A 9-year-old girl from Greater London looks so much like Hermione Granger from JK Rowling’s Harry Potter that she gets stopped on the street by strangers on a regular basis who are usually in awe of the likeness.

Emmie Allan looks like a younger Emma Watson and her friends have nicknamed her Hermione.

Apart from sharing similar features with the actress, Emmie also has a Gryffindor robe that she at a fancy dress competition last year.

Her mother, Sherelle Allan, said the similarities between her daughter and Emma Watson are ‘creepy’.

"I do get excited for her looking like Emma. It's very funny. It's definitely a flattering lookalike. It would be nice to get her some recognition for it looking like Emma,” the mother told LadBible.

"It was around three years ago that we realised she looked like Hermione. Since then all of our friends and family know, and friends call her Hermione as a nickname,” she added.

The mother said Emmie was initially flattered and shy when anyone approached her and said she looked like Hermione. But now she confidently says, “Yes, I know.”

Like her doppelganger, Emmie wants to become an actress or a model. However, her mother thinks she may outgrow looking like the actress

"There are a few people who have said if Emma Watson wanted to do a film where there was a flashback to her childhood, Emmie would be the perfect face for it. She did say she wanted to do modelling but I've got two younger children and doing modelling takes a lot of commitment and last minute travelling,” said the mother.
