I have a friend who is an awesome actress (she does a lot of theater and stuff, and is dreaming that she could one day play Jill P.) and I think she'd be pretty good for a Jill, with what ya'll are saying.

What does everyone think of her?

For some reason, I always imagined plaid skirts, and blouses/button-down shirts for uniforms. I think that'd be cute, even though not very practical. Then again, what would the boys wear?
For hair, Lucy and Susan seem to have rather modern cuts, so I think the movie-makers will still pick something other than the '40s. I think shoulder-length would work great though. Slightly curled, wavy, but not perfectly straight like Georgie Henley's.
I still don't think red/orange hair would work. Don't we want Jill to blend in, and not stand out? I think red hair is stunning, but not for Jilly here.
Georgie Fan: I get where you are coming from. I think the hair color is right around where I think most people here want it. She has pretty eyes!

Special Mod note:

Just wanted to let everyone know that there was some concern among the moderators and administrators about posting personal pictures of friends in the CCD Forum. There is no explicit rule at present about pictures of friends but we do have this Cast and Character Discussion rule right now.

4.) If you wish to play a part in a Narnia movie, visit the Virtual Casting Review thread. If you are under the age of 18, you must have parental permission to post a picture of yourself. No picture collages, please, and no pictures over 300 x 400 pixels.

The rules will be updated soon to cover friends too. So until the rules are updated, no more personal pictures of friends and please follow the rules for yourself. It's just that NarniaWeb is concerned about the very young people who are are members here.

P.S. An exception would be if the picture is already public and linkable.

Very cool find, Jill and Lucy I think we've all pretty much agreed Jill should have a more "authentic to the time-period" haircut then Susan and Lucy have had.

Also I'm very sorry for the discomfort my post about knickerbockers caused
Where I live they mean a loosefitting shorts usually made of wool(see picture below)

I love the "knickerbockers" discussion! I see them as the picture above; in other words, shorts. "Knickers", however, are most definitely pants - British pants, as in, underwear. I love how the meaning of words change depending where they're said!

My old school turned co-ed during World War II, and the girls have always worn dresses, skirts and socks or skirts and tights, depending on era and age group. However, I can see how the Experiment House might do things differently.

There are some pretty nice school uniforms with blazer, tie, shirt etc.; after all, I wore one for six years. But it's possible to make them quite grim. I think the ones worn by the Pevensies in "Prince Caspian" are really nice.

Oh!! TIES! (Squeal!) I LOVE ties. That would be so cute!
Ok, sorry. That was my moment there. Ties would be adorable. Skirts, collared blouses, oh my gosh! I'm having so much fun with this.

Hm, I think Jill should be about 13-15 in The Silver Chair and that in The Last Battle she should be around 15-17. (: Just my opinion. I think its a little better in movies to cast older than in the books. Pretty much all the casting so far seems to have been older than they were in the books...

Hair: Any length, wavy, any colour but black, maybe bangs. Kinda messy.
Eyes: Any colour but blue, preferably hazel.
Skin: Pale with freckles, but not too many. Maybe a slight tan.
Height: Not too tall... about the same height or a little shorter then Eustace.
Body Shape: Average. Not skinny or chubby.

Well, that's just my opinion, and how I imagined her.

Miss Jill Pole should be played by an unknown

16yrs-to I-dont-care, just as long as she can pull it off.

Hair color should definitely be a medium/light brown, sort of wavy, not short maybe two to five inches past shoulder. Eyes should be hazel, doesn't matter if she has a big or small nose (seriously what is up with that today??)

Height should be exactly like Will Poulter's, not shorter, maybe one inch taller, but should be same height.

Tall? Jill can't be tall! In LB,

"By the Mane!" [Tirian] whispered to Eustace. "This girl is a wonderous wood-maid. If she had Dryad's blood in her she could scarce do it better."
"She's so small, that's what helps," whispered Eustace.
~ LB, Chapter 6

She's supposed to be short, shorter than Eustace. And she can't look too old, either. No older than, say, 14. She's still in school after Lucy has graduated.

Even though the book says she's small, I think it would be fine for the movie to make her a little taller. Not any more than an inch or two taller than Will Poulter though.

I say she should be 14-16 years old when they start filming, and around the same height as Eustace - not too tall, but a little shorter maybe!

@ DamselJillPole - I agree that her nose should be any size too!

I agree that her height should be about Eustace's. I don't really care if she is a bit taller or shorter. brownish-blonde hair would be perfect and I love the hazel eyes! Even though she is supposed to be 13-15 I don't mind an older actress playing her as long as they can pull it off!!! Ben Barnes pulled a 17 yr old caspian off at 26, and in my opinion, did an excellent job of it.

I agree that she needs to look no older than Will does now. The start of SC has Eustace back at school only a few months after VDT, and so we'll have to hope he doesn't suddenly look a lot older! By Last Battle these two are meant to be still at school while the others have already finished - since Lucy 'now' is clearly younger than the age Eustace is being played at (14) this would be explained another way when they get to it - perhaps Jill and Eustace are both studying to go to university, so are still at school, while Lucy has gone on to train for a job (nursing?)
