It’s official, we have a new Disney Princess on our hands and its Emma Watson!

The star reached out to her Twitter followers and announced that she will be playing Belle in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast.

“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.”

As a massive Disney fanatic I couldn’t be more thrilled by the news!
