“Is this a money-spinner?”: Emma Watson Was “Not Immediately Impressed” With One WB Decision for Harry Potter Despite a Cool $30M Paycheck

Emma Watson had doubts about Warner Bros. choosing to release the conclusion of the Harry Potter franchise in two parts, fearing it was simply a money-driven decision.

When Emma Watson, who played Hermione in the franchise, heard about the decision to split the final film into two parts, she couldn’t help but be a skeptic.
In her eyes, it seemed like Warner Bros. was trying to milk the franchise for all it was worth.
However, Watson wasn’t all wrong as well, even though the decision paid off massively, with both movies grossing $2.3 billion collectively against a budget of $250 million.
