Apparently, Hermione is trading in her wizarding robes for a poofy yellow dress!

The Harry Potter alum is set to star in Disney’s live action film of Beauty and the Beast as Belle. Production begins later this year, and will be directed by Bill Condon, the same director behind The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.

 

 

Emma had this to say on her Facebook page:

I’m finally able to tell you… that I will be playing Belle in Disney’s new live-action Beauty and the Beast! It was such a big part of my growing up, it almost feels surreal that I’ll get to dance to ‘Be Our Guest’ and sing ‘Something There’. My six year old self is on the ceiling – heart bursting. Time to start some singing lessons. I can’t wait for you to see it. Emma xx

No word on its release date yet, but we’re sure this is an adaptation to look forward to!
