Although Daniel Radcliffe has agreed to sign up for the remaining films, and all indications suggest Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Wesley, has also signed up, there have been a couple of articles today suggesting that Emma Watson, who plays Hermione Granger, isn’t keen to sign on for films 5 and 6. Having said that, I haven’t seen anything from Watson herself, it all seems to stem from comments by Rupert Grint:
It seems to have been Grint himself who sparked off the speculation about Watson’s future. The News of the World yesterday quoted him as saying that Watson had drifted apart from him and Radcliffe in recent months, despite the trio having made five films together.“Daniel and I are distant from her now,” he was quoted as saying. “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.’”
Production company Warner Bros. seem happy enough that she will sign though. I was a bit surprised she was only offered £2 million per film though, considering how central her role is and how much money the films make.
