Emma Watson has been appointed a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations (UN).
The 'Bling Ring' actress is "excited" about her role promoting gender equality and the empowerment of women for the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women division of the international organisation.
She tweeted: "So excited to start work with the AMAZING people at UN Women! (sic)"
The 24-year-old beauty - who has visited Bangladesh and Zambia to promote girls' education - went on to say she is humbled by the role and hopes to "make a real difference" to the lives of women and girls around the world.
She said in a statement: "Women's rights are something so inextricably linked with who I am, so deeply personal and rooted in my life that I can't imagine an opportunity more exciting.
"I still have so much to learn, but as I progress I hope to bring more of my individual knowledge, experience and awareness to this role."
And the UN are equally delighted to have Emma on board.
Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of UN Women, said: "We are thrilled and honoured to work with Emma, whom we believe embodies the values of UN Women.
"The engagement of young people is critical for the advancement of gender equality in the 21st century, and I am convinced that Emma's intellect and passion will enable UN Women's messages to reach the hearts and minds of young people globally."
The 'Harry Potter' star will now work for UN Women's HeForShe campaign which calls for men and boys to stand up against inequalities faced by women and girls around the world.

Prince George's new nanny is trained in self-defence and driving at high speeds.
A new article which offers a detailed insight into the young heir's first 12 months has claimed Spanish childminder Maria Teresa Turrion Borallo came highly recommended to Prince William and Duchess Catherine because of her incredible set of skills.
Vanity Fair magazine's Katie Nicholl claims Maria was recommended by a friend and her "credentials include experience in self-defence, high-speed driving, and dealing with paparazzi".
It's thought the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge decided to hire Maria after their previous nanny Jessie Webb - who raised Prince William as a youngster - decided she wasn't fit to travel to Australia and New Zealand in April for a gruelling 11-day tour.
Prior to accompanying the royals on their Australian trip, Maria spent a week bonding with George at the home of Catherine's parents Michael and Carole Middleton in Bucklebury, Berkshire, while his parents were on holiday in the Maldives.
Nicholl also claims that Jessie had a heavy hand in helping form George's sleeping patterns and the little one's voracious appetite while breastfeeding often meant he refused to sleep through the night.
It's only in the last several months that George has begun sleeping through the night since his mother introduced solid foods into his diet.
