Happy Holidays, Emma! I‛m a huge fan of you and everybody in Harry Potter. It‛s so amazing how well you did playing Hermione!

In this world, if men were simply be�erWhy do men and women live on the Earth together?“Women are needed to make babies,” argue one may“Then treat them as you’d want to be treated,” I say“With men superior, there’s no stability,” I add“Women must earn the rights that men have long had.”

But through HeforShe, new dreams have come trueOne mission to reach equality for me and youYes! When he is for she, we’re on a roleEnding gender inequality becomes a shared goal

Many na�ons unite, that is the historySuppor�ng women in our world’s cultural legacyWorking hard, having fun, and learning new thingsFinding girls who play football, and boys who dance

and sing

Feminists have nothing to fear, and I do not doubtAt the end of this year, gender equality is important

to think about

Happy Holidays, Miss Watson!Wishing you the best,Jayce

Dear Emma,

I am Márk (Tóth), a 17 years old boy from Hungary and a boy who really admires actually everything you do. Finally I have the opportunity and the time to sit down, and write you a letter, what will probably reach you.

First of all I want to thank you SO MUCH the hard working that you unceasingly do, to make our world a much better place and to entertain us with movies . You are my role model, you REALLY motivate me in basicly every single part of my life whether it‛s learning English,( or studying for an exam) or fighting against gender inequality (mostly in Hungary, which is especially hard for me at the moment, I would be really happy if I got useful ideas). You are the most wonderful human being on this planet, I wish I would know a person like you personally, I know that you‛ve already heard these words a million times before but I wanted to make sure that you know this.

Last but not least I want to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, I hope that you‛ll achieve even more next year, and good luck with your upcoming films and film roles.

Love,Mark, from Hungary <3

Hi Emma,

I can‛t believe I‛m writing to you! You‛ve probably heard this before, but it seems worthy to say again: You are an amazing actress, person, and role model!You‛ve been a great inspiration to me, and thanks to you, I‛m a better person. I wish you all the best.

Good luck in the future, and happy holidays! xoxo Emily

I wish you a merry christmas season. I am looking forward to beauty and the beast and the circle. So excited!

Emma, Merry Christmas, I feel like I have had many with you since you & my wife look similarly when she was @ 21 or so....Many more, wish you were here in lee summit, Mo....Fred

Thank you for being a leader in the world one of the few to live up to your promises. And for being considerate, when you ask for help you allow it to be a choice and you give poeple the tools they need. Such as the app to find MPs. Thanks for being the hope in 2016. You make a difference in people lives and you never undervalue your influence or take it lightly. Above all selfish I know, but you make me smile when it is hardest to do so. Merry Christmas and wishing you another successful year Em.

From bottom of my heart ❤ I wish you a very happy & prosperous Christmas......cheers😉

Hi.. Merry Christmas. Love you!

Anurag, India

Dear Emma!

‛Tis the season! I hope you have lots of snow at your Christmas/Holiday residency. And may you have lots of mint pies - I heard you‛re rather fond of them.

Now, this is my second (or third) time already, wishing you a happy Christmas!

For all that you did in this year of 2016, you did great. You delivered wonderful speeches, which I‛m sure I will listen to so often I‛ll memorize them simply by doing so. You‛re good at delivering speeches

Now, delivering speeches is not the only wonderful thing you did this year – one must not forget OurSharedShelf, which is close to 160.000 members – if we all gathered, we could inhabit Salzburg, which is quite impressive in my opinion.

Thank you for giving me a second home in OSS, for I LOVE to read the books (and My Life on the Road really was a kick-off start to begin with, what a wonderful book!). I LOVE the anticipation for the new book each two months, I‛m really into reading biographies because of OSS – and well, there‛s even a scientific research happening right now, in which I‛m happy to participate!

I LOVE the debates, and I love to call you „THE BOSS LADY“! You so deserve it!

But there is one more thing you deserve: rest!

It must be really exhausting to read a book per week, to have OSS (and be in charge of it, although you do have wonderful moderators by your side who support you )

and in addition still have a daily life with all its struggles.

So enjoy your holiday season and have lots of fun, because you deserve every tiny bit of it! Go skiing, read a book, go to a restaurant, do whatever you like to do! Simply have a happy, wonderful time with your loved ones!

And remember this: the sacrifice of Jesus was probably the most HeforShe moment in history! At Christmas, we celebrate his birth, which is no less a reason to be joyful!

Your loyal fan (who sent you a fan letter weighing two ounces)

From Austria, Valerie

Dear Emma,

Merry Christmas and a very happy new year. Hope you keep up this amazing work next year, even though if you would perform 100 times less you would still be the best and most beautiful to me!

Lots of Love from the Netherlands, Robert Houthakker

Merry Christmas

I‛m a Japanese junior high school student. I like you very much! I‛ll also support now! Please come to Japan by all means!

Hi Emma, I Wish You A Merry Christmas And Happy New Year. May You Find Next Year Full Of Joy, Happiness And Success. Loving You Always.

Dearest Emma, My Soul and Only wish is to be Available to Love & Support You, Always. I know Christmas is too soon to ask for our first kiss but it‛s my only wish. I am here for you from afar

Jake, USA

Happy Holidays Emma. I hope 2017 gives you everything your heart desires in the way of your career and personal goals. I hope it brings you good health. I admire the person you are and who you have become since the Hermione days. Be true to yourself.

The Emma Watson Christmas

One frosty Christmas night, a young girl was fast asleep in her Emma Watson duvet when faintly threw her ears she heard a noise outside her door, the noise was a emma bird delivering emma watson presents to her. The girl was Kathleen. Thats when her sister came and asked what was wrong, Kathleen said nothing and pretended to go back to bed. Her sister left and soon enough they were both fast asleep. Her sister was called Chloris. They both loved Emma Watson and they were so happy with their Emma Watson presents, when they woke up in the morning.

From Chloris and Kathleen

We love this picture!!!

We even have the book!!!!!!! How are you so beautiful!!!!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New year, Emma!

Congratulations with holidays! Thank you for all you did in this year and for you are such an Emmazing, nice, cute, smart and stylish inspiration of the yearS! I wish you have a good health, be happy, achieve all what you planned and will plan, execution of all your wishes, much luck and also, I wish you stay who you are, because that‛s why our planet goes round and that‛s why I, and many another people, love you. If your the best fan (me:), could didn‛t start to love you, I could never noticed this a really huge problem - gender inequality.

Was it strange for you to see words that I‛m your the best fan? I can tell you my story in a poem to you understand...

~ My Poem ~

When I‛ll soon had to become ten, I went to the TV school, To study how to work on TV, and it was cool: We were studying to don‛t be scared, To ask people questions varied, We were studying to make shows right - To don‛t be scared to be on one and on the other side. “You‛ll have an interview with Harry Potter” - teacher said. Oh, I didn‛t read and watch it yet! My parents bought me first film and book, But I DIDN‛T like it, look!

My interview with Harry, good was not, But I had my mistakes note. Than, for my birthday, after approximately 2 years, My friends presented me second and third book (thanks dears!..), And I read them all and fast! They were so interesting, so, I had them all must! I watched and read all films and books, And I remember moment that - When Hermione got well after a transformation into the cat, She was staying on the balcony so sweet... “Who played Hermione?” - desided I to search it, So I downloaded so many cute pics of you. Before I started to love you as I now do, I saw in Internet you have an account in Twitter, And I was like a Rita Skeeter: I was asking and requesting my dad, To he let me join Twitter too, but results were sad. But I him requested and requested, So at twenty-eighth October 2015, I registered. I loved and loved you more and more. Than I was looking your posts and news for, And that‛s why I started to love more. Than, after some time, I become your the best fan, And started all this, when I was nine-ten...

~The End~

So, if you read this one of my poems, you could asked yourself “How this, such a little girl, could call herself

my the best fan, if she‛s so little and she could don‛t love me when she‛ll grow up?” No! I hope I‛ll never stop love you! And if I‛ll be sure that when I‛ll grow up I‛ll stop love you, than my the most wanted wish will be not to meet you, it will be stay such a young how I‛m now! “OK, - maybe you thought, - and what did this girl to prove her love, expect writing poems? How she shows her support to me?” And I have an answer too: I started to love you so much, as I do now, not so long time ago, only some months ago, so all is in front! And also, I have bad eyesight (the same with you, I think), so I shouldn‛t seat much in phone, but I do, specially to you see me. If you want to stop me do this victim, let me just meet you!

Also, you could ask “So why she thinks she‛s my the best fan?” Because of my strange and ununderstandable feelings to you.

But I‛m not sure you‛ll ask yourself the same questions, because you‛ll laugh, maybe, because in one interview you said that you can‛t understand people, who adore person, who they don‛t know and you can adore only people, who you know personally. And that‛s why I want to meet you - to make me sure that you‛re the same Emmazing woman, as I can see from videos, pictures and films.

Wait, is it a greeting message or a message of my lifestory???

So, expect all I wished you before, I wish you find your love in this new year, if you didn‛t yet, I wish you don‛t be bored of your fame, and Love Good! Here‛s one more my poem with greetings...

~ My Poem ~

Happy New year! You done so many for this year, You are so big well done, dear!

You continued your old deal - eco clothes, You continued be Emmazing, in many causes, You continued filming in movies popular, You continued reading many books regular, You continued winning in many nominations, You continued staying an icon of fashions, You continued for gender equality fighting, You continued getting experience existing. Also, you were books underground hiding, Also, you were in Malawi and Zambia going, Also, you ended 1,500 children‛s marriages, Also, you created a bookclub the largest...

Look how amazing this your year was! Look how amazing you are, our English rose!

~The End~

Greetings from Ukraine and from your the best fan,Olexandra

Merry Christmas Emma.

As 2016 comes to a close, let‛s just say we have a lot more work to do in the coming years. I hope you can continue your work with Our Shared Shelf even as you resume your acting duties. Tough times are ahead, and people need to be educated and informed more than ever. To think that around the time of your birthday this year, it seemed like what we are facing now was unthinkable. Yet here we are.

On a lighter note, I hope you had fun with your work with Our Shared Shelf this year, and that you found it to be an interesting learning experience. I myself have learned a lot over the past few years. Do you plan on doing something to reflect on your work this year? It would be interesting to hear from you on what you‛ve learned and what‛s changed in your outlook, if anything.

Anyway, I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Love, Kevin, USA

Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas to You and all the people You love!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Ms. Watson. I am proud to announce my two oldest kids are now Harry Potter fans. Angelee is 10 and Alec is 8. They just love the series. I am still saddened at the loss of Alan Rickman and I just bet he is watching over you. You are a wonderful talent to watch and a very gracious person to be sure. Good luck on your many endeavors. Perhaps one day I should be so fortunate to meet you. God bless and be safe. (:

Darren Daniels, USA

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 2017 Emma! Seems that was yesterday when I saw you, face to face, at the LA premiere back in 2007. I´ll never forget that moment. Time flies! Look at the woman you have become. And I feel this is just part of the beginning. I‛m very very proud of you. Please, stay in the path. In every passing year, Destiny is glimpsed. Look ahead with optimism and security. Keep moving and growing. The best is yet to come!

My best wishes for you, dear Emma :) Luis, México

Emma, I miss your Christmas message videos you used to post on your website. You have always left the impression that Christmas is a very special time for you and I hope you have a very happy and blessed Christmas. There was a long quote you put on your website back in 2007 about how if we witnessed Gabriel announcing to Mary that she would be the Mother of God, would we not have begged her to undertake this task so that we may be free. Gabriel is a protector of people who work in telecommunications, so it would seem he is a protector of your. His name means ‘Strength of God‛ and I hope that you have the strength to do the good you set out to do.

“Christmas is built upon a beau�ful and inten�onal paradox; that the birth of the homeless should be celebrated in every home.” -G.K. Chesterton

A prayer to Saint Gabriel:

I pray to you to assist me as I develop the strength to carry out my life‛s mission. Please send your strengthening energy to help me live life with courage and love for myself and all humanity. With you guidance I will strive to fulfill my purpose and assist others on their journey. This I ask of you through Christ‛s universal energy. Amen
