ACTRESS Emma Watson is enrolling at Oxford University.
The star, who played brainbox Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, is expected to study English.
Sources say the 21-year-old is joining Worcester College this autumn.
Emma quit her course at prestigious US uni Brown in April and issued a statement saying she would take a position somewhere else starting in October.
The actress, who has lived in Oxfordshire since she was five, this week hit back at rumours she quit her course at the Ivy League college in Rhode Island because she was being picked on.
It was claimed she was taunted with shouts of “three points for Gryffindor” if she answered a question.
She said: “It made me so sad when this stuff came out that I left Brown because I was bullied. It made no sense at all.
“Even if I was being given a hard time, I wasn’t going to wuss out of university because someone said ‘wingardium leviosa’ to me in a corridor.”
In her announcement in April Emma said she had “decided to pursue a different course which sadly Brown does not offer”.
She said she would study at a university “affiliated to Brown” and that she may return to Rhode Island in her final year.
Brown has a transfer programme that allows students to attend other universities, including a year at Oxford.
A spokeswoman for Emma said: “No decisions have been made yet.”
Worcester College includes picturesque 15th century buildings and a lake.
