College freshman, Emma Watson was harassed by students from Harvard University this weekend.
The Brown University freshman looked “quite shaken” (according to Page Six) on Saturday after she attended a game at Cambridge between Harvard and Brown.
Emma was reportedly flanked by security guards to protect her from gawkers – part of a targeted campaign by the Harvard Voice student magazine to draw as much attention to her as possible.
Before the game, a blog post wrote: “We will be Live-Tweetin’ the game and possibly stalking Emma Watson, so keep your eyes peeled for that, too!”
They continued to tweet things like “Let’s go Hermione! Lolz” and “In enemy territory. Lookin for a certain witch.”
The Harvard Voice also posted a picture of Emma and said that their mission was a success.
The Voice eventually attached an editor’s note to its post of Watson’s photo, saying, “There seems to be much ado about nothing over this photo and liveblog. Understand that these live tweets were made to be intentionally outrageous and overblown.”
Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe have entered the 2010 Guinness Book of Word Records as the highest-grossing lead actors over the past ten years!
The duo have earned the title after their first six Potter films earned more than $5.4 billion at the box office worldwide, according to Britain’s Daily Telegraph.
Emma, who stars as Hermione Granger, has earned over $753.7 million for her work in movies, including her role in the animated movie The Tale of Despereaux!

Harry Potter star Emma Watson is the latest mentionable to hop aboard the Celebrity Fashion Express after teaming up with fashion house People Tree to create a collection of for eco-friendly duds for young adults, The Guardian reported Thursday.
Emma — who solidified her place as a fashion icon with a starring role in last season’s Burberry campaign — has been tapped as the creative adviser of The People Tree collection, putting her own brand of style on each piece.
“I was excited by the idea of using fashion as a tool to alleviate poverty and knew it was something I could help make a difference with,” she said. “I think young people like me are becoming increasingly aware of the humanitarian and environmental issues surrounding fast fashion and want to make good choices but there aren’t many options out there.”

College bound Emma Watson updated her official blog from Brown University to say that she’s all settled in!
“I know, according to the papers I was ‘definitely attending’ both Columbia and Yale, but I’ve finally arrived at Brown University and, while I wish that I could be in three places at once, I wouldn’t believe everything you read!”
I arrived on Tuesday and I’m having the most amazing time. I’m still so excited to be here; I’ve already met so many incredible people. I’m over my jet lag and now I just want classes to start!! Hope you are all well and happy, and if you’ve just started college or university that it is everything you hoped it would be. Love Emma x
She then wrote a P.S. saying that she didn’t arrive by helicopter!
“Oh and contrary to the reports you may have read, I didn’t arrive by helicopter. I’ve only been in one once when I was little and I was terrified. Now back to my studies!”

Harry Potter star Emma Watson is embracing the dark side after accepting a role in shock rocker Marilyn Manson’s creepy movie musical.
The 19-year-old has been offered a part as the princess in a Goth-inspired version of the classic fairytale Cinderella, The Sun has revealed.
The alleged role would be Emma’s first outside of the Harry Potter franchise, which saw the beauty shoot to fame as the studious Hermione Granger in the hit wizard films.
What do you think of her decission?
“The person who is most excited that I was asked to do Burberry campaign is my grandma!” Emma reveals. “She’s been wearing Burberry since forever. It was one of the first things she bought for herself when my grandpa and she got married.”
Looking gorgeous, Emma Watson works the clothes and camera for Burberry’s Fall line. The campaign breaks in the August issues of magazines including Vanity Fair, Vogue, British Vogue and Tatler. It also will appear on the brand’s Web site early next month to coincide with the magazines’ releases. In August, an interactive digital campaign directed by Bailey that includes podcasts and behind-the-scenes footage will appear on the Burberry site.

It seems as though Michael Jackson has taken a liking to Miss Emma Watson somehow. Emma along with Harry Potter co-stars Rupert and Daniel have been given VIP all access passes to Michael Jackson’s sold out 02 arena show later on this year.
PopCrunch has a quote from a tipster confessing:
“Michael is a huge fan of the Harry Potter books and films. He was utterly enchanted by the magic of JK Rowling’s novels.
The tales of Harry and his pals in the books gripped him, he has followed them all religiously. He is a big admirer of the films too, he owns all the movies and he has bought memorabilia for his collection. He has also shown an interest in going to the premiere for the final instalment of the Potter films”
