Emma Watson's Brown University stalker?

Below article from thefreelibrary.com but orginated from dailyrecord.co.uk of which if you google Emma Watson-forced the article comes up but when you click on it the dailyrecord main page is displayed and not article. I even tried to search within their site for the story but ten old articles came up. Maybe I did it wrong. You click the dailyrecord link and see if you make out better. I had to go to the first link after searching through many that had links to the second but with same results.

Byline: Clemmie Moddie March 16th, 2011, Emma Watson was forced to quit her university studies after being plagued by a terrifying stalker, it was revealed yesterday. She announced last week she was putting Brown University on hold to "focus on other projects". But it seems a "major incident" with an obsessed fan was a big factor. The distraught star, 20, had been assigned a fulltime police protection officer. It follows a spate of increasingly threatening letter (Law) letters containing threats, especially those designed to extort money, or to obtain other property, by menaces; blackmailing letters. See also: Threatening  from the man. The FBI have been alerted to the threat, and given details surrounding the full identity of the man. Warner Brothers Film Company are providing her with personal protection during all worldwide junkets. A source said: "Emma loves university life and had no intention of stopping. "But the stalker has made life nigh-on impossible for her. It was on her mind almost constantly and having a full-time plain clothes officer made Emma feel incredibly conspicuous. "Right from the start Emma tried to blend in to campus life. But personal bodyguards, and being told to be on the look-out for trouble at all times, simply put too much of a strain on her. "After speaking to her family, she agreed to have some time off ."

Scary stuff (It's the only bad part of being famous) but then there is this quote. After you read this below quote make sure to keep it in mind when reading what is left.

From wonderwall.msn.com July 2009 (interview with dan, rupert and emma. she started brown in sept 09) In this film, Ron has sort of a stalker girlfriend. Has it ever gotten strange where you're dating people who are more interested in dating Harry, Ron or Hermione rather than yourselves? Emma Watson: "I'm dating my stalker, actually."

Let's rewind back from this quote to 2007. From emmaempire.net  March 17, 2007 (note date compared to above quote) By THOMAS WHITAKER. Showbiz Reporter. POLICE have quizzed a man in his 20s who stalked Harry Potter star Emma Watson. The terrified 16-year-old was confronted by the fan when he gate crashed her school. Police were called after the man got into some of the open lectures she attends. And in the meantime, Emma was given a private BODYGUARD until the stalker was warned off by officers. The actress has continued her studies despite her acting fame. “The man was an admirer who was over-zealous. “He found out there were some open lectures at the school and attended them.“He left Emma alarmed when he approached her and started talking to her about the Potter films. “The school was informed and so were Emma’s parents. The decision was made to call in the police as the man was not known to her.“A minder was also hired to be with her. “The police spoke to the man and he was warned off in no uncertain terms. There have been further incidents since they spoke to him.” A pal of Emma’s said: “Not only was this worrying for Emma but also very frustrating. The Sun knows the name and location of the school, but is keeping the information secret to protect her. A spokesman for the film series refused to comment on Emma’s security scare.

ECHEE SAYS:  Did you notice the quote between the two stories? The first story is recent as of March 2011 and the last one is March 2007. The quote is from 2009. Funny as to how both stalker situations we're reported in the same month and one day apart. In regards to the “I’m dating my stalker” gaffe I really don’t think that was a wise thing to do. This just shows you how naïve and reckless she is. The claim is Emma Watson is smart but the question is how much common sense does she have?

UPDATE JULY 7TH 2011 From thisislondon.co.uk jULY 7TH, 2011, "Rumours of bullying are far wide of the mark, she stresses; US students often spend their third years abroad). She is playing hard to get with casting directors and there will be no acting after she completes the US indie film, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, her first post-Potter role. "I will be focusing solely on my studies. People were very respectful at Brown of my privacy - and I just hope that will be the same at home." She hopes to live in college and may even do student drama, "if it feels right". UPDATE JULY 9TH 2011, "From heraldsun.com.au July 9th, 2011, "Fame was never something I ever aspired to and it's not something I aspire to now really.
