One student even jokes, \u201cThis is the first time I&#8217;ve seen her in a gown since the Harry Potter movies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to the magic of computers, she only needs to personally attend the university four or five days a year, with the rest of the coursework completed online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbold.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-4.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"634\" height=\"489\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bbold.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-4.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4496\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bbold.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-4.jpeg 634w, https:\/\/www.bbold.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-4-300x231.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.bbold.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-4-150x116.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.bbold.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-4-600x463.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emma has had a longstanding connection with Oxford University. Having grown up in Oxford, she spent a year at Worcester College at Oxford during her undergraduate studies in English Literature at Brown University in the US in 2011. Moreover, in 2016, her role in Beauty and the Beast led her to become a Visiting Fellow at Oxford Lady Margaret Hall, where she was invited to partake in debates and speak at the college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbold.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-10.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"634\" height=\"457\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bbold.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-10.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bbold.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-10.png 634w, https:\/\/www.bbold.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-10-300x216.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bbold.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-10-150x108.png 150w, https:\/\/www.bbold.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-10-600x432.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Brown University Graduation Ceremony in 2014<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before the shooting of Harry Potter began, the director asked the three young actors (Harry, Ron, Hermione) to write a character biography: Daniel (Harry) wrote about a page, Rupert (Ron) didn\u2019t write at all, while Emma (Hermione) wrote a thick stack! This little anecdote has been shared over the years, and everyone can&#8217;t help but admire the director\u2019s casting insight. Emma, who played the on-screen academic whizz, is equally impressive in real life. In her 2008 A-Levels, she scored A grades in English, Geography, and Art. Despite several interruptions in her studies due to filming, her determination to continue education seems to have never wavered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hermione was depicted as the most diligent and intelligent student in her class, but perhaps, it&#8217;s persistence that&#8217;s the true magic both on screen and off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photo source: Daily Mail, Wallpaper Flare, Stable Diffusion<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hermione is set to hop on the express to Oxford University and return to the campus! 33-year-old Emma Watson has enrolled in a part-time Master&#8217;s program at the university, majoring in creative writing.
