Guillermo del Toro is attached to direct a new take on "Beauty and the Beast," with Emma Watson set to star. It’s a long-rumored collaboration that I've been looking forward to greatly, as del Toro is one of the most visual directors of our time and will also likely be able to coax a very un-Hermione performance out of Watson.

The Hollywood Reporter has the news, adding that Andrew Davies will write the script. But the idea of Watson as Belle in "Beauty and the Beast" got us wondering what other "Harry Potter" stars would fit well in a movie inspired by a fairytale. Surprisingly, there are quite a few. Hollywood, feel free to pilfer our ideas.

Warner Bros has their Oscar campaign for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" under control. A new ad for their For Your Consideration crusade highlights every single tear-jerking moment from the film. Snape's memories? Check. Harry's walk into the forest? Check. The King's Cross Station scene? Absolutely. Only time will tell whether it has what it takes to convince the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to give it a best picture nod, but it certainly has us poised to go out and buy the DVD when it hits stores Friday.

With only a week and a half left until the final installment of "Harry Potter" hits theaters by way of "Deathly Hallows Part 2," it should come as no surprise that all eyes are on the young stars of the blockbuster franchise. Even Larry King's.

The longtime television and radio host has interviewed the cast and crew of the "Harry Potter" series for “CNN Presents: A Larry King Special – Harry Potter: The Final Chapter," which airs on July 10 at 8:00 PM EST, and we've got an exclusive first look at King's interview with leading lady Emma Watson. In the clip, the young actress looks back at her own evolution over the course of the decade-spanning "Potter" films.

"People literally have watched me grow up onscreen, like go from a nine-year-old girl to a 21-year-old... I guess I'm a young woman now," Watson noted about going up in front of the camera.

Emma Watson already spoke in "American Talk" once to hilarious results, so how will she fare when she has to do it again in the upcoming "The Perks of Being a Wallflower"?

"It's good. Having been out in Pittsburgh for four weeks — it's OK," the "Harry Potter" actress tells MTV News of how her American accent's developing for the role. "It's good. I'm hopeful about it." Just don't ask her to start switching accents in the middle of a conversation—she's still practicing, folks!

Check out the rest of today's big Hollywood news past the jump, including some "Breaking Dawn" Comic-Con plans and news on the long-gestating "Star Wars" television project.

Can it really be only 37 days until "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" hits theaters? With the end of "Potter" in sight, it's the perfect time to start looking back at the beginning of the franchise. And, to us, any day is a good day to look at the young stars in their earliest days in this epic franchise.

Fortunately the perfect solution to our nostalgia has been found. Video of the very first "Potter" screen test between Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint has hit the web, and it's everything that we could have hoped it would be, and maybe even a little more.

Let the cuteness ensue.

Fans might have to wait until July 15 for the end of "Harry Potter" to finally come, but for stars Emma Watson and Tom Felton, the end came a long time ago.

MTV News caught up with Felton backstage at the MTV Movie Awards and asked him how he felt about the series coming to an end. "It's been over, like, a year and a half since we shot it," he said. Watson had similar sentiments, saying that it was "very strange" that the final "Potter" press tour would be taking place in little over a month.

When asked if she would shed any more tears over the "Potter" franchise, Watson laughed and said, "Maybe a few. Maybe one or two. Just little ones."
