Actress Emma Watson has officially started her first year at Brown University. The Harry Potter actress will take a break from acting so she can concentrate on school.  Read more on Emma Watson below.

Watson has said she hoped to just blend in and not attract attention, but arriving in a helicopter probably didn’t keep her arrival on the “down low”.

Emma recently said in a recent interview, ‘But I do hope that it will be only a short time before I am known as “Emma Watson, the student from the UK” rather than “Emma Watson who starred in those Harry Potter films”.’

Class begins on Wednesday but students are now involved in orientation activities. Watson was photographed wearing shorts and a t-shirt as she participated in an activity with other freshmen.

Emma Watson will return to the set of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows during her school breaks.

   That rumour that she arrived in helicopter in NOT TRUE.

   It was just a fabricated story made up by a random famewhore in Twitter:

   http://twitter.com/enjoybeing/statuses/3714455185

   The sad thing is that this is being spread by Just Jared, and has now been picked up by other media (newspapers, tabloids, and other celebrity news site)

   This rumour has apparently reached Emma’s ears, and ‘Emma is very upset’.

   Her management has already issued statements to various sites, and according to Watson’s manager, she traveled by car, not helicopters.

   Brown University also confirmed that claim. “We’ve been at this for 240 years and I can’t imagine any student has ever taken a helicopter to school,” said Brown University’s director of communication Mark Nickel.

   One webiste who published the helicopter rumour has already written a retraction & an apology:

   And RadarOnline
   http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2009/09/forget-hogwarts-emma-watson-starts-brown-university
   has already edited their article about Emma, adding in that the helicopter rumour is false, and added the quotes from her management & from Brown’s rep.

   It’s vest if you do the same and issue a retraction and give an apology for further spreading this malicious rumour specially since this poor gurl just wants to be a normal student at Brown.
