Fans suspect Harry Potter actress Emma Watson's Instagram account may have been hacked after she posted unusual low-resolution images with no caption.

Fans of Harry Potter actress Emma Watson have expressed concern that her Instagram account may have been compromised after she posted an unusual update. The post consisted of a carousel of three low-resolution photographs showing scenes from the upcoming film Wicker, which is scheduled for UK cinema release on Friday 30 October. The images were accompanied by only emojis in the caption, with no accompanying text.

Watson, 36, is known for rarely posting on social media and maintaining a private life away from the public eye. She joined Oxford University in 2023 to study for a master's in creative writing before switching to a DPhil in literature. She grew up in Oxford and attended Headington School before becoming famous for her role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films.

Social media users responded with speculation about the account's security. One fan commented: 'I fear she's been hacked guys…' Another wrote: 'Are you hacked or something lol?' A third added: 'I don't know if the account is hacked, but I love you.' The film Wicker stars Olivia Colman, Alexander Skarsgård, Elizabeth Debicki, Richard E. Grant and Peter Dinklage.
