Potter' Star Watson Is Set for Life

The Harry Potter franchise has set young Brit Emma Watson up for life - she insists she never has to work again once the film series ends. The teenager, who plays Hermione Granger in the Potter movies, had no idea the franchise would make her rich beyond her dreams when she auditioned for the first film as a 10-year-old. She now earns a reported $4 million for each Harry Potter film. She tells America's Parade magazine, "Let's be honest, I have enough money never to have to work again, but I would never want that." The sensible teen reportedly held out for extra money to complete the Potter series of films. She refuses to comment on the salary rumors, but insists agreeing to make three more films was not something she took lightly. She adds, "People underestimate what a big decision this was for me. This is the next three or four years of my life. Being in the spotlight and the lack of freedom are the sort of things that held me back."

Watson Plays Down "Stalker" Reports

My friends were quite shocked by how blase I was about it."

Watson Has No Time for Boyfriends

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire star Emma Watson is disappointed her busy acting career is an obstacle to finding love, because she doesn't have time for a boyfriend. The 15-year-old has spent the past few years hard at work on her movie series, which has left her with little time to enjoy the company of boys. She says, "This is my life: I live two hours from (the Harry Potter studios), in Oxford, so I get up at six in the morning and I'm gone until nine at night, and I do this for eleven months of the year. And, if I'm not here, I'm back at school trying to catch up on all the work I've missed, playing on all the teams I can get myself onto, and I'm trying to see my family and friends. So boys come pretty low down the list." She adds of her career, "It's restricting. Long hours. I miss my family a lot. But if I had the chance to do it again, in a million years I would always say yes. I'm so lucky."

Daniel Radcliffe, who plays the lead role in the Harry Potter movies, says he has no idea how much he has earned -- and will earn -- from them.

I'm not going to talk about it because people who do are often not very nice people."
