    The star has revealed she would like to take time out of the spotlight when she's finished promoting the final Harry Potter films

    Harry Potter star Emma Watson is reportedly considering a break from acting, and could be stepping out of the spotlight following the release of the series’ final film.

    The star – who was spotted leaving trendy London hotspot, Bungalow 8 last night – is currently studying at prestigious American university, Brown, and in the past has joked about being ‘the worst person’ in acting class at the Ivy League education centre.

    After losing out on a role in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, now it seems Emma’s seriously considering stepping our of the spotlight, telling friends: ‘I really think I need to recharge my batteries.

    'I think I need to find some real belief in myself away from acting,' she reportedly said.

    'I know that I can play Hermione but I don’t know… I really think I need to recharge my batteries and go and be me for a bit.'

    How to WIN Harry Potter premiere tickets! - Emma Watson, Deathly Hallows, Marie Claire

    Just last week, the blonde beauty told fans she was preparing for her return to her US university.

    'Starting to get ready to go back to Brown, the summer has flown,' she told followers on Facebook last week.

    But lucky Em still managed to find time for one last relaxing getaway, jetting off for some sunshine with her family.

    'Just back from an amazing holiday with my family,' she wrote yesterday. 'So nice just to chill out in the sunshine... Now I'm back in London for a quick turnaround before flying to the US ready for the start of term.'

    After filming five Harry Potter films, do you think Emma has earned a well-deserved break? Let us know your thoughts in the comments box below.
