Watson also reflected on her breakthrough appearance playing Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films as she interviewed Steinem, who has published her book My Life On The Road, for a special event held by the How To Academy.
She said: I feel as though I spent a long time trying to pretend I was not like Hermione. And, of course, I was rather like Hermione. I've finally come to accept the fact.
