Actress Emma Watson is taking a break from the Ivy League, said USMagazine.com. The Harry Potter star, 20, said this week that she was taking a leave from Brown University in Rhode Island, where she is a sophomore, so she can focus on publicity for the last Potter film. “I love Brown and I love studying pretty much more than anything,” said Watson. But finishing her degree will “take me a semester or two longer than I thought.”
