like me are becoming increasingly aware of the humanitarian issues surrounding fast fashion and want to make good choices but there aren’t many options out there.”
