Last week we let you know that Warner Bros. will be doing a casting call
soon for characters for the next movie. While doing publicity this weekend for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix director David Yates let slip as to how he is going to have Rupert Grint help out in casting Lavender Brown, who Ron has a 'relationship' with in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
Yates on letting Rupert help with casting of Lavender Brown:
You know what I'm going to do? I never did this before, but I'm going to get Rupert together with the top five Lavenders, get him to come and read with them and snog with them. It's a chemical thing, and you want to feel that chemistry between them. That will help me decide.
Rupert's reply when told:
Really? Oh, wow, I didn't realize that. That's going to be interesting. It's going to be embarrassing.
Filming is scheduled to start for Half-Blood Prince in September.

Hah, he's always embarrassed to do things like that! There's this video on YouTube where he is asked about his first on screen kiss on Driving Lessons. Wow, it was funny because he was sooo embarrassed.

That is really cool that his is helping too cast Lavender Brown! At this time I actully wish that I was a girl and tha I had lived in England or Ireland, but I am a guy and I also live in the United States. I really like Lavender, so I think that it would be cool. If any of you girls here on HPANA try out, good luck!

Hehe, that so cute. Rupert is so adorable. I kinda like the idea of him picking one because Yates is right, the chemistry needs to be there.

I laughed so hard when I read this!! Imagine the THOUSANDS of girls who will turn up at this casting call just so they can get the chance to snog Rupert!! Hee-hee!

Well that makes sense! Rupert is the one who has to act and kiss with the girl that's chosen so he should have a role in picking her out! It's so cute that he's embarrassed! It's just a kiss after all, it's not like he's gonna get naked on stage or something!

Good experience for him. Also important that they find the right chemistry for them as well. It will be fun to see how they do on their scenes

That is so hilarious, actually. I very much expected Rupert's answer that it'll be embarassing! It makes sense though...I do agree with David Yates that chemistry is very important. Good luck, all you would-be Lavenders!

That is wonderful that Rupert is going to get to be involved with the casting of Lavendar.
Chemistry is so important, if we don't feel the connection we so won't buy what they are selling.
