Forget polyjuice potion, Emma Watson has revealed she’s been drinking wine since she was just a kid.

The Harry Potter star, 33, said in a new interview that she never knew why teenagers saw booze as ‘forbidden fruit’ because she’d been introduced to it at a young age.

Emma explained that because she was used to having ‘wine and water over lunch’, other youngsters’ excitement over getting their hands on alcohol ‘confused’ her.

‘I was quite surprised when other kids got really excited about the idea of getting their hands on alcohol,’ she explained.

According to MailOnline, the activist added to the Financial Times’ How To Spend It magazine: ‘My dad would give me wine and water for lunch since I was a kid.

‘So I was pretty confused as a teenager and everyone thought alcohol was a forbidden fruit.’

The A-lister’s remarks come shortly after she made her grand return to social media and offered fans an uncharacteristically intimate life update.

Emma explained that she’d ‘stepped away from life’ over the past couple of years and went into great detail about what she’d been up to.

From learning to surf to adopting a dog and even ripping off a fingernail, she gave fans a no holds barred peek into her life.

Alongside a striking black and white image of herself, Emma wrote: ‘This is 33. Holy moly. Before 29 I hadn’t even heard of a Saturn Return as a concept.’

The Little Women star went on: ‘Let’s just say that now I am well acquainted. I stepped away from my life – I learned to surf (badly), I rode some horses (that went better), I did a lot of therapy (YESS therapy!).

‘My brother and I figured out how to make a gin using recycled wine grapes!?  (@renaisspirits) I adopted Sofia in Mexico, who seems to be an angel not a dog.’

Emma added: ‘We filmed a Harry Potter reunion. I said goodbye to my Grandma and Grandpa. I retraced my steps. I started a women’s environmental investment fund.

‘I played Pickleball with @sugarrayleonard and I even played golf and then tried to make all of my girlfriends learn too.

‘I cut my thumb nail off on both hands trying to cook for myself and then was only able to do things one handed for months.

‘I felt really sad and really pissed off about a lot of things. I learned more about love and being a woman.’

She concluded: ‘It took me three years but I have finally figured out a daily practice and can actually keep it for more than a few days in a row. I burned some things down. I eat green things now!

‘I got obsessed with making Squarespace websites. I directed my first commercial.
