Emma Watson has confessed that she will be "ready" to leave the Harry Potter film series after completing work on The Deathly Hallows.

The actress, who has played Hermione Granger in the wizard franchise since 2001, told MTV that she has mixed emotions about leaving the character behind.

She said: "It will be bittersweet. It will be very scary because it's been such a massive part of my life. It will have been nearly over a decade that I'd been playing Hermione.

"It'll be tough but I’ll be ready to go I think. I'll be ready to take on other projects. It will be exciting."

Discussing Warner Bros's decision to split Deathly Hallows into two parts, Watson claimed that she knows little about where the divide will take place but expects the first part to end on a "cruel cliffhanger".
