Emma Watson has dismissed reports she plans to turn her back on acting after her stint as HERMIONE GRANGER in the Harry Potter films end in 2010, insisting she plans to take on film roles during breaks from university.
The young actress has enrolled to attend America's prestigious Columbia University but she is committed to continuing her acting career, despite reports she plans to concentrate on her studies.
She tells WENN, "I'm going to university but it doesn't mean I'm giving up acting. I feel like I do want to continue. I just want a normal experience for a bit.
"I think the media found it confusing that I wanted to go to university and don't really understand why I'm doing it. I'm very excited and looking forward to it. I've managed to juggle and balance study and working well enough up to this point, so I don't see why I can't keep doing that.
"At university I've got five months off and the gaps are enormous, so I will have enough time to make films. I think everything is possible. I'm being a bit selfish really and trying to do everything."
