Harry Potter hottie Emma Watson has confirmed to confirmed to Paste Magazine that she will be attending Brown University starting this fall!

Paste: You are off to University in the autumn.
Emma: I am off to Brown, which is an Ivy League establishment in the US. I’ve got a place there to read literature.

Paste: Is that a deliberate career choice?
Emma: Oh yes, very definitely. I hope to do quite well with my A Levels [she's being modest, she achieved straight A's in her chosen subjects, English literature, geography and art, as well as seven A's and three A* at GCSE level] and they’ve provisionally accepted me, so I’m off to study.

Paste: Do you want to step out of the spotlight for a while?
Emma: It’s not so much that, no, 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. That’s how I escape stress, in literature. I always have several books on the go at any one moment, so it’s no good you asking ‘What’s on the bedside table at the moment, Emma?’ because often I can’t even see the table! I think that all that reading is just about the only similarity I have with Hermione, if you ask me.

Paste: It’s going to be vastly different environment.
Emma: Yes, and that’s what makes it all so exciting. I’ll be sorry to leave all my family and friends behind, but hey, it’s only a few hours’ flight home so…

Paste: Nevertheless, it’s a long way to bring the washing home for mum to run through.
Emma: [Laughs] True. But that’s what the boys do, don’t they? Women just get on with it and do it themselves.

Paste: Even so, some of your fellow students are going to recognize you.
Emma: 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.”

Paste: And studying will mean that a film career is put on the back burner for a while?
Emma: Not entirely, no, there are end of term breaks where I could do something if someone asks me, and I liked the idea. It all depends, doesn’t it? Acting and studying are in no way mutually exclusive, are they? Going there will mean a bit of “normality” for a while. It certainly doesn’t mean that I will never act again, that’s not true. There’s been a lot of confusion in the media about that, and most of it is ill informed—I seem to have managed pretty well up to this point! And also don’t forget that I’m also very interested in fashion, and in modeling, which I enjoy. I enjoy photo shoots, because there it seems that the cameramen (or camerawomen) look at me very differently.
