The BBC has conducted a new interview with the actress who will be playing Luna Lovegood in Order of the Phoenix. In it, she talks about her favorite book (OOTP) and what she'll be doing for the Deathly Hallows release:
This is my schedule - I get out of a summer course on Thursday night, go to the bookshop, start queuing, queue all day Friday with my biggest Harry Potter fan friends, then read all of Friday night, all of Saturday, and then Sunday is a mourning day. I guess some people might recognise me in the queue, but everyone is just going to be so excited for the book that they won't care about me.
Edit: It looks like the BBC took the article down for no reported reason. Hopefully the full article will be back online soon!

Both the Telegraph and the Gazette have posted new interviews with some of the Order of the Phoenix cast. The Telegraph interview features Katie Leung, Bonnie Wright, Matthew Lewis, and Evanna Lynch. They each talk about their characters in the Order of the Phoenix movie and how their roles in the movies have affected their lives. Bonnie Wright explains why she decided to go for the role of Ginny Weasley:
Why did you first go for the role? My brother had read the books and told me that I reminded him of the character Ginny Weasley but I didn’t really know anything about it at that point. Then I heard that they were doing auditions and he told me I should go along. I never really realised at that point how big the films would become. I don’t think any of us did.
The second interview, conducted by the Gazette, also contains a question-and-answer session with Bonnie Wright, Evanna Lynch, and Matthew Lewis. When asked about Neville's fate, Lewis answered: "A lot of people have come up to me and said, 'You're going to die, mate.' Cheers! But I like to think he'll be there fighting to the end. If he does die, I'd like it to be really heroic, saving someone else's life."

The BBC has a new interview with Bonnie Wright, Matt Lewis, Katie Leung, and Evanna Lynch online now. When asked what his highlight of filming the fifth movie was, Matthew replied: "I love comedy, I love making people laugh - but what I really loved this year was tackling the emotional side of Neville. That was a big challenge for me because Neville has always been a light-hearted, humorous character and I have never had to do anything as deep and emotional as that before."

Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood) has done a new interview with the NY Post where she discusses landing the coveted role, some of her theories on the books, and more.
As a fan, are you a shipper? Who do you like? I ship all the normal ones - Ginny/Harry, Ron/Hermione, blah blah blah. But I do have a strange one, which is Luna/Dumbledore. I think they would be quite perfect. They're both so detached, so otherworldly and so comfortable with themselves and they have this uncommon fearlessness of death. They also both have quirky hobbies and deep minds and I can see them getting along a storm. I don't see this ship sailing, of course. It's just one which I think could have had potential, aided along by a time-turner.
Also, Emma Watson did an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald where she talks about kissing Ron in the sixth film:
"Kissing Rupert's going to be sooo awkward," Watson says, screwing up her cute rosy-cheeked face. "I'm trying not to think about it...it's all part of the job I guess. Don't tell him I said that. Rupert's lovely. Girls would probably give their left arm to be in my position, so I'm certainly not complaining."

Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood) made an appearance on an RTE radio show where she talked about being a "child actor," her part in the films, and how she felt when she got the role in the Potter movies. It's an interesting interview, so click here to listen. (Thanks to Lucy for the tip.)

In a new interview with Irish Central, Evanna Lynch, the actress who plays Luna Lovegood in the Potter series discusses her character and her role in the upcoming Half-Blood Prince film. "Luna doesn’t change but her position changes in this new film. Most people are aware of her reputation for being crazy. She’s certainly picked on by the other students." She also goes on to talk about her aspirations for performing in London's West End, the lessons she has learned and a potential Dumbledore-Luna relationship (in an alternate universe, of course). Thanks to David for sending this in!

In a new interview with EvannaLynchFans, Luna Lovegood actress Evanna Lynch talks about the Lovegoods and filming for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Which part of Deathly Hallows are you most excited about seeing turned into film? I imagine everyone will say this-the walk through the woods and Platform nine and three quarters. It was such an experience to read, such a catharsis, I remember reading it for the first time and I felt like I could hardly keep up with my own eyes rushing across the pages. It will be so exciting to see how they translate that experience onto film, to see what someone else made of it. And of course the Lovegood house!! I have seen it being made from scratch and been in it and all around it and it is absolutely beautiful, much more vivid and detailed and alive than anything I could ever dream up even while reading the books. I hope they give it good screen time, it truly deserves it. I'm so excited just to see Mr.Lovegood in action. Luna has always been so different and jarring to those around her, it will be so nice to see someone with the same energy and hear his lines, you can't beat the Lovegoods for unpredictability. Check out the rest of the interview here to read more about Evanna Lynch herself and her role in Half-Blood Prince.

Evanna Lynch recently spoke with EvannaLynchFans.com about what she's been up to lately. The Luna Lovegood actress also offered some encouragement to people reaching for their goals: I'm sure many of you have or have had the same dream and have encountered all the apparent obstacles. People like to hype it up and make is sound impossible, unattainable, too good for you... Just the other day I was trying to clean out my desk (anything other than study exactly!) and I came across the letter that I received from the HP casting dept. It was a reply to a tape I sent long before the open audition, long before the release of Goblet of Fire even, on my own initiative. They did reply and kindly told me that there were no openings on the film at the minute and that also nationality played a big role in casting. Plainly put, it looked like the cards were against me and I'm sure I felt that way at the time. I'm not saying this to big myself up ('cause I know they use this on press releases etc. etc.), I mean to remind you how fine the line is between reaching a goal and not. I wasn't an actress with connections or anything particularly distinguishing. This is why I hate the probability chapter in my maths book. Manifestation doesn't take into account how many chances you have. If it happens it happens and it didn't matter what anyone else told you. Sorry to annoy any mathematicians out there but I don't believe in probability! So strip away all the hype, because anything anyone tells you is just...chat, and it's really up to you and you'll get nowhere if you don't at least believe you deserve everything you dream about.

In a recent interview, Rhys Ifans - the actor who will portray Xenophilius Lovegood - commented on how thrilled he was to be cast in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. His reaction? "I got it man!" He also spoke highly of Evanna Lynch: "She's amazing," he said. "If there's a question on set -- and they have a plethora of researchers and people who've read the books -- but if anyone needs to know ANY miniscule detail about anything that has happened in any Harry Potter novel from start to finish, they ask her. She knows it all. So it was quite intimidating. I was working with this expert in Harry Potter. But she was a joy to work with. All of them, all of the kids or whatever you call them, it was just a great couple of weeks." To read the full interview with Mr. Ifans, click here!

The actress who plays Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter films yesterday wrote a piece for The Harry Potter Alliance where she discusses how we can feel better about our bodies when we sometimes don't:

If you don’t use your body to its full potential, as a means of achieving your dreams, you are wasting it. You are no better off than someone who is locked in a total body bind curse. At the same time I realise how difficult it is to overcome this state of mind, and I know what a firm, unrelenting grip these thoughts can get on you. A few years ago I was haunted by destructive, negative thoughts like these. I used to get so angry and frustrated because I felt my mind didn’t match up with my body and that it prevented me from things I knew I was capable of doing. It took me a while to realise that all of this was an illusion. If I continued to abuse my body by giving in to my negative thoughts, I didn’t deserve to have the health and fitness I was blessed with.

Evanna's piece is very well-written and thoughtful - be sure you read it at this link!

In a new interview with Evanna Lynch, who plays Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter films, the actress opens up with HF magazine about loneliness, her inspirations and whom she would like to work with, again, in the future.

"Mostly I’d like to work with my friends again. I’d love to work with anyone from Harry Potter again as we had such an unbelievable time together. I think the reason the Potter films are so good, too, is because everyone gelled so well. When you’re with people you trust, you don’t care how ridiculous you look. I’d love to work with my Potter friends again because the trust is already there and we could be as ridiculous as possible."

The full article has since been removed from the website, but SnitchSeeker has it here in it's entirety, along with some gorgeous photographs from the cover shoot.

David Baron - "Bloody Brilliant"
Warwick Davis - "Amazing, Magical"
David Heyman - "A Gift"
Evanna Lynch - "Crazy Fun"
David Yates - "Spectacular, Global"
Jason Isaacs - "ALL DONE!"

Which one was your favorite and how would you sum up the Harry Potter franchise in just two words?

Are you still trying to decide whether or not to attend LeakyCon 2012 this summer? Well, here are two (2) BIG reasons to help you make your decision:

  • Evanna Lynch - The actress who portrayed Luna Lovegood
  • Scarlett Byrne - The actress who portrayed Pansy Parkinson

That's correct, Evanna Lynch and Scarlett Byrne have once again confirmed to attend the biggest Harry Potter Conference of the year. These two beauties attended last year's convention and were a huge hit as they intermingled with fans, danced all night long, and took part in some of the special events throughout the weekend.

In fact, this year Evanna is even planning on doing her own program (details of which will be announced at a later date), which will be FREE with your paid registration.

LeakyCon is for fans of Harry Potter, by the fans of Harry Potter!

J.K. Rowling's stories have shared with all who have read them the messages of friendship, community and love. These same three principals are what the LeakyCon conference is all about, with the very important addition of pure fun! Anyone over the age of 13 may attend LeakyCon (fans aged 13, 14, and 15 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian or chaperone; fans 16 and 17 years of age must have consent from their parent or guardian).

All of the events and activities will take place in and around the Chicago Hilton Hotel on Michigan Avenue right in the heart of the city. Chicago is one of America's finest metropolitan centers and boasts an embarrassment of riches when it comes to attractions, museums, shopping and nightlife.

Members of MuggleCast and MuggleNet will also be in attendance, so be sure to join us for this fun-filled conference.

To register now, head on over to the LeakyCon 2012 registration page, and get ready to have the best 4-day weekend of your entire life!
