Emma Watson to play Hermione’s mom? Not likely!
Emma Watson, a.k.a. Hermione in the “Harry Potter” movies, has said she plans to retire from acting after the series ends. Or at least try different things, like theater. But apparently, her thoughts on this in the May issue of Interview magazine irked a few people.
"I was a little bit shocked by people’s responses,” she said. “Maybe it’s because, at the moment, there are so many people who want to be famous, so how could I not want this? Or, how could I not want to keep it forever?"
So would she come out of retirement to do another “Harry Potter” movie somewhere down the road? Maybe. Just don’t expect her to play Hermione’s mom. “That would be so cringe!" she said. “Don’t you think people would be bored of seeing me in Potterworld by then?”
For now, though, Watson is preparing herself to let go of Hermione and the series. “I will be … uncontrollable. It’s been half of our lives," she said. "It’s made us, it’s formed us. It’s such a big part of my life, so it will be really sad — and so much of the crew who have been there since the beginning are like my family.”
I’m sure most of us “Harry Potter” fans will go through a period of grieving, as well. It will certainly be odd, to not be looking forward to any more Harry Potter movies after “Deathly Hallows.”
“Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” hits theaters July 15, 2009. You can also catch Emma Watson in “Napoleon and Betsy,” set for a 2010 release date (so … maybe she’s NOT retiring!).
