She just turned 25, but Emma Watson is already one of Time's 100 most influential people!
The British beauty started out as a child star in one of the film industry's biggest movie franchise ever. She played one of three main characters in the eight "Harry Potter" movies, and it looks like her achievements in real life would make Hermione Granger proud of her muggle counterpart.
Despite already earning so much more than any actress her age, the Brown University graduate chose to pursue an English Literature degree as well as fight for equality for both sexes.
Time honored the "Regression" star due to her untiring support for feminism. She launched the "HeForShe" campaign last year which asked for help from men all over the world to keep women and little girl safe.
She also spoke infront of world leaders at the United Nations headquarters last September, setting the record straight on what feminism is exactly.
In fact, she is not only fighting for women's rights but the "political, economic and social equality of the sexes."
Her views, coupled by clear actions, helped put Emma Watson on Time's 100 Most Influential People list.
She also used social media - Facebook, Twitter and Instagram - as a powerful platform to spread awareness all over the world. Other celebrities - close friends and admirers - also helped her with the campaign.
Emma Watson's inclusion in Time's 100 Most Influential list is definitely the best birthday gift for the "Perks Of Being A Wallflower" star.
Watson recently celebrated her birthday with a few of her co-stars from the highly-anticipated Disney classic remake, "Beauty And The Beast."
Who else can say that she starred in one of the world's most successful movie franchise of all time, launched a worldwide campaign for feminism, became a UN ambassador for women and landed in Time's 100 most influential list at the age of 25?
