Actors wary of being 'Potter' dolls

NEW YORK — Kids may be thrilled to own action figures of the young heroes in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," but the actors the dolls are modeled after aren't looking forward to being toyed with.

"Oh, they're scary. They are scary. To think that people are going to be playing with you," said Rupert Grint, who plays Harry's friend, Ron Weasley.

"I feel like a voodoo doll," added Emma Watson, who plays their brainy buddy, Hermione Granger. "It's grim. It's gross."

And besides, Watson said, the dolls don't even resemble her.

"There's too many of them. There's the Hermione Granger doll, the Hermione action figure," she said. "An average of them didn't really look like me. Some of them did but others just didn't look anything like me."

"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," starring Daniel Radcliffe as the young wizard, has grossed more than $188 million in just 10 days.
