Emma Watson Had Incredible Homesickness When Started U.S. University

Actress Emma Watson suffered incredible homesickness when she started studying at America's Brown University and couldn't phone home to speak to her parents for three months. The British star admits her father wanted her to study at England's renowned Cambridge University but she had a dream to study overseas. After an extensive search for the right college, she packed her bags and headed for Rhode Island's Ivy League school.

But the distance from her relatives took its tool on her emotions. She tells Parade magazine, "I didn't call home for three months. I'd send text messages, but it was too hard to pick up the phone - I'd just burst into tears. Dad told me, 'Be yourself and you'll be fine'. My mom was more like, 'Make sure you wear a warm coat'. She sent me thermals and English chocolates."

But she admits she could have done with a real "Harry Potter" wand - to help her crack her own locker code. She tells the publication, "I had serious issues with the code on my locker - remembering the numbers and how to turn it one way and then the other... I would be there for 15 minutes on the verge of tears because I couldn't open this bl**dy locker to get my mail."

Fake Nude Photo Emailed Around in Campus, Emma Watson Finds It 'Tiresome'

Harry Potter" beauty Emma Watson is tired of doctored nude photograph being circulated around her American university. According to Daily Mail, a photo of Emma has been emailed among students at the Brown University, showing the British star with a towel around her waist standing by a hot tub.

And now, Emma's spokesman has released a statement over the matter. "There have been a number of nude fakes over the past two months. Emma has seen them and finds them tiresome. People should know better," the spokesman said.

Though it still not clear whether the alleged nude shot is indeed real or not, a friend of Emma said that the Hermione Granger depicter insisted the image is fake and found it troublesome. The pal was said as quoted by the site, "Emma is trying to seek out the source so she can put a stop to it. She says the picture has been faked."

Emma herself recently revealed she will never strip in a movie just to move on from her Hermione role. "I'm not going to get my kit off or snort cocaine in a film, just to leave Hermione behind," she told The Sunday Times magazine. "I'm not going to do something shocking because I'm so paranoid or insecure that I can't play another role convincingly. I don't want everyone to forget me as Hermione. I'm really proud of her."

Emma had finished the last installment of "Harry Potter" productions. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II" will hit U.S. theaters on November 19 this year and July 15, 2011 respectively.

Emma Watson Won't Give Up College Experience for Anything

"Harry Potter" star Emma Watson is thoroughly enjoying her time at America's Brown University - because most fellow students have no idea exactly who she is. The young Brit has blended in to the Ivy League college in Rhode Island and insists right now she'd prefer to be there, studying, than on a movie set.

She tells U.S. magazine Parade, "I get some amazing offers to act, and sometimes it's hard to say, 'No, I'm going to stay here and do my homework.' People are like, 'What do you mean she's not available?' This college experience is really important to me, and I won't give it up for anything."

And she is a big fan of life on campus, "My days as a student are structured so differently from being on a movie set, where I had people constantly telling me what to do. When you're filming, someone needs to know where you are every second of the day."

"Here, no one tells me what time I can have lunch, when I can go to the bathroom. It's incredibly empowering and liberating. My friends think I'm crazy because I get so much joy out of really simple pleasures like staying up late talking or deciding to go for a walk."

"The amazing thing is that everyone here is interested in their own lives, so they aren't nosy about mine. I'm used to people being intrusive and gossipy, but I can be anonymous. My best friend at Brown has never seen a 'Harry Potter' movie or read the books, and one guy I dated didn't know anything about the films, much less that I was one of the stars - which I found hilarious."

Emma Watson Spotted Stepping Out With Mystery Man

Emma Watson may have found herself a new boyfriend following her split from model/singer George Craig in September. The Hermione Granger of "Harry Potter" movie series was spotted with a mystery man on Tuesday night, November 2.

In pictures obtained by Daily Mail, Emma, who looked stunning in her pixie cut, was seen sitting in the back of a taxi with the male companion. The two were seen sharing smile as they headed home after reportedly enjoying time at a London nightclub.

And it turned out it wasn't only Emma who was spotted in a night outing with a new companion. Her ex-boyfriend George was also photographed with a female companion on the same night. However, unlike Emma who looked sober and fresh, George was snapped in bleary, half-closed eyes, seemingly enjoying his night a little too much.

Emma has been in London as she enjoys a break from Rhode Island's prestigious Brown University and "Harry Potter". Though she has finished "Harry Potter" productions, fans are still able to see Emma on big screen. Her upcoming movies include "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I", "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II", "My Week with Marilyn" and "The Perks of Being a Wallflower"

Emma Watson 'Felt Sick' After Learning Her Fortune

Emma Watson "felt sick" and "emotional" when she realized she had amassed a multi-million dollar fortune from the "Harry Potter" movies - and immediately enrolled on an accountancy course. The British actress had no idea what she was being paid to portray Hermione Granger in the wizard movie franchise until she was "17 or 18" when her father sat her down for the "money conversation".

And Watson, who had previously been living off a $75-a-week allowance, admits she enrolled on a course at Coutts bank to learn how to manage her bulging finances. She tells Britain's Vogue magazine, "By the third or fourth film, the money was starting to get... serious. I had no idea. I felt sick, very emotional."

Beside acting, Watson is also modeling. She became the face of Burberry's Spring/Summer 2010 collection earlier this year.
