In a recent interview with Harry Potter stars Dan discusses Order of the Phoenix and the sixth book, while Emma and Rupert discuss their characters as well as how they feel about rumors of them leaving the series:
DVD Review: Do you ever worry about reading each new Potter book in case you don't like it?
Dan: When the sixth book came out, if it hadn't been good, I would have thought, "Oh, that's disappointing, do I really want to do this?" But I read the book and really enjoyed it, so the idea of being in the film isn't daunting, it's exciting.
DVD Review: What are you looking forward to most in the next film?
Dan: All the teaching stuff, when Harry forms the DA. I think that's all really interesting and heroic, but understated heroic stuff. And what I think is really fantastic about the fifth one is Harry's relationships with Neville Longbottom and Sirius Black. Particularly Neville, because they have so much in common and they don't know it.
DVD Review: Do you feel you're becoming more or less like your characters as the films go on?
Rupert: We've all been together for so long and worked together for so long, we don't have to act at being friends because we all are.
Emma: I remember, during the first two films particularly, denying very strong that I was even close to Hermione's character. But after the third one and particularly now I'm thinking that she might not be such a bad role model. So actually I don't mind too much.
Rupert: Ron and me have both got ginger hair and I'm quite scared of spiders. Stupid things like that.
DVD Review:There are constant rumours that each film will be your last. Are you happy to do more?
Rupert: I've just finished school so I've got nothing else to do...
Emma: What I would say about working on the Harry Potter films is that every day is different and every set is different, and you do learn something new every day. And there are always new actors. I feel that it's still challenging me, definitely.

Wow, there is no question about it that the producers would have a hard time replacing them, not to mention the reaction from the fans.

It would be great, if all three stick together until the final movies. I am sure not too many would see it, if they would change any of them.

Wonderful to hear from the actors themselves that the rumors are not true. It will be fabulous for this trio to complete the series, unpresidented really. These actors seem always to be very open with their interviews and that continues to keep them interesting.

Well, of course they're open in their interviews now... wait until they get a little bit older, they'll have things to hide.

Rupert's so funny, he doesn't have anything better to do?!? hehe! They ahd all better stick around, because they all just play the parts so well. If they stop now, no one will want to continue watching because it'll be just so different!

I think Rupert and Dan are a lock. Emma is the big question mark. Hopefully, she couldn't stand the thought of someone else taking her role, and that will keep her there.

Going by the short snippet above, I see no reason for the mains (or anyone else for that matter) to be replaced. They on'y have two more movies to go after the one currently in production, and I doubt they'd grow too much more (only a little).

I really don't think that anyone who has already had a major or even semi-major role in the movies could be replaced by any other actor/actress. If that happened, it just wouldn't cut it with the fans.

I'm glad they are interested in the books too and enjoy reading them. I suppose if they hadn't read the books or weren't fans of them their performances wouldn't be as good as they wouldn't fully understand the charactor. I hope they'll all stick it through to the end - it would be a shame to have new lead charactors in the last 2 films!

Very interesting interview with the trio!! How could anyone think that they wouldn't want to continue with the HP films! They do such a great job and and I'm sure I can say for most of us, that the fans enjoy their portrayals also!!

Hermione-half&half says:
It's not just a case of the trio not wanting to continue with the films, it's also a case of whether they grow too fast, or faster than the characters anyway. That's something the casting director and producers have to be aware of, as do the actors themselves.
