Brown falls under Hermione's spell

Brown: Ivy League campus for stars?

If only Harry would let her borrow the invisibility cloak...

Emma Watson was mobbed by adoring fans as she began university in the U.S. --despite pleading to be treated just like any other student. The 19-year-old actress, who plays Hermione in the Harry Potter films, barely had a moment to herself as she got to know fellow 'freshmen' at the prestigious Brown University in Rhode Island.

One of the gang: Watson gets to know her fellow freshman at the Rhode Island campus

New friends: Watson mingles with students on campus

Miss Watson, who looked anything but the global movie star in simple denim shorts and a white T-shirt, is likely to have to get used to having her own fan club on campus. She said recently: '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".'

Miss Watson achieved straight A's in her A-levels. She will have to return to the studio during her holidays to film the last two installments in the Harry Potter series.

Bewitching: Watson has grown up in the international spotlight since appearing in the first Harry Potter movie
