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 ingénue also 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.
