Emma Watson: ‘I nearly quit Potter’
Harry Potter star Emma Watson
Emma Watson has revealed she almost walked away from the Harry Potter film franchise to concentrate on her academic studies. Watson, 20, is currently studying at Brown University in Rhode Island but has admitted that during contract renewal negotiations between The Order Of The Phoenix and The Half-Blood Prince films she struggled find a happy balance between her acting and academic careers and was close to walking away from her role as Hermione Grainger.
"I always try and make decisions in my life based on what's right for me and I just try and be true to myself,” Emma told MTV News. "It was mainly to do with scheduling and I had a real fight on my hands to ensure that I was able to go to university and I was able to sit my A-levels, because the schedule they handed to me didn't really allow for any of that and I just wasn't prepared to let it go.
"They essentially moved the Harry Potter film schedule around my exam dates, which was amazing. It all worked out," she added. "I would have been public enemy number one, I think, if I hadn't continued."
Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part One is released nationwide on Friday.
