While promoting Half-Blood Prince in Greece Tom Felton and Evanna Lynch were interviewed by MSN.gr. We have a rough translation but if anyone can do a better job let me know!
What is the secret of the success of both films Harry Potter»and books? Tom: There are many things. Without doubt, the first is the story described in the book. The story is everything. But I think also part of the success comes from the fact that Harry is a normal boy uprooted from the natural world. Also, things which concern the characters are very human. The conflict of moral to immoral, the good and evil is always very good foundation for human stories.
Many say they see Luna in you. In what ways are you like Luna? Evanna: Yeah, I know many say that and I take it as a compliment because I respect Luna too. She has inspired me and has an excellent philosophy where she remains calm and unaffected, which I am trying to adopt too. I never worry and never angry because I think she believes in fate and that everything happens for a reason. I also like that are very perceptive and know that people say that it is in its own world but not disappointed at all.
If you can remember way back in July when this was announced Tom Felton and Evanna Lynch attended the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince premiere in Greece today! A video is now online thanks to Feltbeats.
Today I have some more information on the charity cricket match held yesterday in London! First there is a new photo that you can see here! Next we know more people that attended; Tom Felton, Matt Lewis, Dan Radcliffe, and Alfie Enoch played in the game. Some of the girls went to watch; Bonnie Wright, Evanna Lynch, etc.
UPDATE: Matt has answered my message and given a teeny bit more information!
“All I knew is that it was for the hospital where David Holmes is, he’s a stunt man on HP and he was in an accident that left him paralyzed. We raised over £10,000 I think and Team Gryffindor won by 4 wickets. That was my team. I’ve no idea about whether it was open to the public or not but we’re hoping to make it an annual thing so hopefully next year I can let you know more details!”
Well it isn’t the 16th here yet but in many places it is already Evanna Lynch’s 18th Birthday!! Evanna plays Luna Lovegood in the potter films! LunaFans.net, Ev-online.net and Evanna-lynch.org are having a birthday celebration for Evanna, and you can go take part here!
EvannaLynchFans recently had the opportunity to interview Evanna and they have now posted that interview online!
5- which part of Deathly Hallows are you most excited about seeing turned into film?
I imagine everyone will say this-the walk through the woods and Platform nine and three quarters. It was such an experience to read, such a catharsis, I remember reading it for the first time and I felt like I could hardly keep up with my own eyes rushing across the pages. It will be so exciting to see how they translate that experience onto film, to see what someone else made of it. And of course the Lovegood house!! I have seen it being made from scratch and been in it and all around it and it is absolutely beautiful, much more vivid and detailed and alive than anything I could ever dream up even while reading the books. I hope they give it good screen time, it truly deserves it. I’m so excited just to see Mr.Lovegood in action. Luna has always been so different and jarring to those around her, it will be so nice to see someone with the same energy and hear his lines, you can’t beat the Lovegoods for unpredictability.
2- What are some of the quotes on your bedroom walls?
Only the best! The ones that have really affected me. There’s ‘To the well organised mind death is but the next great adventure’, ‘it does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live’, ‘I am not worried Harry, I am with you’, ‘Dumbledores (wo)man through and through’, ‘Give her hell from us, Peeves’, ‘Did I tell you I’ve invented a broomstick that’ll reach Jupiter’, ‘Don’t worry you’re just as sane as I am’, ‘I disagree with Dumbledore on many counts…but you cannot deny, he’s got style’, ‘NEVER-INSULT-ALBUS-DUMBLEDORE-IN-FRONT-OF-ME!’. Bit of a Dumbledorist need I mention? I am tired of my room though. It gives me a headache and as you can see it was designed before the beauty and perfection of Deathly Hallows graced our lives! I’m going to give it a makeover any day now. I think a DUmbledore mural is in order.
