We Don't Need Hermione, Anyway

The last time we checked in on Emma Watson's plans for post-Hogwarts higher education, our trusty sources had her set to slum it with bulldogs in New Haven. She'd gone on this Ivy League tour last year to scope out potential colleges and somehow managed to skip our own stellar institution. (It is possible she confused us with Penn State. We hear that happens sometimes.) But now it appears that Watson is headed to Columbia in the fall. Now we didn't actually do any of this recon ourselves - we're on vacation, obviously - but the trustworthiest of sources reports that there's a Charlotte E. Watson in Columbia's directory, Charlotte being Emma's middle name. (Sneaky!) Ordinarily this sort of news would depress us, but we still have hope! Columbia wasn't even on Emma's original list of schools; she only visited Harvard, Yale and Brown. We've got 70 days until NSO begins. She has plenty of time to come to her senses and ditch the Hudson for the Schuylkill.
