'Harry Potter 4' Casting Call For Two Asian Girls

[Monday, December 22nd, 2003]
The makers of Harry Potter 4 are looking for two Asian girls to take on roles, according to the BBC.

The pair, who would play the roles of twins Parvati and Padma, are said not to need any previous acting experience for the roles.

"In this book, they are actually written as twins but it has been incredibly difficult to find Asian twin girls so we decided to open it up and just find two girls," said casting director Shaheen Baig. "We're looking for two girls - if they happen to be sisters that would be amazing, but it doesn't really matter. We just want two good girls who have fantastic chemistry."

Padma and Parvati are expected to have major scenes when they accompany Harry Potter and his friend Ron Weasley to a Hogwart's school ball.

The auditions are being held at the Pineapple Studios in Langley Street, near Covent Garden, from 1000-1500 GMT.
