Absolute Best Moment: Her UN speech for feminism

Watson has taken a huge stand in the fight for feminism. When she was appointed UN's Women's Global Goodwill Ambassador and helped launch the gender equality campaign HeForShe, she gave a speech on women's rights that went viral in September 2014.

"And the more I've spoken about feminism, the more I have realized that fighting for women's rights has too often become synonymous with 'man-hating.' If there is one thing I know for certain it is that this has to stop," Watson stated in the inspirational speech, which you can watch in its entirety below.

The HeForShe campaign calls upon men and boys to help put a stop to the inequalities women and girls face on a global platform.

This young activist has rallied some prominent men behind the campaign, including fellow British actors Ben Barnes and Eddie Redmayne.

Very Best Moment: Getting a college education

Hey, when you're a major Hollywood actress, whose career started as child actor in one the biggest franshises in film history, you don't really NEED to go to college. You've got money, a solid career with a bright future and an active social life. But Watson is multidimensional; that's why she attended both Brown University and Oxford studying English Literature, and graduating from the former in May of last year. It just go to show that she can be not only a gifted actress, but also a brilliant scholar.

Hilarious Best Moment: Punching Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

This 25-year-old got her start in the Harry Potter franchise and while she has gone on to portray other great characters with incredible stories, there is one scene in particular that every HP fan loves most...it's when she slugs that brat Draco (played by Tom Felton) in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban! Hermione is a fiercely strong and loyal friend and the scene is monumental and just overall really awesome. Extra points go to Gryffindor if we're being honest!

Thoughtful Best Moment: Being named the "Most Outstanding Woman in 2015" by AskMen

Most men's publication lists counting down female celebrities aren't exactly the bastions of anti-shallow sentiments. But AskMen's recent list of 99 outstanding women takes so much more than their external beauty into account.

"This year we're celebrating the beautiful, talented, glamorous and just plain kicka-- women who are defining the world we live in," the online men's mag explained.

"Emma Watson is so many incredible things at once - rich, successful, famous, stylish, beautiful, intelligent, personable, kind. And yet, rather than be content with a life of luxury, she's thrown her back into a serious social issue in an effort to shift the way our society treats women," James Bassil, the AskMen publisher, shared.

Fairytale Best Moment: Winning the role Belle for Disney's live-action Beauty and the Beast

Earlier this year, Disney announced that it had tapped Watson to play Belle in the live-action version of Beauty and the Beast, set for a March 2017 release. The actress gushed about the news on her Facebook.

Belle is such an iconic Disney character princess and we think casting Watson was a match made in heaven given her talent, kindness, beauty and brains, which will lend themselves to portraying the best Belle possible.

"It was such a big part of my growing up, it almost feels surreal that I'll get to dance to 'Be Our Guest' and sing 'Something There,'" Watson shared about Beauty and the Beast and landing her starring role. She even dished that her much younger 6-year-old self is overjoyed; "on the ceiling - heart bursting."

Plus, it looks like the cast is having a brilliant time together. Josh Gad, who will portray Le Fou, shared a Beauty and the Beast cast selfie on Tuesday, April 14.
