Emma Watson Almost Quit Harry Potter (And More Cast Secrets)
1,106Being part of the Harry Potter franchise sounds like a dream come true, but the reality involved quite a few scandals, especially with the younger actors.
Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint all seriously considered leaving their roles after a few films for reasons varying from feeling like their entire life was being controlled by the productions, feeling overwhelmed by the fame and worries about being typecast in Hollywood forever.
For Emma Watson, the demanding schedule became too much and with the desire to pursue academics as well, the actress was really torn about whether or not she would be happy continuing to play Hermione. Radcliffe went through quite a few troubles, which is no surprise considering all the pressure he found himself under! The actor struggled with drinking and had inappropriate relationships with fans. Ron Weasley actor Rupert Grint found himself in some trouble when a photo circulated of an extremely similar looking redhead consuming cannabis at a party. It seems like this issue might run in the family- Ginny Weasley actress Bonnie Wright was caught in a photo rolling what looked like a joint, but what the substance in her hands actually was has never been confirmed. One Harry Potter actor did get into quite a bit of trouble for his drug involvement. The Hogwarts bully Crabbe actor was caught with a copious amount of cannabis in his car and a growing operation in his home.
It wasn’t just the young actors though - there was a seriously awkward love triangle between Emma Thompson, Kenneth Branagh and Helena Bonham Carter. Thompson and Branagh were married until Thompson learned her husband had been having an affair with Bonham Carter and years later, they all wound up in the franchise together!
