James and Oliver Phelps (Fred and George Weasley) and Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood) attended the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 premiere in Rome, Italy, earlier today and were asked by the police to leave the venue for the safety of the crowd.  Apparently so many fans showed up, (many more than anticipated) that the situation became too dangerous.

The three of the stars got together and published a video to explain the situation to the fans and to apologize.  They also stated they’re going to autograph many cards for fans to be given out at the Galleria Colona.  You can see their video below that gives more information.

 With the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 on Blu-Ray/DVD and the upcoming release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 in movie theaters on July 15, a few of the Harry Potter stars suggested a few things they may do to celebrate the end of both films in a video interview posted by InStyle magazine.  Things like “Potter Anonymous”, a Potter paraphernalia party, sky diving, and weeping were discussed by James and Oliver Phelps (Weasley twins), Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), and Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley). 

Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom) and Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood) mentioned everyone had gotten together sometime after the release of Deathly Hallows Part 1 to celebrate Lewis’ 21st birthday.

We previously reported on the photos we received from the promotional event at HMV in London to celebrate the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 on DVD/Blu-ray.  Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom) and Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood) were among the Harry Potter stars who attended the event.  They also appeared on ITV Daybreak in the UK to discuss the DVD/Blu-ray release.

During the interview, Matt and Evanna commented on how they felt about coming to the end of the films and working with the legendary actors like Ralph Fiennes (Voldemort) and Alan Rickman (Snape).  Since Evanna is considered to be a Harry Potter expert, the hosts gave her a little quiz.

Personally, I liked her red “Dumbledore’s Army” t-shirt.

It may not make sense but yet that is what Evanna Lynch claims in a blog she wrote for The Harry Potter Alliance.  In the blog, the actress who portrayed “Luna Lovegood” in the Harry Potter films expressed her feelings on how important it is to have a good self-image of ourselves and do what we can to maintain our bodies and minds.

I don’t believe in mental blocks. I don’t believe in what other people tell me I can and can’t do. Basically, I have very little regard for the idea of “can’t”. Take the example of running a marathon: your mind tells you that you can’t do it, and other people may laugh and scoff when you tell them your ambition. But the truth of the matter is these statements are just illusions. You can run the marathon regardless of the naysayers. However, if you break both legs two days before the aforementioned marathon I don’t think anyone will contest that “can’t” becomes the cold hard truth.

This reality is why the physical body bind is my greatest fear and it is also why I think it’s so important that we love and care for our bodies as best as we can. It’s true that the mind is where all ideas are born, but the body is the tool that translates and expresses those ideas to the wider world. It is nothing but a vehicle for our greater creative purpose but if we don’t give it fuel and keep it in good working order it instead becomes another obstacle to transcend, a physical one, as well as the many million fictitious mental ones that society presents.

To promote the upcoming release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 on November 19, Evanna Lynch spoke with Nylon Magazine about coming to the end of portraying “Luna Lovegood” in the Harry Potter films:

It’s really sad,” she says in her soft, dreamy voice of the end of the series.  “Harry Potter was like a security thing.  It was like school.  Every year you’d know you’d have school at the start of September and then you’d have Harry Potter a few months later.  And then to have it suddenly gone…. It’s kind of scary.”

A devoted Harry Potter fan since she was eight years old and “the arty one” in her family, Lynch designed the pair of radish-shaped earrings and the lion-headed hat “Luna” wore in the last two Harry Potter films, though she claims “people make too much of a big deal of that”.

But now, according to the article, Lynch has celebrated her 19^th birthday and expects to receive her Leaving Cert results, the Irish equivalent of high school graduation.  She plans to continue to act.  And yet, she loves to dance, too.  Last June, she won Ireland’s Mary Barrett Portfolio Award for painting.  Lynch is passionate about art and culture and knowledgeable about modern dance, Shaolin Monks, Belgian writers, and Michael Jackson (she has a tattoo of his eyes on the back of her neck!).

She even read the controversial novel Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov:

…(she read it after “becoming annoyed by fashion magazines when they’re like, ‘Channel you inner Lolita.’  I was like, ‘Has anyone actually read this book?’”)

However, it is dance and obtaining the part of “Luna Lovegood” that receives Lynch’s credit for helping to overcome her shyness:

“I’d be a lot different.  I think I’d be very shy, and shyness is such a barrier.”

So with such a wealth of creative aspirations – “my ambitions change every five minutes,” she confesses – will she continue to act?  “Definitely,” she says confidently.  “When I started, I didn’t think I wanted to.  I just wanted to do Luna.  But on the last day I was like, ‘I definitely don’t want to stop this.’”
