| | |  Newsround interviews Evanna Lynch - UPDATED
Newsround just aired their exclusive interview with Evanna Lynch, the Irish actress who is to appear as Luna Lovegood in ' Order of the Phoenix'.  
She is very softly-spoken with a gorgeous accent. In the clip Katie Leung, Dan Radcliffe and Emma Watson all said what they thought of her, with Dan and Emma agreeing that Evanna is exactly like Luna.
The full interview can be read here. UPDATE: The full video interview with Evanna can be watched here. The original report that aired on Newsround (featuring Dan, Emma and Katie as well as Evanna) can be watched here. Quote: How similar are you to Luna and why do you think people like her so much?
People like her because she's like a breath of fresh air. Because in the fifth book it gets so dark and Harry's always cross and then every time Luna comes in all the tension goes and she makes you laugh because she's so funny and really honest. I don't know how much I'm like her, there are some similarities but I'm more determined than her.
Quote: Do you ever look at the Harry Potter internet fan sites to see what people think of you?
Well not about me. At first when it was announced I did check but then I got kind of upset because, you know, there are some people who will love you and some people who won't, and it will never happen that everyone will agree, so you just have to try and do your best. I have to do what I think Luna will be, and if that pleases some people then that's good.
Quote: What was it like meeting JK Rowling, your favourite author?
Well just meeting JK Rowling was amazing because she created all this world. And all the fans, we all get so obsessed with it and then you met the one person who made it all up. It was just so amazing. And I was just so amazed that that she wrote this book and all of the films have happened. She was really, really nice and she's really easy to talk to. I was telling her my theories about what will happen and she just nodded. But she kept it secret, I don't want her to tell me.
Quote: Are you a really big Potter fan then?
I'm a huge fan. So it's not just like I wanted to be in a film. I wanted THIS part. I love the books - they make me feel happy. And it's something to do as well because of all the fans sites you can talk to people about it. The books are about magic so you can escape all the world here, and also they're about teenagers. They're normal teenagers, but they're magic, so you can still relate to them.
Quote: Tell me about your room and your pets
I redecorated my room recently. It's orange and I put my favourite quotes from the books in turquoise. I have loads of posters but they're too black so they make the room look really dark.
My cats - I have Luna who's just had kittens recently and we called one of them Dumbledore. They're nice but they're not like their characters. I had a cat called Crookshanks but he died.

One of the great things about the movies is that they have taken unknowns and turned them into stars. It's awesome ...great interview.

I think she looks the part. But when she spoke it put me off. I didn't imagine Luna as being Irish. No offence any Irish people on here.
