Trivia and Quotes

Quotes

[on why she loves the Harry Potter novels] "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. But also the main characters are completely real and modern so you can relate to them."

(imdb.com)

[On receiving the role of Luna] I had to keep it quiet for days and pretend everything was normal which was hard considering my dream had just come true. When I went home that day I had to study for my French test as if everything was normal.

[about acting with the other cast] It was this feeling the whole time like I shouldn`t be here among all these stars and professionals. I was trying to keep my distance because I wanted to watch everyone. But they want you to feel at home and be part of it, and it became normal very quickly.

On auditioning for the role of Luna - I really wanted to go, because if I didn`t I never would have known, and I`d have been annoyed with myself. They had to pick someone, so why couldn`t I have a go? It`s like in the script, when Harry`s trying to encourage some students to be in Dumbledore`s Army, he says, "Think of all the great wizards in history, and if they can do it, why can`t we?" It was kind of like that.

[on her parents` feelings about her audition for the role of Luna in the Harry Potter films] "Well, my Mum didn`t want me to go. She thought I didn`t have a hope. And then I told my Dad and he thought I should go because he knew I really wanted it, so he brought me."

on why she loves the Harry Potter novels] "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. But also the main characters are completely real and modern so you can relate to them."

[on why she is similar to her character Luna] "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."

[on her sudden fame] "It was mad. I went into school and all of my Year were at the windows and they were all waving when I came in. And then all these camera people starting coming into the school and all the other girls were outside waving and I stayed inside and they didn`t notice me. I think they had dyed my hair at that point so it was different and I had to have security people."

As a younger child, she continuously wrote to JK Rowling and, in one such letter, commented about how much she would love to act in a Harry Potter film but doubted this would happen as she lived in this sleepy little place called Termonfeckin, where nothing ever happened. And to Evanna`s surprise, Rowling wrote back, "Don`t be too hard on Termonfeckin; it does have a brilliant name! And I come from a very sleepy place.".

Her father flew her to London to the open audition for the part of Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007). Her mother did not believe she had much of a chance of winning the role so initially refused to let her apply.

She owns a cat named Luna. When Luna has kittens, she named one of them Dumbledore.

In 2003, aged eleven years old, Evanna was disappointed that she would miss the release of the novel "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" as she had been hospitalised. However, the hospital released her for a morning on the day of the launch where a local bookstore arranged for her to receive a copy that was signed by author J.K. Rowling. On the day, Evanna was dressed in a Harry Potter t-shirt and having scrawled `I love Harry Potter` down her arms. She had also painted her nails blue with Harry Potter written on every second nail and the golden snitch on every other one as well as sporting painted-on black Harry Potter glasses on.

On January 23rd 2006, she discovered she had beaten out over 15,000 girls, from all over the United Kingdom and Ireland, for the much coveted role of Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007).
