I think she looks really pretty, and in some way, really lav-Lav-ish :P :D

Woah, she is gorgeous. It’s nice to have someone with experience in the role (not that it’s necessary).

Yes! She’s like I imagined her…actually, she’s prettier! Oh, Emma is going have some good competition! What puzzles me is that she’s 20….a bit older than Rupert, but hey, I like her pic…we’ll have to see her acting to be sure. :D

she has beautiful eyes and wonderful hair. I cam imagine her as Lavender. Maybe it is good she already has acting experience.

Lizetm, I think Rupert’s 19. Did you mean she is a bit older than Ron and Lavender in the book?

She looks almost exactly like my mental picture of Lavender (I imagined her as a bit more blonde)! Can’t wait to see the film :)

She’s perfect. Exactly what I pictured Lavender to be. Yet another inspired choice by Warner Bros. I can’t wait for HBP.

Oooh, she will be just about perfect! Very pretty! Can’t wait to see her huffing and puffing about no one telling her that Ron was in the hospital wing. I really can’t wait another year!

lizetm, Rupert’s 19. (My age squeals) So actually, they’re both a little older for their character’s age. Plus I’m sure they’ll make her look younger if they need/want to.

She’s perfect! And quite beautiful…she’s the Lavender I pictured in my head. Just not as wide-eyed.
