The Harry Potter star and gender equality campaigner had not specifically endorsed any one candidate, but she hinted her support was with Democrat Hillary Clinton in a lengthy note posted on social media last month.

On Wednesday, as Trump fans and critics reacted to the surprise win, Emma revealed she was more motivated than ever to continue the fight for equal rights.

As part of her He For She campaign work, the actress has been running a feminist book club, called Our Shared Shelf, and earlier this month, she joined London's Books On The Underground movement, in which "book fairies" leave their favourite reads on the transport network.

She decided to use the opportunity to spread the word about her book club's November recommendation, Maya Angelou's Mom & Me & Mom, and now she has taken the movement to the Big Apple.
