Screen Daily is reporting that open auditions for the part of Lyra in the upcoming His Dark Materials film will be held. The producers say they are looking for a girl “who embodies Lyra's loyalty, bravery and mischievous nature” and say that she need not have any previous acting experience.
Auditions for the role will be taking place solely in England: at Cambridge, Oxford, Kendal and Exeter. The auditions will be held during the first two weeks of this April. A girl between the ages of 9 and 13 is being sought, allaying fears that Lyra's age would be raised for legal or moral reasons.
For those going: We'd like to cover the auditions here on BttS as fully as possible, so if anyone actually going to the auditions is interested, we'd love it if they could tell us of their experiences – how they convinced their parents, what the queue was like and perhaps even taking a few photos. If you are planning to go to the auditions and are interested, then you can email us here. Your stories would be featured here after each of the auditions.
Details:
The casting calls will have open queues in the morning lasting from 10 o'clock until 12 o'clock and will end at 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
The exact locations are:
- Cambridge's Corn Exchange (4 April)
- Kendal's Castle Green Hotel (6 April)
- Oxford's Examination Schools (11 April)
- Exeter's Great Hall at the University of Exeter (13 April)

And if Areius is better I've also someone called Aeromo, do i need to change that one then?
Into what?
hi guys! sorry. i had a dance show for the last few days and have been out like non stop. thats why i havent been here, sorry! :crying:
I like the name Areius better. i dont really understand the other questions though. and i havent read your book, so i'm not one to really judge, so, sorry again :crying:
woo dance show??/ ^^
For what kind of dancing then??
*are you gonna audition for lavender brown or is she already cast..? o.O*[repeat]
oh it was the 25th aniversary for my dance school so we put on a huge show in the anvil. yeah i just remebered that name will mean nothing to you guys, so just pretend the name of the theatre is impressive, ok? lol
i'm pretty sure lavender browns already been cast. but i'll check hang on. i'll post this first
ok, i dont think she's been cast but i cant find any evidence of any auditions either. its been a while since i read the harry potters but dosn't she not have a very big role till the 6th book anyway? its not even a very big role then, but i'm not sure anyway. i'll put a google alert on the topic.
she has a huge part!! Shes ron's girlfriend right..!
*ok perhaps not huge but it's kinda big..*
mm emily if there'r auds are u goiung then ? 😛
nah, its not exactly huge, i mean you could live without her in the plot couldnt you. sort of. maybe. i dunno. i havnt read the books for a while. i cant quite remember.
if there are audits i might go, but i'm not sure
it is SO unfair! Rachel is in barcelona and I have to go to school tomorrow! :crying: :crying: not fair 🙁
I'm back!!! Have u missed me? Yh bout the lavender auds, i reckon they'll cut the part and just play up the harry/ginny thing … i reckon emma will quit anyway sooo …
Meh i wood tell u all bout my hols but i cant be bothered at the moment soz! I'll prods type 2moro c ya xx

If you don't believe me.
hey all!!
so today it snowed and we had a 2 hour delayed opening
but then my mom was like "do you want to skip?" and i was like "uhhh yes."
sooo i didn't go to school today lol
ohh!! lucky one!! my day totally sucked!!! urgh!
But lucy uhw,,:( Damn *weird dream about her, as first dutch one being in the HP movies is gone*
But emily how do u mean that emma will quit? o.O
well yeah that girl was cas, but that was ages ago, it was like in the 3rd film. She didnt say anything so it was probobly an extra.
there's a chance they'll recast for sure.
alewyn you lucky [insert word of choice here]
i probobly had the strangest day of my life today, but as you wont understand most of it i'll name too particuly unusual things. i think its really cool but yeah it might sound cruel to say that so wahtever.
firstly the weather today was even starnger than usual, for example at lunch today, it was a bright sunny time, then there was a clap of thunder, 2 minutes later there was a power cut, 2 minutes after that it began to hail REALLY REAALY REALLY REALLY hard, i mean, someones ear started to blled cos they got caught outside AND then about 5 mins later it was a bright sunny day. seriously, it was strange.
and then a boy in my year broke his back coming down from his tutorial class, they had too call an ambulance and carry him off in a stretcher. and tahts hardly the beginning. this day has been REALLy weird. :wassat:
hey you know in 2 weeks we'll have been posting on this board for a full year, round about?
hey, 1500th post :tongue:
wow, that's seriously a really, really, really weird day…that weather sounds so freaky, and the boy…!
today i've spent my day at practice for this business competition, it's about the Euro and my school is being the Netherlands 🙂
still at school now, and going a wee bit crazy from being locked in this room all day…yayyyy
