Emma took a complete hiatus from acting so that she could focus on her education. But she previously confirmed that she hasn’t completely retired from the field yet.
After completing high school, the actress was busy filming the last two installments in the Harry Potter movie franchise and then took a gap year.
She then enrolled at Brown University to study English, but she continued acting on the side.

Instead of graduating in four years, the former child star took five years to complete her degree because she worked on films like My Week With Marilyn, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Bling Ring, This Is the End, and Noah in between.
The very last time she appeared on the big screen was for Greta Gerwig’s 2019 adaptation of the classic Little Women.

The British actress started an MA in creative writing at Oxford University in 2023 and then reportedly enrolled in a PhD program at the same prestigious institution.
She was part of Oxford University’s rowing team in the school’s annual Summer Eights rowing regatta on the Thames River earlier this year.

While talking about her decision to step back from acting, Emma spoke about feeling “caged” and having to “sell something” she didn’t have much control over.
“I think I felt a bit caged,” she said in a 2023 interview with Financial Times just before starting her Master’s education.

“The thing I found really hard was that I had to go out and sell something that I really didn’t have very much control over,” she continued. “To stand in front of a film and have every journalist be able to say, ‘How does this align with your viewpoint?’”
“It was very difficult to have to be the face and the spokesperson for things where I didn’t get to be involved in the process,” she added.

Emma was thrust into stardom since the age of 11, playing Hermione Granger in all eight Harry Potter films.
She spoke about early fame during a televised reunion special with her co-stars in 2022.
“I did find a diary entry [from the time] that was kind of like … I could see that at times I was lonely. The fame thing had really hit home in a big way,” she said.
She told co-star Rupert Grint during the appearance: “I think I was scared. I don’t know if you ever felt like it got to a tipping point where you were like, ‘This is kind of forever now.’”

The following year, Emma expressed happiness in taking back control over her life.
“I’m just so glad that I did [step away from acting] because I have this feeling of having my own voice and creative space and sovereignty in some way that I don’t think I did before – more autonomy,” she told British Vogue in 2023.
“I’m so glad that I allowed things to be messy for a minute and to really allow myself to not know [what’s next], because the knowing that I’ve come to, I wouldn’t trade that for anything,” she added.

Emma’s recent outing in France came after a July court hearing banned her from driving in the UK for six months for speeding.
The actress was also made to pay a total of £1,044 ($1,403) for driving her blue Audi at 38mph in a 30mph zone in Oxford on the evening of July 31 last year.
“Looks like she’s pregnant,” one commented on her hiking attire

Ok, but if it is summer and I have spent the day at the beach/lake/whatever, I have a similar cover up that I use if I have to hit the store quick, or if I am walking around the area vs just chilling in my bikini. Did anyone think that maybe that is what is going on here?

She looks fine... I've seen worse on the city centre streets here. One girl was wearing a white vest top but it was thin material. You could see her nipples. If you go outside in clothes such as that? You're going to get comments and possibly worse. It's highly very unfair but if you're sexu ally as saulted? (spaces there to try and bypass the censors) you're probably going to be asked... What were you wearing? It doesn't matter what I was wearing tbh but if you deliberately go out wearing next to nothing? All sorts of things can happen. It's not fair because anyone who assaults someone? YOU were in full control of yourself. YOU made that choice. It doesn't matter how I was dressed... You were the one who decided to do it.

It's just a cover up . She is wearing a modest bikini and a cover up , not a dress. My wife has a few of these.
