TV Article 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' trailer from MTV Movie Awards By Lanford Beard Updated on October 6, 2022 05:24PM EDT The Perks of Being a Wallflower centers on several teens' journey to discover their identities. Among them is Emma Watson's Sam. In Watson's first major attempt to shed the skin of her Harry Potter character Hermione Granger, the stakes are as high off screen as they are on.
