Emma Watson Is Going to Brown!

She's really doing it!

While Harry Potter star Emma Watson has long been rumored to be attending Brown University in the fall (co-star Dan Radcliffe even accidentally said it), she has finally confirmed it to Paste Magazine.

She reveals, "I am [going to university this fall]—to Brown, which is an Ivy League establishment in the U.S.A. I’ve got a place there to read literature."

"I'm not trying to hide or anything like that. 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 explained. "That's how I escape stress—in literature."

Is she worried about fitting in with other normal college students, since, you know, she's kinda famous? Watson says, "That’s inevitable, I suppose, some of them must have seen the films over the years. But 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.'"

We have a feeling that won't be happening anytime soon.

I would borrow her clothes and find out what skin cream she uses. Oh, and attempt to duplicate her accent.

i wonder how she's going to film deathly hallows and go to university at the same time? that's going to be alot of hard work. filming on deathly hallows doesn't end until April 2010 and she's going off to college in september. but whatever im sure she will make it work. the girl is bloody intelligent.
