When Harry visits the Lovegood home, he notices several pieces of evidence that Luna hasn't been home for weeks despite it being Christmas break: dust over a photo of her and her mother, no clothes in her wardrobe, and her bed, which looks like it hasn't been slept in for some time. It is then revealed that while heading home for Christmas on the Hogwarts Express, Luna was kidnapped in an effort to keep her father from publishing information in support of Harry in The Quibbler. When Harry, Ron, and Hermione are at the Lovegood home, Xenophilius, desperate to save his only child, betrays them to the Death Eaters in the hope that doing so will secure Luna's release. The trio narrowly escapes - only to land in the cellar of Malfoy Manor as captives themselves a few months later. There, they find Luna being held hostage along with Mr Ollivander the wand maker. They are all rescued by Dobby the house elf, who brings them to Shell Cottage, the home of Bill Weasley and his wife Fleur Delacour, where protective enchantments keep them safe.Aside from her role in the Harry Potter series, Evanna Lynch has appeared in other films such as “G.B.F.” and “My Name Is Emily.” She has also participated in reality TV shows like “Dancing with the Stars.” Evanna Lynch joins cast of Monster Butler".

At Christmas, Harry invites Luna on a platonic date to the party hosted by Horace Slughorn. Despite wearing a spangled silvery dress, she looks quite nice, Harry notices, and her conversation about the Rotfang conspiracy (where the Aurors are allegedly trying to bring down the Ministry via Dark Magic and gum disease) has Harry coughing into his drink with laughter. Luna also does the Quidditch commentary for Gryffindor's game against Hufflepuff during which she says little about the play – talking instead about "interestingly-shaped clouds" above the stadium and how nice Ginny is and referring to one of the Hufflepuff players as suffering from "Loser's Lurgy". Minerva McGonagall does not quite know what to do with her, but some fans find her commentary highly amusing. This wins over Ron, who remarks that Luna may be mad, but in a good way. Rowling said in an interview that she " really enjoyed" writing Luna's commentary and considered it "blinding insight". [10] [11] Murphy, Desiree (12 September 2018).

I don’t want people’s food or attention or sympathy or help. I don’t expect people to like or love me, and I don’t waste my time looking for it. If they could only feel all the self-loathing coursing through me, the visceral self-disgust, the ardent wish to be rescued from the unrelentingly awful reality of being in this body, maybe they’d be selfish too. All I want is to quietly withdraw from life – which is too difficult, too painful, too much for me to get a handle on – and all I am asking is that they leave me to it, to the safe, comfortable anaesthetising routine I’ve developed that feels much easier than living fully.

Evanna Lynch has long been viewed as a role model for people recovering from anorexia and the story of her casting as Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter films has reached almost mythic proportions. Yet even after recovery, there remains a conflict at the very core of her being: a bitter struggle between the familiar, anesthetising pursuit of perfection, and the desire to fully and fearlessly embrace her creativity.

In the JKR Documentary on ITV, she drew a family tree of the new generation of Weasleys, including Luna and Rolf. They had twin boys, Lorcan and Lysander. The twins were born several years after Luna's friends had their own children. Harry and Ginny named their third child and only daughter Lily Luna after their "dear friend".

Answer: It appears just as much as necessary and will certainly make you happy, though you might not look at Luna the same way again. The writing contains Evanna’s obsession for the book series, her fangirling of JK Rowling and Daniel Radcliffe, and her step into professional acting with the HP movies. But none of this is the main focus; anorexia remains the lead character of this memoir. I firmly, firmly believe that J.K. Rowling had a hand in her casting as Luna, even though everyone involved keeps insisting that she didn't. What a coincidence that the troubled young girl who'd had frequent personal correspondence with J.K. herself was the one that finally got the role. The "She was promised the role by JK, and that's how she found the ~strength~ to beat anorexia!!" stories are definitely false, but I think that she saw the casting tapes of the finalists and recognized here there. Her getting cast completely independently, and then her penpal JK only learning that fact along with the rest of the world, is too good a story to be true imo.
