Emma Watson is showing it’s never too late to start learning something new, as the 33-year-old has gone back to university!
The Harry Potter actress already has a bachelor’s degree under her belt, having graduated in 2014.
But, in true Hermione Granger style, she has now enrolled in a part-time Master’s degree at Oxford.
A source said: ‘The course is for older adults and can be done on a part-time basis, which is perfect for Emma’s schedule.
‘She only has to be on-site for four or five days a year because she can do the rest of the course online from home.’
And, Emma – who has taken a step back from acting in recent years – is expected to have a security team with her when she does attend the university, because she has suffered some safety scares recently.
The insider added to The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: ‘Because she’s a famous actress, she’ll have a security team looking after her whenever she has classes to go to.
‘There have been a few incidents recently and she is taking every precaution necessary to ensure her safety.’
A man was arrested during a Ralph Lauren fashion show in New York this month on suspicion of attempting to gain access to her dressing room and Emma has been feeling concerned.
The source added: ‘She flew to Milan with a specialist team from the UK, and Prada provided another security detail to guard her room overnight.
‘There were lots of famous models and celebrities staying at the Palazzo Parigi where Emma stayed.’
Emma was said to have been ‘worried’ that the people who had been messaging her could have disguised themselves outside among fans.
The man has denied criminal trespass and disorderly conduct and will return to court next month.
Emma graduated from Brown University, located in Rhode Island, USA, after studying English literature nine years ago.
Proving herself to be the very definition of a girl boss, Emma was studying there just weeks before part 2 of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows hit cinemas, which brought her time as Hermione to an end after 10 years in the role.
And when she returns to her studies at Oxford, she’ll be in familiar territory.
She’s actually already been in the uni grounds, as many scenes from the Harry Potter movies were filmed in and around them.
For example, the Christ Church College, Cloisters became instantly recognisable when they were used for corridor scenes in the wizarding franchise.
