Madonna bans Lourdes from auditioning for 'Potter' film

Jan 17, 2006, 15:01 GMT

Madonna reportedly banned her daughter from auditioning to be in the next 'Harry Potter' film.

The star stopped Lourdes, 9, from joining hundreds of other girls who tried out for the role of Luna Lovegood in new movie'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'.

Lourdes, who is also known as Lola, was said to be desperate to audition after film bosses issued an open call for a new star.

But sources say Madonna wants her daughter to wait until she is older to decide what she wants to do with her future.

An insider is quoted in Britain's Daily Star newspaper as saying: 'Lola printed off all the information and showed it to her mum. She's convinced she has the other-worldly qualities Warner Brothers are looking for.

'But Madonna pointed out they're looking for girls aged between 13 and 16, so she is much too young.'

The source added: 'Lola had a massive sulk and complained that producers would overlook her age because she looks and acts much older than her years.'

Last year, the 47-year-old singer revealed she is convinced Lourdes and her five-year-old son Rocco will both follow in her footsteps to become chart-topping musicians.

She revealed: 'They are both very musical. But Lourdes sings quite well and she's an incredible ballerina.'
