#WeAreProudOfEmmaWatson, yes, we are.

The Harry Potter star is now an Ivy League college graduate.

Watch the video here:

On Sunday, 25 May 2014, Emma Watson graduated from Brown University with a bachelor’s degree in English Literature (Heads up, J. K. Rowling!).

The 24-year-old tweeted a picture of herself wearing her graduation cap and gown, and proud fans from around the world united to congratulate her with the hashtag “#WeAreProudOfEmmaWatson”. Twitter was soon flooded with pictures of our “ever so stellar Emma” at her graduation.

In addition to ‘Hogwarts’, Watson now counts another esteemed school as her alma mater.

After graduating from Headington School with straight-A grades (just like her on-screen alter ego, Hermione Granger), Watson took a gap year to film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows before enrolling at the Ivy League university in Providence, Rhode Island in 2009.

The leading lady of the highest grossing film series in the world graduated in five years instead of the usual four because she deferred her course “by a semester or two” to work on her acting projects after 18 months at Brown.

In the 2011-2012 academic year, Watson attended Worcester College, Oxford as a “visitor student”, which was exceptionally ironic because Watson is from Oxfordshire. Imagine attending school in your own hometown as an “international exchange student”. Life does play jokes on us.

Watson joins a list of the film industry’s brainiacs who have graduated from some of the world’s most prestigious universities, and an even smaller list of actors who received their degrees from Ivy League schools.

À la Harvard grad Natalie Portman and Yale grad Jodie Foster, Watson was a successful child/teen actress (and a very wealthy one, at that) before choosing to go to an Ivy League college.

Not to mention, Watson’s lethal combination of beauty and brains is what makes her one of Hollywood’s brightest stars, in every sense of the word.

Watson chose to attend university in the United States instead of in Britain because she preferred the broader liberal arts curriculum.

“I did a course at RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts) last year, and three-quarters of the students were American,” Watson said on Live with Regis and Kelly! in 2009, “And they were kinda talking to me about what they were doing at college, and it just sounded so much fun! They had so much choice. In the UK, we have to study one subject for three years. You guys (Americans) get to do loads of different things.”

The American curriculum was obviously her cup of tea, no British pun intended. She said, “I was 18 or 19, and I was like, ‘I don’t know what I want to study yet’.”

Watson is often considered a role model for choosing to focus on her education and attend university, unlike most successful teen actors.

She was also virtually identical to Hermione Granger when it came to academic grades; Watson received eight A* and two A grades at the GCSE exams. Cue slow whistle.

And now, she is an Ivy League graduate.

There truly will never be a more perfect actress to bring to life the brightest witch in the Wizarding world.
