According to a television report on Sky News, it took one man 15 minutes to walk from the back of the audition queue to the front. UPDATE #3: Reader Aleydis made it to the second round and sent this report: After seeing the article for the open Luna Lovegood casting call on your site I went along to the auditions and queued for seven and a half hours in the freezing cold! 100 girls went into the main hall at a time and met the casting director, Fiona Weir, and we said our names and where we were from (one at a time). She then asked about two people per hundred to step forward and the rest to leave. I waited for her to ask me to leave but instead she said 'the girl with the spotty hair ribbon please step forward' and it was me! I then filled out a form with all my details on and had my picture taken. I was told that if they were particularly interested in me they would call me back within the next two weeks for a proper audition - I'm really nervous but so excited! If any of you made it to the second round, be sure to let us know! Posted by Ciaran on 01/14 | comments [484] | send to friend | submit news |
