Evanna Lynch Encourages You To Audition For The New ‘Harry Potter’ Movie

We all remember the moment Irish newcomer Evanna Lynch landed the role of a lifetime after a Harry Potter open call.  The Louth lady shot to fame as Luna Lovegood in four of the seven Harry Potter movies. Evanna landed the Luna role in 2006.  It has now been announced that there will be an open casting call for the new Harry Potter spin-off, Fantastic Beasts, and Evanna took to Facebook to encourage aspiring actors to audition.   The 23-year-old emphasised that anyone interested shouldn't let shyness stop them from applying. She wrote: "I just want to encourage any girls out there who are tempted to go for this but feel like it's impossible or bigger than you are, to put all those alleged obstacles out of your mind and just go as you, nothing more, nothing less." Lynch will star in Irish film 'My Name Is Emily' next year.  The part being cast is that of 'Modesty', an 8 to 10 year old girl who is "haunted" but possesses an "inner strength" and "stillness". The movie, which stars Eddie Redmayne, is set 70 years before the Potter saga begins.
