Forbes has introduced a new list of influential people, the inaugural 30 Under 30 Europe List. The list includes 300 people under the age of 30, divided into ten categories of 30, that are “leaders, creative inventors, and brash entrepreneurs.”

Emma made the list of 30 entertainers. The category picked it’s 30 Under 30 by “watching young impresarios work their craft on the court and the silver screen.” Emma Watson got nominated for both her work in film, and her work as the United Nations Women Goodwill Ambassador for gender equality. Forbes describes why Emma made the list, saying:

Emma Watson, 25 – Actor

(United Kingdom) “Arguably the most successful graduate of Hogwarts, Watson has starred in both big budget movies (“Noah”) and Indie fare (“Colonia”). A United Nations Women Goodwill Ambassador since 2014, Watson’s advocacy on behalf of the HeForShe campaign makes her an important spokesperson for gender equality.”

Emma Watson and Malala Yousafzai met for the Into Film Festival premiere of the big screen biopic “He Named Me Malala”.

Emma conducted a live Q&A with Malala as part of the event, with the interview screened in over 80 cinemas around the UK. The film festival kicked off with the live event in Birmingham.

Over 10,000 school children and teachers in 80 cinemas across the UK were treated to a live stream of Emma and Malala’s chat following the ‘Pupils’ Premiere’ of new film He Named Me Malala.

The Q & A opened with a conversation between the two young women which covered a variety of topics including education and identifying with feminism, while Emma also asked Malala questions submitted by students and teachers across the UK.

The full interview can be found on Emma’s Facebook page.

He Named Me Malala, directed by acclaimed documentary filmmaker Davis Guggenheim, is an intimate portrait of Malala, who was targeted by the Taliban and severely wounded by a gunshot when returning home on her school bus in Pakistan’s Swat Valley.
