Thousands of teenage girls have braved the chilly January weather in the hope of securing a role in the next Harry Potter film.

The teenagers, aged between 13 and 16, queued for hours as they waited to be called to audition for the part of trainee wizard Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix.
In the book, 14-year-old Luna is described as being a rather unusual character who is considered a bit of an outsider by her classmates.
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.
Some young hopefuls queued throughout the night outside Westminster Central Hall at Storey's Gate, London. Kim Allen, 15, from Hampshire said she started queuing at 11pm last night.
"There are three of us and we slept outside although we didn't sleep very well," she said. "Other people started arriving at about 12.30am."
Two other friends in the queue were Annie Beatson, 15, and Tazia Williams, 14, from Winton School in Andover.
"As far as we know they are just going to be looking at us and seeing if any of us have got the weird characteristics they want," Annie said.
A spokesman for Harry Potter Productions said casting director Fiona Weir was not looking for any particular physical attribute but wanted to find someone with an "other-worldly quality".
"Luna views the world very differently," he said. "She has an unusual quality but it is impossible to say what it is." &n bsp; &n bsp; &n bsp; &n bsp; &n bsp; &n bsp; &n bsp; i hope dont faint
