Emma Watson News 2014: The "Harry Potter" star is set to graduate from a private research university in Providence, Rhode Island. Best known for her role as Hermione Granger in "Harry Potter" series, Watson, 24, will join the club of awesome female celebrities with Ivy League degrees that includes Natalie Portman (Harvard), Rashida Jones (Harvard), Mindy Kaling (Dartmouth) and Maggie Gyllenhaal (Columbia) according to Daily Life.
According to Just Jared, the star of Noah started her education at the college in 2009. Just like many other interesting people that people know it's taken her a little longer to finish her degree. It took five years to earn her diploma as she took a break in 2011 to focus on her career amid the release of the final Harry Potter film.
"She took a "gap year" after the Harry Potter movies, did a few semesters at Oxford, took a few off and oh, made a few blockbuster movies in the middle," Daily Life stated.
The actress recently described her experience of being a famous actress in school.
"I guess everyone in their freshman [first] year is nervous and figuring it all out," she said in an interview posted in Express. "I think people took pity on me. 'She's English, she doesn't really know where she's going.' Brown were weirdly protective of me. They saw it as their role to help me have that experience," she added.
Watson told Express that her father Chris has been waiting for her to put on a cap and gown but was left confused about the American schooling system.
"My parents can't really get their heads around it. In England we graduate in three years and my dad's like, 'When is this happening? When is graduation because you've been doing this now for ages?' He's very impatient," the actress described.
Emma Watson will graduate with a degree in English literature from Brown University this Sunday.
