Emma Thompson Out of 'Deathly Hallows' for Next 'Nanny McPhee'
November 12, 2008 10:11:55Emma Thompson will miss out "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows". In a recent interview with MTV, the 49-year-old stated that she won't be making an appearance as Hogwarts' Divination Professor Trelawney in the last "Harry Potter" franchise, claiming that she chooses her "Nanny McPhee" project instead of the boy wizard film.
"No, no, no," she said when asked on the possibility of her coming back to the series. "I'm making my own 'Nanny McPhee' next year. They mean much more to me." Though Thompson has made it clear that she won't be seen once again as Trelawney, it is still unclear whether the character itself will still be included in "Deathly Hallows".
