You may have heard that JK Rowling crashed the Pottermore website by releasing a new short story. To which Emma Watson replied (in my imagination), “Oh, you crashed your little wizard fan site? That’s cute. I JUST CRASHED THE WHOLE F*CKING UNITED NATIONS.” Yes, that’s probably exactly what she said.
Emma Watson has been appointed as a UN Women as a Goodwill Ambassador (along with Nicole Kidman), where she’ll focus on “empowerment of young women and will serve as an advocate for UN Women’s HeForShe campaign.” Watson announced the news on Twitter:
So excited to start work with the AMAZING people at UN Women! 😊 xx @UN_Women @phumzileunwomen @e_nyamayaro

Those little tweets drove so much traffic to the UN Women’s website that it crashed.

Next up: Daniel Radcliffe will crash Craigslist by putting an old sofa up for sale, thereby completing the Harry Potter Internet Takedown of 2014.
