The Harry Potter series is finally over and the lead stars of the franchise are getting involved in other projects. Daniel Radcliffe started it with a successful movie, The Woman in Black. Emma Watson, the other Harry Potter lead star is set to star in her next Hollywood venture.

The 21-year-old star will play the lead role in a burglary movie titled Bling Ring, directed by Sofia Cappola, daughter of the legendary film maker Francis Ford Cappola.

Bling Ring is based on a true story about a group of young girls, who were arrested in 2009 for a series of infiltration into the homes of top Hollywood stars including Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton.

This movie will be produced by Sofia's brother Roman Cappola and Youree Henley.
