Life in General

Harry Potter star Emma Watson has reportedly refused to sign a new contract to star in the last two movies in the J.K Rawling fanta series, despite being offered $3.9 million to continue her role as Hermione Granger. The 16-year-old - who was confronted by a crazed fan at her British school earlier this week - has allegedly tired of her role as Harry Potter's best friend and wants to try new projects.

Movie giants Warner Brothers confirmed Watson has not signed on for any more "Harry Potter" movies but played down reports Emma Watson is quitting the film franchise, insisting they are "extremely confident" she will continue to play Hermione Granger.
