Harry Potter’s star Emma Watson reveals why she moved away from acting for 7 years

Protagonist in a global phenomenon such as Harry Potter It can create an actor for life, but he also has intense pressure. Filming times are long, the press tours are exhausting and the spotlights never vanish.

For Emma Watsonwho gave birth to Hermione Granger in all eight Harry Potter Films, the needs of the work eventually pushed her to get away completely.

In a recent interview with Hollywood Authentic, Watson opened the reason why he took a seven -year break from Hollywood and how much he had to do with the parts of the work that take place from the camera.

“In a sense I really won the lottery [with acting]And what happened to me is so unusual. But a larger component of the real work itself is the promotion and sale of that work, this piece of art.

“The balance of this can be quite thrown away. I think I will be honest and direct and I will say: I don’t miss to sell things. I discovered that to be quite destructive. But I miss it very much to use my skill set, and I miss art very much. I just discovered that I got to do so little of the part that I really had fun.”

Watson continued to talk about how much he loved the creative side of acting once the cameras have started rolling.

“The moment you come across a set of movies, you don’t get much time for the tests. But when you can talk through a scene – or I was able to prepare myself and think about how I wanted to do something – and then when the camera rolls and completely forget about everything that does not allow me.

For years, fans have hoped to see Watson gather Daniel Radcliffe AND Rupert Grint in a cinematographic adaptation of Harry Potter and the cursed child. Also directR Chris Columbuswho directed the first two films, he said he would like to see him happen, even if he admitted that he would be “impossible” because of the complicated relationship between the cast and the creator of the series JK Rowling.

But even if the project went somehow forward, Watson’s feelings for the marketing machine behind successful films make it unlikely that he would like to return.

A movie like The cursed child He would have put his forehead and the center in a huge global press tour and, given his comments, this is the exact part of the acting that has no interest in revisiting.

This does not mean having closed the door to acting forever. There is always the possibility that it can enter a new franchise at some point, but those projects have equally pressure and promotion. Unless he has found a way to limit his marketing obligations, he may not be the right solution for her.

For now, Watson seems happy to stay away from the spotlight. She is missing art, not grounding, and that distinction says everything about why she chose to get away from Hollywood for so long.

Regardless of the fact that in the end he makes a return to the big screen, he has already left a lasting sign as one of the most loved characters in modern cinema.
