Very little? She has 8 acting credits since 2011, when the Harry Potter saga finished, and meanwhile she has studied English Literature at Brown and became an UN goodwill ambassador. And she's only 26 yet.

Apparently, people have also forgotten that Emma Watson also has a very on-again, off-again relationship with acting.  Went to Brown and dialed it back, then quit Brown to concentrate on acting (-100 points for Gryffindor for that move, IMO :angry:), and as recently as last year, has suggested that she might at least go dormant for a while after Beauty and the Beast.
Experience bij!

Finished first season of The Expanse. Enjoyed it a lot. Seems the second season premieres on SyFy in February, and God knows when on Netflix. Guess I'll start reading the books instead.

You make it sound as if it was a self-help book.

I wish they had cast a more womanly Belle.  Watson still looks childish.  Oh well.  One of my favorite Disney movies about personal development and relationship building.

The point of the Beauty and the Beast story is that it's about a girl reaching and discovering womanhood. Getting a childish looking actress is fine.

Indeed.
Isn't she meant to be 16 or so.

Eh?  How did Belle change?  She was already an independent, intelligent, dutiful, loving woman from the start.
- reading books
- rejecting macho Gaston
- saving father multiple times
- nursing the Beast back to health

The "person" who changed was the Beast.  Instead of trying to force Belle to love him and break the spell, the Beast first internally changed into a better man that Belle came to naturally love.  He compassionately let Belle leave the castle when she saw her father in danger again, even though it meant that the Beast was letting his last chance of being a man again go out the door.

Belle "falls in love" with an ugly beast hidden in the forest, rejected and feared by the community she belongs. It's the least subtle metaphor for losing one's virginity outside of wedlock I have ever seen.

unless evidence shows belle always had a kink for beastmen, she definitely changed to some extent
