Emma Watson Finds New Love With Fellow Oxford University Student

Emma Watson, renowned for her role as Hermione Granger in Harry Potter, has struck up a new romance at Oxford University.

The 34-year-old actress is currently pursuing a part-time master's degree at the university, and she looked all “loved up” with Kieran Brown, who is doing a PhD in 19th-century literature and economics.

“Emma is studying creative writing and his thesis is all about literary theory—so they have a lot to talk about,” a source told The Sun.

“I couldn’t hear what they were saying, apart from when she ordered – she got an espresso, a cake, and a juice, or something similar,” they continued. “She didn’t seem to try to hide herself, she was just queuing with him normally.”

“Nobody reacted to her, but I could see people in the shop recognized her,” added the onlooker.

“I’m just so glad that I did [step away from acting] because I have this feeling of having my voice and creative space and sovereignty in some way that I don’t think I did before – more autonomy,” she told British Vogue. “I’m so glad that I allowed things to be messy for a minute and to allow myself to not know [what’s next], because the knowing that I’ve come to, I wouldn’t trade that for anything.”
