Emma Watson considered quitting acting because of the pressure of the 'Harry Potter' films.
The 23-year-old actress had her breakthrough role at the tender age of nine as witch Hermione Granger in the wizard franchise and although she is grateful for the opportunity, the relentless schedule of the franchise and interest in her life left her questioning whether she wanted a future in the movie business.
Speaking about whether she has moved on from the franchise in the new issue of Total Film magazine, Emma said: "Kind of - it's funny because people are probably playing the films somewhere right now but for me it happened three or four years ago.
"I basically took two years out and stepped as far away from it as I could - I mean the 'HP' films were still coming out but I took time to really try and figure out who I was and what I wanted to do. I even considered not being an actress."
The brunette beauty has taken on her most "challenging" role to date in director Sofia Coppola's new film 'The Bling Ring' and she had to think long and hard about how to portray her character Nicki - a California teen who steals from celebrities - in a way in which people can relate to.
