There is a new article online where Jessie Cave, who plays Lavender Brown in Half-Blood Prince, discusses a myriad of things.

With two such coveted gigs on her CV, one might assume Cave to be another stage-school kid, but the Londoner actually landed the Potter part at an open audition, and, until Arcadia, her stage experience was limited to school plays. “It’s taken me a while to find my purpose,” muses Cave. Indeed, besides an art-foundation degree and an aborted stint studying English at university, she nearly became a pro tennis player: “I’d have had to give up my life just to be in the top 500 and I didn’t have that love for it.”
