Apparently movie stars want to be just like normal people, only smarter. Emma Watson, who played Hermione Granger in the
Harry Potter movies, is going to college, but not just any one - Yale University.
"I never thought that I would want to go to America for university. As a child, I aspired to go to Oxford or Cambridge, because that's where my parents went. When my dad talks about his time there, he says it was the most incredible experience, she said." (Interview Magazine)
After being an uber-celebrity in England and a semi-recognizable face in America (where it really counts), Emma now wants to go back to her proper place: being a dork.
"For someone who has missed as much school as I have, I want to go back and discover what else there is," she said. "I always loved school - I was a proper, proper nerd. I just want that back again."
I don't think I could deal with being in class with Hermione Granger. I'd always want to cheat off her homework and bug her about the best way to kill a werewolf or how many Goblins died in the great Goblin Rebellion of 1812. Then she'd tell me that we're in basic algebra and to shut the hell up and stop calling her Hermione. It would be a magical moment.
