HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Emma Watson is making a splash with a short haircut that is a stark contrast from the Hermione curls she flashed in the Harry Potter movies.
The 20-year-old British star revealed her new look by posting a photo on Facebook, telling fans the experience of chopping off her hair was "liberating."
"Dear all. Cut my hair off a few days ago... Feels incredible," Watson said Thursday. "I love it. I've wanted to do this for years and years; it's the most liberating thing ever. Hope you like."
While many fans applauded Watson for her new style, others were less enthusiastic, including one who remarked: "Should we call you Sinead O' Watson now?"
Watson wrapped shooting on the final Harry Potter film in the spring. The Ivy Leaguer returns for her second year at Brown University in the fall.
