LONDON -- Women in 60 countries and on seven different continents mobilised Saturday to fight for their rights after Donald Trump's inauguration.

Anywhere between 3.6 million to 4.8 million people marched at Women's March events around the world.

And, among them, was none other than Harry Potter star and UN Women Global Goodwill Ambassador Emma Watson and her mum.

Watson and her mum, Jacqueline Luesby, attended the Women's March on Washington.

Fans at the march couldn't contain their excitement at seeing the Harry Potter star. One dad at the march made his daughter very jealous when he met the Hermione Granger actress.

And, other fans were made up to meet the star during the event.
