| | |  Luna, Bellatrix, Umbridge, Tonks and Arabella Figg have been cast! (updated)
CBBC Newsround is reporting some of the news we have all been waiting for! The roles of Luna Lovegood, Bellatrix Lestrange and Dolores Umbridge have all been cast!
14-year-old Irish Evanna Lynch has taken the role of Luna Lovegood. She has been chosen over 15,000 other hopefuls.     Helen McCrory, who has been seen in the movie The Count of Monte Cristo, has been cast as Bellatrix Lestrange. 
The role of Dolores Umbridge has been finalized, and it has gone to Imelda Staunton as previously reported. 
Other casting announced by Warner Bros. includes Natalia Tena, who's been in BBC drama Casualty, as Tonks. 
Additionally Kathryn Hunter will play Arabella Figg.
A picture of Kathryn can be seen here.
WB have also announced that filming on 'Order of the Phoenix' will begin next week. UPDATE: Newsround now has a clip of their report which can be viewed here - in it they talk to some of Evanna's school friends and give a brief description of what she's like. Quote:
* She's a HUGE Potter fan
* She's got two cats called Luna and Crookshanks!!
* She persuaded her parents to take her out of hospital for a day so she could queue up for a copy of Order of the Phoenix!
* She has a signed copy of the fifth Potter book
* Her dad flew over to London with her for the Luna casting
Quote:
Everyone at Evanna's school was excited for her. Tara Gufferty, head girl said: "Obviously the school is on an absolute high since this morning when we all found out.
"It's a fantastic acheivement for Evanna. It's every girl's dream to be working with stars like Daniel Radcliffe."

Let me compose myself first... Finally we have a Luna! But no pics? I wonder if she was picked from the auditions that were held this month, or if she was picked from the school castings...

 = bellatrix
I think she'll fit the role beautifully. Omg, very curious bout this movie, they seem to keep themselves quiet close to the book this time, if I see all the characters they're going to use.
Very happy,
Love,
Melan

Oh wow, then that probably means the casting people were not satisfied when they supposedly said that the role was down to the 5 girls back in December (I think). I did a Yahoo search for Evanna Lynch and came up dry, but there is something that mentioned her name in an Irish daily...something about her queuing up to get her HP book! I wonder if that's the same girl?
Can't wait for the pictures!

If you want to see a candid photo of the actress playing Luna (it's a few years old), but it is allegedly here: http://www.unison.ie/drogheda_indepe...&ca=54&photo=7
My opinion: Thankfully they didn't make Emmamione Luna by making her a blonde bombshell. She's got the perfect 'mystified' look of Luna in her eyes.

Evanna is mentioned twice in the daily that you could check from LupinJr's link. here's another link mentioning her name. http://www.unison.ie/drogheda_indepe...&issue_id=9452 | |

Yes, apparently she got a Potter book while in hospital. So we know we've got an actress who is a fan of the series, that's a good thing.

Seems like the casting of Luna has been fast. Or maybe I just caught on with the news just now. 
Anyways, good for them for landing those roles! Can't wait to see OotP!
Kathryn Hunter might be the actress playing Tonks. *checks imdb* She was in a movie with Timothy Spall (Wormtail in PoA).
