Emma Watson coxing her Oxford college rowing eight [May 31, 2025]
[Gallery] [Fashion] [Version française]
If you were in the fandom back in the Brown era, Emma was already asked then to cox for the Brown team but as you can guess, she passed.
Here, her team lost and the winning team played the Harry Potter theme song to celebrate.

As far as I can remember she wanted to be a member of the rowing team. But the college team couldn’t muster the courage of putting her in such a can be dangerous position. I think there was also this situation about insurance or something.
This was a wonderful one eden,A lovely day for the summer 8's! I was there to watch my friends from Wolfson and Christ Church get "blades". Wolfson did get one but Christ Church got "bumped" by the ones from Baliol unfortunately. Top tier performance from both the teams though and a fantastic end to the week.
That’s only rumoured I’d be surprised if the briefing wasn’t recorded or something. They had to say something as they are clearly wrong that she hasn’t left left Oxford!! Also with Brown, Emma wanted to do it but couldn’t because of the insurance the club would have to get given she was still in Potter
Eden did you see theres another updates you can post were Emma dad is warning about how fame is dangerous for children talking on new Hermione? The source are daily fail so maybe its false reports like how she left oxford xD
it wasn't that she left its was something like she stopped her creative writing course for something else swapping form masters to some other form? which we havent seen proved either way yet
From the Daily Fail Emma "failed to finish her creative writing master's degree at Oxford. Instead she has reportedly decided to embark on a DPhil course"
They claimed she dropped out of her masters at Oxford entirely, then a couple of weeks later they claimed she'd somehow managed to upgrade to a PhD instead, which isn't a thing. She just did a research placement for her masters. Which they would have known if they'd bothered doing a little research of their own on Oxford's website.
Well I hate to say it, but fail have not been disproved here yet she wasn't said to have abandoned Oxford, only that she failed her her course which we don't know yet...
It’s great for her that she is getting some of these experiences and also that she seemingly can just walk around. She responded to the HP theme tune in very good spirit!
A couple of weeks ago I said she went to another college, yes, new college, I didn't say which one at the time. Now that the daily fail has reported it, they should have verified that she is currently studying for a DPhil at new college.
Kind of hypocritical. Her dad had all the time in the world to pull her out of HP if fame was being a bother. He didn’t. Moreover when there were actual news of her quitting the HP, her dad went back to negotiate a higher price. Quite rich of him giving someone advice about fame and what not. True that fame can be bothersome. But walk the talk.
A DPhil in English would be full time though and takes yonks? I’m not sure that makes sense. Unless she loved studying again and was doing really well at it
Switching college doesn’t necessarily mean you switched course. You can apply to a different college (even if it doesn’t do your course) through an exception process. I wonder if maybe New College has better security or she was getting harassed at the previous place by that stalker
She definitely won’t have failed her masters and got into a DPhil. The only way you’d switch like that is if they thought you were exceptional during your masters and supported fast tracking you. Which Oxford won’t do simply because she’s famous
I think she’s just doing the Masters at New College. Just because it isn’t listed in the colleges for the creative writing masters doesn’t actually mean she can’t do it there, she’d just need to provide a decent reason to Oxford.
Is it possible to fail your master’s degree and still move on to a PhD at Oxford? I mean, I know people who graduated with a first-class degree and were top of their class, and they still weren’t accepted into a master’s or PhD program.
Number 1 rule on this blog. If someone claims to know something about Emma but provides no proof, they're making it up. There was a lot of that when she was dating Brandon Green.
Her family would be experts on what negative impact it has, don't see the issue also if Emma is locked into a contract at age 10 for a lot of films its probably hard to get out of even if she was trying to at some stage maybe Warner Bros was like 'we will cripple you in court if you do this!' we don't know.
Her dad is right to warn them. I’ve always believed it’s their responsibility to speak up, even if the new parents won’t listen. J.K. and the production care more about money than the kids. As a ‘feminist,’ did J.K. ever support Emma during the difficult years of her teens — through all the media pressure and the disgusting way she was treated? This is a 10-year commitment, not just one film. Even Alan Rickman said they originally thought it would only be three movies, and it wasn’t even certain the same kids would be kept for the sequels. The contract is likely restrictive and could affect them for life.
Multiple colleges accept creative writing masters students. It's not like an undergraduate degree, you're not sitting in a classroom every week. The course has workshops and lectures, they're not tied to one college. https://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/graduate/courses/mst-creative-writing
The Daily Fail isn't reliable, they're a mix of true and false. I heard from a student at Oxford that she was working on her second masters degree, which is more believable, a masters degree only takes a year, while a DPhi takes more time.
No it absolutely won’t be possible to fail and still move up at a place like Oxford. If she’s been progressed to PHD it’s because they view her as a terrific candidate (which she wouldn’t be if she failed!!)
In the article about the boat race it says: "Ms Watson has been at Oxford since 2023, when she decided to take a hiatus from acting to take a master’s degree in creative writing at Lady Margaret Hall. She has since reportedly progressed to a DPhil – Oxford’s version of a PhD – at New College." - Does that mean she's 100% doing a DPhil in Oxford?
There are various media accounts of it and what not. From the media house you people start that says that she was wanting to quit HP but then her dad went back to negotiate a price.
Hardly the case for child actors if there are mental issues involved. Considering her parents are lawyers and EU and US have somewhat of a law regarding it.
I know I always bring this up but this is the same Daily Mail that had a "source" saying she was settling down with Leo when we knew they'd already broken up. That was after she'd called them out for lying about her getting engaged. They don't like admitting they're wrong so they just add new lies to cover up the old ones.
I can never understand the obsession on here with the Daily Mail and JKR. All people seem to do is complain about their obsession with Emma and yet do the same thing.
In truth what the DM or JKR say about Emma is irrelevant and why people care is beyond me.
Honest to god question… Why the hell do you guys still believe the stuff Daily Fail puts out about most celebrities?!?! Not only are they infamous for constantly contradicting themselves(sometimes in the same article), but it’s BEEN known that they don’t have any “sources” for most of their articles about celebrities in general. They’ve literally been called out on it by different celebrities more times than I care to remember… even Emma has called them out on it. Also no, you can’t do a DPhil without completing your Masters at Oxford (that goes for most universities), Daily Fail just didn’t do their research in the first place and pulled that out of their ass. I mean they even got the name of the degree wrong… And Emma wanting to leave HP isn’t new information. David Heyman had clocked it since Prison of Azkaban. Then it became more apparent during Order of the Phoenix (which is where she advocated to go to Brown among other stuff). The TRIOS management/representative lawyers DID go renegotiate their contracts as far as money went… IN BETWEEN Philosophers/Sorcerers Stone because they were getting low balled by WB. These kids faces AND names were everywhere on almost every type of merch whether it was authorized or not and they got nothing from WB using their likeness. Which in many countries is grounds to sue, especially because they were minors. We’re the management teams and lawyers pushed to do so by the trio’s parents… maybe. But it’s also their job to protect their clients from unauthorized use of their likeness as well as getting lowballed.
Of course Emma wanted to leave, but she thought that if she did, people would quickly forget her and she could move on with her life which wasn’t the case. Leaving would have made things worse for her, with people calling her ungrateful and accusing her of ruining Harry Potter. And let’s not forget, we don’t even know if she would have faced legal consequences that could have followed her for the rest of her life. The real problem starts from day one — once you sign, there’s no way back. Of course, Rupert and Dan also wanted to leave at times. Rupert even said he was scared of being kidnapped, and Dan went through a difficult period too. But I don’t think they faced the same issues as Emma, who had to deal with being sexualised constantly — something no child should go through. It’s clear that leaving wasn’t really an option for any of them.
Yes, Dan loved the environment, working as an actor, and being with his friends. Emma also loved them and valued her friendships deeply and Harry Potter. The problem was the outside world — it was terrifying for kids to experience such intense global recognition at such a young age, along with all the negative consequences that came with it.
With the way the Daily Fail manages to make almost every headline about Emma somehow also about Terfling (in my defense it’s pride month) they should also do the inverse. Daily Fail: Rowling is BREAKING her silence on literally anything to do with the trans community, ALSO Emma Watson ate a sandwich and she DIDN’T offer half to her poor dog Sofia.
Tabloids are notorious for having "sources" or "people close to them". There's a story been going round for the last few days of a "source" saying Tom Holland and Zendaya have delayed their wedding. Her stylist and friend Law Roach said it at a red carpet event like a month ago. They haven't delayed it, they never intended to get married this year because they've got filming projects booked for the entire year. None of these tabloids have sources, few of them even make enough money to employ journalists anymore. They just have copywriters, people who write stories but don't actually research them.
Ignore them, don't give them clicks. The DM is laughing at your outrage. All it does is drive traffic to their website, which equals revenue. And just a clue; they won't top posting because people on this blog are upset.
Irrelevant question, but Eden, do you think that Emma looked quite sad with Leo? People say that all of the photos looked staged..maybe he was a cover boyfriend for an another, real boyfriend.
He works at a different college in Oxford than the one she attends, as the course he teaches is for undergrads. And she isn’t exactly required to be on campus as often as undergrads are. Besides that, the only sighting of them together is assumed to be the picture from last May. And for all we know, it could just one of her friends. The the height difference and silhouette do somewhat match up… doesn’t necessarily mean it’s him though.
You missed it Emerson,Emmett and Charles (he goes by Charlie) look just like her. Their dads genes were truly just a formality, as they didn’t put up a fight. Oh and I almost forgot…princess Sofia.

Oxford’s colleges are small, multidisciplinary communities. Each one has students, academic staff, and administrative staff. Most colleges offer meals, libraries, accommodation, sports, events, and other opportunities to enrich your Oxford experience.
That's the most basic definition I could find on Oxford's website. There's a total of 43 of them. Kieran teaches a course to undergrads at one of those colleges (I won't say which one for the sake of his privacy). Meanwhile, Emma is doing her master's at a different one. Which is why it doesn't matter if they're dating or not, as she's not an undergraduate and he's never held a senior position to her.
Eden has a post about it. Emma is wearing a red sweater, and a guy who might have been Kieran or could have been somebody else was holding onto her backpack.
And for all we know, it could just one of her friends. The the height difference and silhouette do somewhat match up… doesn’t necessarily mean it’s him though

We will always remember you: May 2025. The month with the most Emma’s content in ages.
This was a wonderful one eden,A lovely day for the summer 8's!
I was there to watch my friends from Wolfson and Christ Church get "blades".
Wolfson did get one but Christ Church got "bumped" by the ones from Baliol unfortunately. Top tier performance from both the teams though and a fantastic end to the week.
Truly mate!
The best month in ages
Did you see her
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14768481/amp/Emma-Watson-coxing-Oxford-college-team-trounced.html
The source.
Saw the article Eden. It’s stating that she missed out on cox briefing before the tournament, because of Cannes.. yikes!!
That’s only rumoured I’d be surprised if the briefing wasn’t recorded or something. They had to say something as they are clearly wrong that she hasn’t left left Oxford!!
Also with Brown, Emma wanted to do it but couldn’t because of the insurance the club would have to get given she was still in Potter
Why would they hold a briefing a week before the race? Yet another Daily Fail "source".
Cute xoxo (12)
Omg daily fail had to force jkr name I to the headline too and really just made a story to mock losing they are actually pathetic!
Eden did you see theres another updates you can post were Emma dad is warning about how fame is dangerous for children talking on new Hermione? The source are daily fail so maybe its false reports like how she left oxford xD
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14768653/amp/Emma-Watsons-parents-Harry-Ron-Hermione-fame-children-HBO-TV-series.html
I saw it. I don't know if it's worth a new post though.
It had been many years since I had seen her this blonde.
When are fail going to post that they LIED that she left oxford????
it wasn't that she left its was something like she stopped her creative writing course for something else swapping form masters to some other form? which we havent seen proved either way yet
Hmmm...Eden do you know what the actual claim from fail was cuz now im confused??
From the Daily Fail Emma "failed to finish her creative writing master's degree at Oxford. Instead she has reportedly decided to embark on a DPhil course"
They claimed she dropped out of her masters at Oxford entirely, then a couple of weeks later they claimed she'd somehow managed to upgrade to a PhD instead, which isn't a thing. She just did a research placement for her masters. Which they would have known if they'd bothered doing a little research of their own on Oxford's website.
Well I hate to say it, but fail have not been disproved here yet
she wasn't said to have abandoned Oxford, only that she failed her her course which we don't know yet...
stop reading DM nonsense its making ppl lose brain cells
Wow really going to put a negative slant on everything Emma does form now on aren't they?
"Emma watson seen eating sandwich and FAILS to notice bread crumbs on her shirt as Rowling celebrates huge rowing race loss for former star!"
They likely have a special unit dedicated to 'owning emma watson'
so obsessed OMG!
Eventually headlines will be EMMA WATSON CAUGHT WALKING OUTSIDE!!
Eden would have won this easily i think xd
Failed her course and yet has moved to a PHD. They are full of nonsense
Eden the interview that Emma’s dad did for times radio is actually really nice. I’d post a clip of it
She’d have been training with the team for quite some time to do that, so that’s pretty cool of her
It’s great for her that she is getting some of these experiences and also that she seemingly can just walk around. She responded to the HP theme tune in very good spirit!
A couple of weeks ago I said she went to another college, yes, new college, I didn't say which one at the time. Now that the daily fail has reported it, they should have verified that she is currently studying for a DPhil at new college.
Where is the interview
Kind of hypocritical. Her dad had all the time in the world to pull her out of HP if fame was being a bother. He didn’t. Moreover when there were actual news of her quitting the HP, her dad went back to negotiate a higher price. Quite rich of him giving someone advice about fame and what not.

She definitely won’t have failed her masters and got into a DPhil. The only way you’d switch like that is if they thought you were exceptional during your masters and supported fast tracking you. Which Oxford won’t do simply because she’s famous
She might have changed colleges and not courses though for some reason.
I think she’s just doing the Masters at New College. Just because it isn’t listed in the colleges for the creative writing masters doesn’t actually mean she can’t do it there, she’d just need to provide a decent reason to Oxford.
Is it possible to fail your master’s degree and still move on to a PhD at Oxford? I mean, I know people who graduated with a first-class degree and were top of their class, and they still weren’t accepted into a master’s or PhD program.
"her dad went back to negotiate a higher price" You have no way of knowing that
Number 1 rule on this blog. If someone claims to know something about Emma but provides no proof, they're making it up. There was a lot of that when she was dating Brandon Green.
is it her dad or step dad? maybe one of them disagreed harder than the other about her being famous we dont know the inner workings of the family
Her brother already confirmed a few weeks ago that she's still doing her masters. People just want to seem like they know something you don't.
Her family would be experts on what negative impact it has, don't see the issue
also if Emma is locked into a contract at age 10 for a lot of films its probably hard to get out of even if she was trying to at some stage maybe Warner Bros was like 'we will cripple you in court if you do this!'
we don't know.

No it absolutely won’t be possible to fail and still move up at a place like Oxford. If she’s been progressed to PHD it’s because they view her as a terrific candidate (which she wouldn’t be if she failed!!)
Guys please watch the short video of Emma’s dad. What he says is very positive and it’s been misrepresented
Please watch the actual video. He’s not negative at all
It’s on Times radio’s Instagram - it’s currently the 3rd post. He’s in a check shirt. He’s very sweet in it
In the article about the boat race it says: "Ms Watson has been at Oxford since 2023, when she decided to take a hiatus from acting to take a master’s degree in creative writing at Lady Margaret Hall.
She has since reportedly progressed to a DPhil – Oxford’s version of a PhD – at New College."

Does her family recycle clothes that much. Last that shirt was seen was when she went to brown uni with her dad.. in 09-10
In the new interview Emma's dad says that he doesn't watch movies, now i get why acting isn't her passion at all
No. The Daily Mail doesn't have real sources. They've made up three versions of that same BS tale. They just don't understand how universities work.
I know I always bring this up but this is the same Daily Mail that had a "source" saying she was settling down with Leo when we knew they'd already broken up. That was after she'd called them out for lying about her getting engaged. They don't like admitting they're wrong so they just add new lies to cover up the old ones.
its confirmed in 20 year anniversary show that emma tried to leave by david heyman interviews we do know that
they said she was till with green after fans knew they broke up months ago too lol terrible source of any info on emma
I doubt she ever tried to 'really' leave
Eden in that anniversary show isnt there a bit where emma says it from her own mouth she want to leave and Rupert said he wanted to as well briefly??
There is
I'm pretty sure all three of them have said they wanted to leave by around the release of Prisoner of Azkaban. I know Emma said it like a decade ago.
I can never understand the obsession on here with the Daily Mail and JKR.
All people seem to do is complain about their obsession with Emma and yet do the same thing.
In truth what the DM or JKR say about Emma is irrelevant and why people care is beyond me.
Dan never wanted to leave HP, he loved being on set with his friends David, Mark and the crew also he only missed a few days of filming in 10 years

if fail stopped saying these things people wouldnt talk about it take it up with them

Which is crazy because we got nothing for her birthday
Did she post on every one of her birthdays.
Eden how is the situation in your country now?
I don't know. Haven't checked the news in a bit.
It’s funny how people act like they know everything about Emma’s life
To be fair, most of the time it’s stuff that she says out of her own mouth …. or not so subtly implies given the context of the conversation.
Irrelevant question, but Eden, do you think that Emma looked quite sad with Leo? People say that all of the photos looked staged..maybe he was a cover boyfriend for an another, real boyfriend.
No.
Do you think Kieran still works at Oxford? If they are still together I wonder why there haven’t been any sightings of them together
Eden, did Emma secretly had kids between 2019-2020?
Yes, triplets.
He works at a different college in Oxford than the one she attends, as the course he teaches is for undergrads. And she isn’t exactly required to be on campus as often as undergrads are. Besides that, the only sighting of them together is assumed to be the picture from last May. And for all we know, it could just one of her friends. The the height difference and silhouette do somewhat match up… doesn’t necessarily mean it’s him though.
You missed it Emerson,Emmett and Charles (he goes by Charlie) look just like her. Their dads genes were truly just a formality, as they didn’t put up a fight. Oh and I almost forgot…princess Sofia.
Oh damn, that reminded me of those Prince Harry dating rumors. That feels like a billion years ago.
Kieran has graduated 🤣

What are you talking about?
Where is the picture from last May please?
Oxford’s colleges are small, multidisciplinary communities. Each one has students, academic staff, and administrative staff. Most colleges offer meals, libraries, accommodation, sports, events, and other opportunities to enrich your Oxford experience.
That's the most basic definition I could find on Oxford's website. There's a total of 43 of them. Kieran teaches a course to undergrads at one of those colleges (I won't say which one for the sake of his privacy). Meanwhile, Emma is doing her master's at a different one. Which is why it doesn't matter if they're dating or not, as she's not an undergraduate and he's never held a senior position to her.
Eden has a post about it. Emma is wearing a red sweater, and a guy who might have been Kieran or could have been somebody else was holding onto her backpack.
