Newsround Interview with DakotaPosted by Will on May 24, 2007 at 8:13 amCBBC’s Newsround have posted online their Tuesday interview with Dakota Blue Richards. The star of The Golden Compass had originally heard about the auditions on the programme and told them how she went along to open auditions in Cambridge to try out for the part of Lyra because she was such a fan of the books. “I like to do what I’m told not to do, just because someone’s told me not to do it,” she said. “I really liked the character and so I thought I might as well go to the auditions. I didn’t really believe it at first until they were saying ‘Oh you’re going to come to set and do costume fittings’ and I was like ‘what?’”Watch the interview or read more.

She’s so Lyra! She’s more mature and slightly older than i imagined but that will be good for the second two films. May 26, 2007 2:55 pm | link

I agree with elsta, I don´t think that Lyra would wear a Hello Kitty t-shirt… May 29, 2007 9:28 pm | link

This isn’t Lyra they were interviewing, it’s Dakota. I think she’s a pretty good actress - she acts completely different when she is Lyra in the trailer and the other footage May 31, 2007 9:40 am | link
