Emma Watson is NOT quitting acting, confirms actress' manager as he quashes retirement rumours.

Emma Watson's fans may be heaving a sigh of relief as the actress' manager has quashed rumours of the actress retiring from acting anytime soon. It all started when a report in Daily Mail claimed that Emma's agent said that her career is now “dormant” and she will be taking a step back from acting to focus on her relationship with boyfriend Leo Robinton.

The Daily Mail quoted a source saying, "Emma has gone underground, she is settling down with Leo. They're laying low. Maybe she wants a family." However, the Harry Potter star's manager Jason Weinberg, at Untitled Entertainment, has shot back saying that's not the case.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Jason said in a statement, "Emma's social media accounts are dormant but her career isn't." Initial rumours of Emma Watson's retirement shook many fans who took to social media to celebrate the actress' films and characters. She quickly began trending on Twitter with fans even paying tributes.

"Emma Watson Retiring is something very personal to every Potterhead. No I will not be Getting Over this!!" wrote one fan. While another tweeted, "The 1st Crush You will always be my Hermione Granger and thanks for everything, Emma Watson! MY forever and EVER QUEEN #EmmaWatson @EmmaWatson (sic)."

However, with the fresh update from her manager, one Twitter user urged fans to stop paying tributes. He wrote, "Emma Watson isn't retiring guys, stop sharing your Harry Potter scene shots. #EmmaWatson."
