 Actress Emma Watson who plays Hermione Granger in the highly successful Harry Potter films has been cast in a starring role for a new movie, Ballet Shoes. Watson will play the part of Pauline, the eldest of three orphaned sisters who begin to discover their special talents when they arrive at the Children's Academy of Dancing and Stage Training.
Filming for Ballet Shoes, a feature-length film of the classic novel by Noel Streatfeild, begins this month and is due to be screened on BBC One in late December.
Ballet Shoes is set in 1930s London and tells the exhilarating tale of orphans who are adopted by an eccentric explorer and raised as sisters by his niece. The timeless story revolves around each girl's struggle to fulfil her dreams: Pauline longs to be an actress, Petrova yearns to be an aviator, and Posy seems born to be a ballerina. Ballet Shoes, first published in September 1936, was an immediate bestseller, and has never been out of print since!
