That Girl From Harry Potter Quits Movies
In an article cleverly titled I Quititch! (get it? get it?)the UK-based News of the World is reporting that Harry Potter star Emma 'Hermione' Watson is refusing to sign on to star in the 6th and 7th Harry Potter films--due to begin filming in 6 months.
The pretty 16-year-old, who plays key character Hermione Granger, wants a spell doing other roles. The feisty young actress has told producers that even doubling her pay packet to £2 million a movie won't do the trick.
Said co-star Rupert 'Ron' Grint, "Emma doesn't want to do it any more. She's tired of being known as ‘that girl from Harry Potter'."
Um, after 5 movies playing one of the most famous characters in literary history, I'm pretty certain that its too late for her to be known as anything BUT 'that girl from Harry Potter.' Although in 5-10 years she'll probably be known as "that girl from Harry Potter who died of a drug overdose" and/or "that girl from Harry Potter who posed for Playboy."
On a related note, its just been released that the 7th novel, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, will be a whopping 784 pages long--meaning that if I start at midnight, go without sleep and take 2-3 bathroom breaks, I should be able to finish the book in just over 13 hours.
UPDATE: Warner Brothers has confirmed that the girl from the Harry Potter movies has officially signed on to do the remaining Harry Potter movies. She'll be reprising her role as that girl who is friends with Harry Potter.
