Emma Watson Starts at Brown, Stalkers on Standby

article-0-064F001B000005DC-359_468x334Emma Watson has arrived in Providence with the paparazzi in tow. A few hours ago, the UK’s Daily Mail newspaper published the first photos of a very un-Hermione-looking girl lounging in the grass at Brown and performing what appears to be a variation on the tolasana yoga pose.

According to a statement from Brown’s director of communications, Watson will receive the same rights and protections as any other student on campus. (Seriously, we want this confirmed in party photos.) Emma is following suit, explaining that she’s just a regular limey:

But I do hope that it will be only a short time before I am known as “Emma Watson, the student from the UK” rather than “Emma Watson who starred in those Harry Potter films”.

Good luck in college, Emma.  And remember: No Glove, No Love.

More photos after the jump.

Can’t tell who’s more excited to be in Emma’s breakout group: the Miss Smiles to her left or the boner convention on the right side of the photo.

This is some sort of balance pose. Brown students love yoga.

This is some sort of strut. Movie stars love to strut.

    Wow, Brown really seems to hold up its rep well as the most glamorous yet laid-back school in America. I’m sure Emma will fit in just fine, and that she won’t be overhyped throughout her four years. Girl’s not gonna be lookin so good during finals period anyhow. Unless she’s doing the naked donut run. God, I hope she’s doing the naked donut run.

    Still, damn paparazzi-ragazzi need to leave her the fuck alone tho.

    I was promised photos of her underwear drawer.

    The first picture is pretty sad. She looks miserable and “boner convention” doesn’t even capture the creepiness.

    And it seems like during finals week she’s still going to stand out in a Brown crowd.

    She should have gone to Dartmouth — probably could use the serenity, judging from the creeps next to her in these photos. Why do famous people who claim the don’t like attention insist on going to urban schools? @hermioneG: Since when is Brown laid-back? Brownies get their panties in a bunch of any small, non-PC occurrence. Protest!

    @KEGGY
    That’s, like, old school, DOOD. Srsly who has the time? Brown kids are way too busy and the campus nowadays is more of a peaceful protest kinda place. If you’re thinking riots and collegial coups d’etat, look to, iunno, Wesleyan/Oberlin or somethin.

    As easily as dartmouth gets up in arms about stuff, walking down Thayer street would cause many Dartmouth students to have conniptions.

    As an aside, those kids look sketchy as hell

  7. @hermioneG Says:

    If you say so.

    Don’t worry dear, after the last Potter film, you’ll be known as “Emma Watson, TV movie actress.”

    Unfunny article from tired website.
    After Jodie Foster’s experience “Stalkers on Standby” is a laugh riot — if you’re a careless moron.
    Incidentally, the event pictured is Brown’s September 4 international students’ orientation, featuring, e.g., Brits like Emma Watson, those Asian kids (the “boner convention” until they hack IvyGate), that evident German girl (“Miss Smiles”), and so forth.
    Apparently there are no “sketchy” kids at Dartmouth because the Great White North wilderness attracts only well-socialized types.

    You know, I have to tell you, I really enjoy this blog and the insight from everyone who participates. I find it to be refreshing and very informative. I wish there were more blogs like it. Anyway, I felt it was about time I posted, I?ve spent most of my time here just lurking and reading, but today for some reason I just felt compelled to say this.
