Emma Watson to Stay on in Harry Potter Films

Harry Potter fans will breath a sigh of relief today when they hear the news coming from Warner Bros regarding Emma Watson.

There have been a lot of rumours circulating recently about Emma Watson and her future as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter fans. These rumours are causing quite a stir amongst Harry Potter fans around the world.

The rumours are saying that Emma Watson is considering quitting her role in the Harry Potter films and that she will not be signing on to play Hermione Granger in the final two films. It is also being reported that she has been offered double her salary, around 4 million pounds sterling in an attempt to lure her back to play Hermione in the final two films. However, Emma Watson is not concerned about the money.

There are a number of reasons begin given as to why she would not want to continue with the Harry Potter films. Apparently Rupert Grint who plays Ron in the Harry Potter films has said Emma Watson is "tired of being known as 'that girl from Harry Potter'". Emma Watson was also recently the victim of a stalker. A fan was found to be entering her school causing the sixteen-year-old Watson a great deal of worry. Another reason believed to be causing these rumours is Watson's academic wishes. Emma Watson is a good student who recently achieved straight A's on her GCSC exams. She is now in her A level year and has expressed the desire to attend University which, if she went straight after finishing school would interfere with the filming of the final two Harry Potter films.

However, recent news today will slow down these rumours. The news, which, is coming directly from Warner Bros producers, is stating that they are extremely confident that Emma Watson will now sign on to complete the Harry Potter film series. A Warner Bros spokesperson told CBBC Newsround, "we're extremely confident that Emma will be back for films six and seven."
