Can you see yourself as the next Hermione Granger or Luna
Lovegood?
If so, you might
want to get yourself to London this coming weekend.
The makers of
the next movie in the "Harry Potter" wizarding universe,
"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," are on the lookout for
their newest star, and if you're a girl aged eight to 12, it could be you.
Casting
directors are looking for someone to play the role of "Modesty,"
alongside established Hollywood stars Eddie Redmayne, Ezra Miller and Katherine
Waterston.
Modesty is
described as "a haunted young girl with an inner strength and stillness.
She has an ability to see deep into people and understand them."
Anyone who fancies their chances is invited to go along to the
casting call at London's Excel Centre on Saturday morning at 9am for the open
audition.
Filming for the
movie is expected to take place between August 2015 and January 2016.
Redmayne, who
won an Oscar earlier this year for his performance as physicist Stephen Hawking
in "The Theory of Everything," will
star in the lead role as "magizoologist" Newt Scamander.
Scamander travels
the world searching for magical creatures and documenting them in his book,
"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," which is studied by Harry,
Hermione, Ron and their classmates at Hogwarts School.
"Harry Potter" creator J.K. Rowling has
previously revealed that
"[the] story will start in New York, 70 years before Harry's gets under
way."
Rowling, who
will make her screenwriting debut with the film, says it is "neither a
prequel nor a sequel to the Harry Potter series, but an extension of the
wizarding world."
"Fantastic
Beasts and Where to Find Them" is due for release on November 18, 2016; it
will be directed by David Yates, who was behind the final four "Harry
Potter" movies, and produced by David Heyman, who worked on all eight
films about the young wizard.
