Thousands of young girls have queued for a top role in the Harry Potter spinoff.
The hopefuls, estimated to be about 10,000-strong, are aiming to nab a spot in the upcoming Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them film.
A casting call requested that youngsters aged between eight and 12 head to the Excel Centre in London on Saturday.
Those who came along are now competing to play the character of Modesty, a 'haunted young girl with an inner strength and stillness'.
The successful candidate will join Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne who has already signed on to play the lead as magizoologist Newt Scamander.
But it will be tough going to work alongside him after hopefuls began arriving from 4am.
Luckily those who aren't fortunate enough to land the role won't be going home empty-handed.
Instead they'll be rewarded with a certificate to let people know they took part in the casting process.
J K Rowling penned Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them in 2001, offering a whole new look into the world of wizardry.
In 2013 Warner Brothers announced they would be turning the book into a movie.
The film is set in New York and begins 70 years before Harry Potter's story starts.
Due to this anyone hoping to star alongside Daniel Radcliffe may have to think twice.
The 25-year-old, who shot to stardom for playing the boy wizard, has not been linked to the project.
One person who might not notice Daniel's absence from the upcoming film is Joe Jonas.
