Emma Watson officially said goodbye to her years as Hermione Granger when she decided to make a bold and “liberating” move: she cut her hair.

The 20-year-old, who kept her shearing plans to herself, revealed the new look to fans through Facebook and Twitter.

“Yes, I cut my hair off a few days ago! I love it- feels incredible. Hope you like it!,” the Harry Potter star tweeted about her Mia Farrow-esque style. “I’ve wanted to do this for years and years; it’s the most liberating thing ever,” she added on her wall.

So did Watson have any regrets the minute she saw her strands hit the floor? “It was weird. My hairdresser was like, ‘When are you going to freak out?’ Most people cry or go into shock,’” she recalled to EW. “But I was very calm. I knew it was the right thing.”

“I missed all that experimentation that most teenagers go through,” Watson explained. “I’ve wanted to do this since I was about 16, so as soon as I had the chance I was like, ‘Right. This is it.’”
