We're gonna try something new!

For this activity, take a book that you want to see a film/TV adaptation of (or even just a better adaptation, if one already exists), and list out all the key characters.

Now for the fun part - next to their names, put the actors/actresses you think would be perfect to play those characters. Plan out your whole fantasy cast list as if you were in charge of creating the movie!

Have fun :)

I’ve always wanted to see a Dianna Wynne Jones Chrestomanci Book as a movie! It’s a kids book and similar to Harry Potter, except each book in the series has different characters.

This is my Character List for the first book in the series: Charmed Life.

Synopsis: Cat and Gwendolen Chant are taken to live with Chrestomanci after the death of their parents. But when Gwendolen's magical talents go unacknowledged, she decides to get revenge.

Cat Chant (Orphan Boy, Main Character): Jack Dylan Grazer (IT)

Gwendolen Chant (Orphan Girl, Main Character): Mackenzie Foy (Twilight, The Conjuring)

Janet Chant (Gwendolen’s Double from World 12B): Mackenzie Foy

Chrestomanci (Powerful Wizard- Chrestomanci is only his work title): Benedict Cumberbatch (Dr. Strange, Sherlock)

Millie Chant (Chrestomanci’s wife): Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones, Solo)

Roger Chant (Chrestomanci’s son): Jeremy Ray Taylor (IT)

Julia Chant (Chrestomanci’s daughter): Ruby Barnhill (The BFG)
