Talent Management has just heard that Emma Watson has decided to take some time off from her university studies to focus on her career in acting and fashion.

The 20-year-old star made the announcement through a personal message left for her fans on her website emmawatson.com: “As you know, I love Brown and I love studying pretty much more than anything but recently I’ve had so much to juggle that being a student AND fulfilling my other commitments has become a little impossible.

“I’ve decided to take a bit of time off to completely finish my work on Harry Potter (the last one comes out this summer) and to focus on my other professional and acting projects. I will still be working towards my degree… it’s just going to take me a semester or two longer than I thought : )

“Hope you are all well! Thank you for all your continuing support.”

We’re not surprised Watson has had to take a break – at the moment her diary is hectic with a number of fashion projects and the Harry Potter promotion trail on the horizon.
