“My struggle is always to shut off the negative voices in my head that tell me everyone’s judging me, and lean into that messy creative process. The Potter films forced me to overcome my shyness and that was the best thing. I was shy when I was young but not in a happy, content way. I knew I wanted to overcome my crippling sense of inferiority and make my contribution to the arts.”

“From what I remember I was on the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows [for my 17th birthday]. They had a cake and it was Bill and Fleur’s wedding so everyone was already really dressed up and it felt very special as a result. They all sang happy birthday as I tried to hide my face and then we got back to work. By 17 I had lost all patience with the teenage experience. I looked down on other teenagers and was scathing of the peer pressure. I felt like I was just killing time until I could get out of school and really become who I wanted to be… In retrospect, I was a bit of a snob, a defiant weirdo and I was deeply suspicious and fearful that people only liked me because of my Harry Potter credentials. I kept teenagers at arm’s length as a result and preferred books to people.” —Evanna Lynch [x]

“I remember [the casting directors] asked me why did I think I should play Luna. And I was just really confident that I could play her exactly how I want it to be. And that's something that I share with Luna. I'm quite confident, entirely. I'm not one of those extroverts, but I'm really secure. And I was like, ‘It's up to you who you want, it's your choice if you choose someone else. But I won't see it as a fault on my part. I'll see it as you being wrong on Luna's character.’ I said, ‘I'll appreciate that you have a different view, but I think it's wrong.’ I did say [that], and they liked it.”
