Irish film actress Evanna Lynch was cast as "Luna Lovegood," the kooky but lovable friend of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix film. Lynch won the role auditioning against over 15,000 candidates.

1. "I got very carried away with my Harry Potter life and we did have school but I didn’t study. I just had fun. After all the school I missed I have so much work to catch up on"
2. "It was this feeling the whole time like I shouldn’t be here among all these stars and professionals. I was trying to keep my distance because I wanted to watch everyone. But they want you to feel at home and be part of it, and it became normal very quickly."
