Emma Watson retires from acting 20 years after finding fame in Harry Potter

Emma Watson is retiring from acting.

The Hollywood star reached unimaginable heights of fame after she landed the role of Hermione Granger in hit franchise Harry Potter at just 10 years old.

Now 30, Emma has decided to step away from the silver screen as her agent told Daily Mail that she is “dormant” from her career and won’t be taking on any new projects for the foreseeable future.

Emma's decision to quit acting was reportedly spurred on by her desire to spend more quality time with rumoured fiancé Leo Robinton.

The pair have been dating for 18 months and it seems as though their romance is going from strength to strength.

The Mirror has contacted Emma's reps for comment.

Though Emma has remained tight-lipped on her current relationship with Leo, she has been open about her views on dating in the past.

In a previous interview, the actress said: "The boyfriends or partners I’ve had have generally made me feel really cherished. They’ve built me up.”

While she told Vogue magazine in November 2019 that she was “self-partnered” – making the comments after it is believed she had been dating Leo for over a year.

She said at the time: “I never believed the whole ‘I’m happy single’ spiel.

“It took me a long time, but I’m very happy [being single]. I call it being self-partnered.”

Rumours of her engagement to Leo began to fly earlier this month after she was spotted with a ring on her wedding finger when she was seen at an airport in LA with her man.

The diamond sparkler prompted immediate speculation that Emma may be preparing to tie-the-knot with dashing American man Leo.

Daily Mail previously suggested the loved up pair jetted off to Mexico together for a pre-Valentine's trip.
