   Fine young actress who grew up in an acting family which was great   
   advantage. Never cornered into a single role, another great advantage.   
   Never had to attend and pass on merit high level prep and an Ivy   
   League school. Emma-->Hermione which goes back around to she hasn't   
   really had a chance to diversify.   
      
   Which is the key for a female's success, without diversification and   
   the talent required, you're a going to have a helluva time.   
      
   Back to CS, she was brooding around Memphis from the late 70s to early   
   80s pretty much failing at everything because she had no formal acting   
   base and, frankly, she wasn't very talented. Moonlighting TX series   
   remade her when she dropped the heavy, dramatic parts for light   
   comedy. Bingo - diversification.   
      
   All I am saying about Watson is give her piece a chance. lol She will   
   diversify or fail.

   That's not true and you know it. DHI required a much broader range of   
   expression (despair, dark unhappiness, anger, bitterness,...) much   
   less she had to grow Hermione into the beginnings of an adult.

   Oh, my bad. I found the books right crappy, I am listening to the   
   audiobooks myself. Jesus, I sure wish Tyler could find more than one   
   female voice, his Hermione is a joke.

   Well, jury still out on his film and stage career, I'll give him the   
   same rope I give Emma.   
      
   You see, I am all in for female actors after getting an up close and   
   personal view (bridegroom and wife a bridesmaid at CS wedding fiasco),   
   it's a tough row to hoe.
