What’s next for Emma?
Just like an ordinary 19-year-old, Emma Watson started college last month, wearing a plain white T shirt and denim shorts. She was soon making new friends, and she didn’t look like a movie star who has more than ￡10 million pounds! Most people know her as Hermione in the Harry Potter films, but she won’t be studying magic at her new university. She will study English Literature at Brown University* in exclusive Rhode Island (罗德岛州) in the USA.
She looked at many different universities before choosing Brown. Some people thought she would go to Cambridge University (剑桥大学) in England, or to Columbia (哥伦比亚大学) or Harvard (哈佛大学) in the United States. She chose Brown because it has had many celebrity students before and knows how to look after them. Now she says, “I do hope that it will be only a short time before I am known as ‘Emma Watson, the student from the UK’ not ‘Emma Watson who starred in those Harry Potter films.’”
She will be a very busy student as she is the face of the English fashion company, Burberry (巴宝莉), and she will still model for them. She must also finish the last Harry Potter film during her holidays from university. She’d like to be just another student, but as one of the richest young women in the world, it may be more difficult to be one of the crowd.
