Maybe it wouldn't have been a very good idea to cast someone who looked younger than Rupert. We have to admit that Rupert looks a bit older than the age he's supposed to have in the films That might have been one of the reasons they cast a girl her age- to match Rupert. Otherwise, it would be very odd having a boy who looks 20 snogging a girl who looks 15. A bit disturbing, if you ask me!!
My point ex5b4actly! Though I phrased it differently
Was today really necessary? -

I agree, I thought the way she got the role was completely unfair
but I am sure she will do a great job in HBP
I was really hoping someone from the open audition would of gotten the role
Because that means their HP fans like us.
Happy
Christmas!!

Oh my god me too! I'm so glad you said that, I have no idea where I got this impression from but I was positive that this was the case lol. I thought maybe I had just read it in a fan fiction or something and gotten it confused with the canon
lol I guess we both read the same one or something!

OMG the WonWon scenes are going to be hilarious, I watch the films with my family, and out of all of us my dad is the only one who hasn't read the books, his reaction is going to be so funny.
I'm glad they're finally bringing in Lavender, (of course they have to in this film)out of all the Gryffindors mentioned in the books in Harry's year, Lavender is the only one that hasn't been introduced.
Jessie's not exactly how I pictured Lavender to look, but saying that, as soon as I saw her pic, I thought, 'yep that's Lavender'. -

In the PoA film, they gave a random black girl who is an extra the name of 'Lavender Brown', maybe just so they didn't have to call her "Extra". But she's never been in any of the other films. Lavender's appearance has never been described in the books, though I thought I remembered HBP saying she had blonde hair

I don't really have an opinion, I've never heard of this girl before. But uh I was under the impression that Lavender was black? that kinda bugs me she's not
Well nowhere in the book does JK refer to Lavender as being black even though she makes sure to specify that others like Lee Jordan, Angelina Johnson, and Dean Thomas are black. You are probably under that impression because someone cast a black girl for Lavender in the 3rd movie, and they probably did this because she hadn't really emerged as a character in the books yet, so they had no reason to think otherwise -

I agree, I thought the way she got the role was completely unfair
I think it's more unfair the fact that fans, who have no experience at all and
don't
make a living out of acting, get the roles real actores apply for. It's like stealing jobs. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying someone without acting experience can't act properly. It worked with Evanna. But if you ask me, it worked because they cast a real-life Luna, Evanna IS Luna in real life. But I don't picture her doing, let's say, Shakespeare or things the like. Jessie lives of her acting -she wants to become a stage manager- so I think that she's the one who
needs
to get the role, and not a fan, who only wants the role to meet the cast or something like that. -

I don't think she fits the part. She actually looks like she is meant to play the part of Luna Lovegood (she almost looks like Evanna Lynch too). She doesn't look like what i thought Lavender would look like plus in the 3rd movie you see Lavander and she has dark skin, dark hair and brown eyes. What i want to know is why didn't the keep the same girl?

When I read all the books I imagined Lavender with dark hair and probably a bit thinner (Im not sating that she is fat, just a thiner face You know what I mean?)
Yeah, I know what you mean. She's not fat at all, but she has a wide face. I read somewhere that she has a kind of ethereal beauty. That might explain why some people think that she looks like they pictured Luna.
