Irish Central has a new interview with Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood) during which she talks about Half-Blood Prince, mentioning that her promotional work will take her to Denmark and Poland. She also discusses school, the set and more!
“My life really hasn’t changed as much as you’d imagine. I mean, more people recognize you, and in Ireland that’s especially true because it’s so small. Over there everyone knows you,” she says.
“Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” is without doubt the darkest chapter of the whole J.K. Rowling series, and in it Luna remains steadfast as both a defender of the wizarding world and as a comfort to Harry in his darkest hour. Lynch says the new film remains faithful to the book and her character.
“Maybe I shouldn’t say this, because it might get me in trouble. But there’s this big thing among people who are fans of the books. It’s a thing they do as fans called ‘shipping,’ which is short for relationship. The fans create ideal pair ups based on the books. There are some really crazy ones. I don’t know if I should say. But some people think Luna and Professor Dumbledore would make a great pair in another universe. I mean obviously he’s far too old for her, but their personalities completely match. They’re calm and accepting and quirky and I think they’re both really creative. I’d say they’d be fun together.”
According to DanRadcliffe.de, Matt Lewis (Neville) and Evanna Lynch (Luna) will be attending a Half-Blood Prince premiere next month in Zurich, Switzerland. The date has not been announced yet but I will let you know when it has.
There is also a contest for fans to attend the special screening, with a competition offering two premiere tickets. The contest will be open until July 2nd; go here to enter!
