Do you think she’ll make a good Lavendar? Remember, Lavendar is the one who gets to “snog” Ron Weasley all the time; here’s some info that should jog your memory:
Lavender Brown is a Gryffindor student in Harry’s year. She is a close friend of housemate Parvati Patil; they seem to enjoy the same classes, especially Divination, and share many common interests. The two also seem to have a reasonably close relationship with Professor Trelawney, comforting and supporting her in her various crises. Lavender initially believes the Ministry of Magic’s smear campaign against Harry, but later joins Dumbledore’s Army. When the Blast-Ended Skrewts run amok in the pumpkin patch during a Care of Magical Creatures lesson, Lavender is one of the few students who help round them up rather than take cover in Hagrid’s hut. She attends the Yule Ball with Seamus Finnigan in their fourth year.
In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Lavender and Ron begin dating, and she gives him the tacky nickname of “Won-Won” (much to Harry’s relief, Ron never calls her “Lav-Lav” in return). Ron, on the other hand, is not particularly amorous of Lavender himself, but he maintains the relationship in order to instill jealousy in Hermione and to prove that he can “snog” people whenever he wants. Lavender becomes jealous of Ron’s friendship with Hermione, and finally splits up with him when she sees him and Hermione leaving Harry’s dormitory together, mistakenly under the impression that they had been alone together in there, but Harry was actually present under his Invisibility Cloak under the influence of Felix Felicis, so he could have inadvertently caused them to break up.
Lavender is gravely injured in the final battle against Voldemort and the Death Eaters after being blown off a high balcony and being attacked by Fenrir Greyback, but Hermione saves her by hitting Greyback with a Stunning Spell. At that point, she is moving feebly, though it is unknown if she ultimately survives the battle.

I think she is very good Lavender. I imagined her exactly like that.

[…] Jessie Cave has won the role of Lavender Brown, who has eyes for Ron Weasley. Nine-year-old Hero Fiennes Tiffin is playing the role of the young Tom Riddle at age 11, while 16-year-old Frank Dillane is playing the teenage Riddle, who is already on the path to becoming the evil Lord Voldemort.

She’s seriously gorgeous and pretty!
I hope the makeup artists don’t plain her down for the sake of “modesty”.
She certainly will make Emma W look plain in comparison. Wow!

How messed up is it that she didn’t even go to the open casting ( according to wikipedia)? 7000 really hopeful fans show up and go through all that and they don’t pick ONE?
If I were British I’d be pretty peeved. Heck I’m Not British and I think it’s bogus.

Well I think that Jessie Cave’s eyes is horrible and it look that she is always sad all the time but everything else is awesome i can’t wait till the movie ohhh i wish today is November 21 2008 ohhhhhhhhhhhh i love Dan! ^_^ But i like Harry with Hermione better than with Ron but thats cool too

okay, honestly i think that shes perfect for being lavendar. i think she looks exactally as how i pictured her as being. still, emma watson puts her to shame. no one you put in the movie can really make hermione jealous. have you seen her?! shes so pretty. either way, lavendar is just a booty call. ron is only with her so they can ’snog’ since all of them have already done it, including ginny whos younger.

I agree. She isn’t who I imagined when I read the books. And she has to be in both movies. Oh, well. The only kissing in this movie I’m looking forward to is Harry and Ginny. Can’t wait til Nov 21 2008!

i think that emma and rupert should do the kissing scenes not jesse cave but the good part is that ron doesn’t even want to kiss her beacuse in the 7th one he says that to daniel(harry)so hahahahahahahahaha

Is it just me or does any1 else think she looks like a fish?
I think its unfair that they put the age limit for the open auditoins 15-18…and then they give the part to a 20 year old…i’m sure there were hundreds of 19 and 20 year olds that wanted to auditoin but were too old to try out…but she manage 2 audition for it because of her part in sunnyhill - kick in the teeth or what!
Hopefully she will do the character justice tho x x x

I think she is pretty but she is not what I expected. She a bit to old for the role and she should be darker and like someone said before, more “exotic”. Lavendar needs to make Hermione jealous and has to make her feel as though she is no competition. I believe that lavendar should be young and gorgeous so as to make Hermione go insane with jealousy. Hermione and Ron 4ever.

To the last couple of posters [bar one or two]…guys, seriously! Leave it alone. At least give a reason as to why you don’t like her - maybe she’s not how you pictured Lavender? and that’s fair enough! But to just say that she’s ugly or you hate her, why on earth would you say such things? How would you like it to go on the internet some day and come across a thread about how ugly you are!?
Just leave her alone, get over it, and get on with your lives!
