Emma, who played Hermione Granger in the boy wizard films, shared a string of pics with her 72million Instagram followers, and thousands of comments flooded in.

One fan wrote: “You know you are successful when you don’t even put a caption and you get 65,000 likes in less than eight minutes.”

Emma has taken a step back from acting but has become an ambassador for the Italian fashion house, where she is riding the crest of a wave.

After Hogwarts, she should be used to boarding school.

We recently revealed how Emma, who recently split from her boyfriend of 18 months Brandon Green, has been enjoying quality time with American businessman Ryan Walsh.

The pair have been seen soaking up the sun in Venice and having dinner with friends in the Italian city.

A source said: “Emma loves a bloke who can match her intelligence.

“She is a very clever woman and her boyfriends have always been very brainy.

“As well as Brandon, who is an executive at his dad Philip Green’s company, she has been linked to tech CEOs William “Mack” Knight, Brendan Iribe and Brendan Wallace.

“Ryan is a very intelligent man too and Emma seems to be enjoying spending time with him.

“They have known each other for some time and now she is single she is making sure she enjoys herself.”

Ryan has held a number of roles within the tech world and three years ago founded a tech consultancy firm in LA.
