Potter trio signed on for final two films
Potter trio signed on for final two films Warner Brothers announced in a press release today that Dan Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint are all officially signed on for the Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows films. Each of the three actors, along with Producer David Heyman, were quoted in the release.

From Dan:
"Playing the role of Harry Potter has been an immense privilege, and I look forward to completing the series. I feel a huge sense of loyalty to the character of Harry and the fans who have supported these films over the years. During filming, I have learnt so much, made lots of friends and met people who have changed my life. I am indebted to J K Rowling, Warner Bros. and David Heyman for giving me this fantastic opportunity."
From Emma:
"I could never let Hermione go - she is my hero! I love her too much and love what playing her has meant to me. I am excited and honoured to be finishing what I started and playing her in all seven of the films."
From Rupert:
"Ron Weasley has become a big part of my life and not just because we've both got ginger hair! I've been so proud to play him and loved every second of being part of this world. I'm really looking forward to filming the last two films and being back with my 'Weasley family' and, of course, to seeing my good friends Emma and Dan. Thank you to everyone for being so supportive over the years; we couldn't have done it without you."

WOOOH! it would have been odd not having them in the movies!


Posted by unmellowyellow Mar 23rd 2007

YAY!!! it wouldn't be the same with new kids


Posted by VintageHPBeauty Mar 23rd 2007

No comments? Where is everyone?! But anyway, yay! Glad to see all the rumors about Emma weren't true. HP wouldn't be the same without her.


Posted by Kym Mar 23rd 2007

Yea!

THANK GOD!!! I have been so nervous that one of the trio wouldn't return. it just wouldnt be the same without them... first!


Posted by smurff Mar 23rd 2007

o thank god. now ill totally see all the movies haha


Posted by pants_lover Mar 23rd 2007

Well, thats good. It would be too strange having different actors playing the trio this far into the movies.


Posted by Dragonprincess25 Mar 23rd 2007

NOW can someone tell Watson not over act anymore? Anyone eles put off by Watson's will I, won't act? I am!


Posted by ginny4ever Mar 23rd 2007

WHOOOOO!!!!!!! I t would have been so weird to have some other people in the last 2 movies, I'm glad those rumors about Emma weren't true!


Posted by HPFREAK7 Mar 23rd 2007

Thank GOd!!!! the movies would not be the same without out them!!!


Posted by devonmurrayfan Mar 23rd 2007

That's so ace! Emma Watson rules!


Posted by otto Mar 23rd 2007

The news story that "quoted" Emma saying she didn't want to do any more HP movies was obviously bogus. Today's journalism standards are just plain awful.


Posted by crazz25 Mar 23rd 2007

awesome, it would've completly ruined it if they had to change charactors so far into the series. Top Ten!!


Posted by AnitaB Mar 23rd 2007

That's great, it wouldn't be the same without any of them..... Yay!!!!!! Good news!!!!!! rumors weren't true


Posted by Clean0002 Mar 23rd 2007

I am so happy about this! I knew Emma would stay on, I had no doubts! They have made the characters what they are on the films and I think all of us thank them for their commitment to these films! Thank you Dan, Rupert, and Emma!


Posted by theDA4ever Mar 23rd 2007

YAY I'm sooo glad that they are all coming back! The movie would be wierd without them!


Posted by WeasleyForMe Mar 23rd 2007

It just wouldn't be the same without all three of them!


Posted by mastermike Mar 23rd 2007

While I believe Emma to be the best of the three when it comes to raw talent, I do think she hams it up a little too much. Still, I'm glad they didn't try and change the actors this late in the game.


Posted by pippin Mar 23rd 2007

yayy, I'm so glad emma's coming back after all those rumors.


Posted by cedarbluff Mar 23rd 2007

o thank god!! the movies would not have been as good without them


Posted by CanIBeYourMemory_x Mar 23rd 2007

Thank Goodness!! It Wouldnt Be The Same Without Them! :)


Posted by RyAn2006 Mar 23rd 2007

"I'm really looking forward to filming the last two films and being back with my 'Weasley family' and, of course, to seeing my good friends Emma and Dan." Very good of Rupert to say that considering what the News of the World rubbish said about him and Emma not talking any more. What losers! But superb news-delighted they have eventually signed!! Now all we need is a director!


Posted by Angiebelle Mar 23rd 2007

Fantastic!! I'm so glad that they are eager to film HP6 & 7!! xx


Posted by ButtERcUP Mar 23rd 2007

YAYYY!!! this is gr8... like everyone says..it wud b really weird wit different actors/actresses....and i do think emma does overact a bit...like she sorta becums too serious...but she is still my fav amongst the trio whn it cums to the best actor.... but either way the movies wudn't b wht they r witouht the famous trio!! yah!!


Posted by pottercrazed719 Mar 23rd 2007

YAY!!!!!!!! It soooooooo wouldn't be the same kind of HP movie if they weren't in it!!!!


Posted by Sunshine1313 Mar 23rd 2007

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy all three of them are coming back! YAY!


Posted by loonygirl Mar 23rd 2007

YEAH!!!! it wouldn't have worked with other actors. they ARE the trio and they're great!!! i'm so happy emma doesn't leave. there have been many romours (did i spell that right?) about it...


Posted by Clean0002 Mar 23rd 2007

I also would like to comment on what each said in the release. This to me shows how much respect each has for the books, the fans, their characters, and the movies and I think it is great how nice and gracious they all are. By the end, they will have spent half their lives bringing these books to life on to the screen and I really appreciate it as do many others. This is a huge commitment and I hope all us will respect them for it. I am hoping no one will come on here a bash them in response to this news because they are owed our gratitude and respect.


Posted by sticky Mar 23rd 2007

WWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOO ha ha ha weeeeeee im soooo excited and ssoooooo estatic. this is great...im glad emma is staying as she is amazing....i sent an email to mugglenet saying that there was a new press release that they were all comin bk...even emma woooooooooooooooooooo weeee luurrrvvv u guys /*sniffs* i dont want it all to be over.....


Posted by Mnemone07 Mar 23rd 2007

THANK MERLIN! Phew! I was really nervous- I thought for sure that Emma would leave, but now she's obviously not! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By the way, loonygirl, it's spelled rumors (or rumours in the UK)- you did ask, so I'm not being too Hermione-ish, I think.


Posted by Hogwarts96 Mar 23rd 2007

I knew that they (the trio) could not pass up finishing the movies, there was never a doubt in my mind that Emma would sign for HBP or DH. But it is still a great relief to see that they are all signed now! SWEET!


Posted by ThEdArKlOrd06 Mar 23rd 2007

YES!Now I can plan on seeing the last two movies!It wouldn't be the same without the same people!

Posted by loopy4lupin Mar 23rd 2007

Guys I am so excited that they are all sticking it out. I was always skeptical about those rumours of Emma leaving. Emma is too cool to leave and moviehole.net doesn't know anything to save their life. So guys, moviehole.net is not a reliable source.


Posted by normalac Mar 23rd 2007

Oooooooooo Im so happy!!!!!! Cant imagine the last two parts without them!!! Yeeeeessssss!!!!!


Posted by pigwidgeon Mar 23rd 2007

Even though i really dislike emma, it would be weird to change actors half way through. so it's good that she's coming back.


Posted by snapebaby27 Mar 23rd 2007

Hip Hip Horray!!!!

It's lucky it's dark. I haven't blushed this much since Madam Pomfrey told me she liked my new earmuffs.
