In other Harry Potter news, Emma Watson just wrote the sweetest tribute in honor of the 20th anniversary of the first Harry Potter movie in the franchise, Harry Potter & The Sorcerer’s Stone.
On Tuesday (November 16), the 31-year-old Hermione Granger actress took to social media to write a poignant, heartfelt tribute expressing how much she values her Harry Potter experience.
Along with a few behind-the-scenes photos on the Harry Potter film sets, Emma wrote:
“Harry Potter was my home, my family, my world and Hermione (still is) my favorite fictional character of all time. I think a journalist once said it was irritating how many times during an interview I mentioned how lucky I was and started counting… BUT I DAMN WELL KNEW!!! And still know.
I am proud not just of what we as group contributed as actors to the franchise but also as the children that became young adults that walked that path. I look at my fellow cast members now and I am just so proud of who everyone has become as people. I am proud we were kind to each other that we supported one another and that we held up something meaningful.”
She also thanked all the fans who have continued to adore and love the films and the novels, and the fantastic crew behind the films:
“Thank you to the fans that have continued to show their support well after the last chapter closed. The magic of the world wouldn’t exist without you. Thank you for fighting to make it such an inclusive and loving place.
I still miss the crew who made these films all the time. Thank you for all of your hard work too – I know your contributions sometimes get overlooked.”
