‘Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince’  is out in theaters and now Emma Watson is finally putting to rest where she will be studying in the fall. Brown University has gotten the honor of having the Hermoine Granger actress and the girl who loves to read.

Paste: You are off to University in the autumn.

Watson:I am—to Brown, which is an Ivy League establishment in the U.S.A. I’ve got a place there to read literature.

Paste: And was that also an equally deliberate choice, to step out of the limelight for a while?

Watson: 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.

Emma is coming to the United States to study and will be returning to England to film the last two installments of the Harry Potter franchise. Hopefully the adjustment will be smooth for her and she will be able to study in relative peace.

It is difficult for any child actor to make the transition to adult actor and to be taken seriously in a role other than the one that made them famous. Add to that, the cultural impression a series of movies as large as ‘Harry Potter’  has had on us all and it’s a formidable task to undertake. That is the crossroads where Rupert Grint finds himself career-wise, as the HP series begins to film the final installment.

“It’s always at the back of my mind that acting might come to an end for me when Harry Potter finishes. I don’t know if I’m good enough to have a long career. I’ve got a bit of an inferiority complex about my acting. My self-esteem is quite low in that sense.”

For now Grint is intent on having some fun with his toys: he owns an ice-cream truck and hovercraft among other gadgets, but he does seem to want a future in movies.

“From here on, I don’t want to play it safe. I need to take on roles that are as far away from Harry Potter as it’s possible to get. If I’m to continue as an actor, I need to play characters that are nothing like me at all.”

I love watching Grint and can’t wait to see his last film ‘Cherrybomb.’  I hope he is able to distance himself from the Ron Weasley character in the way that Daniel Radcliffe is working on doing with Harry Potter. Emma Watson just doesn’t feel as passionately about acting as the other two but if she does try to continue on, she will need to do the same thing and take on roles that do not remind the audience of Hermione Granger. I for one, am rooting for them all!

Beautiful Emma Watson has been chosen to be the face of fashion house Burberry. She has been photographed by Mario Testino for the fall 2009 campaign and these shots show how gorgeous Watson is. Starting college here in the states at Yale University, the Harry Potter actress is rumoured to have been paid six figures to pose for the ads. That will help pay her tuition bills!

Promoting her new animated film, The Tale of Desperaux, actress Emma Watson is talking about all aspects of her life: college, future film roles, money, and co-stars. In the fourth Harry Potter film, Goblet of Fire, she starred with future Twilight heartthrob, Robert Pattinson. She is delighted for Pattison and has this to say:

5. What’s your take on all the buzz surrounding ‘Twilight,’ which stars ‘Potter’ alum Robert Pattinson?

God, it’s massive! I have no idea! I haven’t seen it, so I can’t really comment, but I’m just gob smacked by the amount of hype and publicity that it’s getting. It’s incredible. I mean, I’m so happy for Rob — he must be over the moon. I’m so happy that everything’s so successful for him — it’s amazing.

Watson talks about avoiding the paparazzi and where she’s applied to college (Harvard and Yale among others,) and how she stays in touch with Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint in between films.
