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.

Poor Rupert! He's so shy and that has got to be very awkward for anyone really... Although I sorta wish it was me there and then the snogging might not be as hard then hehe. Just kidding. Actually, no, I'm sort of not... *sigh* I wish I could be in any of the movies really, snogging him or not...

What a hard job it is to be a Harry Potter actor being forced to kiss girls all day. And having tons of people who want to audition not because the love acting but so they could kiss you.

This is hilarious! Rupert is so shy! Even though I know deep down he will enjoy it, you know he will be so embarassed doing it though like he said! I can see him putting his hands in his pockets and getting all antsy before he has to do this, haha!

There is going to be so many girls wanting the part. It's good that Ruperts going to see who he has the most chemistry with, even if it is only to make Hermione jealous.

That's a pretty good idea. :)
It would really be interesting when Rupert has to snog the girls. It will be so awkward.

Geri or anybody even, whoever lives in U.S, would they mind uploading the video to somewhere else, mtv won't play it because of copyright or something not to play it outside the u.s! What!

What an interesting way to cast a character...I'm sure this idea will definitely provide the results for onscreen chemistry. Poor Rupert, I'm sure he will quickly overcome the embarrassment. After all, he gets to snog 5 girls.

I bet Rupert will enjoy that! If it took Dan & Katie 30 attempts to get their kiss right, how many will kisses Rupert end up doing at the casting alone?

WHAT? If you just GET to be one of the top five Lavenders you get to snog Rupert!? W T F!? That's soo unfair. If I was one of the top five I think that just getting to snog Rupert would be good. It'd be a dream come true!!!!!!!!

Well those girls that intend to audition for the role are going to be happy about this, no doubt. Embarrassing for him? Yeah right, he’s a guy.. he’s probably thinking, “oh yeah, I get to kiss 5 girls”!
