I hope she's retiring from politics too!

Emma Watson is involved in politics? Is she talking about running for office or something?

If this is true, she will be off my favorite actress list. Politics is one of the biggest turn-offs for me.

No, she just spouts loony liberal garbage whenever possible. Yes. Big turn off.

It seems these days all you get is either loony liberals or kooky conservatives... no middle ground. Whatever happened to moderates or centrists?

Mostly feminism stuff.

She has to be careful not to pull a J.K. Rowling.

Yeah, who believes in equality anyway?!! 🤦‍♂️

I don't know what she said specifically. But it's not always a black and white case.

I just put the roles she was known for.

reply

[–] jonathan_k80 (6436) 3 years ago

That was in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Hermione turns into a cat due to a botched potion mixture.

I'll cope.

Makes sense. She will forever collect from the Potter films and has no need to work ever again. She hasn't really been in anything exceptional since then. I thought she was good in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Beauty in the Beast was meh (but made boatloads of cash), and the rest of her films have been OK to bad imo, although I haven't seen Little Women. I don't think she ever really enjoyed the popularity that comes with being an attractive star and I don't blame her. Probably attempts a comeback in 5 years or maybe moves on to theater.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (51582) 3 years ago

I question if many people will even notice that she's gone.

reply

[–] howgamer (3659) 3 years ago

Considering how popular HP is, I imagine she has a large following, but she's certainly not an A-lister or anything.

[–] trevorh321 (5495) 3 years ago

I wish she had retired before Beauty and the Beast so they could have cast someone who was right for the part.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (51582) 3 years ago

Who did you want? A real beast?

reply

[–] chilone (17310) 3 years ago

I don't think DeNiro would have taken the part.

Well, good for her.
