Evanna Lynch, who was cast as Luna Lovegood after attending an open audition

YESTERDAY in London at the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix press conference, producer David Barron re-announced the details of the new auditions for the next instalment, The Half-Blood Prince, which is due to begin shooting in September.

The producers are looking for Lavender Brown and the young Tom Riddle, and would like to meet anyone aged between 15 - 18 years old.

Auditions for Lavender will take place on Sunday July 1 and for Tom on Sunday July 8 at Earls Court in London.

No previous experience is necessary and these auditions are open to absolutely everyone.

David Yates, who directed Order of the Phoenix and will direct the adaptation of book six too, said: "What's brilliant for us, usually you have casting agents sending you everyone and they come in the door tap-dancing, but you're looking for someone who's natural and interesting in their own right."

If you think that sounds like you, don't miss this chance to take your place in Potter history!
