Emma Watson movies have a certain magic. Hermione Granger was the smartest of all the witches at Hogwarts. Now the Harry Potter star Emma Watson is reportedly being netted to play the lead in the upcoming live-action feature film The Little Mermaid.

Emma Watson body measurements don't include her fin and tails. She's leaving that to the stylists. Emma Watson responded to rumors that she is set to star in the upcoming adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's 'The Little Mermaid.' The new take on the old tail will be directed by Sofia Coppola.

Emma has said she would definitely consider the role. Watson is reportedly Coppola's first choice for the role of Ariel.

A source told the media that ''Sofia wants Emma, and the pair have such respect for each other, it would be very unsurprising if they carry on without each other.''

The last time the  "Harry Potter" star worked with Coppola was on the hit film "The Bling Ring" last year. No one has talked to Emma about the role yet, but she says she would love working with the 'Lost in Translation' film-maker again.

But Emma Watson said ''I mean I'd have to read it first ... I love Sofia so much.''

Once new broke on Deadline that Sofia Coppola had signed to direct "The Little Mermaid," media outlets started to speculate that Emma Watson would be the perfect Ariel.

Rumors that Emma Watson is being cast in a new live-action remake of The Little Mermaid could be a hoax, but Sofia Coppola's new "Little Mermaid" has already costumed herself for the part.

Emma said "I actually dressed up as Ariel for my fifth birthday."

Emma Watson, who can be seen on screen now alongside Russell Crowe in the biblical movie "Noah" is already a fan.

Sofia Coppola has been looking at adapting Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale since "The Bling Ring" wrapped. In the original 1837 story the mermaid commits suicide after the prince marries another woman. Disney's 1989 cartoon version was not quite so dark.
