"While I was in London it was completely upside-down. I got a whole new life and it was a challenge to keep in touch with my life in Ireland, but it was great fun. Now though, I've been back home since November and gradually all connections with my HP life have been fading"
About this Quote
The smart, quietly bracing move is how she names “my HP life” as a separate category, almost a parallel identity. It’s not “my job,” it’s a world with its own gravity. That phrasing admits something fans rarely want to hear: the person you watched onscreen can’t live there indefinitely, even if the audience does.
Then comes the comedown: “gradually” and “fading.” No melodrama, just erosion. She’s capturing the most honest part of post-blockbuster life: the way intensity doesn’t end with a bang but with a thinning of connections, invitations, and adrenaline. It’s also a gentle boundary-setting. The fun was real; the return is realer. The subtext is adulthood: choosing continuity over spectacle, and letting the myth loosen its grip without pretending it never mattered.
