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."

great! now my friends can stop telling me that "that girl who plays hermione is quitting!111!!1 lyke o-mi-gawd!" ha- Thank goodness... I can't wait!

I was really starting to get worried. This is great news.

I know a lot of people think the rumors were Emma's way of getting attention, but I'm much more inclined to believe it was merely the tabloids blowing things out of proportion. All the legit interviews (i.e. not tabloids) never said anything about her hating what she does. It only said she was hesitant. And since so far Emma has proven to not be much of a media hound (I would use another word but I know children get on here), I doubt she only did it to be paid more or to get more publicity. Just my two cents. :-)

Way, way awesome. I love that they love it so much...makes the films so wonderful...I knew nobody'd skip out on it. ^___^


Posted by hpfan007 Mar 23rd 2007

Yeahhh! WOOT I'm soo excited now:) Haha they got me worried for a while though... THEY JUST MADE MY WEEKEND... awwe whatever they made my MONTH:)


Posted by Gryffindor_Seeker Mar 23rd 2007

They would've been dead meat if they didnt sign, they would've had to deal with ME!


Posted by soccerluver13 Mar 23rd 2007

Thank GOD. I would die if any of them left.


Posted by Mugglebornmuggle Mar 23rd 2007

Man... I kind of wanted Emma to go... I don't really like her... it's nothing personal, she's just not the best actor I've ever seen.


Posted by Lunarian Mar 23rd 2007

Thank goodness for that...if only to put a stop to the seemingly never-ending posts that go: etc, etc, and the like. Amen.


Posted by DaniLovesHP Mar 23rd 2007

Thank goodness. I don't know how I could have watched anyone else play my favorite trio...especially Hermione. Thank you sticking it out Dan, Emma and Rupert!!


Posted by h_is_for_harry Mar 23rd 2007

ive never really felt the urge to post a comment after there's been about 100 of them because i figure nobody will take the time to read this (heh) BUT, does anyone else notice emma's eyebrows? this adds on to what several people have been saying about her overacting. i think she's a wonderful actress, i just find it funny how if you watch her in some of the more serious scenes her eyebrows tend to move up and down furiously... =]


Posted by laurzabeth Mar 23rd 2007

About time. Oh glorious day! I have no more words.


Posted by Harry_is_our_King Mar 23rd 2007

awesome! thank god! it would be horrible with new guys!


Posted by sscobster2 Mar 23rd 2007

Heck yes!! I was so worried that one of them would leave. This makes my whole week 10 times better.


Posted by theaterjunkie91 Mar 23rd 2007

yayyyy. i definitely wouldn't have enjoyed it as much if they were changed.


Posted by SchatzlurvesHP Mar 23rd 2007

Posted by Squeaky Mar 23rd 2007

WOoHOoOo!!! really exited bout the news, i really believed that Emma wasn't coming back!! What a reliefe! Would've been a complete disaster without all 3 acots!

Posted by TheTrueHeirofRavenclaw Mar 23rd 2007

Daniel: YES!!! Rupert: THANK GOODNESS!!! Emma:...NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! !!!!!!!!!!! Well, at least we have an entire cast to balance it out. But I'm so glad the boys are back. The two of them are perfect at their characters! Dan is very very good as Harry and Rupert...Rupe is exactly as I imagined Ron in the books. I am also EXTREMLELY arachniphobic so I empathize with both the character and the actor immensly. And Dan, youre getting sooo much better. And Emma...Well, 2 out of 3 isnt bad.


Posted by DanielRadcliffeIsSEXY Mar 23rd 2007

Yes!!!!!!! Now they all are together! Pray Dan doesn't get a death scene in DH!!!!


Posted by snapeward777 Mar 23rd 2007

Hallelujah!! On another note..... On page 784 the magic ends.


Posted by AccioRonWeasley Mar 23rd 2007

I am happy all three are coming back. It would have been odd with different actors. So, that means I will be watching the last two movies!


Posted by meeeeegan Mar 23rd 2007

WAHOOOOO!!! SMILEYYYY :D :D :D :D :D :D EXCITING! the movies would just be plain wierd without them. i expected that dan and rupe rt would be back, but with the rumours, i was a little worried about emma. but hoorah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D love em!


Posted by keri_potter Mar 23rd 2007

I wasnt really on tethered hooks about emma but it wouldnt have been the same if others played their characters. So WOO HOO so glad they are all comming back now what about the rest of the cast? cause their characters wouldnt be the same either.


Posted by DanielRadcliffeIsSEXY Mar 23rd 2007

On page 784 the magic ends. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Year 7 begins on July 21, 2007 7-21-07....the magic ends....
