The queue closed just a few minutes ago, and word is in that at least 7,000 girls showed up for this morning's open casting call for the part of Lavender Brown in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince here in London. The auditions were held at Earls Court Exhibition Centre, which was packed to the brim with girls in snaking lines that filled the centre, the plaza in front of it, and the adjacent street.
We were at the casting call and spoke with a number of girls who auditioned. Here's what we found out:
After waiting for hours in line outside, the girls were seen by two Harry Potter casting directors in groups of 30. They said their name, age, and an interesting fact about themselves while holding up a large whiteboard with their name written on it. Some groups were dismissed entirely, while one or two girls in other groups were asked to proceed to the next round.
At the next round, the girls read from a scene with Hermione, Madam Pomfrey, and Lavender (presumably after Ron's near-death experience in Slughorn's office) from the Half-Blood Prince script for about a minute. There were no further rounds at today's auditions. Those few girls who will make it to the third round of call backs will find out within the next two to three days. Good luck to all Veritaserum readers who auditioned!
"Fine, I'll try and teach him again!" Snape snarled at Professor Dumbledore.
"Severus, please, for me, don't take all those old wounds that you gained from James out on Harry. Harry is not James - do not blame him for what happened." Dumbledore spoke quietly, but his blue eyes held a warning. Snape sighed in frustration...
