Joining Daniel on today’s episode of "Creatively Me" is Irish actress, writer and activist, Evanna Lynch.
Evanna’s career began when at fourteen years old she landed the role of Luna Lovegood in the "Harry Potter" film franchise. Beloved by millions of fans around the world for her charming portrayal of the quirky Ravenclaw student, Evanna starred in the final four films of the series.
Beyond the walls of Hogwarts School, Evanna’s artistry has continued to grow in compelling and often unexpected ways.
In 2021, Evanna released a memoir "The Opposite of Butterfly Hunting: The Tragedy and Glory of Growing Up", where she details personal struggles and her artistic explorations. She’s also a respected activist, particularly on the subject of animal rights.
She’s continued to flex her acting muscles in film, both features and shorts, as well as theatre, where she’s undertaken roles in acclaimed productions such as "Disco Pigs" and most recently "Pool (No Water)".
During "Pool (No Water)"’s run, a play performed in an empty swimming pool in the Metropole Hotel, through the Everyman Theatre as part of Cork Midsummer Festival, I got the chance to meet with Evanna in person, a conversation I was eagerly anticipating.
During today’s conversation, Evanna will reflect on her creative journey to date, from Harry Potter to theatre endeavours. She’ll share her own observations on her relationship with her work and well-being and will discuss the complex subject matters that draw her in as an artist and a performer.
