UPDATE: An announcement has been posted on Watson's official website, denying the star's use of Twitter. While the notice does not disprove the star receiving an acceptance from Yale, it claims that she has not, in turn, accepted the spot.
"There have been several rumours spreading recently that Emma has accepted a place at Yale university after 'telling her fans via her Twitter account,'" the notice, signed by "Jo," states. "We would like to inform you that Emma does not have a Twitter account and that these rumours are false. Emma is still trying to decide whether she wants to attend university in the U.K. or the U.S.A. and hasn't accepted any placements at this time."

Forget Hogwarts. The real Hermione could be headed to Yale.
Apparently actress Emma Watson is as much a smarty-pants as her Harry Potter alter ego, revealing via Twitter that she has been accepted into the Ivy League.
"Did I tell you I got accepted to Yale," she writes under the handle "mwtsnx."
There have also been online reports that the magical ingenue received an acceptance letter from Cambridge University. This fall, she reportedly toured Brown and Harvard universities, as well as Yale. There has been no word from her rep on which institution of higher learning Watson will attend.
Should the wand-erful Watson choose to become a Bulldog, she'll join quite an impressive list of alumni thesps. Meryl Streep, Jodie Foster, Sigourney Weaver, Frances McDormand, Edward Norton, Christopher Lloyd, Henry Winkler and Claire Danes all called New Haven, Conn., home at one time.
