Emma Watson to star in Ballet Shoes (UPDATED)

Emma Watson, who plays Hermione Granger in the Potter films, is going to play an orphan in the BBC production of Ballet Shoes, an adaptation of Noel Streatfield's book.

Victoria Wood, Marc Warren, and fellow Harry Potter film actor Richard Griffiths (Uncle Vernon) will be amongst her fellow cast-mates in the 90 minute T.V. drama. The show is said to be "the centrepiece of the Beeb's Christmas line-up".

Quote:

Ballet Shoes follows the tale of three orphaned sisters who are adopted by an eccentric explorer and raised by his niece.

A TV source said: "Emma was practically born for this role."

Filming is said to start sometime this month.

Good luck on your first Television role, Emma!

UPDATE: More information on the plot can be read below, thanks to the BBC Press Office:

Quote:

Set in Thirties London, Ballet Shoes tells the exhilarating tale of orphans Pauline, Petrova and Posy Fossil, who are adopted by an eccentric explorer, Gum, and raised as sisters by his selfless niece.

The timeless and uplifting story revolves around each girl's struggle to fulfil her dreams: Pauline longs to be an actress, Petrova yearns to be an aviator, and Posy seems born to be a ballerina.

But when Gum disappears, the money runs out – and the girls have a fight on their hands. Their struggle to balance personal ambition with the need to survive physically, emotionally, and financially, proves moving and comic by turns.

Ballet Shoes, first published in September 1936, was an immediate bestseller, and has never been out of print.

Seeing as Harry Potter employs a good chunk of the British acting industry, it's kind of hard to avoid.

Ah cool good to see her doing something differnt as Rupert and dan have and i was beginning to worry that she would just disappear after HP lol

Awesome!

I really thought Dan, Emma, and Rupert's careers would be over after HP because no one would be able to think of them as anybody else, but it's definately become the opposite, and I'm glad that I was wrong!

Good for Emma! I'm glad she's looking for films that she believes in...hopefully we won't see her in some stupid girly teen movie or anything like that. I'm very excited for her.

hhhmmmm. It will be weird seeing emma not in Hp movies.Hey, in the last Hp movie Emma will be 20 years old! It's a tiny bit older than she is supposed to be.... I wonder how that will effect the last movie.

Yeah, like Rupert and Julie Walters in Driving Lessons... Dan and Richard Griffiths... and now Emma and Richard Griffiths... huh, didn't really notice that :gasp:
So is it premiering on T.V or is it going to ever be an actual movie for DVD and video or something? (because I don't think I get BBC since I'm not in England... or in Great Britain in general).

But that's awesome that she's branching off and out of Harry Potter.

Yeah, and Tom Felton was turning 20 when OotP came out, and for the next movie probably 21 and 22 by the time the last movie comes out. They make things work so they look a bit more like their character's age.
No one is ever their characters actual age in a movie, all of them never were to begin with, and it will end that way. They made them look younger and older before, so no worries about the last movie :D
