Harry Potter Movie
Diane and I went out to see the late showing of the new Harry Potter movie Friday night. We had to figure out where the theater was while we were cutting the show time closely. I sent Diane ahead while I found a parking space, but all turned out well and I made it in in time to see the start of the film. So ads in movie houses reward procrastination.
And the film itself made a nice bit of entertainment. It seems that the direction in this outing has gone in the direction of more straightforward story-telling and less gratuitous eye-candy. Oh, sure, there is eye-candy, but it seems to me that it is deployed more strategically in service of the story in this film than in some of the previous outings. Harry Potter movies are not standalone entertainment, though; you really need to have read the book recently. It essentially is a sequence of animated illustrations to accompany the reader’s experience. Otherwise, the plot would be exceedingly difficult to discern from the few clues given. This is, I think, necessary in a feature-length film. In order to present Rowling’s story in sufficient detail for those unfamiliar with the particular book would require treatment at the length of a mini-series instead.
One nice thing was that Diane and I were able to stay snuggled next to each other through the whole movie. I don’t think that I’ve been to a theater in the past 22 years where I haven’t had to excuse myself for a personal intermission/trip to the men’s room, so this is a welcome change. Ulcerative colitis is quite disruptive of some of the most mundane social rituals. My regards to my surgeon.

I think Charlize Theron is too old and too pretty to play Merope – I thought she was 14, 15, 16? And not so pretty, remember she couldn’t ‘woo’ Tom Riddle. I think they need someone really unique to play her, and I think she needs to be unknown so that the power of the scene will come across without poeple being like ‘Oh yeah, look at her, she was good in…’ (hint hint open casting call PLEASE)
What about Romilda Vane? I really hope she’s not cut from the film as although I guess from what we know she’s not exactly essential to the plot she does add a bit of humour and I can’t see how else they would portray the poisoning of Ron well. (that sentence DOES make sense, I promise). I think that if they do include her in HBP they should open cast for her too, although I’m probably biased wink.gif
Despite of my dreams I am, of course, open to suggestions of people to play this part…

are they even having auditions for romilda vane
on 26 Jun 2007 at 12:30 pm 19.MaryM said …
Hi guys, I’m sorry to burst your bubble but there ARE NO Romilda Vane auditions. She’s too small a part to have a huge audition for her, she may not even BE in the film. I’m checked it out and Warner Bros has made it clear that they only want Lavendar Brown and young Tom Riddle. The auditions for those are on July 1st [check google for it] oh, you have to be either British or Irish to enter and you have to be aged between 15-18.You have to bring your passport along for proof of age and nationality. As for Romilda, I;m sorry but I think they are only going through agents.They may even get a daughter of a producer or something to do it-that’s what they did for Pansy Parkinson. And you have to remember that this is a long film and they can’t waste time on Romilda or that would mean they would have to cut out other important scenes.I know how it feels guys, I really want to be Romilda too but that’s Showbiz for you!
on 29 Jun 2007 at 9:18 am 20.Sam&&Jen said …
Hey guys, we have been getting really excited about the Lavender Brown auditions, but we found out that shes already been cast by a model from London called Jennifer Smith.
I mean, everyone will turn up and they’ll be like ‘sorry already been cast’
we wish we knew where to go to be an extra.
help?
please?

Jennifer Smith did play Lavender-yes-but she is beiong recast. Warner Bros put up applications on the web-it’s in the newpapers-on the new websites- Lavender IS being recast. No offenc, but I think it’s because they think that Jennifer isn’t pretty enough. Check out the picture on Wikipedia and she isn’t much like the Lavender I imgined. So, go along to the auditions and try your luck!

on 05 Jul 2007 at 4:36 pm 27.Liesl said …
Hello-I have the answer to ALL your problems!
1-Harry Potter auditions are now over for the part of Lavender Brown and the studios DO NOT want letter into them telling them stories of how you missed the audition and you really want the part because they are NOT interested.
2-You CANNONT audition to an extra! You have to join the agency that supplies extras for the films and you have to pay for that and I think it’s something like Springboard-google it. The studios DO NOT want letters into them asking to be an extra because they DON’T DEAL with extras.
3-Tom Riddle auditions are on July 7th in the same place and they are looking forward to seeing agood turn out.
4-Romilda Vane is an extreamly small part and the studios have a few people in mind and they DO NOT want letters anymore accept from agents or Drama Schools. [If you go to a drama school you can ask them to repersent you as an agent and they can send a letter with your recommendations.]
5- The Romilda Vane auditions are in August.
6- There are NO OTHER parts needed for girls [for boys- Cormac McLaggan is still needed.] So PLEASE don’t send long letters to the studios begging to an extra or any other part because they aren’t interested.
I know this because I have a lot of contacts in the studios and I am trying to spread the word. [I do not work for the stuidos or have anything to do with them but I just have information.]
Thank you.

I have an idea about how they will cut Romilda out of the movie and i think its likely that they will cut her out using this way. Im not gonna post it in case someone from the movie sees it and then uses it coz im a massive HP fan and i really wanna be romilda. I could play her really well and im pretty sure i know what shes like as a person and how 2 portray that on screen. Please any info on auditoins for her or any other girls parts in the movie post it on here!!!

Hello-that rumour about Pansy being recast isn’t ture because I’ve seen an interview with Genievive Gaunt and she says that she really wants to keep playing Pansy and unless she leaves they won’t recast because she’s actually perfect for the role.
People, people-stop saying ‘I want so badly to be in a HP movie’ because honestly-the people who do get through don’t get to do very much. Luna only had about 6 lines to say and Cho had about 4 [but she did kiss Daniel though]. Ron said about 7 lines as well and basically there’s so many characters in the film that they don’t get nearly enough lines to say.
And why on earth do you want to be cooped up in a hot and dark set for four hours at a time and then sometimes have to go at night and do the same scene over and over again. Daniel Radcliff even said he really wants to finish Harry Potter quickly because he doesn’t like it that much anymore and guys it’s BORING.
If you really want to be in the film become an extra. That’s all you can do.
on 18 Jul 2007 at 8:33 pm 35.Austringer said …
Daniel ought to be having the time of his life, literally. The history of acting shows that there are loads of examples of actors who, having landed an incredibly popular role, decided that it was their own personality, charisma, whatever, that brought the audiences in. They become jaded with playing the role, decide they need to “grow”, to avoid being “typecast”, etc. Many who either abandon a character in mid-series or who expect that their services will continue to be in unabated demand post-series come to a realization that, no, the public was not after all so interested in their person, but rather in the character. Perhaps this is not one of those cases, and Daniel will proceed to tear up screens as a leading man for decades to come. For every Denzel Washington who comes along, though, there are probably dozens of actors who had one great gig and were unable to parlay that into anything of particular note thereafter.
The point about acting being a demanding profession with lots of dull moments is well taken, though. The glamorous aspects are well-separated from the day-to-day realities of film production.

i av just watched an interview with daniel and he says he enjoys being in harry potter and is glad that he was able to sign up to finish them off. Also he says he will be sad when it is finished as he has had fum making the films.
on 23 Jul 2007 at 1:10 pm 39.Austringer said …
I’m glad to hear that the other report of Daniel being in malaise about the role apparently was mistaken. I think that good scripts for the final two films should give him plenty of scope to stretch as an actor; it would be a shame if he were sleepwalking through them.
I’m looking forward especially to the final film. I think that Rowling came through with a fitting finale to the book series, and there is great potential there for the film adaptation.

Yet, another girl badly wanting to play Romilda Vane. I’ve been keeping close watch on the net for nearly two months now for any information on Romilda Vane and there seem to be so many different opinions. Some people think they wont be casting her, some people think she’ll be cut out, while others (like me) are still hoping the studio will do an open casting call.
Here’s the information I have:
1) Romilda Vane auditions will most likely be in August and in London or Cambridge.
2) They will most probably be similar to the Luna/Riddle/Lavender auditions in protocol etc.
3) If they don’t have auditions, but keep her in the film, they will most likely use agents or drama schools to find someone to play the part.
4) Vane is quite a small part but she is important to the plot in HBP and is an entertaining character a lot of fans will miss, but we all have to accept the fact that she might just disappear.
If I find out any more information (I hope she has a return in DH, but I haven’t finished reading, so I don’t know), I will let you know.
Good luck to everyone who auditions (if the time happens), and I hope they don’t cut her out and do have auditions. I WILL BE THERE IF THEY DO. Good luck and don’t get too down-heartened. Acting is a tough business, and I personally don’t want to do it as a career. Just enjoy the books and films because they are coming to an end. I will greatly miss Harry Potter and the whole wizarding world.
Good luck.

I can give you the address if you want?

OK, I have a brief post on the final Harry Potter book. It could have been briefer, “I liked it.” might have done fine.
Also, because of some of the other things I discuss on this weblog, I do manual approval of comments. That could mean that you might enter a comment and not see it show up until the next day, unless I go out of town, in which case it might be even longer. I usually do check for new comments several times daily, but I cannot guarantee immediate turn-around on that. There is no need to enter the same comment multiple times; I will eventually see it and, unless it is way out of line, post it.
Please do be careful releasing personal information in public places, like this thread. I know that various of you are trying to network together for more information, but as as Hagrid warns Harry in the first movie, not all wizards (read: people) are nice. If you have already entered personal information here and would like it removed, just let me know.
Also, I live in the USA, and various laws here mean that officially those using the comment system must be 13 years of age or older. That’s probably not an issue for most of you, but there could be some younger people reading here who are also interested in the topic of Harry Potter film auditions. If you are less than 13 years of age and want to comment, you need to have a parent or guardian approve your comment and be the person to actually hit the “Submit Comment” button. I’m not saying that I distrust you, just that these are the rules I must comply with, and I will comply with them. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
on 29 Jul 2007 at 6:06 pm 52.Austringer said …
I think Rowling is perfectly correct with wanting to keep the cast as British as possible. The Harry Potter series is based upon the British school system, and I think that the movies are better for having the actors actually know something about that system, or perhaps even having experience of it.
I know that it is easy for me to say… there were no “speaking” parts in the series calling for a balding middle-aged American Muggle, after all, so I’m not giving up any hopes by saying so.

From what I’ve heard, Elijah Wood got the part of Frodo in “The Lord of the Rings” in part because of sending a video showing him playing Frodo, I assume from some dialog taken directly from the books or screenplay. Of course, Wood already had a Hollywood resume’, so that would be different from most hopefuls. But it seems to me that the idea is solid, that the effort you put into seeking a part is likely to distinguish you from the mass of people also seeking it. Then again, because there are so many people going for it, there is also likely a fine line between being seen as “enthusiastic” and “creepy”. Somehow, it seems to me (a complete outsider with no connection to film-making other than that my cousin-in-law is a stunt coordinator; take everything I say on this topic with extremely large doses of salt) that a politely-presented *short* video that is simply close to what would be seen in a couple of minutes of audition (no “I need this part desperately” pitch, please) would not harm your chances, and might improve them. That said, the previous commentary has indicated all sorts of things that say that the character you are after either will be written out of the script or be cast without a public call for auditions. Don’t set yourself up for disappointment, but, as the joke goes, buying a lottery ticket is a necessity if you expect to have a chance to win a lottery.

alice- i sent my letter to Twickenham Film Studios, and i addressed it to Fiona Weir. Someone I know sent it to her there, and they got a reply. I think it is the right place, but there could be more than one! I didn’t send a video, I think if they like the photo and what you’ve written they’ll call you in too see what your acting is like! What part are you asking for, or did you just ask for any?
Good luck!!

on 06 Aug 2007 at 2:07 pm 67.Callum McCorkell said …
ta but wat do a write 2 her? and wen do they film! heeeeellllllp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
on 09 Aug 2007 at 2:25 pm 68.Rachel.. said …
callam-just write telling that you would love a part, and that you can act, and maybe what part you were thinking of. Give her ur details eg: address, age, and also send a photo of urself. i wouldn’t beg for a part, as that might put her off, get writing thou, i think filming starts in september!
on 10 Aug 2007 at 3:47 am 69.Rachel.. said …
HELP alice, i’ve just found another address u can send ur letter to, its another studio in watford, i know that they film there! should i send the same letter to that address?! or would that seem weird! what do i do?!?!
on 12 Aug 2007 at 5:19 am 70.Alice said …
hi ppl soz bn away lol
ok 1st callam- they start filmin in september so u need to hurry up! just give her ur details and then put either a part u can think of tht u would fit or ask if there any parts tht r needed and does she think u would be suitable for any of them. also put anythin u think would help impress her eg experience like drama clubs and if ur good at certain aspects of drama like learnin lines
rachel- i put if this is not the right address plz pass it on to the rite 1!! i think u should be ok writin to the twickenham 1 but if ur worried about it then write another 1 to the other address u found was it leavesden? it might be worth a shot coz i was gonna write 2 leavesden til u sed tht some1 got a reply from this 1! what did it say in the reply tht the person u no got? in the end i jus put fiona weir lol n ur probs rite about the grammar but i still wanted 2 make a good impression!!
i think tht its the right thing to do by sendin a letter in as it proves ur really eager to be in the films and ur not lazy by jus postin stuff on sites and hopin tht some1 will tell u where the auditions r!! i think i mite hav left it 2 l8 as i think the romilda vane audtions r in august! even if i dont get anythin this time ill try for the last 1 as i could be some1 near the end of tht but i wont say who in case u havnt read it! hope all of this helped even if it is a bit long! good luck agen every1 and remember 2 post on this wen u get a reply!

on 14 Aug 2007 at 6:41 am 78.Maid Maria1 said …
Yes, I’m back. I sent a letter to Fiona Weir myself yesterday with pictures and all the necessary. I’m doubtful I’ll even get a reply and I’m pretty sure Romilda’s been cut from the script, which is really unfortunate. Anyway, I could be wrong, and I’m hoping I am. I am hoping that I get a part as an extra or something at least even if they aren’t looking for a Romilda. Oh well, it’s very disappointing. But I say don’t loose hope until the very end, we’re all still in with a chance. However, I’m preparing for the worst, I don’t want to set myself up for a big dsiappointment. At least my dad still has faith in me that I’ll get the part. Oh well.

yh u cant giv up hope but i think weve all accepted the fact tht it is vry unlikely well get parts maid maria1 i dont wanna be the one to dampen ur spirit but i doubt ud get cast as an extra by sendin a letter i wish it werent so but they go to agencies for extras as its not vry important what they look like and how good they r at actin apparently they aply to every letter so ull jus hav 2 sit by the letter box for the remainder of holidays waitin lol soz if this is a bit of a dampener on ur spirit but i figure its best to know as many facts about it good luck and wen u get a reply post it on here as were all desperate 2 know what it says (well i am at least!)
on 14 Aug 2007 at 12:57 pm 81.Dani said …
I love ur spirit guys!!! Keep hopin an stay positive lol
on 14 Aug 2007 at 1:00 pm 82.Rachel.. said …
yer its not good to get ur hopes up, but there is still a chance, also, if we dont suceed this time, we could always try for the open auditions for the next film! im off on holiday tomorrow, so i will try not to think about it oo much, but it would be a nice surprise to recieve a letter when i get back! and if i do, i’ll post it on here!
good luck again!

on 28 Aug 2007 at 4:31 am 98.Alice said …
i suppose its better if filmin has bn put back 2 october coz it gives u more time 2 get a reply b4 they start filmin n then u no u wont hav a chance (wen they start filmin) and yh like rachel says we all wanna act and can i jus say if u really r tht desperate 2 act there r more movies than harry potter!
on 29 Aug 2007 at 3:10 am 99.Dream_Angel said …
Alice is quite right, there r MUCH more movies than Harry Potter! If u r really talanted, It’s a sin that ur talents are being wasted by waiting for the new parts in the HP movie..:)
on 29 Aug 2007 at 3:37 am 100.Rachel.. said …
wise words alice! but even so, harry potter would be my first choice. i dont recon there will be any more open auditions for this film, because its too late. i think sending a letter in is the only way, for this film. still good luck to everyone, and dont give up.

where are the auditions for romilda vane i need to know immedietly cause i need to fly to the u.k cause im st australia right now. i look just like romilda and am a good actress some one discover me quick lol jkz but iv been looking for ages
on 17 Sep 2007 at 10:39 am 119.Dream_Angel said …
Hey guys, do u really think that they STILL need some1 for Romilda Vane part? I don’t think so…
Alice, I hope u’re right…We have to keep our hope alive ;)
Rachel, i do have some pictures of new actors. Do u want me to send them to u?
Ikram, do u have an agent?
on 18 Sep 2007 at 10:23 am 120.Maid Maria1 said …
So, filming has begun. I’ve more or less gotten round to the idea Romilda will be cut out or something. Ah well, HBP should still be great! I can’t wait! What about you guys?
on 18 Sep 2007 at 1:16 pm 121.Alice said …
Yep Im keepin my dreams alive…but not for Romilda lol. I think shes been cut and i think theyve started filming now :( I think shes been cut as shes not essential to the plot. i spose they see it as either cuttin Romilda or cutting part of the memories wth harry and dumbledore (possibly its jus an idea lol!) Good Luck!!
on 19 Sep 2007 at 12:52 am 122.Rose said …
hi everyone! does anyone knows: DO we need an agent?
and, is it real that the cast has to be british?
on 19 Sep 2007 at 9:10 am 123.Alice said …
yep it is real tht the cast has 2 b british as jk has said tht dozens of times! and wat do u mean do we need an agent? wat country r u from aswell, jus out of interest?
maid maria-yh i cant w8 2 c the film either!! now im keepin my fingers crossed tht ill be in hp7 lol!
on 19 Sep 2007 at 11:59 am 124.Ellie said …
Yeh I Think Its Safe To Say We’re Not Gonna Get Any Major Part Now,
I Mean, I Can Still Dream (Which I Do :])
But I Doubt Romilda Vane Will Be Anything More Than An Extra If That.!
I’d Even Be Happy Being An Extra. But I Dont Think You Get Chosen Like That, Or Do You?
Hmm,
Anyway Whatever Happens Atleast We Can Still Watch The Film Which Is Bound To Be Good.
Be Weird Though Coz We’ll Be Like…
‘I TRIED TO BE HER’
Lol, Anywayy, I Might Get An Agent For Times Like This In Future.

iv been chatting to evanna lynch and she has said they already have a girl to play romilda vane. but.. she is a realy bad actor so there looking for someone else..mainly brown hair and brown eyes. if you are interested in being her, you CANT audition, you have to either ring, send a video or write a letter to leavesden saying who you are, why you want the part, how you think you will be good at it and your your address. plus.. you HAVE to have an agent.
hope it helps

Hello all,
I’m just want to know how can you become an extra in Harry Potter and the half blood, and i do mean an extra not a main character or anything, i’m just curious on how to become one, cause I really really want to be an extra in the next harry potter film!
on 15 Nov 2007 at 10:12 am 141.Alice said …
All extras have been cast and so has Lavender. She is called Jessie Cave. Here is a link to the Newsround website. http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_7090000/newsid_7093300/7093314.stm
She is 20 and not from the opens she is with A+J ( a big agency if you didn’t know )(I think!).

Hey, everyone! I have been off for a long time, sorry bout this…Alice, i know that J.K. said that the cast has to be British, but call to mind Evanna Lynch, she is not British, she is Irish.

Hi Dream Angel

Yes Im from the UK
Cant really remember what I wrote. Just expereience and all that. Looks etc

Hey guys,
I was hoping to get an extras part in Half Blood Prince but it was too late to send a letter to the casting offices.
Sorry that none of you guys got any parts but there is always Deathly Hallows to go for.
Does anyone know when would be a sutible time to send the letter to the casting offices for an extras part in Deathly Hallows? I am 14 years old now but will be 15 when the filming will probably start. Would there be any chance of getting an extras role if i am 15.
Any info on this would be much appreciated.
BTW… I had two different addreses to send the letter to. Does anyone know which one is correct?
I had this one:
Casting Office
Leavesden Studios
PO Box 322
Watford
Hertfordshire
WD25 7XJ
And this one:
Fiona Weir
Twickenham Film Studios
St Margarets
Twickenham
TW1 2AW
England
Any information on which one i should send the letter to would be good.
Is anyone else gonna ‘audition’ for an role or an extras part in Deathly Hallows?
Also, I am not living in England at the moment but was born there. I am on an exchange and am in Australia at the moment. I am going back to London in late September.
Do you know when filming would start for Deathly Hallows?
So…If anyone could help with anything that i have asked that would be great.
Thanks

hey jess,
i sent my letter to fiona weir at Twickenham studios, and got a reply, so i think that is the right address.
I dont think filming will stat for a while, as they just started fiming HBP in october. I am also not sure to whether they go to agents for the extra’s, but if anyone has any information on that i would love to know!! I would definatly audition for the extra’s! so a date would be great!!!
good luck, hope your exchange in australia went well!

Hey Jess, i think there’s no new roles in Deathly Hallows film, only extra.
Yeah, there’s a chance of getting an extras role if u are 15.
And filming for Deathly Hallows will start next February. Good luck xx :)

oh sorry, i thought you meant next month! lol! i just wrote to her saying my drama qualifications, which part(s) i’d like to play and if there were any extra parts i could take. unfortunatly, all parts were already taken, so i would get your letter in sooner rather than later!

to be honest i think that the only way you can be an extra is if you’re with an extra agencey.or if you go to school near where some hp scenes are being filmed because they have auditioned students in a school near Glouscester to be extras in half blood prince while they are shooting in the cathedral in Gloucester!i highly doubt that you would have any luck by writing to be an extra but if u want to, i think you should send it to the address posted by dream-angel above with clear, good quality headshots.the casting process wont start for a good while but maybe if you wrote to fiona weir now asking for advice on how to become an extra on the set you could start working on it.i think you should sign up with an extras agencey online, for which you dont need any experience.
hope this helps and good luck!

well, since being in an agency obviously is the way to an acting career, maybe an online agency for e.g extras would be a great place to start. so, anyone know any good extra online agencies? i used to know this really good genuine one called ‘extras’ (haha i know.) but now you have to pay for it, since it got more publicity. but hey its worth a try. anyone know any others?

I do know that the are open casting auditions between February and March 2009, i think, so you dont need experience to work on the set. You have to be English. Also if you are looking for information go to http://www.dogpile.co.uk or alltheweb.com, never use Google as it has personal and publican restrictions. Hoped I helped!!!

how did you find out about the dates?
and do you know if it’s just for extras, or are there other parts?
