We’ve got our quick quotes quills at the ready so submit your questions below and they may just be asked in an exclusive facebook interview next week!
Tomorrow through Thursday on BBC Radio 4 FM, Evanna Lynch (Luna) will do a reading of Foster by Claire Keagan. The story will air in three 15-minute segments, August 31 through September 2, at 3:30 p.m.
A heartbreaking, haunting story of childhood, loss and love by one of Ireland’s most acclaimed writers. A small girl is sent to live with her mother’s people on a farm in rural Ireland, without knowing when she will return home. In the strangers’ house, she finds a warmth and affection she has not known before and slowly begins to blossom in their care. And then a secret is revealed, and suddenly, she realizes how fragile her idyll is.
After airing the episodes will be available online here on the BBC iPlayer for one week.

Evanna Lynch recently won an award for excellence in art, in the article we also learn a bit about how Evanna is at school! We also learn that Evanna was a little involved with the creation of Evanna’s house in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
But even before the crunch exams, she has worked some magic to win a top prize for her artistic skills at her Drogheda school. The Mary Barrett Portfolio Award prize is given each year to the sixth year student who performs best in art and suggests that if the star ever tires of her fledgling acting career she won’t be stuck for work.”She’s very interested in art, but she’s also interested in dance actually,” explained Donal Lynch, deputy principal of Our Lady’s College in Drogheda. I suppose she’s so busy at the moment she’s not really thinking of what she’ll do in the future.”
The Meath girl’s priorities have been split between study and filming for the final instalment of JK Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows. Evanna’s deputy principal told the Herald that the young actress has had a difficult year. “She was filming up until last week which makes it very difficult when she’s facing a couple of Leaving Cert papers. She hasn’t had the time to put in the work that she’d like to.”
Despite the hectic schedule, Mr Lynch said she has shown great dedication, particularly to art. “She wore the earrings to the open audition and when she went on for the screen test one of the directors immediately admired them and thought of using them in the film, which they did. I think they produced a pack of jewellery based on what she has made. They actually consulted her a bit about the design for Luna’s house as well,” he said.
But despite her fame, Evanna doesn’t like to be treated as a celebrity by the other students. According to the deputy principal, “She’s just another student like everybody else. If anybody tried to act anyway other than that she’d be annoyed — she likes to keep it quiet and low key.”
Screenstar has a new interview with Rhys Ifans where he talks about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
“This is the first film that I’ve ever done that I’m not really allowed to talk about. But it’s great. I play Luna Lovegood’s (Evanna Lynch) father (and editor of the Quibbler), Xenophilius Lovegood. And it was a thrill.”
“When you’re an English actor and you get the call from Harry Potter, that is like getting your stripes. It was great. You end up on set and there’s all these actors that you’ve worked with before or crossed paths with. So we’d all be sitting there in our chairs eating our soggy English sandwiches, pumping it up, dressed up like wizards. It was a pleasantly surreal experience.”
“She’s [Evanna] amazing,” he said. “If there’s a question on set — and they have a plethora of researchers and people who’ve read the books — but if anyone needs to know ANY miniscule detail about anything that has happened in any Harry Potter novel from start to finish, they ask her. She knows it all. So it was quite intimidating. I was working with this expert in Harry Potter. But she was a joy to work with. All of them, all of the kids or whatever you call them, it was just a great couple of weeks.”
Well the telethon for Help Haiti Heal has finished up about 20 minutes ago and we all made over $34,000! I also talked to Matt Lewis a little earlier this evening and he said he would probably donate something to the cause! He actually went on to the live podcast for a while along with Evanna Lynch. So far he has donated following people on Twitter if you donate $50 (that might be over now).
Evanna mentioned she could probably donate some signed Potter items as well as making a phoenix necklace (like her raddish earrings).
Tom Felton has also pledged to donate a signed guitar!
