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.”
