It’s impossible to think of Hermione Granger without thinking of Emma Watson who played the role for a decade. Fans watched the British actress grace the screen as one of Harry Potter’s best friends in the film series based on the books by J.K. Rowling for eight films. But Watson nearly left the franchise after the fourth film, “Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire.” In 2022, a “Harry Potter” reunion special came out called “Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts,” where the cast discussed their experiences filming the beloved movies.
During the reunion special, Rupert Grint, who played Ron Weasley, said to Watson: “You were considering pulling out. I’ve never really spoken to you about that.” Watson responded saying “I think I was scared. I don’t know if you ever felt like it got to a tipping point where you were like, this is kind of forever now.” She expressed the loneliness she sometimes felt during that time in her life and also spoke about the intense fame that hit her and the rest of the stars. Luckily, Watson continued to play Hermione for the remainder of the “Harry Potter” films.
Who is Emma Watson dating?
Watson is dating a businessman from Los Angeles, California named Leo Robinton. The pair were first linked at the end of 2019 when pictures started to surface of the two.
