Emma Watson Finds New Love With Fellow Oxford University Student

Emma Watson, renowned for her role as Hermione Granger in Harry Potter, has struck up a new romance at Oxford University.

The 34-year-old actress is currently pursuing a part-time Masters degree at the university, and she looked all “loved up” with Kieran Brown, who is doing a PhD in 19th century literature and economics.

“Emma is studying creative writing and his thesis is all about literary theory—so they have a lot to talk about,” a source told The Sun.

“She looks so loved up with Kieran,” the source added.

The pair was photographed sharing a kiss while out on a date at Gail’s Bakery in Jericho, Oxford, last week.

The student lovebirds had a “nice vibe” together, a source said.

“They were chatting together in the queue, they seemed to have quite a nice vibe,” an onlooker told the Daily Mail.

“I couldn’t hear what they were saying, apart from when she ordered – she got an espresso, a cake and a juice, or something similar,” they continued. “She didn’t seem to try to be hiding herself, she was just queuing with him normally.”

“Nobody really reacted to her, but I could see people in the shop recognized her,” added the onlooker.

The new romance comes after the Harry Potter star called it quits with her former beau Brandon Green, the son of business tycoon Sir Philip Green

Before her current academic romance, the Perks of Being a Wallflower actress was linked to Brandon Green, the son of business tycoon Sir Philip Green.

They were first linked together in 2021 before deciding to part ways in 2022.

The English actress is currently dividing her time between the U.S. and Oxford, attending only a few classes in person and completing the rest of her course online.

After appearing on-screen for years since the age of 10, she made the conscious decision to step away from acting and pursue her Masters Degree.

The 34-year-old English actress was glad she stepped away from acting, saying she now has “more autonomy” than before

“I’m just so glad that I did [step away from acting] because I have this feeling of having my own voice and creative space and sovereignty in some way that I don’t think I did before – more autonomy,” she told British Vogue. “I’m so glad that I allowed things to be messy for a minute and to really allow myself to not know [what’s next], because the knowing that I’ve come to, I wouldn’t trade that for anything.”

As a visual editor in the News team, I look for the most interesting pictures and comments to make each post interesting and informative through images, so that you aren't reading only blocks of text. I joined Bored Panda not that long ago, but in this short amount of time I have covered a wide range of topics: from true crime to Taylor Swift memes (my search history is very questionable because of that).In my freetime, I enjoy spending time at the gym, gaming, binging Great British Bake Off and adding yet another tattoo artist that I would love to get a tattoo from to my pinterest board.

I never understood people’s obession with the personal life of strangers. Why should anyone be interested in an actress‘ lofe life? I‘d understand if the article talked about a new movie she was making but this is beyond irrelevant. And by the way: taking a picture of someone at a cafe and posting that s**t online is f****d up

Because technically although we have never met, people feel like they grew up with her.

So, BP writer Binitha, how would YOU like it if someone took photos of you without your permission, posted them on social media, and talked about your personal life on the internet with all the details? Just because someone is famous, it doesn't give the rest of us the right to march into their bedroom and start flipping through their diary. A profession, an actor, even a famous actor, should not have to completely surrender their right to privacy in order to have their career. Say what you want about their movies, and post screenshots of the movie all you want, and critique how you want, but getting into their personal life is low and trashy. This is not why I come to BP.
