WHAT would Hermione say?

Actress Emma Watson took to the Oscars red carpet on Sunday evening with a cause close to her heart tattooed on her arm. Only the powerful “Times up” (sic) message had a critical apostrophe missing.

Pictures of the tattoo quickly gained traction online, and it didn’t take long for Watson to embrace the joke.

The 27-year-old Harry Potter star has been one of the most prominent advocates of the Time’s Up movement against sexual harassment in Hollywood.

Watson also shared an open letter from several high profile women in entertainment on Instagram about the movement.

“All of us are responsible for creating change, whatever industry you work in. We’re asking everyone to help create a world we can be proud of — one that is safe, just and equal. Please join us and donate to the new Justice and Equality Fund, which will support frontline organisations that are working to end a culture where harassment and abuse are commonplace,” she wrote.

“Together we can spread our message, support the strong people of all genders who are taking such personal risks, and make sure that this is one of those watershed moments in history where things never go back to the way they were before. This is the moment we stand together and say. #TIMESUP.”
