Emma took a complete hiatus from acting so that she could focus on her education. But she previously confirmed that she hasnât completely retired from the field yet.
After completing high school, the actress was busy filming the last two installments in the Harry Potter movie franchise and then took a gap year.
She then enrolled at Brown University to study English, but she continued acting on the side.

While talking about her decision to step back from acting, Emma spoke about feeling âcagedâ and having to âsell somethingâ she didnât have much control over.

âThe thing I found really hard was that I had to go out and sell something that I really didnât have very much control over,â she continued. âTo stand in front of a film and have every journalist be able to say, âHow does this align with your viewpoint?ââ
âIt was very difficult to have to be the face and the spokesperson for things where I didnât get to be involved in the process,â she added.

Emma was thrust into stardom since the age of 11, playing Hermione Granger in all eight Harry Potter films.
She spoke about early fame during a televised reunion special with her co-stars in 2022.
âI did find a diary entry [from the time] that was kind of like ⊠I could see that at times I was lonely. The fame thing had really hit home in a big way,â she said.
She told co-star Rupert Grint during the appearance: âI think I was scared. I donât know if you ever felt like it got to a tipping point where you were like, âThis is kind of forever now.ââ

The following year, Emma expressed happiness in taking back control over her life.
âIâm just so glad that I did [step away from acting] because I have this feeling of having my own voice and creative space and sovereignty in some way that I donât think I did before â more autonomy,â she told British Vogue in 2023.
âIâm so glad that I allowed things to be messy for a minute and to really allow myself to not know [whatâs next]because the knowing that Iâve come to, I wouldnât trade that for anything,â she added.
