Emma Watson, also commonly known as Hermione Granger is not only an amazing actress, but role model, person and humanitarian. The 26 year old model & activist is currently a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador helping to establish gender equality across the world is an inspiration to men and women everywhere. In addition to staring in a number of films, Watson graduated from Ivy League Brown University in May 2014 with a degree in English. Never acting professionally prior to the Harry Potter series, Watson has come a long way since the first film aired in 2001. She is set to play Belle in the live-action version of the classic Disney Film Beauty and the Beast. The following are 5 reasons Emma Watson should be recognized beside her accomplishments as Hermione Granger.

What a big heart!As we all can see, Emma Watson fully embraces the bright spirit, sharp mind and huge heart that she portrays as Hermione Granger. While being a role model and an icon both on and off the screen, Watson has truly made her mark on the world. I feel lucky to have been able to see her grow from the girl on the Hogwarts Express telling Ron he has dirt on his nose, to the woman she is today.
