Our affiliate, Evanna Lynch Fans interviewed Evanna recently and they talk about varied aspects from her life, music (she likes Michael Jackson? Big surprise! lol) and Deathly Hallows and related things.

Read the entire interview here, and an excerpt below:

4- What do you want to do after Harry Potter has ended? Are you considering a long-term career in acting? Will we ever see you in anything else, or is it university like Emma after Deathly Hallows?

hmmmmm. That’s my answer! Well no, I don’t do short answers, ha! I definitely want to do more acting. Definitely. I love acting and I have so much to learn from it and so many more people to meet. The film has been the best experience of my life and has opened so many doors for me. I could never be content now to just shrink back and not take hold of all these opportunities. However it is not what I want to do forever, more something I feel I should explore while I’m young. I do feel that there is not enough creative control for actors, unless perhaps to older veteran actors who have proven themselves versatile and have built up strong personal relationships with their directors which earns them trust…but that takes a long time. I think as a young actor you are very much protected and obvious as it may sound, directed. It’s just part of my personality to feel uncomfortable with anyone having power over me. I love it of course, I just know I will not do it forever. Acting is an art, but film is an industry and we are all here to make money. I have aspirations to be a director and a writer and a dancer and all those fanciful things so I know acting is good for me and introduces me to amazing people passionate about these things too. And I enjoy it so why would I quit? I have so much to learn about this and from this and I do still feel like I work hard. Basically laziness is what I fear, and as soon as I stop stretching myself I will move on. I have fantasies about doing West End and amazing live shows like that. I love it and am always inspired and awestruck when you go to a show and witness how one small person can hold a whole audience spellbound. So someday. Right now people tell me my voice is too little for the stage so I need to work hard til I get to that point! After Deathly Hallows though… is there an after??? Say it isn’t so!

1- Out of all the actors on Harry Potter, who have you enjoyed working with the most?

I would have to say I’ve enjoyed most working with the people I have become closest to. You hear of a lot of hierarchy and people being unwilling to engage with others because they are so concentrated on their work and personally I really admire those people who can strike a nice balance of being a nice, friendly and relaxed presence whilst also being talented, hard-working actors. I think it is essential to keep your feet on the ground and make an effort to work WITH people because actors are trying to portray real people. I used to look up to people like Emma and Bonnie and Matt and found it hard to imagine myself fitting in with them. But they extended the hand of friendship and bridged the gap and eventually I was able to see myself as one of the cast. I like to feel comfortable and relaxed with the other actors because that way we can work off one another and it doesn’t have to be acting, you can just be. It’s like when you’re young and you play pretend with a friend. You don’t have that annoying voice of doubt that wonders what the other person is thinking of you and prevents you from playing with whatever character you are. You believe you and your friend are those characters so it is easy to crawl into their skin and just be. You can forget yourself.
