LOS ANGELES, Calif -- While the cast of "Harry Potter" might stay hush about plotlines, "Half-Blood Prince" star Emma Watson has revealed an important change is in her future.
According to Paste magazine, Emma confirmed she will enroll as a college freshman at Brown University this fall.

"I am going to Brown, which is an Ivy League establishment in the U.S.A. I've got a place there to read literature," she revealed to the music mag.
In recent months, the studious star made a worldwide college tour that involved many stops on the East Coast and Great Britain. But although her "Potter" co-star Daniel Radcliffe previously told Britain's Guardian newspaper that Emma was attending Brown, the actress remained mum on the subject until now.

And with the cat out of the bag, Emma opened up about her enthusiasm for hitting the books.
"It sounds so geeky, but I really do like studying and reading, and if I'm not working on 'Harry Potter,' then my greatest relaxation is to sit with a book," she told Paste. "That's how I escape stress -- in literature. I always have several books on the go at any one moment, so it's no good you asking 'What's on the bedside table at the moment, Emma?' because often I can't even see the table."
Emma does realize that many at Brown will recognize her for her performances and not for her test scores, but she hopes her fellow students will get over it quickly.

"I do hope that it will be only a short time before I am known as 'Emma Watson, the student from the U.K.' rather than 'Emma Watson who starred in those 'Harry Potter' films.'"

ReplyDeleteSo, Emma is going to Brown University because it provides a place to read literature. Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't youfind places to read literature at just about any freaking university in the galaxy? ...at the local library down the street? ...in your living room? ...at a park? Seriously, what's so special about the place to read literature that Brown University offers?
What does Emma know that us muggles don't?
you can read literature at the starbucks across the street from my apartment building. people bring books there all of the time.
