Harry Potter star Emma Watson is heading to New York to further her education - the actress has reportedly enrolled at Columbia University under a false name.

The star recently announced plans to take a break from acting to study English Literature and was reportedly offered places at a string of the world's top institutions including America's Yale and Harvard, as well as Britain's Cambridge University.

And after a slew of media reports claiming she will be taking up a place in her native U.K., a respected British newspaper now reports the star has registered at New York's Columbia.

I probably sound like a paranoid nut, but I'm doing this because I want to be normalEmma Watson

The Independent claims the actress has changed her name to avoid detection, enrolling as Charlotte E. Watson instead of Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson.

In a recent interview, Watson insisted she wanted to keep her student life as "private" as possible, telling Teen Vogue, "I probably sound like a paranoid nut, but I'm doing this because I want to be normal."
