Irish Harry Potter star 'wouldn't like to make a career of acting'

Sunday, July 08, 2007

The Irish star of the new Harry Potter movie says she will definitely be in the next one - but she doesn't intend to make a career of acting.

Dozens of fans turned out to greet Evanna Lynch as she arrived at Dublin's Savoy Cinema this evening for the premiere of 'The Order of the Phoenix'.

The 15-year-old from Termonfeckin in County Louth said she thinks the film is 'spectacular' but admitted she's nervous about what her friends will think of it.

The teenager, who plays the young witch Luna Lovegood, said she always knew the part was for her.

"It wasn't any part and it wasn't any movie: it was Luna in a Harry Potter film, and I didn't think, 'oh there's going to be thousands of people, how am I going to do it', I just thought 'I know Luna more than anyone could'," she explained.

She said she hasn't got any sneak previews of the final book in the Harry Potter series, and said she'll be "queuing up" to buy the book when it's released on July 21st.
