The Harry Potter series was a huge part of people’s lives, and still is. The series got extremely lucky with the cast, as they were able to grow with the movies. One of these actors is Emma Watson, who played Hermione Granger. After Harry Potter ended, she became an activist and also continued to act in various films such as The Perks Of Being A Wallflower and the live-action Beauty And The Beast, where she played Belle. In recent years, however, we have not seen much of her on the big or small screen, and a new interview reveals why.
In a recent interview with the Financial Times, she revealed that she took a break because she “wasn’t very happy” with the profession. She also revealed how she “felt a bit caged” and that she struggled with not having much control over something and having to sell herself. She also revealed that it was difficult to be the spokesperson for a project for which she didn’t have much input.

Emma Watson’s most recent acting role was in Greta Gerwig’s Little Women, where she played the role of Meg March. The movie received six Oscar nominations, including Best Picture. She was also in Darren Aronofsky’s Noah and The Bling Ring. At the end of 2023, her acting hiatus will have hit five years.
She has kept busy, however, and has ventured into writing and directing. She’s written and directed an advertising campaign for Prada. She also reveals that she has been asked to direct a music video, but won’t reveal who asked her. Watson has stated that she would absolutely return to acting, but she’s happy to sit and wait until the next right thing comes along. She also said that she loves her job, but doesn’t like when she has to go into robot mode for a role.
