First interview with Evanna Lynch The Drogheda Independent has conducted an interview with 14-year-old Evanna Lynch, who has been cast as Luna Lovegood for the fifth installment in the Potter movie series. In it, Evanna talks about why she loves the books, saying, "...sometimes I'm stressed and I'm sick of things and I need to forget about them for a while, so in Harry Potter you're taken to this wonderful imaginary world where everything is so different."

When I went home that day I had to study for my French test as if everything was normal." You can see the full article here but free registration is required. Thanks to everyone who wrote in!
