Don't let the Hogwarts uniform fool you - that's not Emma Watson. That is, as we said, Kari Lewis, who is not Emma Watson. Kari is a video rental store employee, but had never made the connection with herself and the Harry Potter actress until a couple of girls told her that she looked like Hermione. Speaking to BuzzFeed, Kari said: "I had no idea who Hermione was, nor have I ever heard of that name, at the time since this was when the first Harry Potter film was released. So, my mom and I had to look it up and find out who she was. "If it wasn't for those two young girls, I probably wouldn't have known about Harry Potter until a bit later."
She's since gone on to cosplay as Hermione at conventions, and actually relates to the character a great deal. "I've always loved reading books since I first learned how to read," she said. "So I think it was inevitable for me to like Harry Potter so much once I started reading it. "I think it's super cool because I've always related to Hermione in the books (smart, bossy, avid reader, etc). So, it makes cosplaying as Hermione at conventions a thousand times better!" Here she is as Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Uncanny!
