It is rare that Ms Watson posts on her social media, with the actress preferring to keep her life private from the cameras.
The famous Oxford student uploaded an Instagram post this afternoon, but fans fear she has been hacked.
The upload consisted of a carousel of three photos, all in low resolution and showing shots from the upcoming film Wicker.
The film, which is released in UK cinemas on Friday (October 30), stars Olivia Colman, Alexander Skarsgard, Elizabeth Debicki, Marlee Siu, Nabhan Rizwan, Richard E. Grant and Peter Dinklage.
