Why would they want American girls? Hogwarts and the books are based in ENGLAND! They need girls with real English accents!

whoever got the part has probably got their hands full because
Luna is a little weird

yea luna's great can't wait to see who they chose, hope its just like i imagined, otherwise ill be dissappointed

Yea..about time..i really wanna noe whos it!!..hehe..

wow!! she's so lucky

Hmmm.....well thats...nice. I really wish I could have auditioned for Luna Lovegood. She is my favourite. I relate to her on so many levels. I hope the girl they get though is good. I have incredibly high expectations and am going to be very brutal as I always am with the movies. Not only am I judging the accuracy of the character according to the books but the acting and also this is my favourite character. She is one lucky girl, whoever she may be. I think I would have done really well as Luna...despite the lack of blonde hair....thats what wigs are for!
Much love!

Some Americans can do english accents. I find them very easy but I have an efinity for accents. I do lots. I think they should open up auditions to the states because it would be fair to everyone. I'm sure Im not the only one who would be happy about that.


Hmmmm....I dont know. I think it all depends on the actor.

I agree to a point. For me I see Luna as an easy role. But I relate to her on such a high level so....for someelse it might be tough. I do love her though and hope that it works well. I havent always been happy with the casting descisions. (ie: Michael whatever his name is the new Dumbledore or Cho...meh..there are others but some people might just kill me. LOL) Well I am off to bed. Be back later. Much love!

Well, she is sort of an easy and a hard role to. The way Rowling described her, well, your going to need someone who is such a natural weirdo. Although, I'm sure if she [Rowling] was to check this site, I don't think it would take very long to find a weird person. Were all a little obsessed!

I know this is off the subject, but how do I change my avatar to a custom one? I already have one, I just don't know where to go. -.-

I can't wait to see which girl gets the place!

You van change your avatar at the User CP

yeah, they better do a good job. i wonder what she's gonna look like. but, based on the characters they've picked before, i'm sure they'll do a good job. (*crosses fingers*)

seriously stoked about meeting luna!

Do you realise how long that would take? Not everyone lives in the States. To make it 'fair' to everyone it'd have to be global.

i really can't wait to see who made the parts.. too. ahh i dont think ill be able to wait 2 years for the 5th movie to come out!! i cannnt waaaiiittt!! i bet they will have awesome graphics for the way tonks will change into different ppl.. it will be so cool to see!

ahhh! i wanted to try out but i live in the us no fair they should bring castin scouts over here!shes so luckky...

Its not about being a natural weirdo, its about being able to act well. Really well. Luna has layers, so in that she is a hard character. I only say she is easy because I relate to her and when the 6th book came out I dressed up and acted like her and all my friends were like...you should be Luna which I've wanted to since I read the 5th book.

Sorry but I cant help with the avy thing. I dont know how....



I know what I said was just the states but I meant global I just didn't say it. It was late. I wasn't really coherent, just completely exhausted. I do know it would take forever and in the sence of time...yeah we are all out of luck there, so meh.... I was more or less defending those Americans that can do english accents because of what that one person said about not wanting an American. I thought it was rude so I wasn't thinking about elaborating...meh. Yeah. But it would be nice if they were global....oh well...I knew Ishould have been born in England. Darn fate!...lol.

i love her

The films don't just use English accents...there isn't a standard 'English' accent contrary to popular belief. There are all sorts of dialects. And please don't use England when you really mean UK; the words aren't interchangable and England isn't the only country in Great Britain. They're not saying 'We don't want Americans', they're saying 'We need British actors'. It's just certain nations make it more personal than it ought to be. But primarily the decision is down to JK. It makes sense to have the actors the same nationality as the characters...hence Krum and Fleur so it isn't British dominated.

i carn't wait to see who plays who, the film will be great.

I can't wait for the person who plays her gets decided. The film would be great with whoever.

I know the film doesn't just use English accents and I know there isnt a standard english. I have many accent tapes and can do many different accents from the UK. I didn't mean to offend you by saying "England", I know there is more than one country, but I actually was not refering to the whole.

I am not saying the director screen writers or casting directors are saying that, I was talking to the girl who said something that most likely she didnt mean to say so rudely but it came off rudely. Of course its up to JK, I am not stupid, I do know that.

Cant wait to see who is it

Oh, but why not? I mean the film shoots in most of the countries, uses actors from different countries and of course, Hogwarts is in Scotland lol

Thing is you said 'defending Americans who can...' when there's no attack on them. I just don't see the basis for a logical argument against the British casting decision. If not for authenticity but for legal reasons, as pointed out to a girl once by Heyman and expressed many a time by casting agents nationally. Casting locally just makes sense and that is much the same for many productions, not just HP.

I really hope that WB does a good job casting Luna. She is very important in the Order of the Phx. I really hope that they do the scene when she sees the ghost horses.

The have a difficult task to find someone weird and cute.

Cheers,

I don't know why they just wont tell us who she is though. Its not like we're all going to jump on her completely. Though it must be really hard cause they narrowed it down to five and four are not making it.
