David Yates, director for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince has said that he is going to have Rupert help with the casting of Lavender Brown for the film!

Yates on letting Rupert help with casting of Lavender Brown:

You know what I’m going to do? I never did this before, but I’m going to get Rupert together with the top five Lavenders, get him to come and read with them and snog with them. It’s a chemical thing, and you want to feel that chemistry between them. That will help me decide.

Rupert’s reply:

Really? Oh, wow, I didn’t realize that. That’s going to be interesting. It’s going to be embarrassing.

Thanks HPANA!
