NewsoftheWorld.co.uk says that Emma has refused to sign another contract, which would have her playing Hermione through the final two films in the series. This isn’t just a negotiating ploy. Emma has told producers that even doubling her pay won’t get her to sign on the dotted line.

I've been late in uncovering this news and I don't know if I'm going to believe it or not, because this news about Emma Watson's refusal to play as Hermione in last two Harry Potter series hadn't reach the local papers and local television networks. It's such a disappointment for me though, because I had came to grow up with and accustomed in seeing her in the said movies.

Her speculated reason about not signing in for the last two movies, despite being offered 2 million pounds, was that she had grown tired of being type-casted as Hermione, the known-it-all friend of Harry in the novels made by J.K. Rowling, and that she wanted to pursue and play different roles that would satisfy her.

It is true, indeed that everyone needed a break from the usual role they play and find another facet that would make each and everyone flourish, but why can't she just continue portraying Hermione up to the end, yet at the same time playing different characters that she wished to, just like what Daniel Radcliffe had done when he accepted Equus.

I just hope she snaps out of her contorted thinking and play again Hermione because she fits the role perfectly.
