Emma Watson may go 'poof!'
Emma Watson is considering giving up acting. The Harry Potter star - who plays brainbox Hermione Granger in the hit movie franchise - would be willing to axe her film career if she can't find other fulfilling roles. She said: "I don't have a burning passion for acting. Until something comes along that I feel as strongly about as I did Hermione - like I felt that it was life or death - I don't want to act again." The 19-year-old beauty also revealed she is struggling to cope with the hectic schedule of promoting new movie Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and filming the final two instalments of the boy-wizard franchise. She said: "I don't think I've ever been this tired in my life. I literally wear my pyjama bottoms to set. I roll out of bed and put on a hoodie and some UGG boots."
