In a new interview with ETOnline, Evanna Lynch talks about leaving Potter behind memories from the set.
ETOnline: Did you take any souvenirs when filming ended?
Lynch: I didn’t! And it’s annoying because everyone else seems to have taken something [laughs]. I was being too good because they drilled it into us, “Don’t take anything!” I remember while we were filming the sixth film, I accidentally wore Luna’s shoes home and five different people called me, screaming, “Where are the shoes?!?” [laughs] They weren’t actually angry, more just freaking out that they’d lose their jobs. But I did collect things I was allowed to – I have all the callsheets from the films and I saved the sign from my dressing room door that says my name and Luna Lovegood. I took things that were important to me, but no authentic props.
ETOnline: Are you far enough away from the experience to realize what a massive contribution to pop culture those films made?
Lynch: Not really. I never think about that because even when we were on the sets, it never felt like work. Yes, it was a big budget movie and we’ll never get treated this well in your life [laughs] but it was such a family feeling. When I see the fan reaction, that’s when it hits me. I’ll always be proud to have been in Harry Potter.
