| | |  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.

She sounds really nice. I admit that I've had my doubts about her being Luna Lovegood, but I'm keeping my final decision on whether or not she's a good Luna for next year, when I've actually seen the movie. Otherwise it's just too hard to tell. | |

Aww. Evanna is so cute. She's good for the part; I think she'll do a great job. And it helps that the other members of the cast like her too xD

Splendid interview! I love Evanna! She seems like such a sweet person, and I have a feeling that she will portray an excellent Luna! Luna is my favorite character, and at first I didn't think that much of Evanna as the part, but now she's grown on me!
358 more days until the movie is in North American theatres! The anticipation is bugging me!  | |

Wow she's seems so cool  she's a fangirl of Jo *squeeeeeeeeee* I'm a total fanboy so it's cute that she would get to meet her and not want to know what's gonna happen in the next book
I also think it's sad people don't like her ... they haven't even seen her act, and I think she's right not to bother with fansites ... some fans can be morons. I for one can't wait for the movie to come out and see how she does.
She's so cool ... quick everyone we have to start a fanclub *fires the cannons*

I'm a huge fan. So it's not just like I wanted to be in a film. I wanted THIS part. Aside from the fact that I thinks she's perfect for the part, it's better that it's a REAL fan who was cast for it. I'm sure the other actors are fans as well, but it does sound like Evanna's like the rest of us, waiting and waiting for all things Potter to happen--but the only difference is she got cast for the movies.
She's not in Luna-mode, but in the pics--that's more like the Luna I imagined.
*whoops for the Luna-tics*

Im so glad that someone who is truly a Harry Potter fan will be in the films. Im excited for Evanna and cant wait to see her act in the next film. She seems really happy to have the part. Well I would be too if I was in her position!
