The first of the open auditions for Lyra was held today, at Cambridge. Thousands of young hopefuls turned up and queuing started very early, with CBBC putting an estimate of some 1200 girls there. The auditions at Kendal have also taken place, this Thursday (the 6th).
From reports from those girls who contacted us, it seems as though the casting directors simply dismissed those girls that they felt did not look the part – which is disappointing as this rather ignores any acting talents they may have.
Those girls left were asked simple questions such as “what would your daemon look like?” Those further selected from the group were sent to have their photograph taken, to potentially be called back after all the auditions have taken place. Remember there are still two seperate days of auditions left: see here for all the details.
There's a good gallery of images on the CBBC website now, but to read full experiences of girls who were there, head here. This will expand as more people get back to us. If you went, please do email us with how it went – or simply comment here.
Heya, back! Sorry, my computer broke yesterday and I havenm't gone on this page for a while, KK, you're back, yay! Is it true that they have got down to the final 2?
Hx
i don't know, but i'm beginning to suspect it's true. my friend got a letter saying she was out of the contest 🙁 :crying: unfair but it means that they're really narrowing it down
H, i have been trying to talk 2 u 4 AGES on here… http://www.bridgetothestars.net/news/1127908672
KKx
hellow?
my computer just went blank. it said it was an unchunk malfunction.
pffft*laughey-doo* :laughing: :laughing:
KKx ask me any question i know the answer! (um, fortune telling not the speed of light divided by the integer 5 squared subtract negative 4) 🙂
woohoo! long message
Ha! I will now wright a longer one. Hmmmmmmmmmmm, let me see, what could I write about, hmmm. I know! The auditions! So, apparently, but with no completely safe truth behind this, they are down to the very final two. I have a statement from H. 'On the Newsround website, there is no warning of the auditions, and no news of any further decisions made by the casting directors.' Hmmm. Very interesting indeed! And, a statement from KK about the highest level known of the auditions :'my friend got a letter saying she was out of the contest'. Oooh, and her friend was in the FINAL 20. So, the most they would probably have would be 10, and I say that as the m o s t . So, as a conclusion. The final 20 was called. They went, they did acting, roleplay and much more. People got letters, calls, saying they were in or out and much more. So now, there is still much more information left, but the answer that some evidence concludes, and some doesn't, opinions have been stated and Philip Pullman himself discussed the London auditions, and so, the most likely answer, I think (just me, my opinion, which shouldn't really be used in a report, but ah well!) is……..(drumrol)…that… (BANG) they are in the Final 10 or below! And as I already kinda said that, that big dramatic thing was worthless, but ah well! Have fun people, and look forward to this big movie. So, everyone have a good day, and goodnight from your reporter, H.
🙂 😉 🙂
Oh yeah, I forgot to ask earlier, where did the final 2 rumour come from?
from somebody on BttS who was saying that she was in the final 2 i think.

Hehehe, I dont mind about the casting now, I mean, I would have loved to get further, but there was hardly any chance and I'm sure the part will go to someone who really deserves it and loves the character, and I hope they will do the character justice!
