Economics change, so politics change. Women's rights make perfect sense in some eras, not in others.

Not a huge number of feminists in the Great Depression or the 1950s either.

It’s infuriating when one wants to build on and into different characters. It happens more with women than it does with men in the industry I’m afraid.

And then hermoine with her big teath and bushy hair. Bill, tall handsome and charlie, shorter than Bill but with strong arms. The 4 actors that were cast in these roles didn't fit the description at all and it was such a let down.

Not so across the pond. Daniel Radcliffe is worth £95M pounds which is over $120 million, and he was a child star.

May be , but I love her Meg March . I grew up reading Little women and Meg was exactly what I imagined.

[@Fable64]

She could have stepped out of being type cast in “This is the end” but she straight up left the set. So it seems like she is probably not good enough for the roles she wants and isn’t a fan of the fun roles that Daniel Radcliffe has embraced.

[@Brinta3]

@@kenyonbissett3512 She can’t sing though. At the least they should have hired someone else to sing.

[@lornatw]

Well she's always had a massive passion for a higher education because of subjects she has interest in studying further. She had to push back these pursuits for quite some time not just going to a Univeristy but other experiences she could have got within the film industry such as writing and things like that. So whatever she does I just know she'll put her full dedication into it just as she does with everything she's done! ❤

Don't worry, she'll return to acting in about 5-10 years for her next role in a niche A24 film

Sometimes young actors who are caught up in a popular film or television series get burned out from all the work they’ve done in a relatively short period of time so they just walk away. And sometimes it’s not just that maybe they’re going through other issues that drive them away.

Fun fact. She was originally never going to audition. Some of the other girls at her school did, but she didn’t want to. Eventually one of her teachers encouraged her to audition. Just kind of funny to me how one of my favorite movie characters wouldn’t have happened if that teacher hadn’t encouraged her to do it.

[@Silver_tree83]

In a recent interview she said she hasn’t quit acting she just had a break from it and wants to focus on directing now in the future she said she might act again

[@heartjewelry-hh1nz]

Emma’s acting is just okay. She just needs to work on stop making the same facial expressions she had as Hermione. A lot of actors and actresses have this issue; they act the same in all roles.

[@AlexisBevitt]

"Prime Minister of UK more likely than Harry Potter return" That's beautiful.

[@INFJGuy]

Alan rickman said that in his private journal still early in the films i believe. He also said daniel was more suited to be a director. They obviously both evolved since and im sure he did his best to mentor but i agree with him tbh. Her first couple hp movies were bad acting. Daniel's wasnt great either. And im a huge hp fan but i hardly ever watch the first two. They get much better after

[@FullmoonPhantom-dn2sr]

Really? I love the beginning of the franchise. Hermione was always my favorite character in HP.

[@INFJGuy]

@@FullmoonPhantom-dn2sr I do too but I'm in favor of the books tho and kind of just skip to 3 with movies. I've probably seen the first too much as a little kid. And she's not the sole reason at all. It's a combo of that, the CGI, and acting. I feel like they found their groove and were believable as best friends around 3 and up.

[@FullmoonPhantom-dn2sr]

@@INFJGuy I loved both versions of Hermione. Generally, I just loved the tone of the beginning series. I may be guilty of being a Hermione as well. Of course, I loved all the books/movies. I was less a fan of the 5th or 6th one. Idr which. It was the one where the characters were at peak angst and Ron was such a jerk! That one was exhausting! Favorite book was the 4th and fav movie was perhaps the 5th.

[@ChienaAvtzon]

Alan Rickman complimented Daniel Radcliffe by stating he should become a producer or director. Those jobs are much harder than acting. Emma Watson’s acting was always the worst of the cast, and her diction is still terrible. She over-enunciates in order to sound posh, which just comes across as pretentious.

[@INFJGuy]

@@FullmoonPhantom-dn2sr that's 6. Harry Potter and the time Ron was a royal git lol. I don't really have a fav book. They all have their place for me. Fav movies are 3,5, and 7. I'm looking forward to the HBO remake because there's so much left out of the movies. Like just hanging around being friends they can make time for. And 1 or 2 will take years to cover so I think it'll work out well.

[@DannyPodcast]

she did the right thing, shes not that much of an actress and obviously interested in other things

[@Nick827]

well she's a disloyal woman now, so it's not like we'll miss someone like that anyhow.

[@B.B.Digital_Forest]

Good for her. Many women left Hollywood for good reasons. And the British acting community is much more flexible and small enough for her to come back later.

[@Saeiyu]

To be fair, she has a lot of money not only from her movies but from her brand deals, fashion ambassador, etc. But I think the main reason she is stepping down is because she is the least talented of the trio. She is an okay actress but only because her early success made her a household name worldwide and she had the chance of 8 movies to learn to act from the best actors in the UK. If you compare her acting to Daniel or Ruperts she still falls short and never really diversified from the "Hermione" type character (Bookish and sassy) while Daniel and Rupert have thrown themselves into the craziest roles they could find as well as other HP alumni who show up in theater, cinema, sit coms and other acting gigs. She seems more successful because her acting gigs are always big projects but she hasn't really matured as an actor and the public that grew up with her is bound to catch up at some point if she keeps doing basic love stories.

[@mald379]

"f you compare her acting to Daniel or Ruperts she still falls short" I'M SORRY, what? have we seen the same HP movies?

[@ChienaAvtzon]

@@mald379 - Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint can act. Emma Watson cannot, and was always the worst of the three. Rupert was naturally the most talented, but Daniel actually matured into the best actor of the child cast. It is why he has the most successful career as an adult. It is impossible to typecast him, at this point, because his roles are too varied.

[@profscarlett]

Her acting shows her personality. She is well educated promoting literacy in young women. She wouldn’t accept a movie role of a stripper dancing on a pole, or a killer, or someone stupid. There are not too many roles for female librarians, so she’s better doing what’s best for her.

[@jimbo7551]

I can relate

[@FullmoonPhantom-dn2sr]

That is awful. Though, I agree with them, her leaving definitely would’ve ruined the franchise. If they had to switch out one of the 3 main cast. I hate when that happens in stories. Besides, she’s set for life because of that role. She has all the time in the world to do whatever she likes now. She might not have had that before.
