| | |  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.

Cool! I hope they pick the right person!! Why are people coming in from America when the'll just eb turned down because of where they live? Maybe because they want to be an extra

I don't care where the person comes from as long as she's the right Luna.

From America?  :rofl:
Some people with English Accents live in America! They may have been born in the UK and then moved! I did!

I was reading the reports on Newsround online, and the casting sounded like it was really chaotic, but exciting. I CANNOT absolutely wait to know who's going to play Luna. I love all her quirks and I feel like she's going to be in the series all the way through.
I think the girl in the second pic posted by Marcella_Riddle in another Luna news thread would make an okay Luna. I wonder if they'll announce the lucky girl within 2 weeks? Or before the end of the month?
