Emma Watson has admitted that she hopes that her college roommate isn't a diehard fan of the Harry Potter franchise.

The 19-year-old actress will be attending New York's Columbia University in autumn where she will reportedly be studying English Literature and Art. She said that she is eager to attend the American institute, but does have some reservations about potential flatmates.

She told People: "As long as there are no Harry Potter posters on the wall, I will be fine and happy. Oh God, it's part luck, isn't it? We'll see."

However, Watson, who plays Hermione Granger in the popular film series, did say that she will miss her homeland, adding: "I will miss Marmite, baked beans, London taxis and the rain."

It was reported earlier that the star believes that her life will change drastically after filming on Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows is completed.

Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince opens in cinemas on July 17.
