New interview with Evanna Lynch
New interview with Evanna Lynch The BBC has conducted a new interview with the actress who will be playing Luna Lovegood in Order of the Phoenix. In it, she talks about her favorite book (OOTP) and what she'll be doing for the Deathly Hallows release:
This is my schedule - I get out of a summer course on Thursday night, go to the bookshop, start queuing, queue all day Friday with my biggest Harry Potter fan friends, then read all of Friday night, all of Saturday, and then Sunday is a mourning day.

I guess some people might recognise me in the queue, but everyone is just going to be so excited for the book that they won't care about me.
Edit: It looks like the BBC took the article down for no reported reason. Hopefully the full article will be back online soon!

Posted by IAteUmbridge Jun 18th 2007

Aw I love Evanna. I can already tell she's going to be perfect as Luna. I love that she's such a huge fan! "I guess some people might recognise me in the queue, but everyone is just going to be so excited for the book that they won't care about me." Awwww


Posted by CFplayer19 Jun 18th 2007

awesome! I'll read now.. Evanna is really cool-- a really dedicated fan ~MM~


Posted by Hollie Jun 18th 2007

I love Evanna :D Not much I can say till the interview goes back up. OT: HAS ANYBODY WON ONE A TICKET TO THE MIDNIGHT SIGNING IN LONDON? I'm waiting to see whether the emails arrived earlier this week or will be arriving later today...


Posted by kissmysnitchumbridge Jun 18th 2007

If that sweet girl thinks she can just walk into a group of Harry Potter fans while they are waiting around, bored, yet excited, without being bombarded, man has she got another thing coming.


Posted by harrypotterfan20202 Jun 18th 2007

yey! gonna read it right now..


Posted by fell4snape Jun 18th 2007

Evanna, you're way too cool. And you're just like me, planning out how it's going to go that day. XD I am, indeed, insanely, ridiculously, indescribably excited. Basically? I'll be in the midst of a summer course when the book comes out, but I won't let any work interfere with it. July 20 is bound to be the greatest day ever. 11:30ish, I'll head out to the bookstore. Soon as I get my hands on it, I'm taking it straight home, reading straight through the morning, and simply not putting it down til I'm done. I think at least one mourning day will be required, yes. Or perhaps a year.

grrr. the link isn't workin! ~MM~


Posted by anitaFELTON Jun 18th 2007

hahahaha yeah your right kissmysnithumbridge..by the way nice name!


Posted by kissmysnitchumbridge Jun 18th 2007

thnx anitafelton


Posted by dglaney Jun 18th 2007

That sounds like a plan to me. I'm starting to like her more and more. I'm in a ballet summer session during the release date but my Mom is coming down and we're planning to go to B&N, get our que tickets (because barnes & nobles closes and then reopens). We'll go see the movie, then come back as soon as the store reopens to get the book! I'm going to try and read it nice and slow though. Make the Potterness last. I'm also going to avoid all telephone calls, e-mails, etc, just incase for spoilers. As for the mourning day, it might turn into a mourning year.


Posted by lostxlikexalice Jun 18th 2007

Haha, woo, same plans as me. :D Yes, Sunday will most definitely be a day of mourning.


Posted by crazyy Jun 18th 2007

ahhh! im so excited. and i just cant hide it! :)

i can't see it


Posted by Lynn Jun 18th 2007

Awww Evanna rocks!!!!


Posted by HJaneWeasley Jun 18th 2007

I LOVE EVANNA!


Posted by Sprut6 Jun 18th 2007

In my opinion Evana's people probably had BBC take it down since she discusses her plans for the book release and there might be safety concerns or something. To be honest I think Mugglenet should take that part down as well.

hahaha i love Evanna! she sounds so cool seriously! can't wait to see her in action... hehe she is only 10 days older than me, how cool is that!


Posted by LunaLouise Jun 18th 2007

Dead link, guys !!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by Lorcan_Patrick_McCarthy Jun 18th 2007

Security concerns for a teen girl who happens to play a Harry Potter character? It seems rather unlikely, but...stranger things have happened and with all of this stuff going on in the world, who knows. (the 700 member pedophile chatroom rings a bell right now...) I like Evanna, because she knows the books and was a fan before the movie, rather than after and we know she actually likes it, instead of trying to drum up fans or the like.


Posted by pHoAtRtReYr Jun 18th 2007

Notice how the message with those "concentrate on a wish and it'll come true" things is posted by an annoying person named peeves?


Posted by luv_hp_4ever Jun 18th 2007

I LOVE that she is a harry potter fan!!! and yeah, that is probabaly what my schedules going to be like too! to end with a mourning day :(! I can't believe it's almost here! 32 DAYS!!!!!!!


Posted by member_of_SPEW Jun 18th 2007

Yes! Evanna is great. Contrast her great fan obsession with that of the actress who plays Cho - who wanted to go shopping instead of trying out!


Posted by WeepingWillow Jun 18th 2007

Has anyone been able to FIND another page that has up the interview? Just because BBC took it down doesn't nec mean that someone didn't copy it before hand. So if anyone finds it would you let the rest of us in on it?! Cause I Heart Luna!!! ~Willow


Posted by FebFab94 Jun 18th 2007

Hey! I'm glad Evanna is Luna, but i want 2 read the interview SOOOO bad!


Posted by vethraxi Jun 18th 2007

I'll say again what so many of you have said...She is insanely cool. I love her.


Posted by WeepingWillow Jun 18th 2007

I only could find a preview page of the interview!!! But I'll keep looking! Warning- I do not own the rights to any of this stuff! "Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood) from the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie recently spoke about her love of the books and being forced the read the first one. But she forced me to read The Philosopher's Stone. She read me a chapter when I was in bed, and I took it from her because I loved it so much. Tin-Tin went on the bottom shelf. I love Harry Potter because it's fantasy. It's like in our world but somewhere else, so you can escape from all the boring stuff of this world that you don't want to know about. On getting the last book: This is my schedule - I get out of a summer course on Thursday night, go to the bookshop, start queuing, queue all day Friday with my biggest Harry Potter fan friends, then read all of Friday night, all of Saturday, and then Sunday is a mourning day. I guess some people might recognise me in the queue, but everyone is just going to be so excited for the book that they won't care about me......"


Posted by K8y Jun 18th 2007

Evanna seems great - I'm glad she's just as much of a die-hard fan as we are! I can't wait to see her as Luna. By the way everyone, a new magazine scan has been released and it says that the name of Fred and George's joke shop is apparantly called 'Weasley & Weasley' insted of 'Weasley's Wizard Wheezes' in the movie - bit disappointed about that, but hey... anyway, back on topic - I CAN'T WAIT FOR OOTP!! I was watching TV earlier and it metioned OotP and talked about HBP being in production - I went crazy! I'm soooo excited!!!! *must calm self*


Posted by FebFab94 Jun 18th 2007

WHY DOES IT NOT WORK YET!!!!! I THINK THAT I WILL GO MAD IF IT DOESN'T COME UP!! DON'T YOU AGREE? I LOVE EVANNA!


Posted by HPgeek4LIFE Jun 18th 2007

that sounds like a really cool interview. il be sure to read later. no time now.


Posted by lovexlaugh_potter Jun 18th 2007

i freaking love that she is a fan.


Posted by july21tillhp7 Jun 18th 2007

lol kinda weird......


Posted by mwluvshp Jun 18th 2007

Wow! Her plans for reading Deathly Hallows sounds a lot like mine!!!! She is so sweet, I can not wait to see her as Luna in OOTP. She Rocks!!!!!


Posted by snottlebie7 Jun 18th 2007

finally, an hp actress who's a real fan of hp


Posted by veela4lifex0x Jun 18th 2007

awww...that girl is such a sweetheart in real life! she is the best person they could have picked for luna! i hope she doesn't get attacked by fans while online though...lol


Posted by ginny101 Jun 18th 2007

I think Evanna is fabulous. She is so real and sincere and I love how her love of Harry Potter got her the part as Luna. Her plans are almost the same as mine!!!!!


Posted by hpintwense06 Jun 18th 2007

cool! can't wait to read it!


Posted by saidin_rules Jun 18th 2007

The day after DH is my birthday, so i don't really want to be mouring tooooo much!!


Posted by bermuda_muggle Jun 18th 2007

She is too sweet, I love the fact that she is sucha die hard fan. However she is upsettingly naïve if she thinks she will be able to just waltz into line, and not be bombarded by fans. I feel sorry for the staff of the bookstore in which she hopes to pick up her copy of DH, they will have more than they bargained for on their hands.


Posted by RoNSGirL777 Jun 18th 2007

OMG me and her are like twins i got the same plan instead everyone isn't going to care about me because im a nobody like most of the people i kno lolz i cant wait to see her on ootp she is gonna be great i think her and harry really connect she's a great actress and i hope to see her in other movies ily
