Harry Potter star Emma Watson is hoping university means privacy
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009Harry Potter star Emma Watson is hoping university life gives her a break from the public eye.
The 19-year-old actress, who is famous for her role as Hermione Granger in the hit film series, is planning to enrol at university later this year once filming ends on the Harry Potter films.
She said: “I’m so excited. Living in London, it’s hard to be anonymous. But hopefully, on some campus somewhere, I’ll fade into the background a bit.”
Emma admitted there is an appeal to studying in America as she would have more privacy.
She said: “I’m very aware that with Cambridge, people would find that interesting.
“Cambridge is so high profile in itself and then, on top of that, people don’t really go out in Cambridge because it’s so small, so I’ll be going out in London and then that’s just the same thing. I definitely am attracted to the States for that reason.”
Talking about filming the final Potter film, Emma admitted a big chapter is coming to an end.
She said: “It’s going to sound dramatic, but I feel like it’s going to be my life over as I know it. My whole life has been about Harry Potter and then all of that will shut down and I don’t know what it will be like.
“I go to university in September – I’ll be doing bits and bobs at Christmas, but September feels like my cut-off point, the moment when I’ll really stop.”
