Talk:Beauty and the Beast (2017 film)/@comment-25732247-20160430224048

Can't wait for the LA-version! But before I say anything else, sorry for my bad English.

That being said, I think it will be a very good movie :) Emma Watson looks a lot like Belle (fair skin, brown hair, brown eyes, slender, pretty face) and I also think Belle is somehow similar to Hermione.

They are both bookworms, obviously, and they both stood up for people they liked, and they are both kind of lonely and seen as social outcasts (Hermione for having Muggle parents, Belle for having an eccentric father and both for being quiet, bookish and not concerned about looks) They can also both be slightly know-it-all-ish because of their knowledge.

All in all, I like both Hermione, Belle and Emma, and I believe Emma is a perfect casting choise, actually better than she was at playing Hermione. She was a bit to beautiful, I think, so playing a character who is literally named Beauty fits her better.

I loved the Yule Ball scene in Harry Potter 4, book and movie, and Emma walking down the stairs looks very similar to the scene in BatB where Belle does the same, just change the dress to gold, expand the skirt a bit and give her some long gloves.
