The irony of this is situation is that I always found Evanna to possess a beauty unlike the “normal definition.” I’ve always admired her uniqueness and devotion as a fan, like the rest of us. I've said this time and time again (and I’ve always meant it), but Evanna, at least in my eyes, has a unique beauty that very few people possess. So it’s a shock to hear that she once suffered from her own body image issues when I’ve always thought of her as nothing more than beautiful in every which way. It’s sad that our society lets us believe that to be "beautiful" we have to give them more than who we are; that we have to enhance ourselves in some way, but at least there are people fighting back against this.

I’m pleased to hear that J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter played a part in bringing her out of that dark place and putting things into perspective. Many people laugh when I say that Harry Potter taught me my life lessons, but people forget that the pen is mightier than the sword and in this case it seems to prove just that, especially now that Evanna chose to write down her struggles.

I’m proud of Evanna for coming forward with her personal struggles. I do hope that people are inspired by her words and able to take something from them into their body image struggles. I’ve always said, but I can’t think of anyone else who deserved the role more than Evanna.
