The British beauty, who is one of the ambassadors for the United Nations HeForShe outreach movement, also opened up about why she believes Hermione Granger is a strong feminist character in the "Harry Potter" films.
"Hermione was that perfect example of turning on its head this initial prejudice that she gets. Hermione finds a way to wield her intelligence and become really the leader in this group of two other boys and thats kind of the role that she assumes.
"Harry is much more intuitive. Ron is just along for the ride. Hermione is the one with the plan. Shes in control. I think somehow that gave other women permission to feel that they were allowed to take up space.
"What is so fundamentally beautiful about Hermione is her loyalty to that group of friends. Shes really the glue that keeps that trio together. Its fundamental, and the boys knew it, and they really treat her as if they know that."
