Emma Watson confirms attendance at Brown University
Emma Watson confirms attendance at Brown University For a long time now, rumors have been swirling concerning where actress Emma Watson will attend school in the United States. She has finally confirmed which school in a new interview with Paste Magazine:

Paste: You are off to University in the autumn.

Watson: I am—to Brown, which is an Ivy League establishment in the U.S.A. I’ve got a place there to read literature.

Paste: Was that a deliberate career choice?

Watson: Oh yes, very definitely. I hope to do quite well with my A Levels [she’s being modest—she achieved straight A’s in her chosen subjects, English literature, geography and art, as well as seven A’s and three A* at GCSE level] and they’ve provisionally accepted me, so I’m off to study.

Awesome!


Posted by hermionenessie Jul 21st 2009

Congratulations, Emma! You're going to love it; my sister just graduated from Brown and it is such an awesome school. I went to school in Providence, RI, as well, and it's such a nice city.

I can see the applications for Brown flooding in already....


Posted by rooon Jul 21st 2009

Agree with swans_rule_the_afl lol. It's gonna be crazy. But good luck to Emma Watson. I'm sure she'll do great!


Posted by alex_c98 Jul 21st 2009

Brown must be happy. She's likely going to influence tons of fans to choose Brown now, in hopes of meeting her. Though I question the difficulty of the GCSEs and the A levels, because I saw an article discussing the types of math questions they ask and it's all embarrassingly easy. A friend of mine from England agreed that the exams were far too easy. That's not to say I don't think Emma's intelligent! I can tell she's very bright. :)


Posted by hkxhsx Jul 21st 2009

How can someone be so beautiful, talented and intelligent? Makes me wonder what I've been doing my whole life. Jealousy is a dark, dark force.


Posted by CarGonza Jul 21st 2009

Aw, I was pulling for Yale, but oh well. Good luck to her and I hope people leave her alone :)


Posted by paranoid4 Jul 21st 2009

Shes So Intelligent and Beautiful!! :) i wonder who will she be married with o_o :P :P anyway Good Luck to Emma Hope your fans willlet you study :P


Posted by hpfreak328 Jul 21st 2009

please, oh, please don't be like the Olson twins and not do any studying!!


Posted by Shattered_Fantasy Jul 21st 2009

apparently it is a fake article, as she took part in a video interview after this article came out which denied having said anything and she still did not say what uni she would be attending. She said the first place to hear what uni she had chosen would be on Emma Watson Official..


Posted by StapleSauce Jul 21st 2009

ew brown, lol. i nearly applied there but was severely turned off by it in the end. Harvard's got its issues too but it would have been nice to see her go there...but hey, if she likes brown, more power to her, eh?


Posted by always_25121999 Jul 21st 2009

i don't believe it, i think it's a fake article, she wouldn't speak so openely about where she was going in this interview, and then keep it a complete secret in all the others, in the full article it says at one point 'i'm looking forward to working with them' (talking about burberry) would she not say 'working with them more'? or 'i enjoyed working with them'? she said the first place she'll declare it is on EWO and i believe that, she may be going to brown , but i don't believe this article is real, some answers are almost word for word from other interviews,


Posted by iwantorlando05 Jul 21st 2009

Congrats Emma!!! You go girl!!! :D


Posted by ginnydanj1018 Jul 21st 2009

She's so like Hermione! haha. Congrats Emma!:D :D


Posted by MadForNeville Jul 21st 2009

I think Emma's going to Brown too. Dan Radcliffe spilled the beans in an interview a couple weeks ago. IMO, this article is fake. Most of the quotes from Emma were lifted from old interviews or just made up. But wherever she decides to go, CONGRATULATIONS Emma!


Posted by hooked_on_Harry Jul 21st 2009

congrats to emma. maybe she can stop in to see jason isaacs. i hear he has a house in RI as well. i'll just have to drive by there more often now "wink" "wink" (i only live about 10 mins away!)


Posted by krazykobra29 Jul 21st 2009

yay for her! finally all thse rumours can stop


Posted by xopinkribbon Jul 21st 2009

Yay! I go to college right near there, I wonder if I'll ever see her. Haha.


Posted by HPbrownLove1 Jul 21st 2009

oo i was betting on yale.. but nice! brown's pretty good! i'm applying there.. dunno if i'll get in though haha


Posted by faridaswelim Jul 21st 2009

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN 2 YEARS SINCE DEATHLY HALLOWS. IT HASN'T BEEN POSTED, BUT I THINK IT'S WORTH CELEBRATING. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Posted by Adeline Jul 21st 2009

Wow, yea... thats definitely a fake article, it doesn't sound like the way Emma would usually respond to any of the questions in fact. I hate that they keep doing this to her, cause then HP fans get mad at her and call her a liar later... when really its the media's fault :(


Posted by fireboltfire Jul 21st 2009

Congratulations Emma! not only is she talented, and beautiful but smart too. Good on you girl!


Posted by nME Jul 21st 2009

Fake, and hpfreak238, even if she did go to college, she would be amazing. (:


Posted by poiuyt Jul 21st 2009

for the average 16 year old, GCSEs are hard, and for the average 18 year old, A Levels are hard. But Emma's obviously above average, so they weren't that hard for her, which is why she did so well. The average for GCSEs is probably Cs. Emma really has it all haha. I wish she'd attend a uni in England though, maybe Oxford or Cambridge :)


Posted by HarryPotteraaf Jul 21st 2009

that is great!!!! I was hopeing she would go to Colombia, liek the rumors were saying. Only because I have a better chance in getting into Colombia than Brown ;) haha. But anyways if Emma's going to Brown thats incredible. Good Luck Emma.


Posted by moaningmyrtle012 Jul 21st 2009

Yay!!! My brother goes to Brown, and he told me that everyone on campus knew she was going there for a while now- she just hadn't confirmed it to the public so they couldn't say anything. But it should be great for her to spend some time in college away from the paparazzi once the films are over.


Posted by Tonks1975 Jul 21st 2009

How in the world is she going to ever go to be able to learn? She will never be left alone. I think maybe a fake because why would she post it in advance? That will just make it harder to learn if people are only there to see her. Crazy. I wish her luck in where ever she decides to go.


Posted by HpAlwaysN4ever Jul 21st 2009

I read that she wants to have a roommate that isn't a HP fan. I don't even understand how she can live on campus. I feel like she won't be able to trust anyone. Everyone is going to want to be friends with her because she's famous. :/


Posted by Ganger345 Jul 21st 2009

Emma is my ultimate hero and role model!!!!!! She is truley amazing!


Posted by hpintwense06 Jul 21st 2009

Well, if that is true, congrats to her! I think it's great that she will be going to college. I hope that after a while people will just treat her like a normal student and not someone famous.


Posted by ukDiscstyle Jul 21st 2009

Come on Mugglenet, take this news piece down... so obviosuly a fake article. Last things she needs is the #1 HP fansite spreading such bilge.


Posted by Carlikinz Jul 21st 2009

That is great (: as where i am headed as well actually! if this artical is real, i hope to meet Ms.Emma Watson!!


Posted by quidditchwitch Jul 21st 2009

THIS IS A FALSE CLAIM. Emma Watson said that the first place she would announce her choice is on her website, and there has been absolutely no post on her website yet.


Posted by Molly_Polly Jul 21st 2009

To all the people who think it's false, Paste is a legitimate entertainment (but mostly music) magazine. I don't think they'd make stuff up. They're a good magazine, actually. Plus, Dan let it slip earlier.


Posted by invisibilitycloak Jul 21st 2009

oooh now i want to go to brown for school :):)


Posted by Kaylie Jul 21st 2009

1) This says "I hope to do well on my A-levels" and Emma took her A-levels a couple years ago. 2) Emma has been clearly saying "no" when interviewers for the HBP press tour asked her to tell them where she is going to college. 3) Emma does not want fans and paparazzi following her around while she is attending college. I CANNOT BELIEVE Mugglenet posted this. Read some of the comments... people are talking about looking for her and trying to get into the college that she attends.


Posted by G_wizzle Jul 21st 2009

FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO THINK THIS IS FAKE DAVID HEYMAN ALSO CONFIRMED THAT SHE'S GOING TO BROWN. Just because it's not on her website yet doesn't mean it's not true.


Posted by iwantorlando05 Jul 21st 2009

@Kaylie: Maybe this is an old interview that she gave before she decided to keep her school choice quiet or maybe she has changed her mind since then. But Daniel Radcliffe and David Heyman both HAVE said that she's going to Brown. So even if this article is fake that seems like the likely choice. But it is weird that it sounds like she doesn't know what she got on her A-Levels....hmmmm....


Posted by trueligth Jul 21st 2009

First, good for her if she is thinking more about her career and her future. There are many actors ans actresses that see our career after everything goes out. Second this is part of growing up young people (College) need to have so they can made their minds. Third, good for her because she is doing something more in her life.


Posted by hermionenessie Jul 21st 2009

now that you all mention it, the article does seem fake. but dan confirmed it himself and my sister who went to brown is convinced that she's going there. but i guess we'll just have to wait and see...


Posted by horas1 Jul 21st 2009

Someone from my family has been at Brown University since it first started as Moses Brown. It is in the top three in Literature. The other two are in England. Safety, very walled off from people just wondering around like most University's. At night it becomes a fortress. The area around it is in the city of Providence and it stinks. In spight of that said, great luck and she will learn and have a lot of fun living a different life. Great thinking Miss. Watson. horas 1


Posted by aharleyrider4u Jul 21st 2009

There's going to be an awful lot of young men hanging around Brown come fall! I wonder if they'll need to increase campus security? There's a lot of loonies out there.


Posted by cher88 Jul 22nd 2009

In Korea they all blindly believe she is going to go to Ivy League, so where on earth is she going to? Yale, Brown, Columbia or Harvard?? I have no idea and further doubt if it may be some kind of Image-Making for selling the movie. It makes me afraid of her to go to a NEXT university.


Posted by always_25121999 Jul 22nd 2009

i've just notice dit got her GSCE results COMPLETELY wrong, it said she got 7 A's and three A*'s that's not true, she got 8 A*'s and 2 A's , and emma did sound as thoguh she hadn't got her A'level results yet, she may be going to brown, but no one but it's just not public knowledge yet! even if by chance she is goign to brown that dosen't make this article any less shoddy and fake!


Posted by 13hplover13 Jul 22nd 2009

Brown wasn't actually her first choice. She got rejected from Cambridge (UK) - I know this cause she applied to my sisters college there. Whilst her results appear to be outstanding, any from the uk will know that the vast majority of those that actually work will get these kinda grades. Plus she's obviously had some ridiculously expensive education with like the best schools/tutors that the uk has to offer. And after all that she can't even frickin' act! Perhaps better in HBP but I'll never forgive her for the worse ever acting performance I've ever seen ever in OOTP... And just as an example, at my school (a state school as in you don't pay a dime for it) around 10% of the 180 people in 6th form will get straight As. In my maths class most of the people are taking 6 A levels and will get AAAAAA, so don't be wowed by this pathetic attempt at percieved academia... Rant over!


Posted by cgeinert Jul 22nd 2009

So if it's fake, I wonder if that means she's not really going to Brown. It sounded like that was where she was going in one of the interviews a few weeks ago, anyway.


Posted by OpaquePlatelets Jul 22nd 2009

Look, regardless of what college she's going to, she is GOING to college. I think she deserves our respect for retaining some normalcy in her life.


Posted by littletim Jul 23rd 2009

u have all of swedens congratulations Emma!


Posted by explodingplant Jul 24th 2009

ahhh! i applied to brown! it was my #1 choice! they rejected me :( no i just feel worse about the whole ordeal!!!!

Messing up your hair because you think it looks cool to look like you've just got off your broomstick, showing off with that stupid Snitch, walking down corridors and hexing anyone who annoys you just because you can — I'm surprised your broomstick can get off the ground with that fat head on it. You make me SICK.

Lily Evans
Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 28, Page 648
