In an
interview with HarryLatino, HP actress Evanna Lynch tells her plans for the Juy release of
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, her relationship with J.K. Rowling, which House she thinks she’d be sorted into, Luna’s patronus and more.
Below are a few excerpts from the interview (thanks to
TheSnitch!). The entire interview is posted in Spanish, however, so I’ll offer up a free user tag to anyone who wants to translate the rest of it into English (see link above)!
UPDATE: We now have a translation of the full interview right
here!
Quote:
J.K.Rowling said that you’re a perfect Luna Lovegood, do you have any kind of contact with her?
Yes, I do, and I asked her about some of my theories about the books. She always listens to them, but she doesn’t say anything.
...
Where will you be on July 21st and with whom?
Oh, yes! I’ll go with my cousin and my sister. We’ll make ourselves T-shirts and we’ll go crazy, I think we’ll go to London because that’s where everyone will be, so it will be more exiting.
Then you’ll go to the book launch in London?
Yes, but I’m not sure about it. I’m still thinking, because there will be so many fans and probably they’ll recognize me, and I’ll be surrounded all the time.
We know that you like the shipper Harry and Hermione, but what about Luna?
My shipper is about Luna and Dumbledore. I know he’s dead and was a little older. (laughs) So I don’t know what will happen with Luna.
...
Why did you want to play Luna?
Because it’s very unusual to find people like her. Most of us have some kind of cover against the rest, but she doesn’t, and she’s conscious of it, and happy about it.
Could you describe your character?
She’s in fourth year and she’s new to Harry. Her father works at The Quibbler. She’s forgetful and close to Harry. Everyone thinks she’s different, but she doesn’t try to impress nobody. She always tries to be herself subconsiously and she accepts it that way.
Do you see part of you in her?
No, I wouldn’t say that she’s like me, but she’s someone I’d like to be like. I think that she might be a role model to follow. I think that people should show more how they are.
