[halohali32]

I love her! and we have the same exact birthday! Which is soooo awesome!

[EmilyBlack01]

OMG, she is in Skins U.K.

[nintendoqm]

She seems so different now. But somewhat the same. Did she dye her hair black or is that her natural hair color? Which one orange or black?

[HelenaSalvator]

Franky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[eLiLLy815]

so, is the next book ever going to be made into a film? just wondering because the first one was released years ago.

[Arwelora1337]

That girl... Is the best youngest acctor in the world! If she keeps away from alcohol, Drugs and Smoke she is the celebrity that God created! She is a wonderful girl and she should keep it that way! I have'nt heard a girl like a cute voice like her ever! God Bless her soul!! <3

[HELPMEIDUNNOHOWTOUSE]

@Arwelora1337 yet as far as i can recall, her taking part in the new skins is goingto include drugs, alcohol and smoke :D

[Arwelora1337]

@HELPMEIDUNNOHOWTOUSE That is bad... look at her... she doesn't diserv drugs and shit.

[teddeeboo]

@Arwelora1337 LOL. To late for that, she's in the show 'Skins' :}

[Arwelora1337]

@teddeeboo Fuck America! Thank England for that wonderful acres! Now shes gonna grown up with Drugs and sure end up like Olsen twins or Lindsay :( If a hear that on the news I'm gonna cry...

[teddeeboo]

@Arwelora1337 LOL, you idiot. She's in the United Kingdom (original) Skins. America didn't do shit to her.

[Arwelora1337]

@teddeeboo ooooooh! :D My mistake! :) good for her! :) Love that girl :)

[teddeeboo]

@Arwelora1337 she's still in a show with sex, drugs, etc.

[Arwelora1337]

@teddeeboo Yeah but it's not her... :o

[teddeeboo]

@Arwelora1337 Yes it is o.O

[Arwelora1337]

@teddeeboo Shut up :o XD

[TweetaNova]

So whats she curious about that she shouldnt be? Sex? Drugs? At her age there is nothing unless her mother is plotting to kill the government and take over leadership of the country? Lol, I love her but she has no idea what to say in interviews :) Bless her! <3

[Chronosagaaddict]

oh she needs to grow up and I mean now..

[niewiemcotuwpisac666]

she has got potential ;p

[raikenable]

i lOvE Her!!! very very very so so so much much much!!!! RaikeN

[MsLittlegreengirl]

i like shes a really good actress but in the golden compass she sorta lost her accent :D but i really liked her in dustbin baby

[MsDakotaBlue]

@MsLittlegreengirl

Yeah. In Dustbin Baby she was soo cool! And she looked much older than in The Secret OF Moonacre. But that was same year. She´s great actress!

[MsDakotaBlue]

@MsLittlegreengirl

Yeah. In Dustbin Baby she was soo cool! And she looked much older than in The Secret OF Moonacre. But that was same year. She´s great actress!

[can2004yon]

happy birthday dakota!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[XxbLuEMoNsTeRxX]

View Channel please

[xxOLOSx]

she is tellingg much time emm.....,em....!!!

But my godness she is the best

[dafterknight]

she seems like a cool kid :)

[tlhxx]

I met her last night, she was at one of my friend's party. I was talking to her in the poool and she's actually quite a bitch in real life!

[AlexYan926]

what do you mean?

[JRTET21]

Sounds false.

[TheatreFanatic4eva]

I don't know who you could be talking about I have met Dakota and she is so nice!

[Lovinggirlhood]

I wish religious pple would stop saying mean thing about the book and movie. What the books are about (IFU READ THEM!) is an angel who CLAIMS to be god, when he is not, and the authority, NT THE REAL GOD GET A GRIP!

[Amatama7]

but its also about god. he dies at the end of the third book. the angels carry him around and will and lyra see him. he looks old and tired...maybe you should read it again.

But I dont care about that because Im not that religious.

[Lovinggirlhood]

thats nt god, his name begins with M i have read it many times, and i never even thought asbout teligion in it till sum1 mentioned something bout it

[Amatama7]

But the chapter when he dies is called "the end of the allpowerful one" or something like that (I dont know it exactly because I dont have the english book, this is just how I would translate it back)

[Lovinggirlhood]

that dosent mean god, the angel claiming to be him names himself that,n all powerful was becus he was a very strong angel

[Amatama7]

but the angel Metraton is not the guy who dies in the end!!

OK, metraton dies, too, but i ment the old man in chapter 31.

The guy who was helped by will and lyra and who turns to dust or something like that.

[HedghogB]

Dakota was in my brothers class! she was in year 6 when i was in year 2! how cool?1

[makuajunior]

besides that the authority that they go after to destroy is not even the god but someone claiming they were god

[Lovinggirlhood]

thank you! somebody understands

[can2004yon]

thanks for the interview

[DRB800party]

hey can someone give me her msn please!!??

[deathwatch962]

Lol why?? I have it but...why?

[Zeppelinrules2]

did anyone else noticed how terrible her acting was?

[raxi24]

terible interview like

[KunaiKO18]

I went to school with her lol

[midnightbluebabe13]

was she in any plays coz tbh she could get some more acting lessons

[andyB58]

She would get ploughed.

[Icedmadness66]

ibanezmaggot173- I totally agree, so sad, TAS!adore that book! love everything about them, and enjoyed the film! x

[mizzyPoppy]

she has a cute acsent and i like the character lyra because she knows no one is the boss of her, im just like her

[ibanezmaggot173]

I think she played Lyra very well, and whenever i read the books, i picture her as Lyra now, and her saying the words too. I always prefer to read the books but I think she's the best human being to play the part of Lyra.

Also, I think that the whole final chapter of T.A.S is as sad as Act 5 Scene 3 from Romeo and Juliet, who agrees?

[caterluna223]

@ibanezmaggot173 You could say that shes the best human being, I always thought that about other characters in other films too....that is, until you see different people playing them and then see that they're better, so you cant say that until youve seen everyone in the world play her role as lyra :P

[rhidiandavies1991]

@ibanezmaggot173 Nooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I know something horrible happens and I'm guessing it's to do with Lyra and Will? I've only just finished the Subtle Knife and am itching to start the Amber Spyglass.

[rhidiandavies1991]

@ibanezmaggot173 I realise this is an incredibly old comment, but I just finished TAS and it was one of the most bittersweet and painful experiences I've ever had reading a book. In an incredibly bizarre turn of events this "children's fantasy" trilogy, has re-ignited my belief in true love, and will shape me long after I've forgotten Lyra or Will or any of its characters.

[TheAwesomeGenius]

@rhidiandavies1991 What does TAS stand for?

[rhidiandavies1991]

@TheAwesomeGenius The Amber Spyglass broseph.

[saintsfan988]

i have her msn

[mg59111]

wats her msn

[bike1172]

what is it?

[andyB58]

who doesn't have her msn?

[DakotaBlueRichards96]

Perhaps the people that doesn't have her msn? :p I'm one of them.

[NadineDanilchenko]

me...

[omgsickofyourface]

shes deffinatly the perfect lyra, n ent she cute !

[59mar]

She's so gorgeous in this as the whole movie is !

It's a scandal they won't do the 2 sequels just because the vatican puts his veto...

what the heck is going on here?

I thought the times of inquisition are long gone !!--

[okuma0kuma]

why does the church fear the story so much lol

[filly07]

Because it's getting into sin, good and evil...And what the series itself represents - which is war against the Authority (i.e. God).

[okuma0kuma]

but the authority is a government system i thought ? heck lion witch and wardrobe movie was more anti christ than this movie even lord rings was darker

[filly07]

Naw, the Authority is, essentially God. That's why everyone was having such a fit about these books b/c the last book is all about tearing down "god" and with the angels that initially rebelled at the beginning of time. And no, the Chronicles of Narnia are ACTUALLY very, very religious. C.S. Lewis wrote them as metaphor's of the Bible, Christ, etc. XD

[P0mt3]

Yeah, but the church saying that the books are about literally killing God is still rubbish. People are going to believe what they believe, and some book or film isn't going to sway them.

[filly07]

Exactly. I mean, that's what everyone (and the Church) are thinking. But, we just have to remember that it's simply a fictitious work meant for enjoyment. If they upset you, then don't freakn read 'em, right? LOL So yeah, agreed. :)

[P0mt3]

Glad to see some sanity on YouTube for once, XD. Glad you agree.

[belidama]

She's a great Lyra! If she had the blonde hair she would be perfect..

[nixnickel]

I honestly believe that she is a good Lyra, I enjoy the books and I think she excecuted the role splendidly.

Stop being so rude towards her, she's an actress and she did her job.

Besides, all of our opinions won't reach her anyways.

Chill out guys.

[GurlCat123]

i aggree with you nixnickel

ive read the books also and i think she was amazingly brilliant as lyra

[minimaja81]

lyra was never GINGER! bleachblondejenna is spot on!

[rtwchronicals]

aye your "kinda like her" look like her a lil bit... i ges lol. aye whens the next film comeing out? cant wait... itl refresh my memory lol

[9katielovejobro9]

Dont be so rude. The author was part of the people who chose the cast and he obviously saw lyra in her so maybe its just you who doesn't think she looks like Lyra and you can say so without the rudeness

[BleachBlondeJenna]

your not like her AT ALL! you look NOTHING like her, you dont have the face of lyra that was described in the book, OR the blonde hair and blue eyes! your not like her at ALL! your even too tall! your the complete opposite of who they should have chosen. your the worst choice they could have possibly made.

[babylou2]

hahaha.

here here.

i went to an audition for it as a joke. i am a CRAP actress but i think even i could have done a better job. atleast i would have gotten a few laught for it if nothing else.

[Bubbisnr1]

I think she's great as lyra. and you are just jealous at her!!! LEAV HER ALONE!!! SHES A GREAT LYRA!!

[54spiritedwill54]

she's british and awesome!

[caitlinjane92]

HOLY CRAP!! She looks like Lindsey Lohan in this!

[saintsfan988]

[NinjaWarrior66]

ive read all the books of dark materials....she is so cool. Is that really her? she looks older....? The boy in book 2-3 sounds hot

[fireflare201]

Lyras susposed to be 11 but Dakota is 13

[Bubbisnr1]

[englishboy42]

[HisDarkMaterialsGirl]
