    Say, she was american or Australian born, would she still be so popular globally? How big of factor does her english background play in her successful acting career and celebrity status?

    If it wasn't for HP, none of us would give any consideration to her.

    The question you need to be asking is 'Would Emma Watson still be as popular if she wasn't.......so God Damned cute?'

    I really don't understand the the meaning behind the question. Who the hell cares where someone is from. She's talented, beautiful, and graceful and would be in the spotlight no matter what. IE: Charlize Theron is from S.Africa and as elegant a woman as any. Shit comes in all nationalities, as do brilliant creatures.

    Emma is popular because of Harry Potter, not where she is from.

    If Emma wasn't an English actress, she wouldn't be Emma Watson.

    Would Angelina Jolie still be a Phun favorite if she were a 78-year-old man with no teeth? Would Scarlett Johansson still be a superstar if she were a milkmaid from Tierra del Fuego?

    actually, she born in France :twak:

    anyway the question applies almost for everything

    would Obama still be president in another country?
    would Messi still be a footballer if he wasn't argentinian?
    would god still be god if the bible didn't exist?

    The Man in the High Castle.
    It's one great novel by Philip K. Dick. Does anyone ever read it?

    Agreed. Mainstream audience love cute girls with a British accent.

    To answer OP's question, No I don't think she'd be as popular, certainly not outside US. (See - Nina Dobrev, cute chick but no global appeal.)

    I have thought about this for years. I agree. She would still be popular in England. But not else where. English accents makes any girl at least 50 percent hotter no matter what they look like.

    So tell me, what accent are you talking about?

    Upper Class West London?
    East/South London Cockney?
    Essex?
    Brummie?
    West Country?
    East Anglian?
    Scouse?
    Geordie?
    Manc?
    Lancashire?
    Yorkshire?
    Cornish?
    Home Counties?
    Black Country?

    Everyone is as different from the next one as apples from bananas.

    It makes me laugh every time foreigners (usually American) think everyone here talks like Prince William or Nigella Lawson.

    It may surprise you to know I don't own an umberella, I've never worn a Bowler Hat, and Rolls Royces are not really that common either.

    :)

    Rubbish.

    By that thinking all actresses who started young wouldn't be famous now.

    Lindsay Lohan
    Jodie Foster
    Drew Barrymore
    Christina Ricci
    Kirsten Dunst
    Eliza Dushku
    Michelle Trachtenberg

    Shall we go on?

    To be honest, I didn't notice her until she flashed her bush on her 18th birthday.
