Witch future? Emma Watson set to quit school for Hollywood?
Her school days at Hogwarts might well be over, but now according to sources Harry Potter actress Emma Watson is quitting Brown University for good.
The 22-year-old starlet has postponed her return to Brown, where she is taking a literature course, until next year so she can pursue a number of big Hollywood film offers.
In the past, the actress is said to have been “frustrated” with her attempts to fit in with other students and was once teased while attending a college football game.
Though she has said she loved Brown and also loves “studying pretty much more than anything,” last year on her official website Watson wrote that she had “decided to take a bit of time off,” to focus on her acting.
Recently, while taking a break from shooting her forthcoming movie, Noah’s Ark, opposite Russell Crowe, Watson was spotted with her mother Jacqueline at a chic resort in East Hampton, near New York seeking some inspiration for self-fulfillment by reading the bestselling book The Alchemist.
Brown University this week confirmed Emma was on leave but would not comment on when she would return or how she would make up for a missed semester.
Watson joined the university in Providence, Rhode Island, in September 2009; she originally chose to study in the U.S because of the broad curriculum offered by the American education system.
Perhaps Miss Watson had just spent too many years at Hogwarts… She’s a smart girl, I am sure she’ll do well whatever she decides…
