| | |  Luna Lovegood hopefuls in the press
Articles about girls short-listed from the Luna Lovegood casting call have started to emerge. Recently it was announced that it had been narrowed down to 400 girls. Jessica Hoggins, 14, from Newport and 15 year old Laura Scaife from Dunholme are among that number. Both articles include their story and pictures of the aspiring actresses. Quote:
Jessica, who will be 15 next month, was encouraged to go for the part by Ian Billings, of the drama group Stagecoach, who said she fitted the blonde-haired blue-eyed description for the part.
She was shortlisted to read from the script and take a screen test.
Quote:
Laura's stepfather David Hoskins told the Chronicle: "She's been into Harry Potter ever since the first book came out and reads them over and over again.
"She read about the casting call on the internet on Thursday and asked if she could go, and her dad took her down on Saturday morning."
At the call, the children were seen in groups of 50, of which four from each were asked to leave further details, and Laura was among these in her group. She is now waiting for information about the next stage in casting.
Thanks to HPANA and Wizard News for the info!  | |

Jessica is very pretty. She's got that actress look. And they can make her look nerdy/goofy easily, I think. So I'd choose Jessica. The other girl looks a bit like Emma Watson, I think.

Cool, I wish everyone who's auditioning luck! I hope they find a perfect Luna, not only in looks, but in personality.

I think that Jessica is almost too pretty for Luna. Not what I pictured at all. But I suppose with costume and make-up...

I agree Laura looks more like my idea of Luna (just dye her hair, maybe contacts?). There were girls in the queue (photos featured the other week) who looked more like the character of Luna- but it's the acting skills we need as well..... Can't wait to find out who the lucky girl is!

I don't think either look the part really...ah well as long as they're good actresses, that's what matters

Jessica is really pretty, but I don't see much of 'Luna' in her. And after the fans reaction to a too-pretty-Hermione, I don't think they will go for that again. Laura is cute and I can defenetly see more Luna in her, she doesn't come across as "pretty blonde playing dumb" which Luna, thankfully, isn't.

I wish all the girls good luck. I'm not sure about either of those two but who knows...I just hope they get Luna right or I'll be very disappointed. They can only do what they can I guess...
