Harry Potter star Emma Watson has hinted she may quit acting after she takes time out to attend university.

Watson previously announced her desire to continue her education and has even applied to a number of colleges, both in the U.K. and America, to start her studies next year.

And now the 18-year-old has admitted she is "uncertain" she will return to the big screen after her break.

She says, "It's weird, because I've always felt uncertain that acting is what I wanted to do. Just because this has happened to me doesn't necessarily mean it's the right thing."
