Kathimerini.gr has a new interview with Evanna Lynch and Tom Felton, which they did while promoting Half-Blood Prince in Greece.

Felton, 21, who plays the “bad” Draco Malfoy from 2001 paints his hair to platinum blond from brown hair in order to maintain the image of the role. And the viciousness is convincing. “I have acquired such a bad reputation, when children come in shooting, I’m the only one they do not want to meet,” he says. “I have fun playing the villain. Thankfully in this film my role becomes more interesting, because to tell the truth, it was rather two-dimensional in previously.”

Unlike Felton who had not read any Harry Potter book prior to when he got the role, the 18 year old Evanna Lynch, who plays the role of Luna, was a fanatical book fan of JK Rowling. The dedication of the series was such as to exclude other candidates for the role in auditions held. The Half-Blood Prince is the second film in which she plays and now just starting to adjust. “In the previous film I felt very strange because I felt that I do not belong there. I saw everyone else as a star. I was such a loyal fan who could not believe that I participated in these films.”
