Emma Watson talks about nearly quitting “Potter” movies

If somebody else can play Dumbledore, then why not Hermione? OK, so considering the original actor who played Dumbledore died, they didn’t have much choice about replacing him. Secondly, the first Dumbledore was WAY better. So, what would it have been like to see Hermione version 2.0?

Perhaps it no longer matters, as future Harry Potter films will indeed keep Emma Watson as Hermione Granger, but in 2006 when Watson’s contract came up for renewal, the possibility of fans having to deal with a pseudo-Hermione was a real thing. Watson, at the time, had been considering going to university rather than finishing out the series of Harry Potter films. Rather than, because she felt she would simply not have time to do both.

In the end, however, the studio ended up radically altering their shooting schedule in order to make it possible for Watson to do both school and the Potter films. Still, though, for a little while the possibility Hermione would have to be re-cast was very real. “I would have been public enemy #1, I think, if I hadn’t continued,” Watson said. “I did think about that.”

Despite an almost savage split, Watson says that she is very grateful to Warner Brothers for helping her to pursue her education while continuing to do the Potter films. “I feel very lucky,” she said. “Warner Bros. has been very supportive of me keeping this education thing going. I’m very grateful.”

Emma Watson, who used to have long hair, now has short hair. You can see pictures of it on the Internet.
