A boy from Haworth has battled through auditions to be offered a part in the next Harry Potter film.
Richard Smith, aged ten, has been offered a part in The Chamber of Secrets, the sequel to the first Harry Potter film, the Philosopher's Stone.
Richard auditioned for the first eagerly-awaited film - due to be released towards the end of the year - and got down to the last 20, but this time he has bagged a substantial role as character Colin Creevy.
Richard, a pupil at Shaw House School, is no stranger to acting and has done theatre and television work before.
His mother, Yvonne, said: "Richard was turned down last time due to lack of acting experience but this time his look was perfect. He will have to work on his northern accent a bit more but I am sure he'll have no problems.''
