Evanna Lynch Releases Teaser from Her Memoir and Book Launch Event Date

We cannot wait to read Evanna Lynch’s memoir, The Opposite of Butterfly Hunting: The Tragedy and the Glory of Growing Up, set to be released this fall. The Luna Lovegood actor and vegan activist has just announced that she will be holding a launch event in London, England. Plus, we got a little teaser from the book itself.

In her memoir, Evanna talks about her childhood, growing up in the public eye, dealing with an eating disorder, finding her creative outlets, and many more topics close to her heart, in her own words. A live audience will be able to celebrate the book’s launch on her birthday, October 14, at Shoreditch Town Hall, London. Don’t worry – while it is only the live attendees who will each receive a copy of the memoir, the event will be livestreamed for an international audience. Butterfly readers around the world will be able to follow the event as the book launch takes off. Tickets are on sale now.

While we are waiting for the book and the launch event, we also got a little teaser. The quote Evanna shared reminds us of the story of the titular butterfly, a creature that survives, cocoons, transforms into something beautiful, and spreads its wings. This becomes an analogy that resonates with the actress’s story:

I felt that I was gazing through a window that reminded me there was beauty, colour, magic and wonder available to me out there, if only I would just step over the precipice.

Stay tuned to find out more about Evanna’s experiences. We will be keeping a close watch on the book as it takes flight. The Opposite of Butterfly Hunting is already available for preorder in hardback, e-book, and audiobook. It will be released on October 14 in the United Kingdom and October 19 in the United States.
