In the popular film series, Daniel Radcliffe portrayed the main character, with Rupert Grint playing Ron Weasley.
Emma has since balanced her acting career with education and advocacy, notably appearing in Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women last year.
Making headlines in the past, the Harry Potter actress revealed in a British Vogue interview that she prefers to describe herself as ‘self-partnered’ rather than single.
Explaining her choice of words, Emma expressed, ‘I couldn’t find a term that captured the internal struggles and societal pressures I was facing, so I opted for self-partnered.’
Success came knocking on Emma’s door when she landed the role of the studious Hermione Granger in the beloved Harry Potter series. From 2001 to 2011, she enchanted audiences in all eight films with her brilliant portrayal of the character.
In addition to her role as Belle in the 2017 live-action film Beauty and the Beast, Emma Watson discussed her term “self-partnered” in a recent interview. She shared that the term was more about creating a definition for her current situation rather than just coining a word. Despite her happiness in being “self-partnered”, Emma was seen kissing a mystery man outside a bakery in London shortly before her interview with British Vogue last year. Previously, she was linked romantically to Dominic Piazza and had a brief fling with former Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe.
In August, rumors circulated that Emma Watson was romantically involved with her former Harry Potter co-star Tom Felton, who portrayed Draco Malfoy in the movie series. The two shared a photo on Instagram of a cozy guitar lesson in South Africa, leading some fans to playfully dub them ‘Dramione’ and ‘Feltson’. However, Tom denied the dating speculation in an interview with MailOnline, praising Emma as a “smart and lovely young lady” and revealing that he is content being “happily self-partnered”. Prior to these rumors, Emma was in a relationship with Glee actor Chord Overstreet in 2018, but they broke up after six months.
Emma recently took on the role of Meg March in the 2019 version of Little Women.
