The fandom is real. Hamilton mastermind Lin-Manuel Miranda is currently starring in his gargantuan hit, working on The Hamilton Mixtape, and dropping Hamiltome on April 12. Harry Potter heroine Emma Watson is currently the UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, starring as Belle in Disney’s eagerly anticipated live-action Beauty and the Beast and even says she wouldn’t mind apparating to Broadway for a bow. The two busy bees managed to sit down together during HeForShe Arts Week, discussing everything from compelling "him to include women in the sequel" to sorting the characters of Hamilton into Hogwarts Houses. (“Aaron Burr is obviously a Slytherin,” said Watson.) Watch the videos below for a fantastic discussion about gender equality, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Daniel Radcliffe impression and Emma Watson’s beatboxing skills (#werk).
