With the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie set to be released in a few weeks, details are surfacing on an upcoming casting call and filming location for the Half-Blood Prince movie. We also hear from director David Yates, confirming, in person, that he will be directing the sixth movie.
Warner Bros. are looking for a teenage boy and girl to play the parts of Lavender Brown and Tom Riddle with auditions taking place at Earl's Court in London on July 1st and 8th. According to the press release for both characters people should be between 15-18 years of age and a resident of the UK or Ireland. You can read all the information for the auditions here
. Thanks to HPFZ for that news.
Some filming for the movie will take place at Lacock in Wiltshire, with scenes filmed in autumn. You may remember that scenes featuring the Abbey's cloisters were in the first two movies:
The crew are set to return in the autumn and this time the focus is on the parts of the village close to The Angel and Church Street and the Abbey Cloisters will be used if the weather is bad.
This morning I attended a press junket for the movie where director David Yates and producer David Heyman confirmed for all that Yates will be directing the next movie. You can hear a snippet of their comments here (1.98 MB, WMA, please remember to right-click & save target as...).

I can't wait to see all the scenes with Lavender and Ron. I hope they cast her well. I love all the tension between Ron and Hermione in Half-Blood Prince.

Wouldn't it be cool if a member of HPANA was cast in either (or both!) roles? Best of luck if any of you are going to give it a try.
I am glad that David Yates is on board for the 6th film. That means that Mr. Heyman must have a lot of confidence in his abilities.

Man, I really wish two things right now:
1. That I lived in England or Ireland
2. That I'd been born just one year earlier
:(
Of course I don't think Lavender's Asian but you know. A girl can dream.

Too bad that I'm too old and don't live in the UK cause otherwise this would be a fantastic opportunity to work on a great film.

Sounds like a lot of fun for some lucky young people. Almost the last chance to be in the movies as a character. Not too many parts left to cast, unless there is a new character or two in the last book. Doubtful?

This is cool. What about the Tom Riddle from CoS? I hope OotP is good because I might not think David is the best to do HBP but I think hes proabably great!

Oh I would love to audition for Lavender Brown just to make out with Rupert Grint. That would be so much fun. Too bad I'm in the U.S. I do wish they would let other countries try out.

Yahoo! Yates is doing another one! This is great! I dunno, but I have so much confidence that the acting in this movie will be a lot less cheesier, thank to Yates. And if THIS one is soo much better than the previous ones, because of one year, imagine how much greater HBP will be! Hmm, Maybe he'll even stay for Deathly Hallows! Who knows? Haha, well, the time will come when Harry Potter movies will finally need big awards - like Oscars! No more of that 'popular vote' crap...
