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!

Why don't I live in England?

I'd say the Harry potter franchise, books AND movies are bigger than Lord of the Rings, but thE LOTR movies r bigger than HP movies


Posted by Grnd3lW4Ld Oct 30th 2007

Then again the lord of the rings books were written what 60 years ago? But yeah I agree with you, nowadays anyway. from a literary point of view at least I think LOTR is better then HP, Hp is a very enjoyable series I have nothing against it of course...what do you mean danny?

Awesome! can't wait for the film!


Posted by KaitlinM Oct 30th 2007

weaslychild, you should totally come up with a covert move to do during the move that is a shout out to mugglenet! like scratching your nose or something lol I agree with your point about 'biggest mvie fanchise', it may have been a bit of an exageration. However, lets not open that can of worms (LOTR vs. HP vs. Star Wars), he just mentioned it in passing, and he is understandable excited so i say let it go


Posted by KaitlinM Oct 30th 2007

whups, on more careful reading i see that it was a woman who made those comments, so i meant 'she's not 'he', plus i also meant 'movie' not 'move' or 'mvie' and 'understandably' not 'understandable'. plus a few other spelling errors maybe i should lay off the cold medicine

Hmmm I wonder who has been cast as Lavander Brown?? That is the question that haunts me.


Posted by thenextweaslychild Oct 30th 2007

haha Well ive been given robes..the book [its cover says "Beginers Guide To Herbology"]..and mah"wand". The box says "Holly with Essence of Phoenix Talon"[I get to keep the book wand and robes.] hah I guess im just supposed to be reading and holding the wand "casually". haha I so should give a "shout-out to mugglenet like KaitlinM said. Its going to be a great experience and hopefully ill be able to be on the same set as the trio. Ive been like uber excited jumping up and down calling everyone i know. I still dont know where ill be like in a classroom or in the great hall or something.

Congrats to thenextweasleychild and, by the way, Happy Hallowe'en everybody.


Posted by LollyThePop Oct 31st 2007

NO! Does this mean I'm too late? I live in the area I just don't happen to go to one of the lucky schools and my Drama teacher told me she was still in the process of getting me an audtion! Are all the auditions finished now?


Posted by IIaneII Oct 31st 2007

i wish i still lived in the UK! >< i lived near where they were casting for lavender and i was completely oblivious to it. XD too bad they weren't casting for extras while i was there. =/ i think it'd be very cool to wear a hogwarts uniform ^^


Posted by blue_dogs Oct 31st 2007

Wow, it would be so cool if I could be an extra, too bad I live in Australia :(


Posted by oXbeccaXo Oct 31st 2007

I go to school in Gloucester! And my friend got to audition. They just took a picture of her and took some measurements (for the uniform). I am very jealous of her! Although I do hope she gets a part. =D


Posted by SnitchSeeker777 Oct 31st 2007

it would be amazing just to BE THERE! even if i wasnt in the movie it would be ammmmmmazzzzinngg....... ahh its times like these that makes me want to be british =[


Posted by Rowena_R Oct 31st 2007

That would be sooo cool to get in!


Posted by phoenixknight Oct 31st 2007

YOU KNOW, COME TO THINK OF IT, THIS IS THE LAST TIME THAT THEY WILL CAST EXTRAS AS STUDENTS OF HOGWARTS, BECAUSE THEY DON'T NEED TO DO THAT FOR DEAHTLY HALLOWS, BECAUSE HOGWARTS IS NOT SHOWN IN THE BOOK UNTIL THE FINAL BATTLE!

"biggest movie series in history". looks like someone's head needs a little deflating... seriously, these movies are crap. i hate them. the only good ones were 1 & 2, and then they just got ruined. esp. GoF. they killed that one. they tortured it, and kicked it, and then killed it, then ran over it with a truck, and then threw it off of the empire state building, and then finally buried it. LORD OF THE RINGS WAS WAY BETTER! the people who played the main characters could actually ACT in that one...elijah wood was SO much better than dan could ever hope to be... AND SEAN BEAN SHOULD BE IN HARRY POTTER!


Posted by phoenixknight Nov 1st 2007

YOU KNOW WHAT... SHUT THE FFUCKK UP LoveLusciousLucius! YOU ARE AN IDIOT! LORD OF THE RINGS AIN'T GOT NOTHING ON HARRY POTTER, WHICH IS WAY BETTER! OOTP WAS THE BEST MOVIE ANDIS THE BEST MOVIE THIS YEAR. AND THE FIRST TWO MOVIES WERE THE WORST MOST GAYEST HP MOVIES EVER, AND ALOT OF PPL CAN AGREE ON THAT, ONCE CHRIS COLUMBUS LEFT, THINGS GOT ALOT BETTER FOR HP. NOW, I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANYMORE LOTR RADICALS HERE, OR MUGGLENET NEEDS TO BAN THEM. FRODO AND HIS STUPID FATHER DILDO FAGGINS, HA!

Is Dumbledore right that Hogwarts sorts its students into Houses too soon - while the kids are too young?
