Pretty sure Evanna Lynch is responsible for giving an entire generation a thing for Irish accents.

“I did speak about being in Harry Potter long before I was in the films. I just had this feeling I was going to be in it. I wrote to her [J.K. Rowling] when I was going through the eating disorder. I told her that it was the only thing that took my mind off. Anyone who has gone through it will know that that’s a very powerful thing, to take your mind off what you’re going through. Everywhere I turned… my siblings were angry with me, or my parents were worried about me and this was something that gave me a lot of solace. I wrote to her when I was going through that and said thank you. And I sent it to her editor and her assistant obviously read it, and was touched by the letter and gave it to her and she wrote back. She wrote a handwritten letter. We started a correspondence and we actually became pen pals, that’s when I was about 11. I wrote to her about Luna specifically saying she really frees me
because she’s such an eccentric, and she’s so weird and everyone
acknowledges she’s weird and for one second it doesn’t make her question herself. I think I said I wanted to play her.” — Evanna Lynch [x]
“I read books to escape from my
surroundings and to make me forget about my own troubles. And Harry
Potter does that.” – Evanna Lynch
@justsaya @gaylittlepieceofsh1t you guys deserve to see this post if you haven’t already.
“I credit the greatest part of my growth over the last 7 years to my
acting teachers and classes that I attended in LA. Before doing that
work I felt like I could have been absolutely anybody in a really awful,
hollow way. I had no strong sense of who I was or what my worth was
outside of being Luna, and yet I no longer felt like Luna. It was a very
strange, lonely, unknowable time and I felt nothing was anchoring me to
the world. Working with great acting teachers who made me do deep
self-introspection and showed me that I already had opinions
and convictions and something to say to the world made me grow up and be
more assertive in my life and work. I’m no longer walking into rooms
looking for someone to tell me who I am, I know who I am without loudly
having to assert my presence, and that’s given me the courage to
manifest the opportunities I want.” — Evanna Lynch [x]
“My life has a very distinct before-and-after line.
Before June 2000 I went to a normal state school and life was ordinary.
My dad sold Formula One memorabilia and my mum made wedding cakes and
looked after five kids. I was very grounded. When I got the part of Ron
Weasley, I left school straight away and things have never been the same.” – Rupert Grint (2018)
Saw Rupert Grint on the cover of The Radio Times. Is he gonna be in a Poirot or something?
Yep. He’s playing a police inspector opposite John Malkovich in a BBC adaptation of ‘The ABC Murders’.
All I know is that front cover of The Radio Times at this time of the year is a big deal.
Agreed.
