Emma Watson and the Invisibility Cloak

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix won't hit theatres until 2007, but Hogwarts is still setting Hollywood abuzz. It seems that one of the school's, er, film's most prestigious actors is considering leaving the series. The mystery dropout? Emma Watson. When Newsweek visited the movie set and asked if Emma would be re-signing a contract for the final two movies, the British actress said, "I don't know yet. I love to perform, but there are so many things I love doing." Ironically, Emma's the only one out of the three main actors who hasn't branched out since beginning the Harry Potter series. (Daniel Radcliffe has filmed two movies, and Rupert Grint starred in Driving Lessons.) But it might not be another profession that Emma's interested in. In fact, it could just be boys! Britain's The Sun newspaper recently reported that Emma's fame has inhibited her from dating, and she's sick of it. "People say to me, 'Oh it must be so easy for you - dating and boys. They must be lining up for you,'" she says. "It's really not easy. It's really not. I suppose guys are either kind of intimidated by me and have their defenses up, or the like to take the p**s out of me. And I'm surrounded by cute older guys on set. That's my problem." Please don't leave, Emma! Boys come and go, but Harry Potter is forever. Besides, think of all the spells you can learn to make a hottie fall in love with you…
