“Harry Potter” actress Emma Watson, 19, is on the cover of Teen Vogue‘s August issue. She looks all grown up, posing in old school Britastic clothing in the English countryside. Despite being famous since she was 10, Emma isn’t really a limelight lover. She is going to college and plans to do it up normal-person style. She’s majoring in English and will even be living with roommates. We understood why she is not all about being famous after she said so many ‘razzi showed up to her 18th birthday that she couldn’t get out the door. She added, “They laid down on the pavement and took pictures up my skirt.” Ugh, talk about barely legal. Check out some other quotes, after the jump.

It seems like professional suicide to step away from a successful acting career to attend college, but that's exactly what Emma Watson plans to do following the conclusion of her Harry Potter duties. Watson hasn't revealed which university she plans on attending, but in an interview with Teen Vogue, she said:

There's not, like, a burning passion in me that I have to act and I don't care what I do. Until something comes along that I feel as strongly about as I did Hermione – like, I felt that it was life or death – I don't want to act again.
Watson said that she will study English Literature and that she wants to be just like every other student, even sharing a dorm room:

I probably sound like a paranoid nut, but I'm doing this because I want to be normal. I really want anonymity.
Watson is currently promoting the sixth film in the series, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and is currently filming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which will be split into two films. She reprises the role of Hermione Granger, which she has been playing for nearly half of her life, alongside Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter and Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley.

Emma Watson has cemented her status as a fully-fledged fashionista by appearing on the cover of the August issue of Teen Vogue.

This comes after Watson was revealed as the face of the Burberry campaign for autumn/winter 2009-10, into shoes that have famously been filled by the likes of Agyness Deyn, Lily Donaldson and Kate Moss and after her couture-clad appearance in Vogue Italia.

Within the pages of the teen style bible, Watson plays the ingénue as she cavorts in fields of bluebells, leads two ponies through the grounds of a stately home and poses in all manner of super-luxurious clothes.

Emma Watson who plays Hermione Granger in the “Harry Potter” films is reported to be losing her passion for the industry. She is supposed to start college this fall, and is currently filming “Harry Potter and The Deathly Hollows” which is going to be released as two separate films. She said she is struggling to balance her filming commitments with promotional work on the “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” film,and will probably stop acting if she doesn’t receive any tempting offers.

In an interview with US magazine Teen Vogue, she stated, “Until something comes along that I feel as strongly about as I did Hermione like, I felt that it was life or death. I don’t want to act again.I don’t think I’ve ever been this tired in my life. I literally wear my pajama bottoms to set. I roll out of bed and put on a hoodie and some Ugg boots.”She also denied reports that her relationship with her 25 year old boyfriend Jay Barrymore was in danger of ending. She said, “The only reason it’s on/off is because the papers makes up so much rubbish.”

We previously told you that Emma Watson, who portrays Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, would be filming the kissing scene for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows with Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) at the beginning of June.  Emma has now had an interview with the Telegraph in which she states that the kiss scene is now complete. She also talks about her feelings as the end draws near and which fellow Potter actor influenced her the most.
She’s trying to hold onto what memories she can since the end of filming the Harry Potter films is coming upon her.
“I want to forget about hair and makeup,” she said in an interview with The Times. “Sometimes on a publicity tour I can’t remember what time it is, what country I’m in.

Harry Potter star Emma Watson has dismissed rumours she is set to split from her long-term boyfriend.
The 19-year-old actress has been dating financier Jay Barrymore, 25, for a year, but the couple has been dogged by rumours their romance is in trouble.
Watson insists she is happy and committed to her partner - blaming the tabloid press for speculating about the relationship.
She tells America's Teen Vogue, "The only reason it's 'on/off' is because the papers make up so much rubbish!"

Harry Potter star Emma Watson plans to quit the movie business once she wraps up work on the wizard franchise - because she doesn't have a "burning passion" for acting.

The 19 year old, who will take up a place at England's Cambridge University in the autumn, admits she doesn't have a strong desire to continue working in film once her Harry Potter contract expires.

The star, who plays nerdy Hermione Granger in the magical film franchise, admits she will only be tempted back to the business if she finds a role she is extremely passionate about.
She tells America's Teen Vogue magazine,

"There's not, like, a burning passion in me that I have to act and I don't care what I do. Until something comes along that I feel as strongly about as I did Hermione - like, I felt that it was life or death - I don't want to act again."

Though she was barely 10 when she landed the now-legendary role of Hermione Granger in the ever-popular Harry Potter series, 19-year-old Emma Watson has certainly done some growing up of late, especially in regards to fashion.The proof is in the upcoming spread for Teen Vogue's August issue, where she poses in platform Burberry boots, overflowing tulle dresses, and hot leopard tights. Oh, the interview also mentions that she's been wearing so much Chanel lately that she's become friendly with Karl Lagerfeld. (Oh is that all it takes? Sheesh, we'll get right on it!) "'It's kind of my lucky brand,'" she explains to Teen Vogue, though she also highlights other brands she's been wearing like Miu Miu and under-the-radar U.K. talent William Tempest.
