No you're not seeing double. Emma Watson and her Harry Potter and the Cursed Child counterpart Noma Dumezweni have come face-to-face at last!
The original Hermione Granger shared her heartwarming first meeting with Noma on Twitter while visiting the Cursed Child cast backstage in London.
"It was SO lovely to meet you @MissDumezweni. #Hermiones," Watson tweeted.
JK Rowling also recently lent her hearty support to the casting of Oliver Award winner Noma Dumezweni as the adult Hermione.
While Watson is clearly comfortable seeing a new version of Hermione in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, her co-star Daniel Radcliffe seems a bit less willing.
"I feel like I want to see the show. I am genuinely intrigued and I've heard it's fantastic," he recently told The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

"But I just feel sitting in an audience of what will for most of the near future be very enthusiastic Harry Potter fans might not be a relaxing way to see a show."
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is currently running at the Palace Theatre in London.
