Emma Watson: Ready for the Collegiate Life
Emma Watson is all grown up and heading to the states for college. And although she is excited, she hopes that she doesn’t get stuck with a Harry Potter fan.
“As long as there are no Harry Potter posters on the wall, I will be fine and happy. Oh Goad, it’s part luck, isn’t it. We’ll see,” she tells.
Meanwhile, Daniel Radcliffe joked with his 19-year-old costar, saying, “I really hope they are a really massive Harry Potter fan. I hope you walk in and the first thing you see is your face on a duvet.”
And although it’s something to look forward to, Watson isn’t afraid to say that she will be homesick. She will be attending an Ivy League college in late August to earn a liberal arts degree possibly in English literature or Art.
"I will miss marmite, baked beans, London taxis and the rain!" Watson explained. "I may have to bring boxes full of marmite and baked beans with me."
Besides not wanting a diehard fan, Watson says she would love a polite and tidy roommate. “Cleanliness is good. Hopefully I’m reasonably okay to live with.”
When it comes to acting, however, the Hermione Granger actress wants to remain a good student but keep to her acting grounds.
"I definitely want to continue. I've managed to juggle and balance studying and working well enough to this point so I can't see why I can't keep doing that," she said. "But I am looking forward to being a normal teenager and want a normal experience for a bit. Just a little bit of normality for a while would be nice."
And like she said, being normal is important, which means living in the dorm. "If I'm going to do this experience, I'm going to do it properly and going to do it like everyone else," she said.
