Just as Hermione’s enrollment at Hogwart’s was bound to come to an end, Harry Potter star Emma Watson will be transferring from Brown University to another school in the fall.

Watson’s rep Vanessa Davies explained the decision by saying the actress, 21, had decided to pursue courses not currently offered at the Rhode Island school, according to The New York Times.

And as for reports that Watson’s change of heart was a result of being bullied on campus, Davies shuts down that theory, saying the star – who turned 21 April 15 – had in fact developed a network of friends and “absolutely loved her time at Brown.”

No word yet on which school the actress, who is currently taking time off from studying to focus on making movies, will be headed to in the fall.

A very happy birthday goes out to our favorite fashionista, Emma Watson, who turns 21 today!

As you all well know, turning 21 is a pretty big deal in American culture (though to be fair, Emma has been able to do all of this stuff in the UK since she was 18), but we thought it would be a bit more fair to compare Emma coming of age as a muggle to coming of age as a wizard. If you know anything about our “Harry Potter” bias (or at least mine), you can probably guess which direction this one is heading.

After the jump, we weigh the pros of turning 21 in the States against turning 17 in the wizarding community to determine which one is the coolest!

You Can Use Magic Freely versus You Can Drink Legally
In this instance, we’re going to have to go with the magic usage over drinking legally. Obviously for American youths turning 21 is a pretty big deal solely for this reason, but in the wizarding world, young wizards have been able to get tipsy off butterbeer since they first got to go to Hogsmeade in year three! Wizarding world, you win this time.

You Graduate Hogwarts versus You Have To Get A New License
Again, coming of age in the wizarding community has a bit of an edge over turning 21 as a muggle. On your big day (at least in Massachusetts), the state requires that you head over to your local DMV and update your license. If not, it’s technically expired and you can’t get drinks! We’d much rather graduate Hogwarts instead.

The Ministry Of Magic Stops Tracking You versus You Can Go Clubbing (And To Concerts)
Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner: Becoming an adult in the wizard community is way cooler than turning 21! Sorry Emma, turning 21 is great, and not having any restrictions when it comes to going to clubs and concerts must be pretty cool, but not having the government keep tabs on you anymore? There’s nothing more freeing than that!

As you can see we are sporting a wonderful new look. Joyce is an amazing designer so if you are looking for reliable and cheap excellent work then go to her. She is the fastest person I know and if you need your design quickly then she will rush it free of charge! Not to mention she will take her time to design the layout and code it. Her work is amazing which is why on some of my fansites you see that I have a bunch of layouts from her! I hope everyone loves the new look and I decided to go with the new photoshoot Emma did which is something totally different!

I’m sure everyone is familiar with one (if not the biggest) Harry Potter fansites,    Magical – Menagerie.   Megan, who is the webmiss of the site was lucky enough (and I should add well deserved) to attend the New York Premiere of  Harry Potter.   I’ve admired her hard work and dedication to her website and have also been lucky to get to know her recently.  She has  a great video on the main site, and you can view her personal photo’s  by clicking on the above photo, or at this LINK!!!

We’re proud of you Megan, and thanks for sharing your wonderful Harry Potter site with us over the years!!

<3 Cher!!
