After starring in the billion-dollar franchise - which she did from age 11 to 21 - Watson attended Brown University and graduated in 2014 with a bachelor's in English literature.

Since graduating, Watson has continued to promote education - and reading - through her role as a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, which she took on in 2014, according to UN.org.
