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.

Well, considering the fact that there has to be chemistry between Ron & Lavender, it makes perfect sense to involve Rupert in the selection process. I'm not sure just how much "snogging" will be in the actual movie, but it's probably going to be a lot more than the little smooch between Harry and Cho.

Haha! I'm sure he won't mind, even if he thinks it would be embarassing. I'm sure there are many girls who will line up to have the opportunity to kiss Rupert :)

I would love to snog with Rupert Grint! Too bad you have to live in the UK or Ireland. It's not fair! They're naitionalists! I'm as good as any british or irish girl!

I think that this is an absolutely fabulous idea, as there has to be good chemistry between Lavender and WonWon. Not bad for the top five girls, all of whom get to snog Rupert. I don't think any of them will complain.

Hahahaha, Rupert's going to have to snog all five Lavenders! Wow, if you ask me, David Yates lets a lot of things "slip" to the press. But I'm enjoying the "slips".

I think that is a really good idea. That way they might actually have some chemistry. That will make it way better. It will be weird to see Ron with someone, especially since we all know he has it bad for Hermione:) I think this director really does a good job. He seems to know what he is doing.

well, since Rupert does play Ron then its only right for him to have just a little say on who gets the lucky part of playing Lavender.
