'Harry Potter' Star Emma Watson Retiring From Acting? Manager Addresses Rumors

Emma Watson's fans can do the happy dance as the actress' manager has confirmed that she is not stepping away from acting despite rumors claiming otherwise.

Fans of the "Harry Potter" star nearly had a meltdown Thursday after Daily Mail claimed in a report that Watson may be retiring from acting in order to spend more time with her partner, Leo Robinton.

The outlet quoted her "agent" as allegedly saying that Watson has gone "dormant," adding, "That appears to be movie-speak for she's 'given up acting.'" Daily Mail also quoted a source as saying that Watson "has gone underground" and is "settling down" with her boyfriend.

Watson started trending on Twitter shortly after the report surfaced, prompting Jason Weinberg, her manager at Untitled Entertainment, to clarify that she is not quitting acting.

"Emma's social media accounts are dormant but her career isn't," he said in a statement to Entertainment Weekly.

Following this statement, her fans flocked to Twitter to express their happiness over the news.

One wrote: "A brief hiatus from sports and law to rejoice in the #emmawatson retirement correction."

Another simply wrote: "Emma Watson isn’t retiring guys."

"Emma Watson is not retiring... good to know. But if she ever gets tired, she can sit on my face and rest," tweeted another fan.

One more fan wrote: "I’m so happy to hear that #EmmaWatson isn’t retiring from acting."

Watson is not a regular on social media. Her last tweet was posted on Aug. 27 regarding author Adrienne Maree Brown's "Emergent Strategy."

Watson, now 30, shot to fame by playing Hermione Granger in the "Harry Potter" film series, which began in 2001 and culminated in 2011. She is also known for starring in movies like "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," "Noah" and "Beauty and the Beast."

She was last seen on the big screen in 2019 as Meg March in "Little Women," directed by Greta Gerwig.

In an interview with British Vogue for their December 2019 issue, Watson described 2019 as having been "tough" because she "had all these ideas" about what her life was supposed to look like when she turns 30.

"I was like, ‘Why does everyone make such a big fuss about turning 30? This is not a big deal…’ Cut to 29, and I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I feel so stressed and anxious. And I realise it’s because there is suddenly this bloody influx of subliminal messaging around. If you have not built a home, if you do not have a husband, if you do not have a baby, and you are turning 30, and you’re not in some incredibly secure, stable place in your career, or you’re still figuring things out…There’s just this incredible amount of anxiety," she said.

"I never believed the whole ‘I’m happy single’ spiel. I was like, ‘This is totally spiel.’ It took me a long time, but I’m very happy [being single]. I call it being self-partnered," she added.

Though she has yet to openly talk about her beau, Watson and Robinton have been dating for reportedly over one year.
