The actress, who plays Hermione Granger in the franchise, was permitted to use the money after reaching her 18th birthday yesterday.
However, the Daily Mail reports that she had to agree to attend a course from the Queen's bankers Coutts on how to spend her money wisely.
Fellow Harry Potter child stars including Tom Felton, who plays Draco Malfoy, were also present at the meetings.
Watson was reportedly paid £2.5 million for sixth instalment Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, which is currently filming in Hertfordshire.
She will also receive £3 million for the two-part adaptation of the final book in J.K. Rowling's series.
