Emma Watson May Leave Harry Potter

By Josh Tyler: 2006-09-26 00:00:00

The best thing about the Harry Potter movies isn't the magic, or even the stories. It's the series' young actors, who we've been able to watch grow up right along with their roles. Keeping the same people in those parts is critical to the franchise's continued success, and while there've been rumbles before that they might not all make it to the end, they've usually centered around Daniel Radcliffe.

Now it seems that while both Radcliffe and Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) are content to keep cashing Harry Potter paychecks forever, Emma Watson may be ready to abandon movies making in favor of getting smart.

Yep, Emma isn't signed for the final films in the series and she says she may not agree to work anymore. She's more interested in education. "I don't know yet. Every film is such a huge production and it's a long time," she told the UK's Daily Mail. If she agrees to the contract currently under negotiations, the 16-year-old actress would be stuck making Harry Potter movies until she turns 20. "I love to perform, but there are so many things I love doing."

Emma wouldn't be the first teen actress to shun box office receipts in favor of higher education. Natalie Portman did much the same, taking a break from movies to get a college degree and learn something before she returned to playing make-believe for a living.

If there's one cast member they can't afford to lose, it's Emma, not their boy who lived Daniel Radcliffe. Over the past couple of movies she's quickly become the series' real star, as both she and her character have grown into their own. Her Hermione Granger is the best thing about Harry Potter, and losing her could be a death blow.

FINALLY AN ACTOR WHO SEES SENSE, AND NOT JUST THE MONEY! Most actors turn out dumb and rely on there money to hire staff, so really they rely on there staff. And I looked up daniel radcliff, n I neva knew he was doin NUDE shots..EWWWWWWWWWWW. I mean who wud wanna c him. lol. well mayb ova ppl do. but ewww...just shows how fame changes a person and apparently he smokes like 20 ciggarettes so they may hav 2 replace him neway, u kno smoking KILLS. Rupert Grint is alryt, havnt herd nefing bout him. I think in no.1 and 2 and 3 she was crap but she totally looked the part talking bout emma watson. then all of a sudden she changed her hair. It was supposed to be a bush wasnt it??? And he used some potion, i fought it was too hard to make everyday. Her acting has improved a little but not that much...but still i fink ill miss her neway, cause wen a character changes its weird. Emma cnt u do ur education while filming????

In my honest opinion all three are essential. To me what made a huge impact on all movies minus the first was the loss of Pro. Dumbledore from the first film. That i must say is what hit all the movies, because i must say, the current Dumbledore dont potray the character very well.

I like emma but she haz changed th character a lot although in te books it says she starts to get closer and closer to harry and ron and stop caring so uch about her work she is still meant to be clever and they have stoped showing thta in the ilms also emma has ruined the hair of hermione. they 1 of the reasons they chose emmA for hermione was because of her long brown bushy hair it went from brown , busshy abd long, to short bush and mousy(kind of tho thats probably natural) to short BLONDDE and WAVYYY to SHORT BLOND AND STRAIGHT!!!!!!>:( wat happened??!!!! i do like her but hermione just isnt hermione wihtout the long bushy brown hair and brains:(

guys don't take it personally..
you don't know emma that much..
you're not always there to witness what's goin' on..
if you'd known her deeply,
i think you would say "emma is
the greatest person i had known"..
why some people hate her?
i think that you people that
comments bad things
'bout her are just envious..
you hate her because she's beautiful?
because she's adorable?
she's popular...?
the center of the attraction, not like you?
think before saying anything less likely..
face your mirrors..
the bad things that you know
about emma are just rumors..
pictures taken by the fuckin paparazzis...lol..
they're just showing the unwanted side..
you're fooled by them, not by emma..
all of us are growin up..
sometimes we just need to have some fun,
try anything.. cause we are curious..
now don't get mad...
just hold your words..

The only thing that really bugs me is that, Emma's look is totally not Hermione's look. And i know that's not Emma's fault, but her designers, but still. They should really, really, work on that. And Emma is part of the "trio" so even though if Emma does leave, and it doesn't really make a big impact on some people, it still will make at least a little bit of impact on the fans, and etc.

as for me ,if any of the actor or actress live the movie it would be happy for some of the people who don't like them but not for the people who like them so much.....but i like emma watson so much i will not be watching HARRY POTTER if emma didn't act in the film............i think..

We are so used to seeing Emma as Hermione that it would just be too weird to have somebody new come in now. And when she is 20 she will still have plenty of time to pursue the education that she wants. I really do think that she plays a big part in the harry potter movies! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE EMMA!

it owuld b funny though if she did quit how they would handle it would they get another (most likely) the show must go on as they say

or would they try kill her off as in harry n ron get to school hey ron where's hermione gee harry i dont know dumbledoor comes up and tells them she got hit by a car or something
ha! but still would kinds suck i quite like the series and if shes filming till 20 so be it cant complain when the money would be flowing in from left right and center and plus you wouldnt really need the education the only reason that any one needs an aducation is so they can get a beter job thus earn more money i see no other hight about education one of her freids are probably conning her into leaving

"harry potter is gay come to school its boring without you"

so come on it would kinds suck if they pulled in some random 8 ft tall bloke with a deep as voice to play hermione HA!

dont leave stay cmon

I think we must not discriminate the actors or actress becoz everyone one are doing well and it is not daniel or rupert or emma doing the best.It is the whol hp actors or actress making it a grand success.i beleive emma watson may leave the hp production if a girl looking like her is found but if it is not i beleive that emma must stay becoz it would blow up everything!

Harry Potter can't lose Emma Watson. She is the biggest reason I watch Harry Potter. She's a great actress and the star performer in the series.

I think that if you take one of the actors out the entire movie won't be the same anymore ... and I am a huuuuge fen of Emma Watson and my opinion is that she is the best actor for the roll of Hermione Grainger ... But I recently heard that she signed a contract with Warner Bros ... and she is staying to the END :) So everything is going to be A.O.K.
