Emma Watson Officially Leaves Brown University

Having previously revealed her decision to "take a break" from studies at Brown University, Emma Watson has now confirmed that she has opted to withdraw from the Ivy League institution completely.

While rumors that she was a victim of bullying have been adamantly denied, a spokeswoman has told that the "Harry Potter" actress made the move to "pursue a different course not offered by the school."

Emma first began her collegiate career back in fall 2009, but will now take her educational efforts elsewhere - with no new school being named thus far.

The news of her Brown departure comes shortly after Miss Watson celebrated her 21st birthday on April 15th, as she told fans in a video posting: “Just a quick message to say thank you for all the Birthday wishes and gifts you’ve sent. I’m continually overwhelmed by the support from you all. It means so much to me, so thank you very much."

She added, "Turning 21 is a significant occasion for everyone, and it’s proved to be quite a milestone.”
