But, amazingly, none of the three lookalikes we spoke to have had a single booking all year!

"I don't think there's been any work because nothing new has come out this year until now - no film, no book," said Harry-lookalike Tom, 12, from Newbury.

"I got a call about going to stand around when the next film opens but it came to nothing."

Muggle money

Lucy, 12, from Avon, who looks like Hermione, said she'd been told that some lookalike jobs could pay between £250 and £1,000.

"But I've not had any work since December," she told CBBC Newsround Online.

Disappointed

Harry-alike Neil, 11, from Derbyshire, became a lookalike after entering a competition in a national magazine.

"I'm kind of disappointed I'm not getting any jobs," he said.

The boss of their agency, Lookalikes Ltd, Francesca Krachai, reckons there are two main reasons why there's been no work.

• It's quite difficult for children to be available for work in the evenings
• The fees are usually too much for appearances at birthday parties

The film's out on general release in the UK on 15 November. Look out for our new-look Harry Potter special section next week!
