Emma Watson Denies Bullying Rumours But Won't Return Brown University

Harry Potter Star Emma Watson

Emma Watson won't be returning to Brown University, her rep confirmed. The "Harry Potter" star, who announced earlier this year that she temporarily left the Ivy League school to concentrate on her professional commitments, will be transferring to another school, but not because of the bullying rumors.

Last week, it was reported that the brainy Brit beauty was being taunted at the university. Apparently, her colleagues couldn't help but make references to "Harry Potter" whenever she got correct answers in class.

But her rep, Vanessa Davies, told the Daily Mail that the report was false, adding that Watson, 21, made some very good friends during her stay in the university. However, Davies also confirmed another rumor that she is leaving Brown.

The rep explained that Watson simply decided to pursue a course that is not offered at Brown. She was taking European women's history and drama. It isn't revealed what course she intends to take next and where she plans to enroll at.

Watson is currently working on a number of fashion projects. She will also be promoting the part two of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" this July.

Bad Day for Harry Potter Cast Mates Rupert Grint and Emma Watson – Is That a Bong?

It’s been an exciting week for Harry Potter cast mates Rupert Grint and Emma Watson.

But with some amazing wizardry by the expert public relations of the dark arts staff – even the ugliest of things can again be made beautiful.

Yesterday, an internet photo appeared that supposedly shows Harry Potter’s Ron Weasley hitting a bong.

We suspected it was a fake – but a good fake.


It is indeed a fake. Grint’s publicist responded by saying,

"This is categorically NOT Rupert Grint - It is an impersonator, a lookalike."

Grint’s people are also upset with Perez Hilton for first showing the picture and suggesting it was Rupert.

And fellow Potter cast mate Emma Watson also had her share of bad press when reports surfaced that she had been taunted and bullied into leaving Brown University.

Rumors swirled of fellow students saying things like “Three points for Gryffindor” when she answered a question, or crying out “Oh Harry!” when she walked into a room.

Reports were that Watson had started to fear for her personal safety and decided to change colleges.

Not True. Apparently the change of venue had been planned for quite some time and her rep says,

"Emma has enjoyed her time at Brown tremendously and made many friends there who she keeps in constant contact with. She has now decided to change universities, but not for the bullying, as that is just completely untrue.

She has just decided to continue with a different course. But, for reasons of security I am not prepared to divulge which university she will be attending."

Okay, so everything is settled and peace has once again been restored to the Muggle world. We can move on.

But did you hear about Daniel Radcliffe getting naked with a horse in some Broadway show?
