She is one of the most in-demand actresses in Hollywood, who rose to fame in the Harry Potter franchise as a child star.

And Emma Watson enjoyed a break from her hectic schedule as she stepped out for a lunch date with a friend in Primrose Hill on Friday.

The Hermione Granger actress, 29, donned a canary yellow sweater paired with slate grey cropped trousers for her relaxed lunch meeting.

Keeping the look comfortable, she donned navy brogues and accessorised with a leather handbag.

Showcasing her radiant visage, the Beauty and the Beast star went make-up free while her tresses were styled sleek and straight.

Looking in good spirits, the star cracked a relaxed smile as she walked along chatting with her friend.

The Brown’s graduate has taken on the role of eldest sister Meg March in Greta Gerwig’s adaptation of the Louisa May Alcott novel.

The period drama tells the tale of four sisters, as they come of age in an America still covering from the Civil War.

The original novel, penned by Louisa May Alcott was published in two volumes in 1868 and 1869 but has remained a popular tale.

In 1994, Winona Ryder starred in another remake as Josephine March, a young women who dreams of becoming a successful author.

And in 2017, The BBC aired a miniseries version of the novel which featured Michael Gambon and Angela Lansbury.

Saoirse Ronan and Emma will star alongside Florence Pugh, Timothée Chalamet, and Meryl Streep in the latest box office offering which is slated for release on Christmas Day 2019.

It will be directed by Greta Gerwig, who earned much critical acclaim last year for her work on the coming of age film Lady Bird, which also earned Saiorse an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress.

Emma’s role was originally intended for Emma Stone, according to Variety, who reported that she was unable to commit to the role, as she is currently working on The Favourite.
