Harry Potter star Emma Watson, 19, who plays Hermione in the popular film series, denies that she arrived by helicopter for her first day at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. She wrote yesterday on her official website: “Contrary to reports you may have read, I didn’t arrive by helicopter. I’ve only been in one once when I was little and I was terrified. I’m having the most amazing time. I’m still so excited to be here. I’ve already met so many incredible people. I’m over my jet lag now and I just want classes to start!” Watson is studying English Literature at the American university.
