Our very own Harry Potter movie star Emma Watson, who plays the nerdy Hermione Granger in the movies, is freshening up people and priorities in life.

Apparently,  Emma Watson has ended her two-year relationship with financier Jay Barrymore.

Ex-couple Emma and Jay

And if her mates are to be believed, the 19-year-old has been spending time with Spanish musician and fellow student

Rafael Cebrian since the split. Do not forget that Emma is currently studying her college at Brown University in the USA. According  to the Daily Mail, the pair became close friends last November while Emma was still in a relationship with Jay, and since the split she has been heavily leaning on Rafael.

In related news, Emma Watson will be performing in a student-directed production of Anton Chehkov’s Three Sisters at Brown University, where she is a freshman. The event, which was announced on Facebook, has since been removed.

The play is being produced by the school’s Production Workshop, a non-profit student theater founded in 1960. Watson, with an ensemble cast of 13 other students, will perform six shows from March 11-15.

Unlike her other projects, this one won’t be bringing a sizable payday for Watson: Admission to the play is free.
