Mine is that I respectfully disagree.
I pose that the reason you enjoy watching Emma Watson is because you're attracted to her and perhaps less attracted to Jennifer Lawrence (if at all). That's not a judgement, we're all attracted to different actors for different reasons. I enjoy both actors, I see the good and bad in both their performances. I don't know how to be unbiased about it, so I can't call this an unbiased or objective opinion, but in my esteem, Watson is a far weaker actress than Lawrence, though she is prettier - but for me, because she is weaker at acting, I enjoy her performances less.
At times, both have a contrived quality to their acting, but Jennifer Lawrence seems to be better at getting comfortable in a role and eventually owning it, while Watson seems to always play the exact same type with almost no variation. I don't know that anyone loves Lawrence's acting, I think Hollywood loves her more than the public; Watson is stuck in the minds of Potter fans as Hermione forever and can therefore do no wrong to a lot of fans, so there's a lot more love for her from the public than Lawrence.

Great answer. Both are limited actresses but in different ways. Lawrence was very good in 'Winter's Bone' but it was one-note dramatic performance. Even the habitually awful Daniel Radcliffe did well with one of those in 'My Boy Jack'.
Watson was very good as Hermione where she played a posh, clever and likeable little girl. But neither she nor Lawrence has done much of note since those roles.
