Absolutely not, thanks to her peers notes the actress known for her role in Harry Potter. Like most college-aged students, Facebook picture tagging can be costly in terms of employment and reputation when combined with a college atmosphere. It can even become more dangerous for high-profile students such as Watson who attends Brown University. However, in an interview with Marie Claire, Watson said ”Brown has a real sense of community, and people are very protective of me. They really look out for me; they want me to feel like I’m part of it. I threw my 20th birthday party at Brown, and I didn’t even have to say to anyone not to put pictures on Facebook. Not a single picture went up. That was when I knew I’d found a solid group of friends, and I felt like I belonged.”

Watson also discusses growing up in the industry as well as her pixie cut which she says “I’ve wanted to do it since I was about 16, and when Harry Potter ended in June, I just needed a change. It was quite symbolic for me. It’s very short; it was buzzed at the back and on the sides. And it’s really liberating that I can walk out without thinking about it.” Check out the ‘Enchanting Emma Watson‘ article for more photos of the British beauty who looks like a modern day Mia Farrow and the full interview for Marie Claire.
