Today I would like to show in La Vanguardia’s Readers’ Photos these images taken in Arnes, in the Terra Alta region, where a mural starring the actress Emma Watson caught my attention.

One of the protagonists of the Harry Potter film saga is portrayed next to a phrase that invites optimism in the face of adversity.

Specifically, the message, which seems to want to encourage and enhance the self-esteem of the fellow citizens of this town, says: “Aixeca’t, estima’t i somriu al món” (“Stand up, love yourself and smile at the world”).

Without a doubt, a beautiful phrase accompanied by the image of an actress who is also an activist. Emma Watson was chosen to play Hermione in Harry Potter at the age of nine.

The performer has participated in philanthropy and environmental sustainability campaigns. In 2013, for example, she posed for photos in support of the Natural Beauty campaign, by American photographer James Houston, with the purpose of raising funds for Global Green USA, a non-governmental organization focused on sustainability and environmental preservation. atmosphere.
