Just like an ordinary 19-year-old girl, Emma Watson started college last month, wearing a plain white T-shirt and denim shorts. She was soon making new friends, and she didn’t look like a movie star who has more than 10 million pounds! Most people know her as Hermione in the Harry Potter films, but she won’t be studying magic at her new university. She will study English Literature at Brown University in the USA.
She looked at many different universities before choosing Brown. Some people thought she would go to Cambridge University in England, or to Columbia or Harvard in the United States. She chose Brown because it has had many celebrity students before and knows how to look after them. Now she says, “I do hope that it will be a short time before I am known as ‘Emma Watson, the student from the UK’ not ‘Emma Watson who starred in those Harry Potter films.’”
She will be a busy student as she is the face of the English fashion company, Burberry, and she will still model for them. She must also finish the last Harry Potter film during her holidays from university. She’d like to be just another student, but as one of the richest young women in the world, it may be difficult to be one of the crowd.
