With rumors floating around for awhile that Emma Watson wasn't going to return the the "Harry Potter" series, they were finally laid to rest as Warner Bros. announced that she would continue play the role of Hermione Granger in the final films of the series.
The other two of the inseparable trio, Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley and of course Daniel Radcliffe as "Harry" are all signed on now to finish the project.
Speaking through the Warner Bros. studio, Watson said, ""I could never let Hermione go - she is my hero!, I love her too much and love what playing her has meant to me."
The three have been the main characters which the story has revolved around, and it would have been difficult for fans to connect to a new actress playing the role.
So far the entire series has had gross sales of $3.5 billion through four installments. The fifth, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," is scheduled for release on July 13.
