Harry Potter Fans Amazed by Evanna Lynch's Stunning Transformation at 31
It's been 16 years since Luna Lovegood appeared on the big screen, so Potterheads are wondering what magic the actress uses to look like she does.
While the adventures of Harry, Hermione, and Ron will always be the most memorable, there's no denying that the other characters of the Harry Potter series were also well-written and equally well-played.
And perhaps the most beloved by viewers is the enigmatic and wise Luna Lovegood, portrayed by beautiful Evanna Lynch.
'You just don't age, do you?' one of Evanna's fans commented recently. Indeed, the 31-year-old actress seems to be using one of the magic spells on herself because, according to her fans, she only looks better with the years!
Evanna Lynch's acting career began with the film adaptations of J. K. Rowling's novels. The actress admits she had been fascinated by the Harry Potter series ever since she was eight years old, and she even wrote letters to the author herself and dreamed of one day appearing in a movie adaptation. Her dream came true in 2006 when 14-year-old Lynch passed the casting.
After the end of the famous film franchise, Lynch appeared in episodic roles on television and in several Irish indie films. She was nominated for Best Actress at the Irish Film and Drama Awards for her role in the independent project My Name Is Emily.
Lynch suffered from an eating disorder from the age of 11 and was diagnosed with anorexia. She recounts her experiences in her memoir book The Opposite of Butterfly Hunting: The Tragedy and Glory of Growing Up, in which the actress talks about overcoming her illness and trying to find herself in the creative arts.
On her Instagram page, Evanna often writes about her post-traumatic experiences and how she tries to cope with them. For example, she shared a post showing her progress in doing aerial hoops and compared these skills to finding balance in life.
'I have felt so "off centre" in my personal/professional/social lives and been scrambling to establish a sense of normality,' the capture says.
People really seem to appreciate and support her, which is clearly evident in the comments:
'Absolutely smashing! Have always loved your work, and sense of self. Keep being the amazing you that you are!' a fan replied to the post.
The actress is also active in the theater.
In a recent Instagram post, Evanna shared her emotions about performing in the Arcola Theatre's production of Under the Black Rock, and her followers appreciated both her looks and her taste in music.
'Beautiful. And great taste in tee's,' one of the commenters said, admiring the actress' T-shirt with Siouxsie Sioux.
Fans wish all the best to the beloved actress, hoping that she'll continue to delight the audience with her screen and theater roles as well as inspiring posts on social media. Meanwhile, why wouldn't Evanna share her secret of keeping her young looks? Fans of the Harry Potter franchise aren't getting any younger over the years, and they'd certainly love to know Luna's tricks!
