[UPDATE] There’s another new interview that Evanna did with Realms of Fantasy magazine’s August Issue. You can view the interview here.
“If someone says, ‘Where is the proof?” she would say, ‘Where isn’t the proof?’”
Thanks to BWO (via Tatjana) for this new Danish interview with Kino.dk that includes this new image!
You can read the interesting interview below;
Spotlight: Kino.dk has talked with the persons behind Ginny Weasley and Luna Lovegood about Potter, being famous and Twilight.
On a hot summer day in Copenhagen Kino. Dk meets Bonnie Wright and Evanna Lynch who plays Ginny Weasley and Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter and the half blood prince
Even their young age, 18 and 17 are the two teen stars very talkative and answers questions asked by kino.dk users.
Question: It is the first time you are visiting Denmark?
BW: Yes we have been on a a boat trip and the city is very exciting with a lot of exciting actritupure.
EL: the weather is nice and people seem more relaxed than in London.
You have two different roles in the Harry Potter movies. Do you recognize yourself in GW and LL?
BW: I have known my character for so long that it can be hard to separate Bonnie from Ginny, because you take parts of your own personality with you in the role. Ginny is very independent and that I admire about the character.
EL: I am like Luna is very open. We believe things until the opposite is proven and don’t judge things on forehand. Luna is like the opposite of Hermione. Hermione has to read it in a book to believe in it. I believe in magic and angels. But if you reject things, you don’t see them.
Where would the Sorting Hat being placing you?
BW: Haha. I think and believe that it would be Gryffindor and not Slytherin.
EL: I am not sure. I would like to see Gryffindor but I think it would be Ravenclaw like Luna Lovegood.
You all seem like a big family when you see a Harry Potter movie but who are you talking with most?
BW: The Weasley brothers, maybe because we are a family in the movies and them Emma Watson and Evanna. But I am doing fine with all and I hope to keep in contact with more of them when we are done with the movies.
EL. Unlike a school when you have to be friends with those from the class, then it is more easier to find friends on a big set with so many different people. But I am most together with Bonnie, Katie – who is playing Cho Chang and then there are always coming new people you can be friends with
You were only nine when you got the role as Ginny Weasley in the first Harry Potter movie. How much did you know about the Harry Potter world that time?
BW: Nothing! I started reading the book during the casting and then I fell more in the love with the world. When I read the rest of the books I got surprised but happy because Ginny got a bigger role and bigger importance for the plot.
This is a question to Bonnie from Amina, 14. How was it like to be kissing Harry Potter?
BW: Quite strange now when Daniel and I have known each other for such a long time. But it went more eaiser than I thought. Before then I was nervous because it is a moment many fans have been waiting for but I think it works fine in the movie. The scene took two days to film and I kissed him 20 times overall
And then Louse 12, would like to know how do you have time to keep up with school.
BW: We gets 3-5 hours personal tutoring ever day on the set. It can be quite intense because you cannot hide like in a class room. But I have passed the same exams like I would have done if I had going to a real school
EL. I try to come to my school once in while because it is very different here on the set. It is very hard, but they are trying their best to tutor the best they can
Before you got the role as Luna, then you wrote a letter til JK Rowling and she answered?
EL. Yes I wrote to her how much the book meant to me and I told her how much I wanted to play Luna in the movies. And then I got a handwritten letter back from her. She was very nice. She even wrote that she maybe could help me with a role as an extra. I answered, that then I could not play Luna…..
What is the best part and the worst part about being in the Harry Potter movies?
BW: All the experiences you get from being a part of it that is the best thing. The worst, or the most strange is that is such a big phenomenon. It is surreal to be recognized. I don’t get recognized very often that is a problem but I also like to talk with Harry Potter fans.
EL The best is that you are able to say that you are in the Harry Potter movies and then the friends I have got. The worst part is that you cannot be a Harry Potter in the same way as earlier. You need to have a life outside the work. I used to discuss Harry Potter on the Internet but I don’t do it anymore because now there are comments about myself. I loved to be in the line to get cinema tickets and make my own Harry Potter T-shirts. But that is not a very high prize to pay to be a part of the Harry Potter movies.
Then it is that you have to find a new thing to be a fan of . What do you think about the Twilight books?
BW: I have read the first book and I thought that they did a good job with the film. But Harry Potter is better.
EL: It is good books but I don’t think they are so fantastic as Harry Potter. I don’t think they are that good and for a time I were a bit like a anti Twilight. All said it was the new Harry Potter and I don’t agree.
I also tried to read Twilight in hope to find something who could be ’new Harry Potter’ but I had to give up after 40 pages.
EL: You did not like Twilight? I am happy to hear that. It is like the books are written by a girl who is a teen. But that is of course also the charm about it but you can not say they are fantanstic. Did you saw the movie?
Yes. I understand very well why it is so popular but I don’t love it.
EL: Haha. It is also get tiring that Bella all the time is talking about how beautiful Edward is. Get over it.
Last question is from Mikkel, 15. Which Harry Potter book and movie is your favorite?
BW: My favorite books in the last one in the series because everything gets tied together and my favorite movie is the last one because I personal have learnt so much being a part of it. And visual it is also the greatest. The photographer has really done fantanstic work and the music is the best in the series. It is a very well balanced movie and it gives time to the different characters. And then the movie is great farewll to Hogwarts which not really is part of the last two movies
EL. My favorite book is the fiffth one and the last one. In the fifth one Harry learns so much about himself and everybody is expecting so much of him. In the sixth one he much more idenpendent and he does not care, what others think, that thing he learnt in book 5. And he last one I love because all get their big moment. My favorite movie is the last one. It is not driven so much of the plot as the all fans already know but is more about the characters.
The Interview is over. Now Bonnie and Evanna is going to Tivoli before the evening in Imperial where they are going to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince once more if they are going to be sitting.
EL. I have already seen the movie three times and if I see it too many times then I just get tired of it. So maybe I will go outside again when the movies starts
