Emma Watson wants to be a Hollywood screenwriter

Emma Watson is keen to put her English Literature studies to good use by becoming a Hollywood screenwriter.

The Harry Potter actress recently returned to studying at Rhode Island's Brown University after spending a year abroad at Oxford University in England and taking time off to continue her movie career.

Watson has now revealed she is harbouring ambitions to become a writer and hopes to eventually work on screenplays.

She tells Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper, "I would like to adapt something. Maybe eventually even (write) an original work... I would love to think I could write, but I would feel a bit intimidated. It is definitely something I'd like to do, though."
