My SO is certain they'll stick with it, for the money, if for no 
other reason.  

Dan's already richer than the princes of England, isn't he?  He 
doesn't need to do ANYTHING for money, ever again in his life!  (And 
good for him AND for the British actors' union for getting him a 
decent salary after the first film!!)  But yeah, the studio is 
probably going to be offering them more and more to stick with the 
franchise to the end.  And just MAYBE they have some sense of "duty" 
or "honor" to want to see the project through, who knows?  I think 
Dan does, anyway, from things he's said in interviews.

invite that?  They're also still quite young at, 20, 21 and 22 by the 
end of movie seven, giving them ample time to break away from HP over 
the course of a career.

I think that's why the boys are doing films that are very different 
from HP now. I honestly don't know why Emma isn't following their 
example, unless she hasn't been offered anything that tempts her - or 
maybe she just likes to hang out with her friends in her off months 
more than working year-round as the boys apparently are doing (Dan, 
at least, since Rupert doesn't have nearly as many scenes in the HP 
films as Dan does).  The boys will be established as quality, 
experienced actors before the franchise ends with films such 
as "December Boys" and "Driving Lessons" and then there's "Equus."  
Yeah.  Nobody will ever doubt Dan's acting ability again if he can 
carry off that part!  And I believe he'll be brilliant in it.

I'd be right there next to you, waiting to give them my grandmotherly 
hug - or I might shove you rudely aside so I could be first!  LOL!
