Watson, who plays Potter’s friend, Hermione Granger, does not want to star in the sixth and seventh episodes of the series.
According to Sunday’s News of the World, the 16 year-old actress has turned down an offer of double her salary by the series producers. The paper reported that the actress was offered nearly $4 million per film.
While the management team at Warner continues to persuade the star to return, fans of the series will next see the young sorcerer in theatres in the film’s fifth episode, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
