HBP extras casting
HBP extras casting Casting for extras in the sixth Harry Potter film, Half-Blood Prince, took place in Gloucester recently where many young students lined up before the casting team.

Marketing manager Sharon Bird said: "The whole experience becomes a huge part of school life and children really enjoy being part of what is probably the biggest movie series in history."

Best of luck to those who tried out!

And if I were cast, I'm sure I'd be "ruddy pumpkin head #2" (Victor Krum being the original ruddy pumpkin head, according to Ron Weasley).

"what is probably the biggest movie series in history" ---------- I guess shes never heard of star wars or LOTR.


Posted by emmabonniefan17 Oct 30th 2007

Yes they are so lucky to be near the sets. I wish i lived there and be able to walk down the street or what not and see Bonnie or Emma.


Posted by ginnypotter719 Oct 30th 2007

they are so flippin' lucky!!!! i hope they cast good ones...


Posted by britishwannabe Oct 30th 2007

Alas, I'm not british.....Oh at times like these, I'm really a britishwannabe........


Posted by emmabonniefan17 Oct 30th 2007

British wannabe that's funny lol. I am from England but i am in the states at the moment, wish i was there and get a guest role so i could see Bonnie Wright.


Posted by ilovedan Oct 30th 2007

Posted by Kitty09b Oct 30th 2007

Urgh . . . why couldn't I have been born in England? I wish there was some contest so like some people from the U.S. could be extras....


Posted by Merenwen_Lupin21 Oct 30th 2007

ahh yess im torn between Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings....which one is "bigger"?


Posted by Grnd3lW4Ld Oct 30th 2007

Id have to say LOTR. hp is popular now but the lotr movies were epic. I think start wars beats them both though


Posted by Emi_5 Oct 30th 2007

and my parents couldn't be british why??? haha aww man i want to be an extra!!!! maybe for the 7th one they'll come here to Pennsylvania for the Forest of Dean!!!! haha just kidding but any way....you lucky ducks you!!!!


Posted by Grnd3lW4Ld Oct 30th 2007

*Star


Posted by Ellie_Snowmantle Oct 30th 2007

You guys have a point there, I think HP should be rephrased as "one of the biggest movie series in history" Because indeeed it truly is one of the best - along with LOTR and Star wars etc.


Posted by ginny53 Oct 30th 2007

Congrats to those who got in! Nice job weaslychild, thats really cool :). I live in Us though... so I couldn't do it. I actually really stink at acting thoough, so maybe thats a good thing that I wasn't there...lol

Posted by hedwig794 Oct 30th 2007

aww i wanna be in it, but i am not british! even if i wont really be in the movie if I get cast atleast i will be able to see the cast up close!!


Posted by ladyofemynarnen Oct 30th 2007

*eyeroll* Yeah, it's cool, but ... biggest movie series in history? Naw. That belongs to Star Wars or LOTR.


Posted by i_am_hermione Oct 30th 2007

That's so neat that they get to do that, even if you don't have lines. But they don't need experience or anyhting and they will get to see the actors and actresses in person! Good for them.


Posted by Helloskye Oct 30th 2007

LUCKY! COME TO CANADA PLEASE. I'd kill to just be there, eating chicken in The Great Hall.


Posted by crazyhplover Oct 30th 2007

Never used an Unforgivable Curse before, have you, boy? You need to mean them, Potter! You need to really want to cause pain — to enjoy it — righteous anger won't hurt me for long — I'll show you how it is done, shall I? I'll give you a lesson —
