Emma and the rest of the main Harry Potter cast were photographed by Sarah Dunn back in 2011 for Empire UK's "Special Potter Photo Special" to celebrate the ending of the saga.
Emma said during her interview: "You know, [Hermione's role] wasn't something I was looking for; it found me. So there are times when I question, 'Am I any good? Is this the thing I should be doing?'"

Emma about to do her daily 200 push ups xD
Ow, i thought this was a new pic
It's new, just not recent. Could have said "new old" but it sounds weird to me XD
So it's not nous nous?
Only nous.
"So there are times when I question, 'Am I any good? Is this the thing I should be doing?"
And there are still people waiting for movie news...
That was in 2011 and we did get more movies.
We got 10 more movies after that, in 12 years. It’s only the last two that she hasn’t done movies. And a lot of actors were in that boat with Covid anyway, the movie industry is still in bits.
Impostor syndrome affecting so many people, even beautiful and successful ones as Emma.
"It's new, just not recent. Could have said "new old" but it sounds weird to me XD"
Oww, sorry Eden, I thought this was like new recent photoshoot because Emma looks the same😅
We got 10 more movies after that, in 12 years. It’s only the last two that she hasn’t done movies. And a lot of actors were in that boat with Covid anyway, the movie industry is still in bits.
But, most of them are not leading roles. I think there were only 5 movies with Emma as the lead actor after 2011
Good actors get roles. And sometimes you have to go out on a limb to see which script is good. I might think- because she has not had any roles in 3 years- that she is questioning herself. Nobody is hounding her for roles
Why would only leading roles count??
She removed all of her contacts from IMDB about 2 years ago (except her manager and her lawyer). She's not getting hounded because she doesn't want to get scripts that way anymore.
She is still actually working with Kevin Huvane (her agent) though, as person above says she just doesn’t want unsolicited scripts. She only wants to work with people she knows and likes.
She’s still working with Luke as well
I see her not having roles- or a role as a portrayal of self-doubt. What an attitude, she might end up not getting any scripts.
where on imdb can you see that? I had no idea
who her lawyer is?
She removed luke Windsor pr firm from her imdb as well actually and prosper pr deleted Emma's highlights from their insta in 2020 I think they also do not work officially together a anymore
On IMDB-PRO it shows you Emma removed all her team aside from ones mentioned above
You can click on the section called 'contacts' and you see all her old team is not listed anylonger
she used to list her publicist and many others but clearly is not looking for work since around April 2020 and is going solo
hmmm i think she was tired of hollywood system weird guys who work in it, auditioning and bad scripts they send so will do her own work now
tbh she doesn't need money so why keep working on Hollywood movies you don't really like when you can do something else creative that you yourself control and will be in charge of makes sense to me she mad eher own company now
In imdb pro do you have to pay to see all this or is it worth it with the free version?
I hope she finds fulfillment through her new productions
Ngl wish Emma would be transparent with what is actually happening career-wise and explain imdb style stuff to fans which would end speculation and rumors or random guess work. its only harming fans and her when people make up stuff that no one knows for sure is true
I don't know if they changed but in 2020 when I looked it up you could see her contacts without imdb-pro and paying money. only her manager and legal team were on there at the time like other comments said.
However maybe imdb changed their policy and you need a Pro account now? I will check this evening when home
"Ngl wish Emma would be transparent with what is actually happening career-wise"
Yes 1000%. But I think all the times she talked about movie roles coming that ended up not coming might have made her wary.
I think she is in a place where she doesn't trust media to report what she says on twitter or insta in a faithful way anymore
so only explains things in proper interviews to magazines that he only does once or twice a year so it slow to get news but i think in her wonderland interview it really answered most questions about what happened the last few years with her personally and career-wise
if you read between the lines
she felt lost and going nowhere and wanted to change the manufactured emma watson the public has gotten to know these last few years
People should read the wonderland interview fully again it explains so much really.
TBH her agent explained her career is dormant so that was all I needed to hear and explains imdb removing stuff she simply doesn't want to be contacted for work these days
https://www.emmawatson-updates.com/2021/02/emma-watsons-publicist-confirms-her.html
There is no longer the option "contact" it is only clients, box office... and in all the options you have to pay to see the information, you cannot see the info with the free option.
what is the name of her lawyer?? i thought it was her parents, since they both are lawyers too.
She has an entertainment lawyer, someone who specialises in contracts for that business. Her parents wouldn't have anything beyond basic knowledge of that.
I apparently f Emma registered her own directing company last year
"I apparently f Emma registered her own directing company last year"
Yes. It's been discussed in November https://www.emmawatson-updates.com/2022/11/more-promo-shots-of-emma-watson-with.html
I do not believe that she has any real offers. If she has her own production company, she could assemble her own projects, but that is expensive. If the projects do not float, you are broke.
She has at least $100 million. She could afford to fund a few indie-style movies herself. Whether she could get a distributor is another story. It took Kristen Stewart more than 3 years to get one for The Chronology of Water.
her current bf is a billionaire i think her company is possible due to him maybe
Emma’s total net worth is said to be $85 million if she does small projects or seeks investment from others it should be safe to do some projects and not lose it all
i think the pl;an is advertising and music video style projects of 2-3mins so she will start small to learn the trade before some huge risky project
1) Luke has been with her at events since he was removed from IMDb, so him not being listed there doesn’t mean anything. Likewise Kevin is still working with her. As others have said it’s come off IMDb as she doesn’t want to get work that way from random people.
2) the DM rumour on her career being dormant is not true. Aside from the fact that their article was a complete mess and said it came from her agent (Kevin, and the idea that one of the most powerful agents in HW would speak to the DM about he career is both hilarious and has as much chance as pigs flying), then during the same article said publicist (Luke who wouldnt talk to them either, and they seem to have no idea that an agent and publicist are different people), and then in their correction said manager, Jason (who is her manager) then rubbished it anyway. She’s left Jason on IMDb so people have someone to contact.
3) she has never been advised by her parents, aside from it being a terrible idea and needing separation between her personal life and legal affairs, her parents aren’t media lawyers. Her mother (who was a tax lawyer) is no longer in law, and her father is a communications and IT lawyer.
4) her finding a movie herself wouldn’t be possible unless it’s tiny, she’d need alternative financial backing.
Luke was only at Bafta out of all her recent events so it does seem he doesn't officially represent her anymore tbh
Prosper PR deleting Emma's highlight reel on instagram is the main sign of something being up
I'm sure she is still friends with luke or some kind of associate, guess she doesn't officially need a PR team while not actively seeking movie work probably why she ha dno links to them anymore
Didn't he simply take time off from work while getting married and could only do a few events due to that?
In any case, emma seems to do her own PR these days and maybe she decided to downsize and save money on excess people in her entourage to better fund her new company and other business plans
Her being "dormant" comes from marking her accounts "dormant" in late 2019/early 2020
facebook still has that on her page i think she wisely forgot facebook is even a thing lol also ditched twitter mostly and just use insta now for work and ignores toxic comments that make these sites bad for mental health hopefully
It was obvious that her contract with Luke's PR firm was terminated in 2020, she had basically taken a break for the past few years and there was no need to renew her contract. They are friends in private, so it's no surprise that occasionally Luke accompanies her to an event in the UK.
What all recent events?! Her only main recent appearances professionally were the baftas and the earthshot awards and he was at both. We don’t have any photos of the prada launch so could well have been at that. He wasn’t at the Paris fashion week appearance but he wouldn’t have been she was just a guest, likewise the Stockholm conference.
Er he’s been at her big events since 2020 so they’re clearly still working together
it makes sense why she is not with prosper like why would Emma need a pr person if she isn't in entertainment the last 3 years? you will not keep paying someone you arent using even if you are rich enough to do that it just makes little sense
Prosper don’t have a highlights reel for all their actors, including some major actors. Colin Firth who they still represent doesn’t have one either. Means nothing. Probably actors preference on how they want to be promoted - also what use does an insta reel actually have in the industry, probably very little
Luke accompanied her as a friend????? I don’t mean to be rude but you don’t have a clue. He’s her publicist. ImBd listing means diddly squat.
any questions about prada ad (her only public work at the moment) could probably be handled by her manager or Emma herself so they unlisted prosper pr maybe?
Emma doesn’t do her own pr. Team still intact. Just not as active during Covid.
IMBD is an official source controlled by the actors and their teams it shows what they want it to show for others in the industry looking to work with them.
She’s a famous person, absolutely zero chance she does not have a publicist. Absolutely everyone who has any aspirations or has worked in the business has a publicist. He’ll be on a basic retainer with extra fees for when he’s used.
she is not actively looking for work in entertainment
so doesn't need a team listed or to be on PR social media anymore
seems so simple guys there is no big deal here
Unlisting Luke, whilst still keeping him is the same reason as others have said above. She doesn’t want to be contacted by randoms. The business and press have that info separately. She did the same when she went to college.
Emma did have a highlight reel though and newer pics of her that were posted in 2020 were actively deleted going back for the last few months of 2020 so something happened around then imo
Its probably when she decided to move to directing work and thoughts he wont need highlight reel or something
"IMBD is an official source controlled by the actors and their teams"
If it was, Ataturk or whatever is called wouldn't be there though.
Maybe prosper simply can't keep actors being listed on their social media or imdb when you have no jobs booked for them to represent you during for multiple years in a row? They could think it looks odd after awhile and so just removed and deleted links to Emma?
The contacts section is legit info its why you have to pay for it, it has real phone numbers and emails of actors teams that is put there by them
other stuff on public imdb can be edited by random users like adding rumoured up coming projects or credits that have no proof
They deleted pics of lots of actors that they still represent. How is that indicative and him being at her main events isnt? People set way way way too much by IG and IMDB which are simply useful tools but tell you very little in reality. Nobody other than fans are looking at prosper’s IG, and nobody other than people who has proper industry contacts are relying on IMDB. It’s just like being in a phone book. That’s all.
IMDB is mixed info from industry professionals and the users you have to be careful with what is from real sources and what is from random users
https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/general-information/where-does-the-information-on-imdb-come-from/GGD7NGF5X3ECFKNN?ref_=helpart_nav_27
well you dont need highlights if you arent looking for roles so emma likely asked them to delete and it will come back when she wants to act again imo
She’s just tightened up who contacts her as she doesn’t want lots of scripts and media enquires, she said as much in wonderland that she wants to work with people she trusts. That doesn’t mean she’s dispensed with her team. She’ll have them on fee arrangements I’d assume. Even if she never acts again (which I think she will), if she wants to direct she’ll still need a team. She clearly trusts Luke.
Emma's manager will have contacted imdB to make them delete anything she doesnt need on there anymore
Anyone and their cat who has ever been in Hollywood has a publicist
Before people go crazy, the Ataturk thing is just listed as rumored by some rando. Anyone can add project listings.
you can see who is still on her team at earthshot awards bts vids its been strimmed down to jason, two bodyguards and a lady who i think is her new PA (luke also showed again at Bafta as said above but is missing at other events)
there there was a new social media team of 'feminist collective' but they appear to no longer being used emma doesnt post much on any sites so maybe thought she can do her own social media again mostly
Actors who are so high profile they no longer need highlight reels to show to casting agents or get auditions really don't need them for sure
IMDB is as official as Wikipedia. That Turkish thing and While We’re Young are on Emma’s!
This kind of debate show why she needs better PR lol and to be more transparent so people actually have 100% genuine confirmed news otherwise its only endless speculation and tabloid headlines
quite useless really
"IMDB is as official as Wikipedia. That Turkish thing and While We’re Young are on Emma’s!"
While We're Young was legit but has probably been abandoned but now.
There is real 100% industry sources on there but the non-pro basic IMDb can have false info the reason they can even charge for the pro-version is so people can get legit info and make it look more appealing normal site isnt as useful
Emma clearly made the decision to only give very little info about herself and her projects once or twice a year in magazines
also limited who can contact her team and cut down her social media use
So people should respect that choice tbf
time for eden to buy Imdb-Pro account and contact her manager to see if Luke still works there xD
yeah highlight reels are mainly for younger actors who are not that huge yet and have to display their work to casting people more often to get roles
emma wouldnt need one these days
"time for eden to buy Imdb-Pro account and contact her manager to see if Luke still works there xD"
I'd love to contact her manager but I'm... busy. Every day. Of every week. Of every month of every year. What a shame XD
What are people talking about?
Eden is the real manager and this blog is just a front/hoax for her team to gain insight into how fans feel so they can improve PR in the future!
We are onto you eden ;)
I can't trust any of you with my secrets, can I?
the jig is up time to bail eden! run!
ah the nonsense of these comments on the blog never fails to crack me up
Tbh if i was emma i would not want the contact info of my close associates online either even if for business reasons
Some random crazy could easily buy imdb account and start bothering people connected to my work
Its kind of wild that info is on there and not just kept offline...though maybe there is some length process about joining up that stops people from misusing the info on there?
I'm not sure how it works really
Anyone sending threatening or spam info to Emma's team or fans trying to contact her would likely face some kind of legal repercussions. Also i'd guess to even have the IMDB-Pro account in the first place you need to have a lot of checks done on you and your personal info so the police could easily find anyone using the contact info for underhanded means but I'm just guessing i've never signed up for even a standard account over there
It doesn't matter if Luke is still her PR or not, it's funny how people like to assume when they don't hear anything from Emma lol
You can get imbd pro on a free trial, and then just for a fee with email verification, it’s literally like LinkedIn premium. There’s no proper checks. It’s for people at early stages of industry who for instance are script writers or younger actors looking to contact industry professionals , or for people to use as a basic directory just like having your name in a phone book as someone said. For some having their name out there for loads of people and all opportunities is a good thing, and lots of actors and self employed industry professionals will have that to get maximum scripts and job opportunities. Other people don’t want that. Emma has clearly decided she doesn’t want that and she’s always been quality over quantity and public shy anyway so that doesn’t massively surprise me. Especially after her recent individual where she said she didn’t want to partake in the general industry, just with people she trusts and/or likes. She’s becoming more selective as she gets older, not less. She’s not willing to work with people she doesn’t like or aren’t collaborative even if it’s a good role.
God imbd pro is a just a subscription service, there’s bugger all checks.
People here hold way too much faith and stock in IMDB, including pro. It’s not used as an actual job source by any serious professional.
if IMDb had no role for professional industry people their details would not be on there
IMDB actually is widely used in the industry by serious actors (its how all the personal contact info for their teams gets on there in the firts place) and yes info there has been under fire for giving away too much real personal info about actors recently. They even had to change their site to allow actors to remove many personal details they don't feel should be required on there as people were using this info to target them and discriminate against them.
https://deadline.com/2022/12/imdb-allows-industry-professionals-to-remove-birth-dates-birth-names-from-site-1235197922/
People here hold way too much faith and stock in IMDB, including pro. It’s not used as an actual job source by any serious professional.
why was emma even on there? did she realise it is not for serious actors to be on there so removed her details?
imdb actually had to tighten security recently as it was found to be pretty easy for random people to get contact info and abuse it against actors who they dont like for whatever reason.
i think they had to re-adjust their website and the info they forced actors to post to have an account.
maybe emma removed her details as felt unsafe? i recall many people decided to backlash against her in 2020 and could have been taking advantage of phone numbers and emails that used to be in her contacts on there to harass her or her team
Its really for the public to look up stats about movies/tv, budgets, box office and ratings/reviews
For industry profesisonals its more about behind the scenes networking for the actors teams than actors getting roles themselves, like for managers and lawyers to talk to media or organize interviews and stuff like that its why all the a-listers are on there even though they dont really need to hunt roles anymore.
emma left her lawyer and manager on her page and removed anyone who wouldnt be needed in her current plans.
Hey Y'all does prosper pr have a website with a list of current clients? that would clear it up lol
Otherwise him being removed from imdb could just mean Emma doesnt need anyone contacting him for her atm, like it doesnt straight away mean he no longer works for her at all.
It is used as a source by serious professionals though? that's why actors are even on there with their contact info in the first place? lol
"Nah Luke was only seen at bafta
not eartshot, no cop26, sweden climate event,
kering dinner, pickleball show
or any of the prada dinners,
i remember cuz everyone was like "omg luke is finally at an event again!"
tbf what reason is there for him to be at non-entertainment events and fly to all these countries Emma is? makes sense he was only at Bafta the big UK entertainment event in his home country
I think Emma should try out for tv maybe a sitcom she could really make it in this league even still her deleting contacts from IMDb means too much she never should have done that makes me think what else has she been deleting? I don't think she's the Emma we knew in Harry Potter anymore but to reiterate tv is her best option a sitcom role she could be like penny from big bang theory
All it means deleting contacts is she doesnt want roles atm very simple really
Well im glad they changed the site so actors didnt have to put too much personal info anymore as it does seem kinda dangerous to allow people who might have a grudge against an actor access to certain details that used to be on there.
weird it took until 2022 for them to change how the site worked
I think people should accept her details are gone as she is moving behind the camera and is not wanting hollywood people contact her these days. Its all in her wonderland interview if you read between the lines why this all happened.
who knows how many people from random newspapers or websites no one cares about were trying to contact emma team for interviews that she didnt want
and in 2020 as someone else said media starte dto get nasty with her so i can see her pulling the plug and not wanting to be bothered during that time
She wanted to be less in the limelight and do her own thing with her friends, its understandable really.
Please read the comments again, nobody said IMDB has zero role in the industry, they said it’s a glorified phone book, which of course has a use, but that it’s not actually important or how lots of people of Emma’s ilk would get roles or be contacted by serious professionals (who would not need to get Emma’s info from IMDB).
No established industry casting agent, press officer, director etc gets an actors info from IMDB. But some networking approaches would come that way certainly from people who have written scripts or young new directors, or junior members of the press. It’d be a handy directory for them. So lots of actors would have details up in case something useful would come of it. But as others have said, Emma doesn’t want roles from strangers. She isn’t interested in the broader industry. She only wants to work with certain people, so why would she have her agent on IMDB for randoms to send him scripts?
I agree that I thought she was pretty clear about her future and plans in Wonderland. For acting roles, if Darren A, Greta, Stephen C, David Heyman and lots of others want to work with her again and the script is interesting she’s all for it, but if not she’s not. Too many directors and people in Hollywood generally are dicks and don’t care about protecting actors, crew or taking on peoples opinions, and not enough has changed since MeToo. That’s more or less what she said.
L.A seems toxic its probably better she ditched contact with mainstream industry and work by herself now
Its for media to contact her and she clearly doesn't want to be contacted last few years
thats all we can tell from her imdb activity
I notice it's only really daily fail who write articles about Emma recently and they always do a negative slant
if it was me I would also limit the access to details of my team to avoid those so-called 'journalists' trying to get comments from my agent or publicist to write vile fake news and twist whatever the agent says
well again to get real emma news we need two wiat for vogue
or some other magazine to do a direct interview with her
tabloids (especially uk based ones) are worthless
Even Vogue isn't 100% reliable. They're the ones who said took a silent retreat to deal with her break up or something along those lines and Emma had to clarify it wasn't true, which she never does.
hmmm well i can't say for certain but maybe Emma did tell them that story but later changed her mind and wanted to retract the info as it was too personal?
I just think vogue or magazines emma works with often would have a better relationship with her than tabloids and wouldn't really make things up you know? but i could be wrong
There are many rumors about Emma and "wellness retreats" ever since then in 2014
There could be something to it and she does get seen at such things or its more deuxmoi nonsense they are the ones recently talking about her being at retreats and spa's
https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/news/a47588/emma-watson-no-vow-of-silence-yoga/
from what I gather in this correction article from cosmo it says Emma did discuss a retreat in her interview but the way vogue made it seem it was 'because she broke up with her boyfriend' was underhand and trying to twist what she said. She didn't go there because of him so she made them correct the interview
pretty sure it was just a yoga course she went on in the mountains but vogue worded it to make it seem like she was struggling to get over her break up for clickbait reasons probably
I suspect what happened is that Emma said about the silent retreat and it being part of her yoga training on the record (which is what her correction was that it was yoga training and she doesn’t talk about her private life publicly). But I’d fully believe that she said to the journalist on what she thought was off the record that it helped with her break up and the journo then used it that way.
Urgh Too many Deuxmoi users think doing yoga and being at retreats mean you joined a cult
they have been trying to drag Emma with these claims for awhile
so annoying! smh
I think there was on and off-record confusion on that. The interview would have been over a few days and vogue often go to her house etc for it, so I think reporting lines blurred.
Vogue is one of Emma's most trusted partners in the industry I think it must have been some cross wires as other said and she still works with them now while no longer working with other magazines she used to so i think she still trust Vogue and is even friendly with the owner or at least i read something like that before?
Close to 50 spam comments while I was sleeping. Wonder if it's a record for the blog. But if you commented in the last 12+ hours and it wasn't published, I might have accidentally deleted it, sorry. I paid attention but we never know.
Thanks for not letting crazies post we dont need to see any of it probably lol
Is that bot back again?
Yep, German bot's back. Had been a while and they missed us I guess.
sigh...anytime you see a big debate on this blog its always the same person fighting with themself to cause drama and then when it gets boring they start spamming with this german bot they do it every year till they get bored
very strange way to spend time
I don't think anyone's fighting with themselves right now. And German bot started a few days ago, before the IMDB arguments.
Well How do bots work? is it A.I given various phrases to spam over and over?
I think maybe there is something to the blog getting more activity that suddenly triggers the bot to start writing again?
but yeah i dont know how bots work tbh
it seems to come back every janaury then goes away again maybe its set up to only work during this month lmao
I'm so glad Eden has comment moderation on these days
as clearly these bots or trolls wait till she is asleep hoping to spam nonsense to the page
its good you have security :)
my theory is that all comments here are just eden talking to herself (including this one) yes sorry eden, you wnet crazy years ago im afraid xD
I can hear an ominous music playing in the background. It explains so much!
Hey, eden are you doing a throwback post today?
Maybe it doesn't fit the blog style i dunno but was just a random idea
I do like your idea of a throwback post but I only have the time to work on something like that during the weekend.
Well dont force yourself if you are busy its only if you're having fun with it you should do it :)
her current bf is a billionaire i think her company is possible due to him maybe
Who's her current boyfriend?
That brandon guy, theres been like 2 other brandons/brendans now as well lol
