According to the online family roots-tracing source, Ancestry.com, the 19-year-old star — who plays Hermione in the Harry Potter films — is the distant relative of a Essex County, England woman convicted of witchcraft in the 16th century.

Emma is a descendent of Joan Playle, who was convicted of witchcraft in 1592 and kicked out of the Church of England.
