Emma Watson “almost quit” Harry Potter

Emma Watson has revealed that she “almost quit” Harry Potter at 16.

“I hate to sound whiny, but it’s horrible,” Emma tells Entertainment Weekly. “This has definitely been the most intense, grueling period of film-making I’ve ever done!”

“I have such a structure when I’m working on Potter,” she continues. “I get told what time I get picked up, I get told what time I can eat, when I have time to go to the bathroom. Every single second of my day is not in my power.”

Emma took on the roll of Hermione Granger at 9 years of age, and renewed her contract with Warner Brothers in 2006 while shooting the fifth installment, The Order Of The Phoenix.
