We can’t wait for Disney’s Beauty and the Beast to come out — only a few more weeks! And we just learned there may be a sneaky Harry Potter reference in this Beauty and the Beast clip, New Musical Express reported. Of course, we’ve been obsessed with the film. For instance, each time a new Beauty and the Beast trailer or clip comes out, we wonder: Is it March 17th yet?!

As you know, there have been a few Beauty and the Beast films. Rn, we’re talking about the upcoming live action one starring Emma Watson and Dan Stevens, among others. Now, some people think there may be a reference to a moment from one of the Harry Potter films.

We don’t want to give it away, so watch the clip for yourself to see if you can spot it.

Did you see it?!

Spoiler alert: Yes, some people think that when Belle asks Monsieur Jean if he’s “lost something again” — ding, ding, ding — it’s a reference from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, reported Seventeen. In the Beauty and the Beast clip, Jean then replies, “Well, I believe I have. Problem is, I can’t remember what.” Sound familiar?

A few days ago, people on Reddit noticed. They started hypothesizing about the Harry Potter/Beauty and the Beast connection, too. Of course, you can decide for yourself. In any case, we still ~can’t wait~ for March 17th!
