'Beauty and the Beast' 2017 Movie References 'Harry Potter'; Kohl's Starts Disney Fashion Line
The "Beauty and the Beast" 2017 movie release date is just around the corner on March 17, 2017. The most recent trailer shows Watson singing the iconic "Belle" soundtrack, except there's a line in the scene that will remind fans of "Harry Potter". Meanwhile, there's a new line of "Beauty and the Beast" dresses made available at Kohl's.
Fans can't wait for the "Beauty and the Beast" 2017 live-action movie adaptation. Others are excited for the movie since it will be a musical, unlike the 2015 "Cinderella" live-action. Another thing that got fans excited is that Emma Watson is starring in the movie as the bookish, brilliant, and brave Belle opposite the dashing Dan Stevens as the Beast.
Watson's inclusion in the film has changed some things. The "Beauty and the Beast" 2017 trailers revealed that Belle is the inventor genius and not her father. Also, Watson was adamant about not wearing a corset for her iconic golden yellow gown. Many fans knew Watson for her unforgettable role in "Harry Potter" as Hermione Granger. Well, it would seem that Disney threw one nod to her former film in the new trailer.
According to Telegraph, many fans pointed out this line during the "Belle" promo. Belle talks to a Monsieur Jean, asking him if he lost something again. The man responds, "Well, I believe I have. The problem is, I can't remember what." This line doesn't sound like a "Harry Potter" trademark, but it was said by Neville Longbottom when his grandmother had sent him a Remembrall.
The original scene in the "Belle" soundtrack was supposed to just be a random man asking Belle where she was off to. She then starts talking about her book featuring a beanstalk and an ogre before he calls for Marie with the baguettes. There was no reason to change the lines, unless if Disney just wanted to shake things up a bit and actually make a sneaky nod to Watson's most iconic role, Hermione Granger, who has so much in common with Belle.
Meanwhile, Kohl's has just released a "Beauty and the Beast" fashion line after the "Beauty and the Beast" 2017 movie. The dresses cost around $13 to $40. According to Just Jared, there are two short yellow dresses inspired by Belle's gown. There are also t-shirts of Belle and scenes from the animated film. There are also floral dresses inspired by the roses in the Beast's castle.
