In an awesome video interview for the UN Women’s campaign HeForShe, Emma Watson talks to Lin-Manuel Miranda about feminism…by beatboxing to his freestyle verse!
Emma Watson, Drop The BeatAnd here’s a SHORT clip of Emma Watson beatboxing while I freestyle about #HeForShe, if you only have 3 minutes. This was so fun.

But it isn’t enough that Watson is putting so much of herself into the fight for gender equality, and it isn’t enough that Miranda didn’t hesitate to say “Yes” when Watson asked him if he is a feminist. And it isn’t even enough that Watson agreed to beatbox!
The thing that really makes these two the cinnamon roll-iest is that they, very seriously, had a conversation about sorting the characters in Hamilton into Hogwarts houses. In true Hermione fashion, Watson came very prepared.
Sorting Hamilton into Hogwarts with Emma WatsonI talked to Emma Watson for #HeforShe, but not before sorting Hamilton the Musical characters into Hogwarts houses. Full interview coming up later today!

If this doesn’t make your day, make you want to listen to Hamilton, or make you want to become more active in the fight for gender equality, I don’t know how else I can help you.
Also, I hate to disagree with Hermione…but Hamilton is totally Slytherin, at least personality-wise. Slytherin is about all about ambition, and Hamilton has that in spades. Then again…he might not be pure-blood enough for Slytherin on any level.
I’ll leave that debate up to the rest of you!
