Emma Watson may have moved away from acting, but that hasn't taken away from how beloved she is by many, especially for her time playing Hermione Granger in the film. Harry Potter films. But even acting behind her, he still lives his best life, which includes writing, directing, and other work behind the camera. Now Watson has turned 34 and celebrated the big milestone with a candid and elegant portrait.
Last year, Watson marked her 33rd birthday by reflecting on her dog, the then-recent Harry Potter reunion (which can be streamed with a Max subscription) and other life milestones. This year, he opted for a more minimalist approach and shared the following two images of her. instagram page:
That beauty! These portraits speak for themselves, Watson just writes the new era of her and includes an Aries sign in the caption. It was enough, as the post has racked up over two million likes and, of course, many people have wished her a happy birthday in the comments section. This post comes about a year after Watson went viral on social media with a different type of image, in which she was seen wearing what looked like a flowing dress.
In addition to the eight Harry Potter films, Emma Watson's other notable credits include The perks of Being a Wallflower, This is the end, Beauty and the Beast and Little woman. The latter remains her last film appearance, meaning it's been five years since she starred in a film. As for why Watson stopped acting, it all comes down to her just not being “very happy.” She felt “a little caged” and found it “difficult to have to be the face and spokesperson for things” in which she was not “involved in the process.”
All of this is not to say that we will never see Watson act again, but at this stage in his life, he is obviously enjoying his other creative endeavors. And even if he does return to acting, it will likely be in projects where he has at least some creative control over the story being told. But then again, just because she's not on camera doesn't mean we don't hear from Watson from time to time. For example, in late January, she talked about how she “wasted” her youth playing table tennis with Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint.
