If I do go there I will do a liberal arts degree, but if I stay in the UK I’ll do English Literature.”Emma Watson scored straight A’s in her Geography, Art and English Literature A-levels last month, and recently completed a summer course at RADA.The actress has reportedly amassed a £10 million fortune from her role as Hermione Watson in the Harry Potter films.The young actress is determined to live as normal a life as possible as she will juggle her career with her university studies.In a recent interview, she revealed: “I wouldn’t want my childhood in show business to have been any different. Some days I wish my life were simpler but the rest of the time I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.”Perhaps Harry Potter fans will have to wait until next summer for Emma Watson’s next big screen outing.
