Also, mockery of the actress was told at Some entertainment sites and in Telegram channels (examples here, here And here).

British actress Emma Watson Beginning Joan K. Rowling Harry Potter and Philosopher's Stone (2001) with the film adaptation of the book and played in this film franchise for a decade - before the film Harry Potter and Gifts of Death: Part II (2011). Her heroine, the sorceress Hermione, Different From other basic characters, a special attitude to study: she received high marks, read a lot and loved to do homework, so she was considered a skill. At the Hogwarts school, where the main action of books and films takes place, glasses were awarded for the successful completion of various kinds of tasks, and according to the results of the year the winning faculty was awarded the prize.

In 2009, during the filming of the dilogy "Gifts of Death", Watson toldthat he is going to study at the University of Brown (his campus Located in the American city of Provice), where in the end and I acted. Her decision to receive education abroad she explained The fact that she liked the course in Brown and the idea of ​​getting to know another country and culture. March 7, 2011 on her official website actress announcedthat takes a break in study:

Hi all!

As you know, I love Brown and love to study more than anything, but recently I have so much business and work that being a student and fulfilling my other obligations has become a little impossible.

I decided to take a short break to completely finish the work on Harry Potter (the last part comes out this summer) and focus on my other professional and acting projects. I will still work on receiving a diploma, but it will take me a semester or two more than I expected.

I hope you are fine!

Thanks for your constant support.
Emma.

In the fall of 2011 It became knownthat the actress will study English philology in a special program In Woster-College, incoming The University of Oxford. In May 2014, Watson still Graduated The University of Brown, having received a bachelor's degree in the field of English literature.

The story of mockery of Watson was born in 2011, when she took an academic vacation at the University of Brown. For example, April 25, 2011 on the Kinopoisk website They wrotethat in the fall, the actress will study at another university. It reported that, according to the “official version”, Emma wanted to study an subject that was not taught at an American university. At the same time, the “insiders” said that the true reason is the mockery of fellow students: “Whenever the actress answered the questions of the teachers, she heard a phrase like“ Three points to the Gryffindor ” - depending on the quality of the answer. Strakers also accompanied caustic comments with all the appearance of Emma at the matches of the local team in American football. ”

Finding any interview where the actress complained about the grass at the university, “verified” did not work out. On the contrary, on the personal website of Watson Writtenthat she loves the university of Brown (this can be judged by the quote above), and in an interview with Porter's magazine, the star Harry Potter I admittedthat the decision to study in the United States helped her to open and accept herself. April 29, 2011 in a post on his official website Watson Disputed Reporting reports:

Hi all!

I think I need to tell you all that the reason I miss the semester at the University of Brown has nothing to do with the persecution, as the media recently expected. I had never been poisoned in my life, and certainly this was not in Brown. There was no incident with "Ten glasses of Gryffindor". I had to say about it, because the accusation of Brown's students in something as serious as the persecution, because of which I left, seems unfair.

Please do not try to guess what I will do in September - no one can know this, because I still do not know! Like my other fellow students, I try to understand what my third year of study will be and whether I will conduct it abroad (this is a common thing).

I hope you all liked it all New trailer "Harry Potter". I'll go to Pittsburgh soon to start working on the film "The perks of Being a Wallflower". Only recently I returned after a meeting with Stephen Choboski (director and screenwriter), Logan [Lerman] and Ezra [Miller] (performers of the other two main roles) and I already know that this will be incredible experience. I was very lucky.

I hope everyone is fine with you.

Take care of yourself
With love, Emma.

In the summer of 2011, in a conversation with the publication Sunday Times Style Magazine Watson again Disputed Rumors about leaving the university due to ridicule addressed:

It became so sad for me when these rumors appeared that I left Brown, because they mocked me. There is no sense in this. In Brown, everything was the other way around. In the campus I have never been asked for autographs. I arranged a party for almost a hundred students, and not a single person posted a photo on Facebook*. In any case, even if it were hard for me, I would not leave the university because someone in the corridor told me "Vingardium Levios" (One of the spells in the world of Harry Potter. - Approx. Ed.) or "Ten points to Gryffindor". I have been dealing with the press from the age of nine. If I can’t cope with several people who bring trouble to me, it’s just a pity. I had situations and more serious.

The earliest news notes on the mockery of the actress appeared On April 21, 2011, on the website of the New York Daily News newspaper, which other English -speaking publications later referred to. The newspaper published the words of several anonymous sources, one of which said that Watson's fellow students accompanied her correct answers by quotes from Harry Potter (the most popular option was the phrase “Three Gryffindor points!”). Also, according to a certain student from Harvard, during a football match between Harvard and Brown teams, other Harvard students also shouted a quote from films with her participation. Another insider said that the new Watson neighbor was forced to sign strict confidentiality agreements before moving to the star. Independent evidence of these reports of anonymous interlocutors of the publication could not be found.

Thus, Watson never spoke about the persecution at the university, and even more so, according to her, she did not interrupt the training because of this. On the contrary, the actress has repeatedly refuted such rumors. Probably, someone invented a story about bullying, which, due to multiple copying and a long time, as a result of the work of a “broken phone” received several versions and various details.

*Russian authorities They think Meta Platforms Inc., which owns the social network Facebook, an extremist organization, its activities in Russia are prohibited.
