Birthplace: Termonfeckin, County Louth, Ireland
Short biography: Evanna Lynch (born August 16, 1991) is an Irish actress, from Termonfeckin, County Louth, Ireland. It was revealed on February 2, 2006 that she has been cast as Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. She started filming at the end of February at Leavesden Studios in London. Lynch is a huge Harry Potter fan and, according to her family, is "obsessed" with the series. In 2003, Lynch met Potter author J. K. Rowling and received a signed copy of, coincidentally, OOTP. She was let out of hospital to do so. Lynch had told the author that she would never be cast in the film because she lived in a place called Termonfeckin, where it was too quiet for anything exciting. She received a letter from Rowling that responded, "Don't be too hard on Termonfeckin, it does have a lovely name." Rowling met Lynch for a second time on the Leavesden lot in the early stages of the fifth film's production. After a long chat, Rowling had one thing to say about Lynch portraying Luna: "perfect." She has two cats, one called Crookshanks, and the other called Luna.
