Fans took to Twitter to point out that the team accidentally used a childhood image of Emma Roberts instead of Emma Watson. The picture was used while Watson was discussing her childhood and how she became obsessed with the ‘Harry Potter’ series. During her narration, a photo of a young girl wearing Mickey Mouse ears, flashes on the screens. Interestingly, fans were quick to note that it was actually Roberts in the picture and not Watson.
“Tears flowing down my face that is not Emma Watson that is Emma Roberts,” a fan said while sharing a screenshot of the actress’ post from 2012.
“But my goodness, couldn’t the producers/writers/whoever fact check? They showed a picture of young Emma Roberts thinking it’s Emma Watson,” said another in a tweet.
