She’s been working hard on her next major role in the live action remake of Beauty and the Beast.
But on Saturday Emma Watson took a much deserved day off from the ballgowns and Disney magic to spend some time with her pals.
The 25-year-old actress looked delighted to be enjoying an afternoon with her friends as they hit the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh.

Emma dressed down for her arty day out, and seemed keen to keep cosy in the chillier Scottish weather as she layered a huge winter coat over a striped top and black cardigan.
The actress added a pair of jeans and Barbour wellies to her wet-weather look, as it looked like the group were planning on a walk after their gallery excursion.
Emma finished off her ensemble with sunglasses and left her hair loose as she joked around with her pals.

The star has been enjoying some down time recently in between working on her new movie, the upcoming live action remake of Beauty And The Beast.
Emma said that her six year old self was ‘on the ceiling’ last month as she announced the news that she would play the lead role of Belle, on her Facebook page.
And, speaking to The Telegraph about the role for the first time, Emma revealed that the role will be a challenging one, that involves singing.

She said: ‘I sing, so that’s really unexpected. I’ve never had to do that for a film role before, and I think people will be interested to see me do something very different like that.
‘It gives me a different challenge, really. That’s terrifying in and of itself!’
Next up, Emma will be working with the producer of Harry Potter – in which she found fame as Hermoine Granger – David Heyman to produce on a multipart adaptation of fantasy series Queen Of The Tearling, which marks the first time she has produced a project too.
Speaking to Total Film in March, Emma said she wanted to ‘dip her toes in’ and ‘go full steam ahead’ with the career.
