Emma Watson quit university after being bullied over her role in the Harry Potter films, it has been claimed.

The actress, who plays Hermione Granger in the series, announced that she was postponing her education at Brown University last month to concentrate on other projects.

However, the New York Daily News reports that Watson was taunted by fellow students, who constantly shouted references to the film at her.

They would apparently shout out "Three points for Gryffindor" whenever she correctly answered a question in class, referring to one of the houses at Hogwarts school.

She is said to have become "frustrated" with her attempts to fit in with other students and was also teased while attending a college football game.

Watson recently admitted that she feels sorry for Kate Middleton due to the pressure she is under ahead of the royal wedding.
