Emma Watson denies '50 Shades of Grey' rumors

Harry Potter fans can breathe easy. Hermione Granger hasnt gone to the dark side just yet.

Earlier this week, the internet was abuzz with rumors that Emma Watson may be set to star in the film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey. But perhaps this declaration is a tad premature given that Watson herself doesnt seem to know anything about the role.

I havent read the book, I havent a read a script, nothing, Watson told Entertainment Weekly.

The actress complained that shes frequently linked with projects she doesnt intend to work on. There are so many movies you become attached to when Ive literally never even received a phone call, she said. It was the same way with The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo I never even saw a script!

Perhaps its a good thing that Watsons put the kibosh rumors. According to Britains The Week, rumors of the former child star ignited a hailstorm of aghast reactions in the UK. For the fans who thought Hermiones smooch with Ron was as juicy as it got, seeing their favorite witch trading her wand for a whip might be a tad disconcerting.
