cho chang casting

with prisoner of azkaban nearly finished, production and casting has already started on the 4th harry potter movie, the goblet of fire. so they already have a new director…mike newell (donnie brasco, four weddings and a funeral…), and theyve already begun casting some of the new characters like viktor krum and cho chang. hpana (via veritaserum) had a chance to talk to one of the 36 finalists for the role of cho chang…a girl named valerie who traveled 6 hours from scotland to audition. the initial audition was rather boring and pedestrian, but the follow-up workshop…which consisted of numerous “activities”…seemed a little weird. anyhoo, valerie is only one of the 36 finalists…but shes pretty cute. cute that is, in that “shes a minor and therefore stated in a platonic, non-offending“-manner. *ahem* personally, my pick for cho chang wouldve been akiko monou. sure shes not chinese (korean?), and shes probably twice as old as cho chang should be. but they can work around it. ok, maybe not. itll still be interesting to see who they get for cho…because she’ll get to go pms on harry in the 5th movie…
