Actress, UN ambassador, feminist icon… During her life, Emma Watson has worn many hats. But the one that will always stick with him in the eyes of many fans is the role of Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter saga.

In the company of Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint, the actress participated in the immense success of this series of magical films. For the three child stars, not everything has always been rosy.

Indeed, in the special program of the 20 years of the saga, Harry Potter: Return to Hogwarts, Emma Watson confided that she had thought of stopping everything and abandoning her character at the dawn of the shooting of the fifth film.

It must be said that the actress began her career particularly young and that the dazzling success of the saga propelled her to the rank of international superstar. So, as the filming of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was about to begin, the actress felt alone, and she seriously considered stopping everything.

“I realize that at that time I was really alone, yes. The question of fame had ended up having a dreadful impact. I think I was scared. I don’t know if you’ve ever felt that Tipping moment where you’re like ‘this is forever now’?” she explained during the show.

Despite everything, she hung on and went all the way. Today, she sees filming the Harry Potter films as a great adventure. And during all these years, it was alongside this saga that she grew up and was able to become who she is today.
