Luna Lovegood

I heard that they just held open auditions in London for the part of Luna Lovegood, a character in the next Harry Potter film.

The successful girl will join cast members Daniel Radcliffe, who plays Harry; Emma Watson, who plays Hermione Granger; and Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley in the film. (BBC)

I'm pretty sure this is what you'd call a big break, which I fucking missed. It always happens to me. I'm never in the right place at the right time. I would have gone to the audition, all aloof, dressed in my wizard's costume. And, I would have queued overnight, too. Then I could have straightened myself up, shuffled through the door and worked my magic.

A spokeswoman had said an "other-worldly" quality was needed to play the part.

I could show them I've got that in spades.

'Why do you want the role?'
'Why do
you want the role?' Then, after a reply like that, smart as paint, I'd do some forward rolls.

Girls trying for the role had to live in the UK or Republic of Ireland and provide a passport or birth certificate and proof of address.

This is frustrating. I've got a passport, I'm British. I can do all this - it should be me.
Fuck it, I'm going to write them a letter. Part complaint, part advertisement. Written in pencil crayon, all otherworldly.

Andrew, you would make a kick ass Luna Lovegood. A bit of black eyeliner and a far away gaze and they'd snap you up. As you are out of the country I sent them a picture of you, as otherworldly as you are. Expect a casting call any day. Word. Alice x

Thanks. They've already got several pictures of me, but another wouldn't hurt. x
