Sophie Turner defends Emma Watson after journalist mocks her recent speech

Don't mess with Sansa or Hermione.

Harry Potter star Emma Watson has established herself as one of the most respected opinions on a variety of social issue. The actress is a global goodwill ambassador for the UN and has used her position to highlight issues like gender equality and feminism.

The actress had a busy year having completed work in the live adaptation of Beauty and the Beast, however she made headlines recently after delivering a speech at the "Together for the 2030 Agenda: Partnering for Women, Children and Adolescents, to Thrive and Transform the World" event for which she was praised.

However, a journalist from The Sun, wasn't impressed by her speech. Have a read of this.
