Here I am, reluctantly tiptoeing into the world of twitter at last...helloooo!
Just to confirm: I have never had a public twitter or facebook until now. All other accounts are FAKE! Working on getting this verified!!!
Evanna also visited the students at Dublin City University, more specifically a class dedicated to Harry Potter literature for primary school students.
Evanna
spoke about her part in the film series, working alongside costars Daniel Radcliffe, Devon Murray, and Alan Rickman, as well as her relationship with author J.K. Rowling.
On Luna Lovegood:
Quote:
“I don’t think she is weird, she is completely herself. She is okay with being eccentric and a little different,” she said.
On J.K. Rowling:
Quote:
She met author JK Rowling about five times and had written to her before getting the part. “She’s so warm. I’m going to write to her and tell her about this course. She would be really chuffed about it.”
On Daniel Radcliffe and Devon Murray:
Quote:
“He really appreciates that he has been given so much. You could have had an actor who said he was sick of being typecast.”
The other Irish actor on set, Seamus Finnigan, is great fun to be around and “totally enjoys himself”.
Evanna admitted she never worked properly alongside Rickman, who played Severus Snape in the series, but stated, “I hear he is a nice guy.”
