Education is important, and it can be challenging to pursue a degree when playing a major role in an eight-film-long series as a child actor. After Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2, the last movie of the franchise, Emma took a step back from acting to focus on her education and activism. A real-life Hermoine, we must agree.
