Emma Watson graduated from Brown University today.
The Harry Potter actress, who enrolled in the prestigious Ivy League school in 2009, donned a black gown and cap to receive her English literature degree at a commencement ceremony on the main campus in Providence, Rhode Island.
The 24-year-old actress added some extra glamor to the traditional graduation attire by applying bright red lipstick before sharing a picture of herself looking happy and relaxed on Twitter. Emma previously praised her classmates for giving her an opportunity to experience life away from the spotlight.
"I've never even been asked for an autograph on campus. I threw a party for nearly 100 students and not a single person put a photo on Facebook," she previously said.

Emma Watson to Focus on University

Emma Watson has turned down films to focus on her university exams.
The 23-year-old actress is studying English at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, where she will be sitting her finals and needs to concentrate on her academic success. "Emma is in demand with Hollywood directors but has so much to focus on with her studies, that she has had to pass on a few things - she simply can't do everything. It's tough but she believes it was the right thing," a source said.
Emma was catapulted to the spotlight as school girl Hermione Granger in the film adaptations of Harry Potter where she starred alongside Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley). She and the other teenage stars were tutored on set for up to five hours a day, and despite having to balance her filming schedule with academics the blonde beauty managed to achieve eight A+ and two A grades during her GCSE school examinations - which are taken by students aged 14-16 in secondary education across the United Kingdom.

Emma Watson Returning to Brown
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Child Stars,
Emma Watson is set to return to Brown University early next year.
The Perks Of Being A Wallflower actress - who began her studies at the Rhode Island, Massachusetts, campus in 2009 and studied there for two years before completing her third year at Oxford University in South England - is set to return to the prestigious university in January after taking an unofficial gap-year to concentrate on her career.
"Emma is planning on returning to studies in January," a spokesperson for the starlet said.
The 22-year-old actress is said to be hoping to finally secure her degree in English there after previously admitting she found her first two years there extremely difficult: "My first two years at Brown weren't easy, not because I was bullied or because anyone gave me a particularly hard time, but just because, you know, without the collegiate system... and at Brown everyone does completely different things and very much chooses their own path, which is great, but it's also much more difficult, too. You're not with a group of people all the time at one time."
