Two things we know to be universal truths: 1) Hermione Granger is the baddest witch in the world, and 2) Belle from Beauty and the Beast is one of the best Disney princess ever created. Put them together with a real-life feminist hero we all know and love, and we get pure magic. Emma Watson will star in the upcoming live-action adaptation of Disney's Beauty and the Beast, and in our minds, there is absolutely no one else who could do the role justice the way that we know Watson will. Just think about it; Hermione Granger is a strong, book-loving woman who will stop at nothing to protect her close friends and family. Sound familiar? Belle is also known for her familial loyalty, wits, and unflinching bravery. We've come up with some amazing aspects of both Belle and Hermione that prove that the two women are supersimilar and equally awesome.
