Following in the footsteps of Emma Watson, who first played Hermione in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone when she was just 11, the British actress is believed to be between nine and 11 years old. 

But she’s already featured both on television and in theatre after studying at some of the country’s most well respected acting schools. 

Bella began began honing her skills at Aldance, a studio in Bracknell offering dancing classes for children from 18 months through to adults. 

She too trained at the prestigious British Theatre Academy and the Guildford School of Acting, which has produced stars such as Kobna Holdbrook-Smith and Chris Geere.

She landed her first role in 2023 when she was cast as star character Matilda in the West End production Matilda The Musical. 

Making her West End debut, Bella, who was the production’s youngest cast member, performed in the show for around a six month period beginning in September 2023 and even featured on BBC’s The One Show for World Book Day as Matilda. 

After impressing on stage, Arabella bagged the part of Control in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 2024 London revival of Starlight Express. 

Away from the spotlight, she enjoys ‘playing hockey for her local club, skiing and horse riding. She loves competing in swimming galas and triathlons and she also plays the clarinet.’

Hermione however will undoubtedly be Bella’s biggest part yet and following in the footsteps of Emma Watson, she certainly has big boots to fill.
