Rumours have been swirling recently about Emma Watson feeling like the Hermione Granger role is a serious straig🦄htjacket and looking to ditch the Potter franchise.

However, despite comments by fellow star Rupert “Ron” Gri🃏nt that she’d “grown apart” from the🅘m and the movies, all whispers have been trumped by a new announcement that all three actors are now committed to the final pair of movies – The Half-Blood Prince and The Deathly Hallows.

So unless Grint’s comments were p🐈art of a clever scheme to help Watson secure a raise, he’s likely being beat🅘en up by a girl right now.

Still, we knew that Radcliffe would be coming back, since he’d already signed on when not thrusting his giblets about the stage in Equus. “Through the years, and in each of the 'Harry Potter' films, we have watched them grow into extraordinary young adults as well as remarkable actors," Warners president of production Jeff Robinov yammered to The Hollywood Reporter. "It would be inconceivable to imagine anyone else in the roles with which they have become so ide✨ntified, so we are thrilled and proud that Daniel, Rupert and Emma have chosen to complete the arc of their characters in the final two films."

He didn’t add that he has all three young thesps’ souls locked up in a dark chamber and that he controls their actions through the use of ma👍gical potions. Well, it could be true.

The latest film, Harry Potter And The Order Of The ꧃Phoenix꧅ arrives in cinemas on July 13.
