哈利之《神奇動物》募小演員
A lucky British youngster will be given the opportunity to star alongside Eddie Redmayne in the forthcoming Harry Potter spin-off 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them'.
一名幸運的英國少年將會與埃迪•雷德梅尼一道出演即將開拍的《哈利•波特》外傳《神奇動物在哪裏》。
The part will be thrown open to a public casting call at which girls aged eight to twelve will be given the chance to impress Warner Bros. executives. Contenders will not be required to have any previous acting experience ahead of the event which will be held at London's ExCeL centre on Saturday.
這個角色將在公衆中招募演員，8到12歲的小女孩均有機會在華納兄弟公司高管面前一展才華。角色競選者試鏡前不需要有任何表演經驗，試鏡活動將於星期六在倫敦的卓著中心舉辦。
The character will be called Modesty and will be expected to start filming alongside Redmayne who plays the "magizoologist" Newt Scamander. Scamander attains notoriety by penning a Hogwarts School textbook about magical creatures. "Modesty is a haunted young girl with an inner strength and stillness," the studio said in a statement. "She has an ability to see deep into people and understand them."
這個角色名叫茉徳絲蒂, 會與扮演“魔法生物學家”紐特•斯卡曼德的埃迪•雷德梅尼一起拍攝。斯卡曼德因編寫沃茨魔法學校魔法生物的教科書而聲名大振。華納兄弟影業發佈聲明稱，“茉徳絲蒂是一位被鬼魂困擾、卻內心強大且鎮定自若的年輕女孩，她有一種看穿靈魂的能力。”
Writing on her Facebook page in 2013, JK Rowling said of the story: "Although it will be set in the worldwide community of witches and wizards where I was so happy for 17 years, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is neither a prequel nor a sequel to the Harry Potter series, but an extension of the wizarding world.
2013年，JK羅琳在她的臉書上寫道，“這部電影將以巫師界爲背景，在那個魔法世界，我快樂地度過了17年時光。《神奇動物在哪裏》既不是《哈利•波特》系列的前傳，也不是續集，它是魔法世界的延伸。
"The laws and customs of the hidden magical society will be familiar to anyone who has read the Harry Potter books or seen the films, but Newt's story will start in New York, 70 years before Harry's gets under way."
“這個隱形魔法社會的準則和風俗對《哈利•波特》的書迷和影迷來說耳熟能詳，但是紐特的故事將在紐約拉開序幕，從哈利踏上魔法征程前70年開始。”
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them will be released on November 18, 2016.
《神奇動物在哪裏》將於2016年11月18日上映。
