Actress Emma Watson has denied that she took a break from university because she was bullied. The \'Harry Potter\' actress said last month that she was taking time off from Brown University in the US to focus on her film career.But newspaper reports last week said the actress was bullied out of the university.In a message on her website on Friday, Watson said: \"I felt the need to let you all know the reason I took a semester off from Brown had nothing to do with bullying as the media have been suggesting recently.\"\"I have never been bullied in my life and certainly never at Brown.\" One report said that when the 21-year-old responded correctly to questions, her classmates would shout \"Ten points to Gryffindor!\" - a reference to a house at Hogwarts, the fictional school in the Harry Potter franchise.Watson, who plays bookworm Hermione in the series, denied that the incident took place.\"I feel the need to say this because accusing Brown students of something as serious as bullying and this causing me to leave seems beyond unfair,\" Watson wrote on her website.The actress said she had not made up her mind about her plans for later this year. \"Please don\'t try and speculate about what I might do in September -- no one can possibly know because I don\'t even know yet! Like my other fellow Brown students I am trying to figure out my third year and whether or not I will spend it abroad (this is common).\" Staff and students at the university have backed up Watson\'s claims. Last week, Watson\'s spokeswoman Vanessa Davies said the actress would transfer to another university in autumn to study a different course which Brown did not offer.Watson joined the university in Providence, Rhode Island, in September 2009, initially to study literature. She recently finished filming \'Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2\', the final instalment in the JK Rowling stories, due for a world premiere in London in July.
