My thoughts on Emma Watson as Belle


I literally thought that Anne Hathaway would be Belle in the live action version of Beauty & The Beast. I hope Emma Watson will do this one justice.

I grew up watching Emma Watson in the Harry Potter movies from 2001 to 2012 so seeing her play my favourite princess in Beauty & The Beast its gonna be interesting.

I thought she was ok. I felt the beast was too old tho.

Anne Hathaway is almost 35 years old for crying out loud. Belle is supposed to be a teenager. Emma did a wonderful job and it's a wonderful movie.

Anne Hathaway?! Geez! That would've been a major disaster.

I'm one person who never saw the Harry Potter movies. Just never had any interest in them.

So Emma Watson was new to me in this movie really. I loved her and I don't think anyone could have done a better job. I'm glad they didn't use Anne or anyone else. Also loved all the other choices as well.

I find Harry Potter boring. But yes I loved Emma Watson as Belle. People moan that she has a bitch face and that she is bland but do you know what I found her very good as Belle.
