| | | Evanna Lynch talks Luna Lovegood's serious side in Deathly Hallows & take on fame
Evanna Lynch recently gave her personal opinions on how Luna Lovegood had changed personality-wise in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I, how Luna would react to the fan phenomenon of the series, and why she believed she deserved the role above all other hopefuls. Quote:
"I just felt that if anyone was to play her, it should be me,” Lynch said. “It was like studying for a math exam. I studied to be her. I really, really like her. I think that parts of me are like [Luna], but I am different. I had to be in the audition. I said ‘I know that you may have ideas of who Luna is, but here is how I see her.’ "
Quote:
"I don’t think Luna changes. The thing about her is that she’s so relaxed about herself. She has to be a bit more serious than normal [in "Deathly Hallows"] and has to accept that times are dark. She always sees the positive and has a spirituality about herself. She doesn’t think that death is the end."
Quote:
Lynch has seen the overwhelming reaction from fans, and she often muses about how her character might handle all of the publicity that she has been getting.
“She wouldn’t avoid it. She rather likes talking to people. But I think that she would find it alarming — all these people shouting her name.”
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I has now been released worldwide. Click on the banner below to order tickets for the film at Fandango. Tickets are also on sale now in the UK; head over to the Harry Potter official UK Facebook for more information. |

Ooh! Evanna is awesome! I love how she knows she is Luna, and no one else is!
I love how she describes how Luna would deal with the publicity, I can see Luna doing that, Evanna really knows her character |

Evanna is so cool! She really does seem to be so much like I envision Luna to be. I am sure that there are differences, like she says, between her and the character, but there are an awful lot of similarities. Great interview.

Absolutely.  If there was anyone who ever deserved a role in Harry Potter, it was her because not only does she know her character extremely well, but she understands the Harry Potter series from a fan's perspective the way we do, which is very rare. She's one of us and I don't think I've ever envied her for having the role because there really is no one better.  She was one of the rare few who translated the character onscreen perfectly from the book without any falter.

| ♥ Mrs. Itachi Uchiha™ & MAJNOO! : Bleach & Kyo & Natsume ♥ [ Maxh!Jesh ] Mmhmm. She does an excellent job of portraying Luna. Casting has, in the past, reaaaally disappointed me at times, but she is definitely the Luna I imagine. |

She really is the perfect Luna. Of all the HP characters, I think the writers got Luna the most right and then found a perfect actress for her!

| its time to choose between what is right and what is easy
ya Evanna does a great job with Luna, and its great that she really does enjoy playing Luna, makes a huge difference in the performance.
i have to say i am a fan of her darker hair colour!

Evanna is, in my mind, Luna. I don't see a distinction between the character and the person as I do with some of the other actors. And that is, in no means, a bad thing. Evanna's brilliant.

She really was the perfect Luna. You know she must've worked hard, but honestly it doesn't show. Her performance seems effortless, unlike Emma at times.
