Emma Watson reveals graduation gift given to her by Stephen Chbosky

Emma Watson reveals the book Perks of Being a Wallflower director gave her as a graduation gift

“You, my dear Sam, are infinite.”

Emma Watson is sharing the sweet graduation gift that she received from Perks of Being a Wallflower writer and director Stephen Chbosky.

As part of Vogue’s recurring “What’s In My Bag” segment, the Harry Potter actress showcased some of the items that she’s packed for an upcoming trip to London. Tucked in amongst her collection of personal diaries — and a whole array of Zicam nasal swabs — was a limited edition copy of T. S. Eliot’s poem The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, which she revealed Chbosky gave her after she graduated from Brown University in 2014.

“Actually, this copy has an inscription in it from Steve Chbosky who I did the Perks of Being A Wallflower with,” Watson explained. “And it’s so sweet the note that he wrote, so I have to read it.”

“For Emma on her graduation. These words by T.S. Eliot are forever. So is your passion for learning, for living, for literature,” Chbosky wrote on its opening page. “I couldn’t be happier or prouder of you for this accomplishment. You inspire me everyday. Please enjoy this limited edition for an unlimited life.”
