Emma Watson, actor and activist, is one of the most influential young ladies of our generation. She has always been someone that girls can look up to, whether it be as her character Hermione Granger or as herself. Growing up on a movie set with some of the most talented actors in the world, Emma has been one of the few child actors that has remained grounded through adulthood. She rose to fame in one of the most popular series of our generation with Harry Potter. Although she has starred in other movies, I think her most popular role is and will always be as Hermione Granger. Hermione was a bright young witch, but Emma is just as bright as the character she played.

She attended Brown University while in the midst of filming some of the biggest movies of this century. It is quite impressive to see a young woman educating herself even though she already had a strong career in acting. After becoming such a house held name, Emma has become such a powerful influence to her audience. Now, with 23 million followers Emma is taking her fame to really help send a message. She is a strong advocator for HeForShe, which is a solidarity movement for gender equality. As well as being a strong advocator, she is a Global Goodwill Ambassador, which is a part of UN Women. She fights for women’s right and is constantly on her social media platforms informing her 23 million followers on what she is working towards. Emma Watson is a talented actor, activist and person that inspires many young girls across the world.

Here are some reasons why I would love to be Emma Watson for one day:

1. She has a British accent.

2. Her phone is probably filled with celebrity phone numbers. Those of which including possibly, Daniel Radcliffe or Rupert Grint.

3. Going hand in hand with #2, she can text her Harry Potter cast mates whenever she wants and as someone who loves Harry Potter that seems pretty awesome.

4. She is so incredibly smart and graduated from Brown University.

5. She stands up for what she believes in.

6. She got to grow up in the magic of Harry Potter.

7. She is staring in the new Disney rendition of Belle.
