It stands out that the world of magic and its hurdles continue to follow Emma Watson's trail. Reports of the former "Harry Potter" star dealing with taking the main role for "Beauty and the Beast" and with the "Stockholm Syndrome."
An ardent feminist, the 26-year-old actress wrestled with the idea that she'd be portraying a victim in Disney's live-action musical, "Beauty and the Beast," and she ardently said, "It's something I really grappled with at the beginning: the Stockholm-syndrome question. That's where a prisoner will take on the characteristics of and fall in love with the captor."
Watson who made several changes to her character with director Bill Condon in the pre-production phase hopes fans will respond to her take on the beloved princess, reports Xfinity. Moreover, in regards to the characters of "Beauty and the Beast," Emma and Belle has a lot of similarities.
E News further mentioned that it's the kind of careful consideration that made Watson a shoo-in for the titular role. According to Bill Condon, the director of the movie, "With actors who get to choose their roles, you look at their résumés and you start to see a kind of autobiography emerge. From what I'd seen of Emma, she seemed to be the person, both on screen and off, who best reflected the qualities that Belle embodied."
For the fans and followers of the "Harry Potter" star, "Beauty and the Beast" is slated to hit the box office this coming March 17, 2017. As for the presumption that the former co-star Daniel Radcliffe is worried over her, there are no details supporting these notions and it should be taken with a grain of salt in mind.
