In 2005, she participated in the casting for theHalf-BloodPrince, the fifthHarryPottermovie. It was she who urged the production and the director to give the role of Luna Lovegood to the young Irish actressEvannaLynch.This role apparently saved her: before becoming an actress, Evanna was suffering from anorexia. Reading Harry Potter and meeting the author helped her overcome her condition.The writer has always maintained a strong relationship with her fans, thanks to news published on the Internet, a presence around side projects connected to theHarry Potteruniverse and regular interaction on Twitter. She frequently answers questions and has, for instance, defended the choice of ablack actress to play Hermionein the theatre production ofHarry Potter and The Cursed Child.
