Yeah, Emma Watson's representative says it's because she wants to take a class that's not offered at Brown... yeah, right. I'm having trouble imagining a class good enough to make me want to transfer universities to take it. Even if it's an entire major deal, I imagine that it must be in combination with the "3 points to Gryffindor" shit.
Honestly though, her expecting to be "normal" was unfortunately pretty unrealistic.
Just for some perspective, can someone from the UK explain what exactly the A-levels are and how hard it is to get straight A's on them?

In the UK you finish high school at 16 and take what we call GCSE's. Following on from those you take A levels which are a steping stone from College to University.
I dont claim to know what her grades were, but shes obviously somewhat intelligent, or at least has an academic mindset to achieve decent A level grades.
