The thing about her is that even though she has her 'feminist and lovely immigrants' issues she has also seen virtually no big/blockbuster work after Harry Potter and she doesn't live in Hollywood.
Have been some stuff going around about the reason for this being that she declined 'the deal' and that this is the reason why she haven't gotten even close to the roles her name and face recognition would normally warrant and that is the inevitable result for anyone that says yes to 'the deal'.
Are a few fairly spectacular examples of people being set to make it big only to decline into obscurity that suggest that the whole deal is very real and that they said no to it, one such is a virtual unknown that basically carried a show for 3 season as the lead. She probably casting couched herself into that role and did so with gusto given her completely unknown status before and landing the lead in a major series without any prior work that would justify it, and given what she was apparently willing to do to get the role must have made them think she was a shoe-in for taking the deal(and probably why it continued for 3 seasons), they expected her to say yes but apparently she didn't and has gotten virtually no work since.

So whenever I see someone that fits the profile of 'set to make it big but didn't' it's fairly good indication that while still quite human they have some measure of backbone/integrity/values and lines they WILL NOT CROSS and as such I tend to give them the benefit of doubt and like her or not Emma Watson does fit in this category....
