Emma Watson celebrated her 33rd birthday by reflecting on a year that included making gin, surfing, therapy and setting up an environmental investment fund for women.

The actress, best known for her portrayal of Hermione Granger in all eight “Harry Potter” films, said she had “learned more about love and being a woman” in the last year.

Watson, born April 15, 1990, has taken a break from social media since a previous post on Instagram in December 2022.

In a post on the social media site for her birthday, Watson wrote: “I’ve been stepping back from my life – I’ve learned to surf (badly), I’ve been horseback riding (got better), I’ve been doing a lot of therapy (YES, therapy!).

“My brother and I discovered how to make gin from recycled grapes!?”

Watson is also known for the 2019 historical drama Little Women, the 2017 Disney live-action musical Beauty and the Beast, and the 2012 coming-of-age story The Man Who Knew Too Much.

She also said, “I was really sad and really angry about a lot of things. I learned more about love and about being a woman.”

Watson added: “It took me three years, but now I’ve finally developed a daily habit and can actually maintain it for more than a few days at a time. I’ve burned off some things. I’m eating green stuff now!”

She also mentioned the filming of the reunion show “Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: ​​Return To Hogwarts,” which aired in January 2022.

In the HBO special, she admitted she had a “crush” on her co-star Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy. She also reunited with Daniel Radcliffe, who starred as Harry Potter, and Rupert Grint, who played Ron Weasley.

The stars directed the fantasy films based on the books by JK Rowling, from “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone,” which came out in 2001, to “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2” in 2011.

Watson is also known for her commitment to women’s rights, being named a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador in 2014 and helping to launch the UN Women HeForShe campaign, which advocates for gender equality.

She added: “I said goodbye to my grandma and grandpa. I followed the same path as before. I founded an environmental investment fund for women.”

In August, she made her directorial debut with a short film to launch Prada’s new women’s fragrance – which she also mentioned in her annual review.

Watson also said, “I cut off the thumbnails on both hands trying to cook for myself and then could only do everything with one hand for months.”

She added that she “thanked” her “witches” in her coven, whom she referred to as her “Avengers,” for helping her become who she is today, along with her brother Alex Watson. She also said she is “obsessed” with stylist and creative director Jessica Diehl.

Watson said: “It takes a village, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.”

The actress also shared a series of black and white photos showing her in various outfits, including shorts, dresses and jackets, taken on her birthday last year.
