A YOUNG bookworm got more than he bargained for when he went to pick up a copy of the new Harry Potter children's novel.
John Bargh, 14, popped into Preston's Waterstones and was snapped by Citizen reporter, Sonja Karlsen, as a classic look-a-like of the novel's fictional character.
Film production giant Warner Brothers are looking for British children to audition for the new Hollywood blockbuster.
The Citizen called the American film company who urged him to get in touch.
John said: "I'm amazed. I'd really love to be in a Harry Potter film. It's the best thing that's happened to me."
