EMMA WATSON AND DANIEL RADCLIFFE BOTH TO STAR IN NEW BOOK-TO-FILM ADAPTATIONS OF CINDERELLA AND FRANKENSTEIN

NOT THE SAME MOVIE... 'CINDERSTEIN' WOULD BE WEIRD.

Seeing as they’ve graduated Hogwarts now and gone back to lives filled with general Muggle-ness, Emma Watson and Danielle Radcliffe are obviously missing being real life versions of book characters, as they’ve both signed up for new ‘book on the screen’ movie adaptations.

Hermione will be transforming into fairytale princess Cinderella, and ‘Arry Potter will be entering the creepy world of Frankenstein.

It’s all very exciting.

Emma is lined up for the starring role in Kenneth Branagh’s version of Cinderella, which is set to be a highly visual reworking of the fairytale. Think Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland, or the new Oz The Great and Powerful flick. Cate Blanchett has already been cast as the evil stepmum, so it sounds like it should be rather brill.

Getcha glass slipper out for the lads.

Dan Rad will turn from fit Voldy-fighting super wizard to hideous hunchback, for his part in the new Frankenstein film, as he takes on the role of Igor, the lab assistant to Dr Franky.

According to The Wrap, Dan’s character will be "pathologically dirty and dressed in old clown's clothing". Which sounds quite frankly like some kind of TERRIFYING NIGHTMARE but also AWESOME.
