British starlet Emma Watson has been unveiled as the latest figure at London's world famous waxwork museum Madame Tussauds.

Fans will be able to get up-close-and-personal with the 22-year-old, who shot to fame playing Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films.

According to Madame Tussauds PR Manager Nicole Fenner, visitors to the museum have been requesting a figure of the actress and model for some time, and she promises to be a popular addition to the museum's A-List gallery.

"We have lots and lots of Hollywood A-Listers here at Madame Tussauds and I think she brings a touch of British class to our line-up".

Sculptor Alex Carlisle, who spent a total of four months working on the waxwork, has become rather enamoured with his subject.

"I think her eyes are lovely and she's got a real knowing look. She's not quite as attractive as my wife, but I think she's gorgeous, yeah."
