Social Roundup: HeForShe
There is much for the Potter community to be proud of, both in the actions of the book and film series’ creators and within the fandom itself. A shining example of this could be found, last week, at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, where Emma Watson gave her outstanding HeforShe speech.
This was my #heforshe speech. http://t.co/b2qzm7h0mS
