While promoting the world premiere of her upcoming movie
My Name is Emily, Evanna Lynch briefly commented on the next two huge expansions of the Wizarding World - the London play
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, and the
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them film series.
Quote:
She’s a Potter fan at heart, though, and says she’s very excited about the upcoming London play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
“I just love that [J.K. Rowling] is constantly feeding us more. I don’t think any of us are willing to move on from those stories that we grew up with. I don’t think she wants to move on either. I love that she’s always reinventing it or finding new ways into it.”
A film adaptation of a Potter book written for charity, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, is also in the works, with Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne signed on for the lead role Newt Scamander.
Lynch is keen to be involved and says she has asked Warner Bros if she can play “some creature so you can’t see my face, but I’m there”.
“I’m fascinated by that world and to see what the wizards are like with American accents. I’d love to be [in it] but I think I have my place in the universe,” she declares.
A few more photos from the film's premiere at the Galway Film Fleadh in Ireland on Tuesday evening can be seen here. There's no set release date for
My Name is Emily at the moment. Evanna will next to be seen in a BBC drama based off comedian Lenny Henry’s teenage years, where she will play his Irish girlfriend.
