We have to presume that Ms. Wanamaker is literate and on speaking terms 
with her agent, so if she didn't like her contract, she has nobody to blame but 
herself.   

It's pretty naive of her to believe (as she stated in the interview) that 
Radcliffe was offered only a pittance.  By the time he agreed to even consider 
the part, the producers were desperately looking down the gaping maw of an 
impending shooting schedule without a star.  His mom's in the business so she 
would have fully understood that they had the upper hand.

Wanamaker did a fabulous job as Mme. Hooch (IMHO), but since her later role 
seems to be only as quidditch referee, she shouldn't be surprised if they 
decide they can do without her next time.
