Emma Watson has changed her mind and will not return to Brown University this fall.

In March the actress left a statement on her blog saying she was taking a semester off from college so she could handle some new professional jobs and close out the Harry Potter movies.

Late last week, online reports surfaced that she would be dropping out of the Rhode Island institution because of bullying but her spokesperson says not so fast: it’s just a change in the courses she wants to pursue, and Brown doesn’t offer them.

Vanessa Davies, spokesperson for the 21 year-old actress said Emma “absolutely loved her time at Brown” making many good friends from her short time there.

Davies does say Watson will be attending a different college in the fall, but did not name which university.

Watson will have lots of chances to answer questions about this soon – she will be doing loads of press for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 in the coming months.

She is scheduled to start work on The Perks of Being a Wallflower with Logan Lerman, Nina Dobrev and Mae Whitman next month.

Emma Watson is taking a temporary time out from her college studies.

The 20 year-old actress and student has decided she’s trying to juggle to many projects while attending classes and needed to focus on one or the other. For now her movie making obligations win.

Watson posted this message on her website:

Hi everyone

As you know, I love Brown and I love studying pretty much more than anything but recently I’ve had so much to juggle that being a student AND fulfilling my other commitments has become a little impossible.

I’ve decided to take a bit of time off to completely finish my work on Harry Potter (the last one comes out this summer) and to focus on my other professional and acting projects. I will still be working towards my degree… it’s just going to take me a semester or two longer than I thought : )

Hope you are all well! Thank you for all your continuing support.

Emma’s got a lot going on with Harry Potter promotional duties, her role in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, maybe starring in Incarceron with Taylor Lautner, more eco-conscious clothing with Alberta Ferretti – that’s a lot of responsibilities besides studying!

I’m sure she thought this over long and hard and made the best choice she could for herself.

Emma Watson has been the face of Burberry for a while and now the company is adding another Watson to it’s roster: her brother Alex. The fashionable siblings smolder and look fabulous for the new Spring Summer 2010 ad campaign for the venerable clothing company. Love Emma!

Emma Watson took a little time away from her studies at Brown University to attend the Burberry After Party for London’s fashion week. Watson shimmered in the gold dress from the venerable fashion house. Emma is the advertising face of Burberry and represented them very well at the party.
