Emma Watson has been accused of exploiting her former co-star's death.
The Harry Potter star paid tribute to Alan Rickman on Twitter who died last week aged 69 after a battle with cancer.
"I'm very sad to hear about Alan." Watson wrote. "I feel so lucky to have worked and spent time with such a special man and actor. I'll really miss our conversations. RIP Alan. We love you."

However, Watson is facing a backlash after outraged fans said she was using Rickman's passing to "push her feminist agenda".
