Teenage girls came out in throngs Saturday for a chance to be a part of the Harry Potter phenomenon.

Auditions were held at Westminster Central Hall in London for the role of trainee wizard Luna Lovegood in the next Potter movie, “Harry Potter And The Order of the Phoenix.”

In the best-selling book by J.K. Rowling, Luna is described as a 14-year-old wizard who is a bit unusual and considered an outsider by her classmates.

The part was open only to female British and Irish citizens aged 13 to 16. Of the thousands of hopefuls who came out, one will join the famous cast of teen stars made up of Daniel Radcliffe (who plays Harry), Emma Watson (who plays Hermione Granger), and Rupert Grint (who plays Ron Weasley).
