Kari Lewis from Indiana says people started to mistake her for the famous [_Harry Potter_](http://time.com/4731720/harry-potter-haggadah/) actor around the time that the first movie in the cult franchise launched Watson as Hermione Granger. “I didn’t know who Emma Watson was when I was first spotted at a postal office and a couple of young girls told me I looked like ‘Hermione Granger,'”Lewis told [BuzzFeed](https://www.buzzfeed.com/whitneyjefferson/emma-watsons-doppelganger-will-make-you-do-a-double-take?utm%5Fterm=.fn1AeWq23#.dd9AMzop6). After that, she began her “dive into the _Harry Potter_ universe.” Lewis has even taken to dressing up as the wizarding world’s top magical smarty pants and the brave [_Beauty and the Beast_](http://time.com/4702466/josh-gad-emma-watson-horse/) heroine, Belle, to better resemble her famous counterpart at fan conventions. Here she is at work studying spells. Here she is doing her best “I want so much more than this provincial life” look. This is the latest Watson lookalikes the internet has spotted. In October, Megan Flockhart’s Hermione Granger went viral after she [posted a selfie](http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/meet-woman-who-looks-more-9116551?ICID=FB%5Fmirror%5Fmain) that made fans do a double take. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4812428/emma-watson-lookalike-hermione/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4812428/emma-watson-lookalike-hermione/"},"headline":"This Spellbinding Emma Watson Lookalike Loves Dressing Up as Hermione and Belle","datePublished":"2017-06-09T12:39:10.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:44:20.627Z","description":"Emma Watson has a new lookalike on Instagram, and she loves to dress up as Hermione Granger and Belle.","url":"https://time.com/4812428/emma-watson-lookalike-hermione/","keywords":["Newsfeed","movies","celebrities","viral","Books","Harry Potter","Emma Watson"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt411b8d8f8850eec4/6988cbc9fb4eac7187891d22/emma-watson.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ashley Hoffman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt411b8d8f8850eec4/6988cbc9fb4eac7187891d22/emma-watson.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"\"The Circle\" Premiere - 2017 Tribeca Film Festival","caption":"\"The Circle\" Premiere - 2017 Tribeca Film Festival","creditText":"Steven Ferdman—Patrick McMullan via Getty Image","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4812428/emma-watson-lookalike-hermione/","name":"This Spellbinding Emma Watson Lookalike Loves Dressing Up as Hermione and Belle"}}]}] ```
