A very glamorous Emma Watson is reunited with her rather scruffy Harry Potter co-stars

All together: Emma Watson joined her Harry Potter co-stars Daniel Radcliffe, right, and Rupert Grint at Claridge's Hotel in London last night


In her stunning one-shoulder dress, perfectly styled hair and bright lip stick, Emma Watson looked undeniably magical.

But while the 20-year-old actress was impeccably turned out, her co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint were not quite so sartorially charming.

The Harry Potter trio were reunited last night at a glitzy event at Claridge's Hotel in London.

Emma looked elegant in her black velvet Vionnet dress - but Rupert, 22, and Daniel, 21, just played it casual in jeans and T-shirts.

The reception was put on to mark Warner Bros - the studio behind the hit film series - buying up Leavesden Studios in Watford, which was announced earlier this week.

Harry Potter was filmed there and the U.S. firm said it was planning a £100 million expansion of the studio, which was used for all eight Harry Potter films and other recent blockbusters such as The Dark Knight and Inception.

The expansion programme, due for completion in 2012, will mean the studios will represent around a third of Britain's total film stage space.

It is the first time a Hollywood studio has purchased its own permanent production facility in the UK.

Warner said the expansion would create around 1,500 jobs at the studio and a further 300 for building and specialist contractors.

Emma, Daniel and Rupert will be reunited again today for the premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, which is being held in London Leicester Square, where fans have been camping out since yesterday.

But after finishing film the hugely successful movie Franchise, Emma has admitted that she is not sure if she will continue acting in the future.

The actress, named this year as Hollywood's highest-paid female star, is currently enrolled in Brown University in the U.S. - and insists she may never go back to acting once graduated.

'I really don't know,' she says, asked if she will pursue her acting career once out of university. 'I'm figuring it out. I just want to make sure it's what I really want to do and it's going to make me happy.'

Watson - who admits fame has proved 'pretty scary' - knows for certain that Hollywood is not going to get in the way of her studies.

'Brown comes first, work second,' she told Marie Claire magazine in the U.S. 'I want to be educated. I want a degree.

'I'm going to work for the rest of my life, but I'm not going to get this time back - this time to have fun and make friends, to be myself, to make discoveries
