But a bigger component than the actual job itself is the promotion and selling of that piece of work, this piece of art. The balance of that can get quite thrown off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She added, \u201cI think I\u2019ll be honest and straightforward, and say: I do not miss selling things. I found that to be quite soul-destroying. But I do very much miss using my skill-set, and I very much miss the art.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">When asked about a possible return to showbiz, she said, \u201cI think I\u2019d consider everything.\u201d Watson adds she is looking to strike a greater balance in her life before even considering a return.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThe most important thing, really\u2014or the foundation of your life\u2014is your home and friends and family. I think I worked so hard for so long that my life sort of bottomed out. The bottom fell out of the piece, which was actually me and my life. So I needed to go and do some construction work. Some good foundations for anything else to grow from.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">No doubt, much of what Emma said makes sense. But setting that aside, whenever and in whatever capacity her comeback happens, it\u2019s quite certain fans will be waiting to shower her with love.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/harry-potter-reboot-opens-door-192449524.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: Harry Potter Reboot Opens Door for Voldemort Casting but with a Twist;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Related: Harry Potter Reboot Opens Door for Voldemort Casting but with a Twist<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After cementing herself synonymous with Harry Potter\u2019s Hermione Granger and delivering several acclaimed projects, Emma Watson made her last appearance in 2019\u2019s\u00a0Little Women\u00a0before seemingly going MIA in Hollywood.
