Emma Watson took to Instagram on January 5 to share the photo in question from the “Harry Potter” special with her own comment on what happened. “I was NOT this cute,” Watson wrote with a crying laughing emoji. She also tagged Emma Roberts and hashtagged the photo #EmmaSistersForever. The commenters all jumped in to share their own humorous input on the mixup.
But then Roberts also chimed in shortly after Watson posted. She shared Watson’s Instagram post on her Instagram Story, writing, “Haha! I don’t believe that!” She also included two kiss emojis and the dancing twins emojis. To be honest, we can almost see how the mistake happened — they’re both named Emma, they’re about the same age, and Roberts’ childhood picture does look like it could pass for Watson! Nevertheless, with a little bit of magic, it has now been corrected in the HBO Max special, so viewers will see the true tiny Hermione when they watch the documentary.
