'Harry Potter's' Emma Watson Bailing on Final Films
Emma Watson, who plays Harry Potter's friend Hermione Granger in the films, is reportedly refusing to sign on for the last two installments of the box office juggernaut. Watson, 16, is tired of being known as "that girl from the Harry Potter movies', and is ready to lose the teenybopper wizard image.
Apparently Rupert [Grint], who has starred as the best friend of Daniel Radcliffe's eponymous Harry in the first five movies, and Daniel himself have moved apart from Emma after she rejected the chance to earn £2 million ($3,884,600)to film Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
"Daniel and I are distant from her now. We don't text or talk to her when we are not filming," he told the Sunday tabloid.
But other reports state that although Emma has not signed up for the final two films, producers Warner Bros still fully expect her to.
No word on what Watson would rather be doing, or if she's signed on to appear in Playboy or 'Girls Gone Wild' yet.
