'Order of the Phoenix' casting updates

Thanx to veritaserum.com

CBBC Newsround caught up with HP Producer David Heyman earlier this evening, and he chatted a bit about casting for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. A couple of weeks ago, he told VTM that they'd already seen a few thousand girls for the role of Luna Lovegood, and tonight, he said that they've now narrowed them down to a shortlist of five (very similar to the Cho Chang auditions last year).

Heyman said, "We've narrowed it down to a handful of people for Luna. I haven't seen them though. David Yates has been doing the casting."

He also said that Imelda Staunton, who was a special guest at the premiere, is at the "forefront of the search" for Dolores Umbridge.
