| | |  JKR updates diary: Evanna is "perfect"
JK Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, has updated her online diary (fondly referred to as her 'blog' by many fans). While this update does not reveal any new information about book seven or any news about the 'wombat' tests, she does make reference to the Order of the Pheonix movie. While in London for the British book awards she was able to visit the set. She writes, Quote:
Apart from the pleasure of seeing Tom Felton, Devon Murray, Alfred Enoch, Sitara Shah (and waving through the door at Bonnie Wright, who was busy being tutored), I had a great time talking to Dan and Matthew about books, Rupert about how his sisters never wind him up, Oliver and James about how difficult they find it to wind each other up, and Emma about Hermione's love life. Also met, and had a long chat, with Evanna Lynch (Luna), about whom there is only one possible thing to say: perfect.
There is also a cute rant about the troubles of finding paper to write on while in the middle of town. Also, in the rumours section, Jo comments about the brief marriage between Emerson Spartz ( Mugglenet) and Melissa Anelli ( TLC) (ironically occuring on April 1st).
Thanks for the update Jo. UPDATE: There is also an update in the extra stuff section in which Jo talks about the pressure on girls to be thin. Quote:
I went to the British Book Awards that evening. After the award ceremony I bumped into a woman I hadn't seen for nearly three years. The first thing she said to me? 'You've lost a lot of weight since the last time I saw you!'
'Well,' I said, slightly nonplussed, 'the last time you saw me I'd just had a baby.'
What I felt like saying was, 'I've produced my third child and my sixth novel since I last saw you. Aren't either of those things more important, more interesting, than my size?' But no – my waist looked smaller! Forget the kid and the book: finally, something to celebrate!
Thanks to Erica for the tip!  | |

I can't wait to see her and everyone else in OotP! I really really think she won't be such a let down like Katie playing Cho. evanna is growing on me but how can you say katie was a bad cho. she's a great actress. if you cant say anything nice dont say anything at all. people who critisise other people like that are only jelous.

I've always liked Evanna since the moment I found out she was going to be cast as Luna. JK saying that she is perfect, just confirms that she will do justice to the role. Yay!! Can't wait to see the movie!!!  | |

I'm glad that she found Evanna perfectly cast for the role. She looks very pretty from the pictures I've seen of her so far and I can't wait to see how well she does on the screen.
Congrats on your first post, Lupin Jr! I'll be looking forward to seeing more news from you in the future!
Also, Jo wrote a little essay on the pressures of being 'thin' in today's society in the Extras section. It's an excellent read for everyone.

Sitara? Didn't she used to play Parvati before Shefali? Maybe Jo just got the wrong name or else they've changed actresses, again. Weird. Quote:
And there's a university here! What do the students use? Don't tell me laptops, it makes me feel like something out of the eighteenth century.
lmao. I use paper, and lots of it! [Though more often that not it's on fiction and not lecture notes. Naughty me]. Then again perhaps they all use dictaphones [a.k.a the lazy way of taking notes]. Quote:
Michael Gambon was always taller than me, and very lovely he looked in his new robes, too.
New robes? Maybe the "hippy" accusations will stop now. Or is that just wishful thinking? Quote:

Like Jo said, visit LeakyMug.com and you'll see what she means. Quote:

Yeah, she is.

I love JKR and how she writes even the simpliest of things, like her diary. The statements that she makes are always perfect! If JKR thinks Evanna is perfect, I'm most assured that she certainly is!

JKR is the best!! And funny to boot too! Love the fact that she cares about anorexic girls! good to hear she likes Evanna. Plus Evanna is like a huge fan of hers. It would have been a dream come true for her. Im so envious of that girl. It would soo cool to meet JKR in person!!

Glad that she thinks Evanna is perfect as Evanna IS perfect! All the people they have cast have been perfect!(Dan,Emma, Rupert,Katie,Devon,Tom,Shefali,Afshan,Bonnie,James and Oliver.
Sorry,off subject)
So, I am glad that JKR said that as I totally agree!
