Harry Potter star Emma Watson departs Oxford University for Italy

The 36-year-old actress played Hogwarts witch Hermione Granger in all eight films of the franchise alongside co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint.

Ms Watson has turned her attention to studies after her iconic role in J.K. Rowling’s series, as well as parts in Hollywood films The Perks of Being a Wallflower and Little Women.

She had been studying a master’s degree in creative writing at Oxford University since September 2023.

It was revealed in February 2025 that Ms Watson had switched to a DPhil, which is Oxford’s version of a PhD.

Now, Emma Watson has been photographed away from the university, enjoying a break in Venice.

She has been spotted wearing a floral pyjama set while relaxing on a terrace with breakfast and a glass of orange juice.

The 36‑year‑old is seen in a white two‑piece decorated with a delicate print, which fashion title Vogue reports appears to be by London‑based sustainable label Pink City Prints.

According to Vogue, Ms Watson accessorised the look with a colourful beaded necklace, cherry‑shaped earrings and woven brown sandals, leaning into a current trend for turning pyjamas into daywear.

The brand behind her outfit works with artisans in India to preserve traditional techniques such as block printing and hand embroidery, while aiming to reduce textile waste.

This is a focus that aligns with Ms Watson’s longstanding interest in ethical and environmentally conscious fashion.
