Emma is said to have confronted the director of ‘Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix’, David Yates, and asked him whether she was contractually obliged to do so many takes. Yates – who prefers to do around 30 takes to get everything just right – politely told her “yes”. The young actress threatened to quit the Harry Potter series but was allegedly lured back with a ?2 million contract to keep playing Hermione for the full seven films.
