Emma Watson has written a new message on her official website, where the actress reveals she attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art over the summer. The actress, who portrays Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, wrote that she took a course at the prestigious academy in London, England where she “made so many friends and learnt so much.” This school is noted for such distinguished alumni as fellow Potter actors Alan Rickman and Kenneth Branagh to name but a few; you can learn more about the Academy via this link.
Emma Watson also wrote that she recently went on holiday to celebrate completing her A level exams (and Hermione would certainly be proud of Emma’s scores which were all straight A’s-Congratulations Emma!)
Finally, the actress let us know she will be featured in the new issue of Italian Vogue, which is due out later this month. The magazine will feature Emma in a fashion shoot that took place just outside of Paris,France, where she was lucky enough to sport Haute Couture for the event. We will update once that magazine has been published.
Go Emma! I hope that you will go beyond the HP series and not end up on those “where are they now?” shows. It would be nice to see you on stage or on the screen some more. ^^

Good for Emma. Yeah, I agree. I hope she does other things after Harry Potter is over. Second comment. Whoooooo. God, I have no life.
Emma is so intelligent and bright, it seems almost a waste if she just did acting!! Its clear her favourite subjects lean towards art and literature but she got 9 grades As in a variety of art, science and maths subjects with distinctions. She is gifted all right and will excel to the top in what ever career she embarks on.
Emma is such a wonderful role model – well, the HP trio is! It’s refreshing to see and hear how “normal” childhoods they’ve all had – as normal as they can have and as their parents can give them.
I don’t doubt that Emma can achieve whatever she wants, in whatever field she chooses.
And yes, it’s a bone in my backside to have to wait until summer to see HBP.
right on, Emma! Very well done! She is a wonderful role model for young ladies (heck, older ones too). I’m betting that Chanel thingie gets announced this year too, it’s been mentioned a lot recently with numbers attached lol.
Well, if you have one-to-one tutoring, you should pass your exams with flying colours. I wonder if you would all be fawning over her if she wasn’t as beautiful as she is? I doubt it. What a vacuous world we live in.
This girl is beyond lucky and yes, I am jealous and don’t care admitting it, but it her looks that you all love and shows how looks are the most important thing in this shallow world.
To Julie: Emma might have been so lucky to have had one-to-one tuition – but this does not automatically mean that she would succeed in the way she did. She still had to put in the work and had to focus on her studies, despite being busy filming. Yes, she is a very pretty young woman who dresses well (and I don’t think this ability has anything to do with money, money can’t buy you self- confidence and style. ) But – she isn’t the most accomplished actress, her perfprmance always seems quite forced to me, as if she doesn’t really like doing it, or as if she has to constantly cross a certain barrier to perform.
Anyway, Julie, don’t be jealous, why should you ? Emma may have faults you’ll never know of – we’ll never really get to know her anyway. But you do know yourself – and your virtues. Be proud !
I think she’s pretty; more to the point, I admire her determination to get good marks despite acting in one of the world’s biggest franchises. She’s intelligent, articulate, clearly has fun, and pretty much a good role model for kids.
I don’t think she’s good as Hermione, and I’ve never been particularly keen on her portrayal or her acting – which is why some acting classes will help her improve. But I do like her. Sure, she’s fortunate – RADA’s a little more likely to look at you if you’re already somebody, same with Oxbridge, and easier to do well if you’ve got the money to be privately schooled – but most of it she’s got by hard work. Not commenting on her fashion mag work though, because by nature they focus on pretty people, which she’s lucky enough to be. But her looks really aren’t her sole feature.
Go Emma! I hope that you will go beyond the HP series and not end up on those “where are they now?” shows. It would be nice to see you on stage or on the screen some more. ^^
