Emma Watson hopes for anonymity at university

Emma Watson on the Harry Potter set between takesEmma Watson, 19, who stars as Hermione in the Harry Potter movies, refuses to say which university she’s enrolled at for the upcoming school year. She’s been linked to several schools in both the UK and the US and will be studying for a degree in English Literature and Art. Watson told Teen Vogue: “I just want to keep it private for as long as I can. I probably sound like a paranoid nut, but I’m doing this because I want to be normal. I really want anonymity.” Though she’s currently filming the second last movie in the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I, which will be done before school starts, she’ll still need to film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II, but hopes the producers will work around her school time, explaining: “I’ve been saying that I wanted to go to university since I was eleven, so if they didn’t let me, I’d be pretty upset.” She added that she’ll probably film her scenes during the Christmas holidays.
