Emma Watson quits 'Harry Potter'?
Sunday, March 18 2007, 10:03 GMT

By Daniel Kilkelly

Emma Watson has decided not to sign up for the final two Harry Potter movies, according to a report in the News of the World today.

The actress, who plays Hermione Granger in the films, has told producers that she wants to try other roles and turned down a new £2 million-per-movie offer.

Watson's co-star Rupert Grint, better known as Ron Weasley, admitted that he and Daniel Radcliffe (Harry) no longer speak to the 16-year-old.

"Emma doesn't want to do it any more," Rupert explained. "She's tired of being known as ‘that girl from Harry Potter'. Daniel and I are distant from her now. We don't text or talk to her when we are not filming."

The newspaper claims that it has received confirmation from Warner Brothers that Emma has not signed up for the final films.

[Mentiroso]

Pervert or not, I hope she ends up in Hustler!

[Jamesadin]

This sucks! Losing the original Dumbledore was bad enough (but what can you do?), but this is terrible! One of the most important parts of these films is watching how the actor's charictors grow!

[Scarfather]

It's cute how she pretends she has free will and isn't owned by Warner Bros.

They'll double the paycheck. She'll be back.

I agree, they can't lose her now. Can you imagine the bullshit of getting somone else to play Hermione? No one will accept a new actress.

That and she is a complete idiot turning it down. Not only could she make another 4 million pounds (9 million U.S.) but now movie history will remember that she bolted out at the last second and she'll be ridiculed for it the rest of her life.

And by the way, she's afraid that everyone will just know her as Hermione in her career. Too late babe, you'll always been Hermione now no matter what you do.

[Cronos]

i like this news :D

Yes, me too. This could mean that it will be that much sooner that she gets desperate and goes the artistic artsy-fartsy route to prove herself as an "actress", and will get naked in said film in order to prove that she's no longer that Girl From Harry Potter.

Maybe it'll be her and Scarlett Johansson together in the same movie, eh?

Yes the one of two reason i even watch those movies is her and would LOVE to see that or in Playboy ! ! ! ! !

[Vong]

I hope she stays on. It would be a shame for her not to complete the series when there are only 2 more movies to go...

[Backstabba]

No!

Think of the children!
and me

[jolanar]

As much as it would suck to lose her, I'm sure they can find someone good enough to replace her. Just write out some of her scenes in the next movie to make her less important, that way it's a gradual adjustment to the new actress playing Hermione.

At the end of the day, no matter what it takes Warner Bros. *will* make the last two Harry Potter films. We can take comfort in that at least.

Hopefully it's just a rumor though.

[therealjohng]

I would be....I don't know...really mad and disappointed if she didn't return. She's like, the second reason why I watch the films. She's so fucking good in those flicks.

[Badbird]

I heard she's not really interesting in acting beyond making these movies.

I can see how huge a burden it would be. She's been doing this for six years - about a third of her life. I imagine the grind would get to her. Ultimately I think it would be too bad if she quite. I think it's something she would regret later in life as these movies are really something special and unique.

Not to mention she is set for life as far as money goes.

Watson Not Quitting Role as Hermione Granger in Potter Films

Posted by: Sue - March 18, 2007

There have been a spate of claims over the past few months stating that actress Emma Watson may or may not return in her role as Hermione Granger in the last two Harry Potter films, and this reached a fevered pitch over the weekend with several tabloid reports stating that she was definitely quitting. Here is a bit of news that will perhaps ease the fears of the scores of you who emailed: CBBC Newsround is now reporting today quotage from official sources that are laying to rest all these rumors, as WB said "We're extremely confident that Emma will be back for films six and seven." The report continues with this : "Emma, who plays Hermione in the films, is set to sign her new contract soon."

Very good news!

[chasingbanky]

How ungrateful can you be? Most actual actors would die for something like this, and instead of just jamming out two more movies for the good of everyone involved and the people who put her on the map, she's just going to bail? She's on the C-word list in my book.

[bourahioro]

I think it was Elderpredator that said "she'll be known as the girl from Harry Potter, Hermione Granger for life." and I agree, it doesn't matter what she does, she'll always be looked at as Hermione, it's the same as Daniel Radcliffe doing the play he's in - everyone is like "Harry Potter NAKED!!!" no matter what those kids do, they're the Potter kids for life.


I hope she's signing the contract for the 6th and 7th movies, I like her in the role.

[BorderEevilIII]

The series is coming to the end.....
She is getting a PHAT Paycheck which I don't mind having soooooo i'd stick around for the last 2........

[moviemaniac8210]

So who do you think would make a good Hermione if she doesn't return?

[bourahioro]

I think that they should get an unknown, like they did when they got Emma.

Good news indeed! Thanks for the update.

[RustyRazor]

She might get typecast (Christopher Reeve got caught up in that with Superman) but she could definitely change her look to move away from that character if she wanted to.

Take the money and get a haircut, Emms.
You're young yet. It'll be just fine.

[Shockwave]

She could do it and still have a career easy. Shes young enough to keep on rolling forward if she has the skill for it.


They will just wind up upping the pay.

[bourahioro]

well, looks like edonline's source was reliable, as on the main joblo.com page has reported that Emma's out.




stupid fucker, she is.:mad:

Until WB or Emma Watson herself confirms it, it's just an internet rumor.

[Shockwave]

Well, it is a huge undertaking that will take years away from her if shes interested in other things, so im not going to hate her for it or anything.

I do wish she would stay, but i think she wont be that hard to replace.

[Scorpio24]

Good Lord.

How dare this girl make a decision about her own future and career and not seek out the advice of Harry Potter fans first. Unreal. :rolleyes:

Good on her I say. If this is what she wants to do go for it. Turning down that kind of money at her age? She's got my respect.

I dissagree that she will always be known as Hermione as well. She's a good enough actress to thrive in other tougher roles.

[AndrewDB]

"She's tired of being known as ‘that girl from Harry Potter'.

I hate to say this, but, she's a dumb bitch if she thinks she'll be known for anything else in the next few years. A dumb gorgeous looking bitch, but a dumb bitch none the less.

[yorrick brown]

i can see where shes coming from but in my book its a dumb idea.its not like holyywood is knocking on her door and what else has she starred in..zip zero.big mistake she can look forward to a career in soaps or posing nude

[therealjohng]

If she doesn't sign on to these last two movies, I would seriously consider not going to them.

I'm sure you'd consider it, but you'll still go haha. If you liked the first 5, at least.

I mean, you have TWO MORE to see, right? Why not go to the theaters and enjoy it on the big screen?

Well since it's the Potter fans who have been lining her pockets these past few years, it would be fair for her to consider them.

Watson is not just some random checkout girl turning down vast wads of cash at a tender age...she probably already has enough tucked away to last her several luxurious lifetimes.

This isn't about money...AT ALL.

It's about her 'bailing out' early despite the fact that fans have invested in her and she's been given the opportunity of a lifetime by J.K Rowling et al.

It all seems a wee bit selfish to me...as if she feels she has outgrown the franchise and has forgotten what winning this role meant in the first place. What it meant to her career, her finances, her life.

It doesn't matter if she does 4 or 40 HP's...she will always be Hermione to most. In the same way that Connery will always be Bond, Ford will always be Han Solo...defining a role hasn't exactly harmed their careers has it?

I don't see why Watson should not complete this movie series. She should value the opportunity dearly...these books/films and the fans made her. She no Jodie Foster, but if she pays her dues she will win over a loyal fanbase who will no doubt follow her career for many years to come, and I'm sure she will pick up many new fans along the way.

Yes in the same way somebody working in a store selling fruit and veg should consider checking if it's ok with the customers if she quits or moves to a better job first? After all they are the ones paying her wages.

Do you know her personaly then? If so apologies. You obvioulsy have a more accurate feel for whats going on.

She's not married to the frigging role. She's given as much back to it as she has recieved. How many years has she been doing this for? How many people has she given happiness to by playing this role? Half the people seem like they are more upset they won't be able to wank to her on screen. :confused:

No matter how much money she has, and i'm sure it's plenty. 2 million is ALOT of money to turn down. Christ people throw these numbers around like it's nothing these days.

It all seems a wee bit selfish to me...as if she feels she has outgrown the franchise and has forgotten what winning this role meant in the first place. What it meant to her career, her finances, her life.

The hypocrisy is astounding.

It's selfish to want to move on with your life but it's not selfish to expect a young girl to give up another few years of her life for something she no longer wants to do?

Christ almighty she's a human being if she wants to do other things let it go. Like I said it's not like she just turned up took a pycheck and shouted "See ya later" She's invested alot of her life into these projects. Alot of people have had great satisfaction out of her in the role. Selfish seems a crazy word for it.


It doesn't matter if she does 4 or 40 HP's...she will always be Hermione to most. In the same way that Connery will always be Bond, Ford will always be Han Solo...defining a role hasn't exactly harmed their careers has it?.

Well no argument here really. I see Ford more as Indiana Jones more than Solo and there's been other instances where poeple have left their former tag behind.


I don't see why Watson should not complete this movie series. She should value the opportunity dearly...these books/films and the fans made her. She no Jodie Foster, but if she pays her dues she will win over a loyal fanbase who will no doubt follow her career for many years to come, and I'm sure she will pick up many new fans along the way.

You don't see it because it's not your life. You're only concerned about having the series finished properly. I haven't read one argument or statement about this yet that comes off as anything other than people being pissed off becasue the series isn't being finished the way they demand. How dare an actor or actress leave before we say. How dare she have a life where she wants to make decisions about her work. How dare she not commit another chunk of her life to something she doesn't want to do. How dare her......THIS IS HARRY POTTER!!!!

I have to laugh though. If she pays her dues? Years and years out of her childhood spent commited to these projects just isn't enough I guess.

It's a good job you're not part of it then.

Is that humor?


You're right though. I say we force her back into this. Forget free will froce her play a part that she's obvioulsy lost interest in. That way even if she puts in a half hearted perfoemance at least peole can still knock one out.

Like I said. Society hurts my head.

Yes because £5.25 an hour flogging taters and tomatoes down at Lidl is comparable with a few million in the bank and the respect and adoration of millions of people the world over...not to mention the other perks that are part and parcel of a successful acting career.

I'm not going to be terribly diplomatic about this. You're bemoaning the 'hardships' of a young beautiful girl with a brilliant career at her feet who (if we are to believe these rumours) is ready to throw it all back in the face of people who have given her the chance of a lifetime.

The thing is she HASN'T given back as much as she has received because she has received something fucking HUGE, and she's been paid a ludicrous amount of money for the privelage to boot...she'll probably never be able to thank people enough. She's a very lucky lady, and we shouldn't be bitter about this...but be realistic ferchrisake!

I'm not saying it's nothing. But Watson turning down a couple of million is not comparable with Joe Schmoe doing the same. Besides according to the article she is considering giving up the films for her own gain, i.e. fear of being typecast...it's NOT that she doesn't want to act any more she simply DOESN'T WANT TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FILMS THAT MADE HER A FUCKING STAR.

As for "the hypocrisy" being astounding...do stop being a drama queen, we're arguing over Harry Potter, not 9/11.

Wrong. Unlike others, I couldn't care less if they hauled somebody new in to play Hermione tomorrow. I love the films, she seems like an okay young lady, but I'm not attached to her as an actress. I just think she's making a huge mistake...one she'll live to regret.

SHE HAS STILL HAD A CHILDHOOD??? She's not being worked like a fucking dog now is she? She's had a childhood consisting of her doing the thing she quite clearly always dreamt of doing...oh and travelling the world, frollicking on a film set with British legends, attending movie premieres, accumulating vast amounts of money ready for her to live a comfortable adult life, having a top class tutor, being surrounded by many, MANY kids her own age...etc, etc, ETC!!! She's not out picking cotton or down a mine covered in shit with only a canary for company!!!

You really need to put things into perspective here.

It is EXACTLY the same premise. You said and I quote "Well since it's the Potter fans who have been lining her pockets these past few years" Well since it's been the Lidl customers making sure Jane Doe gets paid I would assume another double standard is in order. Fuck the perks and things that go with it. That's not the argument.

The scale of the wage has got DICK to do with the argument.



Yes I know her personally *cue :rolleyes: smiley*...Jesus.

My bad. You just seem to be able to speak for her on what and why.

I'm not going to be terribly diplomatic about this. You're bemoaning the 'hardships' of a young beautiful girl with a brilliant career at her feet who (if we are to believe these rumours) is ready to throw it all back in the face of people who have given her the chance of a lifetime.

Christ i'm not bemoaning any hardships. I've said she has put alot into this. What I am fucking bemoaning is listening to rubbish like "She's throwing it back in the face of people who have given her the chance of a lifetime"

Let me ask you something. If there was another 10 Harry Potter books coming out should she have to stay for them?

SHE IS NOT MARRIED TO IT. She wants to move on. How dare her.

The thing is she HASN'T given back as much as she has received because she has received something fucking HUGE, and she's been paid a ludicrous amount of money for the privelage to boot...she'll probably never be able to thank people enough. She's a very lucky lady, and we shouldn't be bitter about this...but be realistic ferchrisake!

My point in saying she has given as much back is this: If they didn't have somebody who was has good in the role as she is/was then people would not have been acting so rediculous about her moving on. She has given them alot of pleasure through her performances.

All actors and actresses that get paid ludicrous amounts of money for their performances in big films. They don't give back as much as the earn either. Should we tell them what and where to act.

I know she's a very lucky lady. I AGREE with you. But she's gotten her money because she's pretty fucking good at the job in hand.

If she was shit she'd have not been called back to do more than one movie. that would have been ok I assume? If you're shot firing you is fine. If you happen to be great at the part and would like to leave (Nearly 6 Years later mind you) to go onto other things? Uh huh. I'm sorry thats not right.

No it's definitley not the same thing you're right. It's still a big deal though. 2 million is alot to somebody that has 10 in the bank too. But like we seem to believe money isn't the deal here.

Yeah I know it's because she wants to move on. That's what my arguments have been about in the last 3 posts. You've put in bold letters: DOESN'T WANT TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FILMS THAT MADE HER A FUCKING STAR. It's not like she has come out and attacked the films here. She isn't slating the production she just doesn't want to act in them anymore. It's quite simple. She ahas a right to want to try other things. IT'S HER RIGHT. She's acted in them for 6 years. 6 FUCKING YEARS!!! It's possible she might like to try other things now. As in RIGHT now. She is an actress after all.

As for "the hypocrisy" being astounding...do stop being a drama queen, we're arguing over Harry Potter, not 9/11.

It doesn't matter what we arguing over. You're argument was hypocritical. Astounding was a bit strong for you prehaps. Maybe I will just leave the ott descriptions to you.

Really so how does that argument aquaint to this one?

It all seems a wee bit selfish to me...as if she feels she has outgrown the franchise and has forgotten what winning this role meant in the first place. What it meant to her career, her finances, her life.

Or this one?

SHE SIMPLY DOESN'T WANT TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FILMS THAT MADE HER A FUCKING STAR.

If you're argument is "it's a mistake I think she will learn to regret" Well ok. I don't think so and in a couple of years i'm pretty confident she will be a big star taking on some great roles. Difference of opinion. But when you say "lets not be bitter here......." and then rant on like above. Doesn't quite seem to fit. I don't really kno what argument you are going for. Just seems to be ranting about a girls decision to try something else that doesn't fit in with the planned completion.




SHE HAS STILL HAD A CHILDHOOD??? She's not being worked like a fucking dog now is she? She's had a childhood consisting of her doing the thing she quite clearly always dreamt of doing...oh and travelling the world, frollicking on a film set with British legends, attending movie premieres, accumulating vast amounts of money ready for her to live a comfortable adult life, having a top class tutor, being surrounded by many, MANY kids her own age...etc, etc, ETC!!! She's not out picking cotton or down a mine covered in shit with only a canary for company!!!

"She's not picking cotton down a min........." Yeah that's what I compared it to? Christ. Cue....:rolleyes:

Speaking as somebody that has done some limited acting, it's very time consuming on times. I haven't done anything major, yet ended up spending 13 hours waiting around doing a little here a little there. The point of that, is she has made massive films. She has worked hard on those 5 films. I think she's paid her dues. DUES being the important word there. I didn't say fuck all about her life and what a hardship it was. I said that she has SPENT HER CHILDHOOD YEARS PAYING HER DUES - As in ACTING. Ya know what we were talkig about? 6 YEARS worth of dues.

Fuck that though. Lets make a rediculous genralisation about something that has nothing to do with the discussion.




Yes, the celeb talk/gossip forum is a fine representation of this 'society' you speak of...are you for fucking real?

Young actress wants to make a change in her acting career. People bombard message boards about how disgusting it is. (Seriously. Check it out. Have a wander. It's quite astonishing) That's ok though. We all know people that post on message boards aren't part of society. I'd wager more people bitched about this news in the last few days than watched the budget. Am I fucking real? Appropriate icon not avaiable




I'll leave you to your rantings and opinons. To be honest with you it comes down to
me:
Girl has a right to do whatever the fucking well she please's and has more than enough right after 6 years to change direction in her career. She's been rewarded for being great in a role and now she deserves to have a change without being slammed. Even more so considering the cut throat business she's in.

[Vong]

Oh Emma Watson! If only you could see this sad, sad spectacle that you have created!

Fair enough...you want to compare being picked from a bajillion young girls and paid more money than most people earn in several lifetimes to working your arse off scraping a menial wage down the local supermarket...well, then you just do that. But I have to say I think you're living in fucking la-la land.

Blah blah blah

I was responding to this

You don't see it because it's not your life. You're only concerned about having the series finished properly.

You were telling me I was 'concerned' because I'm some major Hermione fangirl...I was saying this is not the reason at all. Don't pick apart my posts and make me appear to be contradicting myself when it's clearly not the case. She's an idiot AND she's selfish, better now?

She can do whatever she pleases, that's true...but I guess those who don't approve of her choice to quit the films at this crucial point (for whatever reason) well I guess they should just strive to be as diplomatic and fair as you eh Scorps?

She hasn't acted in these films for 6 years. She has acted in them over the course of 6 years. She has done PLENTY in-between, lets not kid ourselves.

As for all this 13 hour day bullshit...etc, etc...for a start, she's at an age where the child labour laws come into play. And besides, I've acted myself, for 10 years. I studied Performing Arts at University...acting is a very cushy career to have, end of story. There can be long days yes...but when you're working on a big bucks production like HP there are equally long holidays to cushion the blow.

Anyway, this is a pointless argument. I disagree with pretty much everything you type...I find it all a bit wishy-washy and vanilla with the odd patronising snipe.

You win, fuck it.

Like I said. Society hurts my head.

It would completely take me out of the movie if there was another actress playing Hermione.

All of the actors/actresses who got into the Harry Potter films when they were young should of realized they were going to be immortalized as the characters from the start as the people who played the characters they respectively play in the movies.

For fucks sake, they're 16, and barely doing anything else with their carriers, they shouldn't be worrying about this shit now, maybe if Harry Potter is stopping them from getting other rolls, but for fucks sake alive, if it's not stopping them from having agents contact them about future roles, they should stop bitching and accept the money.

Shit, if I was young enough, British, and had a brain capable of memorizing several lines of film scripts I'd of probably tried out for Harry myself when the casting call went out.
