If Daniel Radcliffe confessed to having had a little crush on Helena Bonham Carter, Emma Watson made a less funny confession. The actress who played Hermione Granger has revealed that she had considered leaving the saga along the way, around the time of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
Emma Watson hesitated to continue
When David Yates took up the torch after the previous directors to direct the fifth installment of the saga, the producers and the studio warned him that“Emma wasn’t sure she wanted to go on and make another movie.”
The actress recalled this hesitation when she found her diary and realized that“she felt lonely sometimes”. A feeling that Tom Felton had understood, who was camping Draco Malfoy: “We often forget what she had to endure, and she did it with grace. Dan and Rupert supported each other. I had my friends. Emma was younger and all alone.”

But that did not prevent him ultimately from continuing the Harry Potter adventure: “No one had to convince me to go through with it. The fans wanted us to succeed and we all really supported each other. There is nothing better.”
