For the past several days, rumors have been circulating that, according to an Italian magazine, director David Yates is considering casting an American actress as Lily Potter in the upcoming movie version of Order of the Phoenix. Several Harry Potter fan web sites have now proven this to be untrue.

Geraldine Somerville as Lily Potter

According to one fan site, a representative of Warner Bros. immediately shot this rumor down as soon as it came to light. According to the studio, casting is not yet underway on the Order of the Phoenix movie, and Geraldine Somerville, who has played the role of Lily Potter in past Harry Potter movies, is still cast in that part. Also, if perhaps a younger Lily Potter (Lily Evans) remains in the script, it is most likely that the actress hired to play her will be British, just as every other cast member in the Harry Potter movies so far whose character is British.
