Emma Watson Graduates, Joins Long List Of Ivy League Celebs

What's More Impressive: Graduating From Hogwarts Or Brown?

Emma Watson, best known for her role in the Harry Potter movie franchises (among others), graduated from Brown University this weekend, and her excitement was palpable. Or, at the very least, tweetable.

In Twitter post on Sunday, Watson showed off her graduation cap and gown before the ceremony:

The actress graduated from the Ivy League school with a bachelor's degree in English literature.

Starting in 2009, Watson took a break from the "Harry Potter" franchise, reported People. After a hiatus in 2011, she went back, and told Rookie Magazine she loved the freedom of going back to school, and had completed an independent study on the psychology and philosophy of how and why people fall in love.

There's no word on what Watson will be doing with her degree, though her next film, "Regression," is currently in the works.
