Recently, fans have been wondering why Watson seemed to have 'disappeared' as she was no longer being seen in movies or active on social media, prompting rumours of early retirement.

The rumours were further ignited by an article by The Daily Mail that claimed that the retirement was so that she could settle down with her partner, Leo Robinton.

Reacting to the rumours, Watson's manager Jason Weinberg debunked them, saying that her film career isn't over.

Speaking to EW, Weinberg said, "Emma's social media accounts are dormant but her career isn't."

It's good to know that Watson is still in the movie business as she will surely be missed if she does decide to quit acting now.
