The pretty actress is also said to be worried about signing a contract that will keep her busy until she is 20, according to the Daily Express.
Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint will reprise their roles as Harry and Ron, and filming was due to start in the next few months.

The role of Hermione Granger is Emma’s debut into professional acting - and what a debut! Emma didn’t expect to get the part at all, as she was competing against so many other actresses. But luckily for Harry Potter fans - she did!
Away from acting, Emma is an avid hockey player, recently receiving her colors for the school team. She also enjoys rounders and netball, and likes to take part in all kinds of school activities including athletics and sculling. Her parents are both lawyers and are divorced, so Emma lives with her mother and younger brother Alex, 9.
