By MICHAEL HINMANFrom syfyportal, Fresh off sidestepping reports that she was leaving the Harry Potter franchise by signing a new multi-million dollar contract, reports are surfacing that Hermione Granger's Emma Watson created headaches on the set of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" with what some are describing a star's ego.
While filming "Order of the Phoenix" last year, Watson apparently argued with film director David Yates about the number of takes he was requiring for various scenes, at one point reportedly asking Yates if she was contractually obliged to do so many takes.
Yates, according to reports, averages about 30 takes per scene as a way to "get everything right," according to Bang Showbiz.
The answer Watson received from Yates, by the way, was a "Yes."

Soon after filming, Watson had been talking about leaving the franchise, but later decided to return when Warner Bros. offered her $4 million to finish out the seven movies. However, the actress said it wasn't the money that was motivating her thoughts on leaving.
"I'd really be interested to kind of train properly because I feel I shouldn't be here," Watson said. "I've kind of come from nowhere and gone straight in at the top. Where do I go from here? I feel like I need to backtrack and work my way through again."
Watson also said it was difficult to juggle school and filming, and that she had been leaning toward cutting out the movie work until her school life had calmed down.
"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" opens July 11.

If you ignore that bristle of contempt at the words "straight in at the top," that quote from her is actually fairly insightful.
