Emma Watson leaving Brown University but denies it’s because of ‘bullying’

(HMG Celebrity News) -  In another example of life imitating art, Harry Potter star Emma Watson will be transferring from Brown University to another school in the fall, just as Hermione’s enrollment at Hogwart’s will also be coming to an end.

Vanessa Davies a spokeswoman for Watson says she will be transferring from the Ivy League school to another university in the fall according to The New York Times.

Responding to published stories that cited classmates and “insiders,” Davies denied reports that the 21-year-old actress was “bullied out” of the Rhode Island university, saying there was no truth to those rumors.

In March, Watson wrote on her official website that she would be temporarily leaving her studies to promote the final installment of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.”

Then rumors followed that Watson, 21, who was studying European women’s history and drama, is said to have been the subject of frequent heckling whenever she answered questions in lectures.

Davies said Saturday that the star “has absolutely loved her time at Brown” and made many good friends there, but had decided to pursue a different course not offered at Brown.
