| | | Lizo's report from the Luna casting call
Lizo, from CBBC Newsround, has posted an online report about the Luna Lovegood casting call that happened on Saturday. He reveals details about the day and shares his experience. Quote:
We chatted to as many girls in the queue as possible. They were there from across the UK. As well as America!
Despite all we'd said about girls having to be from the UK and Ireland, I still met one woman who'd flown in from Texas in America with her grand daughter.
Quote:
Parents should naturally get a mention. Many of them cheerfully admitted that all they'd heard since Tuesday was Luna this, Luna that, Luna everything!
And daughters who on a weekend couldn't normally be coaxed out of bed before midday, were begging to be driven down to London at 4am from far flung parts of the country.
And they chatted to other parents in line, swapping stories of the dire retribution their daughters had promised if they weren't allowed to go to the casting.
Quote:
And a few were all grins, getting through the casting and even being filmed reading a scene between Luna and Harry.

Flying in was just plain silly. Quote:

Could that be the scene toward the end of OotP? Or the misteltoe part? Hmmm. Intriguing.

__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. |
