Ace Showbiz is reporting that Emma Watson is a possibility for the role of Claudia, but the former Hermione Granger might have to fight for it. Blake Lively (Gossip Girl) and Jennifer Lawrence (Winter’s Bone) are also strong possibilities for the role.
It might not be a fair way of choosing, and I do hope the part of Claudia goes to whoever is actually best for the role, but the producers and director might want to also consider something. Harry Potter and Twilight have been two huge movie franchises and having a major player from both of those series’ would have fans of both adventures swarming to the theater.
