Arriving at the Beast’s castle, we hear her say, “Hello?” as she reaches for the rose.

The teaser was unveiled on Good Morning America.

With a delicate piano version of the film’s iconic music we also hear a snippet of dialogue from Ewan McGregor’s Lumiere the candelabra, who remarks, “Look, it’s a girl!… What if she’s the one?”

Cogsworth, the clock, voiced by Ian McKellen, replies, “Yes, I can see it’s a girl, you fool.”

Ignoring him, Lumiere adds, “What if she is the one?”

The trailer ends with the beloved words, “Be our guest.”

And honestly, we can’t wait!

Clearly the beloved Harry Potter star steps into the inquisitive role of Belle with ease… and she some major support behind her!

Paige O’Hara, who lent her voice to Belle in the 1991 animated film, told Buzzfeed, “If I were producing the film, I would have cast her.”
