Veritaserum.com has received word from Danielle Symonds of Enchantment Casting about some Order of the Phoenix casting information. According to information Ms. Symonds received from Heyday Films, casting for Order of the Phoenix will begin this fall and filming will begin in January of 2006. A casting director has not yet been appointed, so nothing is happening at the moment.
According to CBBC Newsround chances for open casting calls like those used in GoF to cast Cho Chang, Krum and the Patil Twins are unlikely. A spokesperson for Warner Bros. told CBBC Newsround: "We don't automatically do open casting calls. We only do them when it's particularly challenging to find the correct person for a particular part." Casting characters such as Luna Lovegood or Umbridge are unlikely to pose the same level of difficulty.
