Harry Potter star Emma Watson may not return for the final two films in the series because she wants to move on to new projects.

According to the News of the World, Emma’s told producers that doubling her pay packet to £2million a movie won’t make her change her mind because “she’s tired of being known as ‘that girl from Harry Potter‘.”

A source from Warner Brothers confirmed that Emma, who plays Hermione Granger in the films, has not yet signed up for any more films but a spokesperson for the studio added: “We’re extremely confident that Emma will be back for films six and seven.”

Filming on the sixth film Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is due to start later in the year with release next summer while the seventh film, The Deathly Hallows is scheduled for release in 2010.

The rumours of Emma’s decision comes in the wake of the news that she’s had to hire a bodyguard after an obsessive fan started attending open lectures at her school in order to be close to her.

A source told the Sun that the man, in his 20s, “was an admirer who was over-zealous. He found out there were some open lectures at the school and attended them.”

“He left Emma alarmed when he approached her and started talking to her about the Potter films. The school was informed and so were Emma’s parents. The decision was made to call in the police as the man was not known to her. A minder was also hired to be with her.”

“The police spoke to the man and he was warned off in no uncertain terms. [But] there have been further incidents since they spoke to him.”

“Not only was this worrying for Emma but also very frustrating. She and all the other young actors on Harry Potter have made great efforts to lead normal lives.”

“They have schooled as normally as possible around the acting roles, have lots of school friends and hobbies and are just young people growing up.”

“She will try not to let this change the way she has to live her day to day life, but obviously the priority is her safety.”
