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."

YES!!!! Dan, Rupert, Emma - thank you!

That is awesome!!!!!! I knew all 3 would be in the final two. It would be seriously weird if even one was missing. I know this story is in reference to the final two movies, but this news just made me more excited about Order of The Phoenix and Deathly Hallows this Summer!!!!


Posted by Maria1990 Mar 25th 2007

Excellent!!! That was exactly what I, and most likely the rest of the world, was hoping, begging, no pleeding for!!! No other actors could EVER take their places as Harry, Ron and Hermione, 'cause you guys ROCK!!! I hope you understand how much this means to all your fans in the world, 'cause it's so important, and everything would've been ruined if you guys didn't do it!!! Anyway, I can't wait till the last three films come out, and then, I'll be the first to get a ticket to the cinema!!! Love you Dan, Rupert and Emma:) You go, guys!

I thought Emma was serious about leaving! Glad it was just a stupid rumor.....I always knew Dan and Rupert wouldn't leave, though!


Posted by Nimue Mar 25th 2007

Well, this is good news. Good for them for feeling so attached to their characters!


Posted by DIEVOLDEMORT Mar 25th 2007

Whew... im glad they are staying for the rest of the movies. i wouldnt watch the last 2 if they left. (Well maybe i would but i wouldnt enjoy it)


Posted by lonegungrrly Mar 25th 2007

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! ! now all i need is alan rickman confirm and i will be very happy indeed!!!!!


Posted by smellysocks Mar 25th 2007

WOOHOO! thank god, it would have been not-so-good if they weren't ALL coming back! Its made my day :)


Posted by hermione1996 Mar 25th 2007

she didn't say that wb did i have to hear soomething from her to believe it.


Posted by rachelr62442 Mar 25th 2007

get in! soo chuffed !


Posted by mimi123 Mar 25th 2007

although i made myself believe that i didn't care if emma left i'm actually really relieved and happy that she and dan and rupert are staying


Posted by HeirOfRavenclaw Mar 25th 2007

YAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!! this is fantastic!!! thanks, guys, we love you!!!!!! Heart, Heir


Posted by PotterChickFoSho Mar 25th 2007

super! i knew it would happen eventually.. i think all the crap about emma was just stupid rumors.. i really dont understand why everyone gets so worked up about her. just annoyingly jelous danfangirls i guess. i personally think she's got the most talent out of the trio. (but dan is working his way up). the only critisism i can think of for emma is that she moves her eyebrows to much when she does serious sceanes. (watched the 'im scared for you, harry' sceane in gof and youll see what i mean..) haha


Posted by sticky Mar 25th 2007

i dont understand why peole are saying emma moves her eyebrows too much when acting...ive never noticed it and i have sharp eyes..its obviously not that big of a problem for peole not to notice.....im not being mean oro trying to cause offence but some people who are saying that seem to also be saying how bad her acting is......its a sign of jealousy in my mind...dont worry though PotterChickFoSho you havent critsied emma about how bad she is as an actress so i guess it doesnt apply to you =) im not trying to make an arguement with anyone...=)


Posted by AccioRon Mar 25th 2007

while i think that rupert is the best actor out of the three, i honestly don't care that much......the books are way better anyway.


Posted by 3amegos2 Mar 25th 2007

LOL!I'm glad none of them are moving even though I'm sad about Dombledore dyeing!It's so upsetting!I can't wait for the fifth movie to come out!I read the whole book in like a month and I'm only eleven!My dad said if it's pg-13 I can still watch it!My dad is the best!


Posted by sticky Mar 25th 2007

i dont think any harry potter fan will miss this film.....


Posted by 3amegos2 Mar 25th 2007

I'm definatly not going to miss it!It might just be the best film EVER! (\_/) (='.'=) (")_(")


Posted by _lilys_eyes_ Mar 25th 2007

OH THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WAS SO WORRIED THATEMMA WASNT GONNA DO IT! then again, filming all seven movies takes a while!!!!!


Posted by PeaceLoveMalfoy Mar 25th 2007

IM soo EXCITED!! seeing it most def! having to replace any of the trio would completely upset me. but im soo going to see them for sure when they come out. Super hyped!


Posted by luv_hp_4ever Mar 25th 2007

hey i made that crazy eyebrow comment first ... " if she doesnt come back im gonna miss emma and her crazy eyebrows" i made it like 2 weeks ago when it was reported about dan signing but emma maybe not signing... lol anyway yeah i totally claim that jk its okay no one gonna read this far down anyway but i dont care!!!! Regulas_Black what comment did emma make that made u not like her. and yeah i agree she does overact a little at times but u can tell that she is an awesome actor! it would be weird without the trio so that really makes me happy!


Posted by TomMarvoloRiddle Mar 25th 2007

This is spectacular news! I must admit that I have a little thing for Emma Watson. I was in Oxford this weekend and saw her with a group of friends. I couldn't pluck up the courage to speak to her: perhaps if she'd been alone, but I'd have felt like an idiot in font of a group of girls a few years older than me. Maybe next time ...


Posted by GinnyandHarryForever Mar 25th 2007

GIANT SIGH OF RELIEF!!!!!! I would have just died if they shoved someone into the trio!!!! DAN EMMA AND RUPERT ARE NOT REPLACABLE!!!


Posted by EiSeL Mar 25th 2007

what a relief! the series would have completely died if any of the trio left. i'm glad they're all staying!


Posted by elbi_hpotter Mar 25th 2007

Wow, I really think that you guys (Emma, Daniel, Ruppert) are cool. I mean you guys are so nice,and play the parts of Harry potter so great, I mean it would be HORRIBLE if you guys weren't in it. I hope you read this. I also want to say that you guys gave my imagination go into full gear, I wish the series of Harry Potter would never end, but I understand that you guys are NOT harry, Hermione, and Ron but, Daniel, Emma, and Ruppert. I will see all and every one of the movies you make. I'm your fan through and through. Have a nice day, ypu guys. Don't work too hard. Your friend and fan.


Posted by lumos_fubuki Mar 25th 2007

I will missing you guys, how sad that the film will end soon... But i wont forgget my favorite characters Harry, Hermione and Ron... You did an excellent role in the movie... Hope that you guys will make a new movie after the last two films that you are doing guys... I will always remember the way you act guys... For me guys you are the best, the finest... and to all the characters who gave their best to make the movie great... and to the people behind the movie... thanks for expanding our imagination and make us believed in magic... patrick...

Posted by quartz91 Mar 26th 2007

that's sooooo awesome. i'm sooo glad they're staying, because it just wouldn't be the same without them. the movies would just be like... DIFFERENT.


Posted by Sanj Mar 26th 2007

Thank GOODNESS! I was worried sick whether one of them would leave; the Harry Potter movies wouldn't be the same without them. I can't imagine ANYone else in their place, no matter how good an actor or actress they are -- Dan, Rupert, and Emma ROCK :D

Posted by barb_grint Mar 26th 2007

It's really brill that they all signed on for the rest of the films, even though they are starting to look old. It's interesting how Rupert sounds all smart, but in an interview he is all "ahhh."


Posted by AnyaMarcos Mar 26th 2007

As if there was ever any doubt.


Posted by i_loverz_HP Mar 26th 2007

OMG!!!!!!! this makes me so happy because i would have like not gone to see the movies if all three weren't in it because ( well actually i probably would have but anyways.....) lol that would have ruined everything about the movies i mean just think sitting there in the movie theater all excited and then BAM all of a sudden some nasty person comes up playing harry potter what the.....that would suck like no other.....i would seriously cry and then sit there and be mad the WHOLE movie but anyweays im really glad there all staying i couldn't see anybody else playing those parts besides who've they got now.....( i hope draco stays) :] hahahah WE LOVVVVE YOU HARRY POTTER.


Posted by Otakuprincess24 Mar 26th 2007

I'm so glad that Dan, Emma and Rupert are staying on for the last two movies. Frankly, it'd be a shame if they didn't! The world has come to love these three over the years and would be sad if they left us now! YAY for them!


Posted by SucramDragon Mar 26th 2007

that is the best news iv heard to day. it would have brought the movie down if any one of them quit.


Posted by kkWombat Mar 26th 2007

oh JOY!! "Good on ya" you three! THANK you!!! The series wouldn't be the same w/o you 3 lovely lovely people! It's been fun watching you grow & develop with these amazing stories, films & characters! Thank you! Thank you JKR, WB & D.Heyman, too!! Cheers! (*beaming*) :)

Posted by megblack89 Mar 26th 2007

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THIS IS FanTaSTic News!! Sometimes Emmas acting confuses me, but I along with half the world (clearly) am so attached to those three as our trio that I would deeply resent the next person who tried to fill their enormous shoes! This is GREAT! Dan, that was touching :)
