| | |  Sierra Leone refugee talks dream role as Deathly Hallows extra
A new article focused on a 20-year old Sierra Leone refugee, who fled the African nation in the midst of its civil war. The girl, Magortu Margai, got the opportunity of a lifetime when she was cast as a Hogwarts student in the upcoming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II, playing a Hufflepuff featured in the battle at Hogwarts. A photo of Magortu with a fellow Hufflepuff extra on set can be seen here. 
Magortu also spoke about the day she met star Daniel Radcliffe on set. Quote:
"I was eating lunch and got chatting to Daniel. It was only for a few minutes but he was really nice. The first time we spoke was because he overheard me say I was nervous on my first day of filming. He told me not to worry and helped me calm down."
More on Magortu's inspirational life can be read here. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be out November 19, 2010 and July 15, 2011. | |

Lucky and deserving girl!
How I would have DIED to have been able to have been an extra! Alas, I know they don't hire extras from Los Angeles and filming is at its end.  | |

I applied to be an extra once, but was told I couldn't because I'm from the U.S. But this is amazing for this girl. I read a book called "A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier" about the turmoil Sierra Leone was in. I met the author, spoke with him, and was even able to get my book signed by him. It's an incredible story, and it's fortunate that these people get a chance to flee to better their lives. Good for her. This certainly is a dream come true. Way to go!
