Katie, Matt, Evanna, and Bonnie Speak on Phoenix and the Future
|
The Telegraph asked Katie Leung (Cho Chang), Matt Lewis (Neville Longbottom), and Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley) about their experiences with the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix film and what the actors would like to see happen with their characters. Here are a few excerpts:
Katie
How will you feel when your family watch the kissing scene?
I’ve never thought about that. Oh God. Well, there’s nothing I can do about it now. I’ll just have to watch the reaction on their faces when they see it.
Matt
Will you be upset if Neville gets killed off?
I would like him to live. But as long as he dies in a righteous and heroic way, I’ll be happy.
Evanna
Do you think you are like your character?
I think I am like Luna, but not as much as everyone thinks I am. She’s not as determined as I am. She wouldn’t have chased the part in the film the way I did. But we both believe in things that don’t have to have facts to back them up.
Bonnie
Have you been given any clues as to what happens to your character?
None whatsoever. I think it's best that way.
How would you like your character to end up?
I would like to see her join Harry in his quest to fight Voldemort. I don't think he should have to go it alone.
Are you looking forward to your onscreen kiss with Harry in the next film?
When I read about the kiss I wasn't expecting it at all. But I suppose I’ll get a feel of what’s to come when I see Katie and Dan’s kiss in this film.
UPDATE: The Gazette also has an interview with Matt Lewis, Bonnie Wright, and Evanna Lynch here (thanks to MN). |

Evanna: Getting Ready for the Deathly Hallows Que
|
Evanna Lynch, who portrays Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, recently spoke with the BBC regarding her love of the Harry Potter books, and her plans for the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
When she was eight, she was going through a Tin-Tin phase. Her mom told her about Harry Potter, but she thought a book about a boy with glasses sounded silly. Finally, her mom got her to read Philosopher's Stone, and she loved it. She read me a chapter when I was in bed, and I took it from her because I loved it so much. Tin-Tin went on the bottom shelf. I love Harry Potter because it's fantasy. It's like in our world but somewhere else, so you can escape from all the boring stuff of this world that you don't want to know about. But also Harry is very normal, as are all of the characters. They are just people who have talents.
She says she dreads Deathly Hallows because it's the last book. She wants the series to go on (don't we all?). I get out of a summer course on Thursday night, go to the bookshop, start queuing, queue all day Friday with my biggest Harry Potter fan friends, then read all of Friday night, all of Saturday, and then Sunday is a mourning day. I guess some people might recognise me in the queue, but everyone is just going to be so excited for the book that they won't care about me. |

Luna Actress Discusses Order of the Phoenix
|
Evanna Lynch, who portrays Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, recently spoke with the Dogheda Independent about her experience with being in the film. Here are a few excerpts:
Has appearing in ‘The Order of the Phoenix’ lived up to your expectations?
I was a little bit heartbroken to find that all the sets were in separate parts of the studio or that some of them had been dismantled. Also as I got to know the other actors I realised how different a lot of them are from their characters, extremely nice but different. As a fan that was tough to learn at first.
Are you looking forward to seeing how HP fans will react to the movie or are you nervous?
I want more than anyone for JK Rowling to be pleased with my Luna, because it’s her character. I have a nightmare of being at the after-party and meeting Jo and she’s just standing there shaking her head, and looking sad. That’s my boggart (worst fear). But she has been positive so far, so I am optimistic.
You can read the rest of the interview here (registration required).
Thanks to HPFZ. |

Update: See Video of Evanna Lynch CBBC Newsround Interview
|
Okay, HP Fans, the Evanna Lynch interview is finally up over at CBBC Newsround.
Here are a few excerpts:
What was it like on the day it was announced you had the part, how did your life change?
It was mad. I went into school and all of my year were at the windows and they were all waving when I came in. And then all these camera people starting coming into the school and all the other girls were outside waving and I stayed inside and they didn't notice me. I think they had dyed my hair at that point so it was different and I had to have security people.
Are you looking forward to filming the fight scenes in the Ministry of Magic at the end of the film?
Yes very much. That's going to be exciting. I was watching them building the set and it looks really good.
What was it like meeting JK Rowling, your favourite author?
Well just meeting JK Rowling was amazing because she created all this world. And all the fans, we all get so obsessed with it and then you met the one person who made it all up. It was just so amazing. And I was just so amazed that that she wrote this book and all of the films have happened. She was really, really nice and she's really easy to talk to. I was telling her my theories about what will happen and she just nodded. But she kept it secret, I don't want her to tell me.
You can see photos of her here. Read the interview at CBBC Newsround here!
You can see CBBC Newsround's video here! The video is in Real Media format, and you can find the Evanna interview beginning at 3:14. The video also includes Dan Radcliffe, Katie Leung, and Emma Watson. I must admit, I think she sounds very Luna Lovegood-ish! :wink: |

More Information on Luna Lovegood Actress
|
MuggleNet had a chance to speak the father of Luna Lovegood actress, Evanna Lynch. Here are a few things they had to say:
Evanna and some friends sent a video into Warner Bros hoping to earn a role in the films. She didn't hear form them until the day before Luna casting opened. They informed her they couldn't offer her a part.
When Evanna found out that there was an open casting call for the Luna role, she wasn't overly excited, but she was surprised and expectant. Apparently, when the numbers for the hopefuls went from 15,000 to 400, she was chosen straight away.
She's enjoying the filming, although the hours are long. She is having fun with the other members of the cast, and spent at least an hour speaking with J. K. Rowling when Jo visited Leavesden Studios.
Thanks, again, to Stacey! |
