The only girl star in the Harry Potter series, Hermoine Granger is looking better and better. She was casted for Harry Potter at the age of 9 and since then she appeared in all the Harry Potter film installments.

Emma looks hotter and hotter and now she will be 18 (15 April). Many people are wondering what is she going to do now. I hope she won’t go the wrong path, she’s got to many things to lose if so.

According to the Daily Mail Emma was spotted shopping for couture clothes suitable for her 18th birthday.

Fortunately, Emma is not the party girl type. In more than a month she has hardly had a night out, she’s preoccupied with school and the latest Harry Potter movie.

Emma seems to be the perfect daughter, colleague, friend and young actress. There’s only one thing that drove her parents crazy (they’re both lawyers, her mother is French and her father is English) : Emma was photographed with Johnny Borrel, rocker, ex-heroin addict and guitarist with the band Razorlight.

After the photos hit the stands her parents and her producer told Emma she is not allowed to see Johnny anymore, if she still wants an acting career.

They were all so cute back then:
