About the HP books being full of stereotypes (2007): "Harry Potter has helped change loads of stereotypes. Where else, in fiction, can you find a character as clever as Hermione, who is an absolute feminist and won't accept to be second to none? Gosh! It's true that they're children books, but they cover most important subjects like life, death, politics, the importance of friendship and the choices that need to be made. Harry Potter really makes children think, it's not just like any other production for teenagers."

Emma Launches IMPACT 10X10X10 Initiative

Impact-1

Emma Watson launched the HeForShe IMPACT 10X10X10 Initiative on Friday speaking at the Davos World Economic Forum.

“The groundswell of response we have received in support for HeForShe tells us we are tapping into what the world wants: to be a part of change. Now we have to channel that energy into purposeful action. The pilot initiative provides that framework. Next we need all country leadership, as well as that of hundreds of universities and corporations to follow HeForShe’s IMPACT 10x10x10 so as to bring an end to the persisting inequalities faced by women and girls globally,” said Emma Watson, UN Women Global Goodwill Ambassador.

    It’s verys short and she says not quite much, just hello to everybody and some stuff like that.

    I’m searching for the whole event to watch, like back in September.

    In the fourth picture you can see Emma speaking at the podium, yet it seems like footage of that speech hasn’t been posted anywhere, at least that I am aware of.

    Emma also did a twitter Q and A on HeForShe.

    Anyway I’m glad to see that it’s making an impact and is getting so much support.

    Keep fighting the good fight Emma. :).
