[@christianb572]

Rowling herself admitted that she kept hearing Evanna’s voice every time she wrote anything Luna-related after she was cast. Out of all the cast, she’s the one who just absolutely nailed it. And that’s really saying something ‘cos all of her costars were damn near perfect.

[@TheDustyForest]

yeah, I have to agree, so many other characters are tied so closely to their actors in my mind now, but Luna is the one character I really can't envision being played by anyone else

[@kittywrath6121]

Who’s Rowling? I’ve only heard of J.K. Transphobe. And I thought Hermione wrote the books?

[@kaylinalaska6117]

@@kittywrath6121 yes, she said and did things that I don't agree with, but you can't discredit her for the amazing books she wrote.

[@kittywrath6121]

@@kaylinalaska6117 ok, fair point. But, we must remove the idea that Transphobe is the ideal woman. When I was reading them, I thought she was a literal goddess. We’ve got to remove that thought, because if your role model is doing something, it is un likely you are going to realize that it *is* the wrong thing. But, yes, her books are very well written. BUT I must say Rick over here has made a much bigger impact.

[@willapotter5455]

​@@kittywrath6121 ​@@kittywrath6121 can't agree about Rick, but besides that I fully agree with your point. The way I feel at this point, is we can't idealize Jo anymore. But we can still acknowledge the work she's done. This is going to sound like a harsh analogy, but it's a little like our founding fathers. I'm still going to remember Thomas Jefferson for writing the Declaration of Independence, I'm still going to credit him for it and thank him for it and read it and live by it, but that doesn't make him less of a racist rapist pedophile.

[@l0veLY111]

Evanna was actually in hospital with an eating disorder and she wrote to JK Rowling telling her how much she loved Luna and wanted to play her in the film series’s. JK wrote back saying “if you work your very best too get over your eating disorder and get better and healthy by all means come and audition!” Evanna listened got over her eating disorder auditioned and got the part I just find that so cute🥺

[@TheJgMeyer]

The most memorable Luna-moment was near the end of "Order of the Phoenix", when she calmly tries to recollect all the things that have "disappeared" - quite obviously stolen by her bullying classmates - and suddenly Harry's teenage I-am-the-center-of-the-world-an-no-one-understands-me-bubble bursts whith the understanding that everybody has some kind of hardship to fight, not only The Chosen One. Best coming-of-age moment in this coming-of-age-book. That is my personal opinion, feel free to disagree.

[@keikoredfox4074]

Watching this after reading Evanna's book 'The Opposite Of Butterfly Hunting'. She went through a lot at that time and she made her dream come true. 😊 She adored Luna so much. I was so happy for her. 😊 The perfect Luna. ❤️ Anyway I can't tell how much tears I'd cried when I read her story. 😭 Sometimes it was so heartbreaking and painful to imagine what life struggles she had to face. I love Evanna and wishing her the best. 💕

[@isabellawhite4059]

Evanna is a great actress, she’s Irish but she put on a British accent (and if u listen to her in the movies and her in the interviews it sounds a little different cause of her accent) her voice is so calming and she generally is such a great actress and she’s beautiful 🤩 Luna is such a unique person/character and Evanna really did bring that to life. Like she came into the auditions knowing that she IS Luna. And being like “I am Luna and I know if you pick someone else that’s fine but I know your wrong”. I really really do admire Evanna’s determination, she’s determined to make the best in life and I love her so much. Luna isn’t someone who freaks out easily like even the worst situations she still has her calm and charming voice. Luna isn’t someone who brags about bad things happening to her (for example: watching your mother die from a failed science experiment at the age of nine) she really is so bright and smart and unique. People talk about “oh Ron’s my fav character or dobby or hermione or Harry or Draco or Fred or George or Ginny ect.” But mine is Luna and I’m not trying to put hate on any other characters at all. I also think we can all agree that everyone needs a Luna in their life. Luna’s fashion sense is also so great 😀. Evanna lynch inspires me Ames she amazing. I love Evanna and Luna so much ❤️ Luna is very weird, in a good way and Evanna lynch really did bring that to life. Evanna’s voice is so calming and soft, it’s amazing. 💖💖💖💖💖💖🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰Evanna really is so beautiful
