Emma Watson's educational career at Brown University has been nearly as well documented as her acting career, but now she is going to graduate later this month.
According to the Associated Press, Watson, 24, will receive a degree in English literature. The British actress began studying at Brown in 2009, though she left in 2011 and returned two years later, but she also spent time at Oxford University during that period as well.
A spokesman for Brown told the AP Watson will be attending the commencement ceremony May 25.
Watson's first major acting job is the one she is most known for, portraying Hermione Granger in the film adaptations of J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" series of novels. She filmed the first one when she was 11-years-old and finished the last as she first enrolled at Brown.
Keeping up her acting career while attending Brown, and Oxford for a period, took its toll and Watson admitted she thought about quitting acting.
"I wanted to make a conscious adult decision that this was what I wanted to pursue, because that decision was made for me as a nine-year-old," Watson told Entertainment Weekly last Aug. "I had no idea what I wanted. I had no idea who I was really. So I wanted to step away and make sure this is what I wanted to pour my life and my energy and my blood, sweat, and tears into."
In the interview, after she had already re-enrolled at Brown, she also said her professors encouraged her to follow her gut in taking a break from acting.
"It gave me a sense of paralysis and stage fright for a while. And then a professor told me that they didn't think I should act, either," Watson said. "So I was really grappling with it and wasn't feeling good about it."
Watson has transitioned away from Hermione well, as she has had roles in several differing films such as "This is the End," "Perks of Being a Wallflower" and "Noah."
However, she will always have one thing in common with Hermione, they are both studious. After taking a year off from Hogwarts to defeat Voldemort, Hermione finished her education, unlike Harry and Ron.
