Evanna Lynch’s relationship with anorexia
In an interview with ABC, Evanna Lynch said that since she was 11, she has struggled with anorexia and, for several moments, was hospitalized due to complications of the disorder.
It was during one of the hospitalizations that the fifth Harry Potter book, The Order of thePhoenix, reached bookstores, and Evanna convinced doctors to let her leave the hospital to buy the autographed book.
As a way to divert her thoughts from eating problems, Evanna began taking acting classes, even acting in school plays.
Before applying to play Luna, the actress was already a big Fan of Harry Potter,having corresponded with letters with author J. K. Rowling, in which she asked for a role in the franchise.
Although the author never promised to hire, the actress says she saw Rowling as a counselor. Evanna became part of the Harry Potter cast in the fifth film, after winning more than 15,000 candidates for the role, having been praised by audiences and critics.
