Emma Watson was grateful she was wearing underwear at the world premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

The 19-year-old actress - who plays school swot Hermione Granger in the hit wizard movie franchise - inadvertently flashed her panties at waiting fans as she adjusted her dress during the event in London’s Leicester Square.

She told American talk show host David Letterman the near-miss could have been even more embarrassing.

"This was a small wardrobe malfunction that happens. I actually don't remember it happening.

"At least I'm wearing underwear in the photos!"

The teenage beauty now realises she has a lot to learn when it comes to avoiding embarrassing situations.

She added: "I’m still learning, definitely still learning!"

Emma also confirmed she is going to university in America, but would not reveal which one.

The star - who is rumoured to be attending either Yale or Columbia - said: "I'm moving to the States. I'm doing a liberal arts degree and I'll hopefully focus in humanities.

"I'm young and indecisive and not quite sure what I want to major in -maybe English, or maybe art."

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince opens in New Zealand on Thursday.
