'Hermione' turns down Potter contract

Harry Potter star Emma Watson has reportedly refused to sign a new contract to star in the last two movies in the J.K. Rowling fantasy series - despite being offered €2.9m to continue her role as Hermione Granger.

The 16-year-old - who was confronted by a crazed fan at her British school last week - has allegedly tired of her role as Harry Potter's best friend and wants to try new projects.
