MailOnline has contacted Emma’s representatives for comment. 

Since finding fame on the J.K Rowling franchise, Emma has gone on to use her platform to promote sustainable fashion and environmental living. 

The actress lent her name to a line of clothing for ethical brand People Tree and last year, she joined the board of directors of Kering, a luxury brand group, in her capacity as an advocate for sustainable fashion.

She also once wore a CO2 emission-reducing dress made from recycled plastic bottles by Calvin Klein and a cruelty-free coat by Stella McCartney to the Met Gala.
