"Harry Potter" may have to find a new addition to his posse.
Emma Watson, the actress behind Hermione Granger, is reportedly no longer eager to light up the screen in the wizard series.
The 16-year-old English actress, who has been appearing in the films for most of her childhood, is sick of being associated with the boy wizard.
Co-star Rupert Grint told News Of The World newspaper, "Daniel and I are distant from her now. We don't text or talk to her when we are not filming. Emma doesn't want to do it any more. She's tired of being known as, 'That girl from Harry Potter.'"
There are still two installments of the Harry Potter movies to shoot, including the long awaited final book.
Watson has yet to sign up for the next two films. Some reports are suggesting that Warner Brothers studios is confirming her absence, while others reveal that producers are hoping she will change her mind.

I don't think this rumer is true about Emma and i hope everyone thinks that it's not true i recon this is a made up storie so anyone who reades the rumer DON'T BELEAVE IT!.
July 12, 2007 - 11:04PM
don't worry, she's signed her soul away to warner bros, they will force her into it. she WILL be in the last two movies. what she really needs to do is expand her acting repertoire like dan and rupert have, or become involved with a cause where she can make a name for herself outside the harry potter films.
July 24, 2007 - 04:34PM - julie a lesley
so there is going to be two more harry potter movies?
July 26, 2007 - 01:58PM
Emma, You can't not be in the next two Harry Potter films! You're my very favorite character in HP, of all the other characters!! If you don't sign on than I don't know if I can watch the next two movies! It just won't be the same with a different Hermione! I know you want to go to college, but I'll hope you can find a solution do doing both.
Just think: Two more movies, than you can be done with the movies, if you want to.

if emma watson does not star as hermione granger in the last 2 harry potter movies, i will be very upset. The cast stayed the same through 5 films. why change them now? You are so talented and alot of your fans would be devestated to hear the there is a new actress playing hermione Granger. Please dont leave Emma!
July 31, 2007 - 03:58PM - sierra
emma used to be good but her acting got a little over dramatic and riddiculous to tell you the truth in goblet of fire and especially order of the phoenix.
August 2, 2007 - 11:48AM - Kayla
If Emma Watson doesn't play Hermione Granger, I wont watch the last two films. Personally, I think her acting is just wonderful. And you can say how 'over-dramatic' she was.. But, if she wasn't supposed to act the part like that.. They would have done something about it. It's not her fault the Hermione charactor is like that, now is it? I think she's done just swell in the past five films. Without her in the next and final two.. I don't think they'd make as much money. The sixth one, possibly because people wont realize how bad it would be without her. But, after they've seen a horrible new replacment in the sixth, no one will want to see the seventh. And that, by far, is my favorite book. And I'm not going to sat why and spoil the ending for anyone, but anyone other than Emma playing that roll.. Just wouldn't do. Your fans need you, Emma.

Emma, PLease don't stop making the last two Harry Potter movies. I love the movies' please. without you in them they won't be the same. Everyone who whaches the H.P. movies loves you, including me. You only have two years left please try to make it. Then you can go on with your life and stop making movies if you deside to. PLEASE STAY,!! your fans love you, I LOVE YOU EMMA!!

You've got to admit emma is FIT(im not a perv ok im 13), but if she dose not want to do the last two films then whos to stop her. I mean its her choice. I would like her to feature in the last two films of course, she lightens up the films, and shes not just the girl from the harry potter films shes gained most of her fame from acting not from just in theh.p films shes got the looks shes got the talent. I think she can go a long way in life
August 8, 2007 - 06:16AM - David C
Hey sierra thats called acting its not over-dramatic!
August 8, 2007 - 04:15PM - Cat

omg emma ur gawjuss i wud do u any day.its her choice if she wants to leave the harry potter films.i mean i dnt want to leave them becuz she is wat makes them worth watching but she can make her own decistions n i will stick by her thru thick n thin watever she decides to do.she is the best lookin actress i have ever seen and the only reason y i watch the film is becuz of her.everything about her is perfect.her hair her figure .i hate ppl hu slag her off becuz of her flat chest but i think it is beautiful and that is wat meks her so feminin.if she had big boobs it wud completely ruin her style.dnt u all agree? emma ur a bbe just ignore those ppl hu r trying to put u under pressure to stay in the harry potter films.just remember its UR desition bby x
August 19, 2007 - 02:13PM - Lou
She has to do the next films for he following reasons1 her co satars are getting hotter
2 She is being offered millions of pounds to be in the final two
3 even if she didn't do these last two she will still be known as hermione, by not being in the last two it won't erases our memories of who she is.
4 it just to much fun.
5 no onw could fill her shoes as hermione, she is just too good.
August 19, 2007 - 04:43PM - Sarah

November 10, 2007 - 12:12PM
Emma is a great actress.No one could ever take her place in the movies.I agree that when Emma
.says that she won't be doing the films then I will believe it.If that is the case then I agree it's her choice.I greatly admire Emma Watson.I think everyone can agree she's very sensible and we can trust her to make the right decision and if she does drop out of the films she probably has a good reason.
December 25, 2007 - 02:25AM
Emma is the best,most talented and wonderful actress I have ever seen and admired.I don't know why she wants to quit and I don't really like her quiting.But if she really wants to then it is her decision and her life.So I say go for it Emma,life is too short and live your dreams.
January 2, 2008 - 05:41PM - Hannah Pohlman
I AM SO MAD!Emma is such a talented actress and no one would ever be able to replace her in these movies. If she does not play Hermione Granger in the last 2 movies there is no point in me seeing them. Emma I love you girl but the movies will stink if you aren't in them. It's your life so do what you want, I hope you choose to be in the movies. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be in the last 2 movies, girl.
January 2, 2008 - 05:46PM - Hannah Pohlman
