Emma Watson has made the switch from Hogwarts to Oxford by reportedly signing up for a part-time creative writing degree course at the prestigious university. The 33-year-old actress, best known for her role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series, was last seen on screen in the 2019 film Little Women, directed by Greta Gerwig.
Her Master’s course at Oxford will have her attending just a few lectures in person, with the majority of her work being completed online. A source revealed to The Sun that the course is designed for older adults and can be done at a part-time pace, which fits perfectly with Emma’s busy schedule. She will only need to physically be on campus for a few days each year, as she can complete the rest of the coursework from the comfort of her own home.
New environment, new adventure: At 33 years old, Emma Watson has traded in the magical world of Hogwarts for the historic city of Oxford. Rumor has it she has decided to pursue a part-time degree in creative writing at the University, as seen in a photo taken on Thursday.
Going back to school, Emma will only need to attend a few lectures in person for her Masters course, as the majority of her work will be done online. Due to her celebrity status, she will have a security team with her when she goes to classes for her safety. The university staff has been informed about this arrangement to ensure everything goes smoothly.
The college charges £20,000 for the two-year course, which includes two retreats and a research placement. MailOnline has reached out to Emma’s representatives for a statement on the matter. Despite recent events with a suspected stalker targeting her, Emma has been seen looking chic at various events during Milan Fashion Week.
During New York Fashion Week, a man named Chad Michael Busto tried to enter Emma’s dressing room and was subsequently arrested. He caused a disturbance by yelling at makeup artists and models in a dressing room at the venue.
Major opportunity: The actor gained recognition for her role as Hermione Granger in the iconic Harry Potter movies starring alongside Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe.
Flashback: The last time she graced the big screen was in the 2019 film “Little Women,” helmed by director Greta Gerwig. In a recent incident, a man reportedly shouted that he wanted to marry Emma Watson and demanded to speak with her and take a photo with her, as per court documents. However, it remains unclear if the actress was actually present during the alleged encounter. The man, Chad, was later released from prison with no bail set, as the prosecutor deemed the offense not eligible for bail. This incident occurred shortly after Chad was arrested for stalking actress Drew and showing up at her home in the Hamptons, following a confrontation at a live event.
