The Facebook video shows the _Harry Potter_ actress interviewing 18-year-old Malala Yousafzai about her life and advocacy. Yousafzai is the subject of the documentary _He Named Me Malala_, which looks at the events leading up to a Taliban attack on the Pakistani schoolgirl and Yousafzai’s subsequent advocacy in the aftermath. Watson says that the most profound moment was when Yousafzai identified herself as a feminist, saying that she was surprised to hear the Yousafzai use the hot-button word. “I think this gesture is so emblematic of what Malala and I went on to discuss. I’ve spoken before on what a controversial word feminism is currently,” Watson wrote on Facebook. “I want to make it a welcoming and inclusive movement. Let’s join our hands and move together so we can make real change. Malala and I are pretty serious about it but we need you.” Watch the video of Watson interviewing Yousafzai below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4100786/emma-watson-malala-yousafzai-feminism/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4100786/emma-watson-malala-yousafzai-feminism/"},"headline":"Watch Emma Watson and Malala Yousafzai Talk Feminism","datePublished":"2015-11-05T00:13:57.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:57:30.564Z","description":"Watson was moved by the 18-year-old calling herself a feminist","url":"https://time.com/4100786/emma-watson-malala-yousafzai-feminism/","keywords":["Living","feminism","women's rights","Emma Watson","Malala Yousafzai"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Daniel White","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/daniel-white/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-living/","name":"Living"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4100786/emma-watson-malala-yousafzai-feminism/","name":"Watch Emma Watson and Malala Yousafzai Talk Feminism"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Watch the Trailer for \"Stand With Malala\"","description":"","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/2Wl8HrGD/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-10-16T13:34:05.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/2Wl8HrGD.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4100786/emma-watson-malala-yousafzai-feminism/","duration":"PT3M37S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4100786/emma-watson-malala-yousafzai-feminism/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
