Everybody’s favorite quirky Ravenclaw Luna Lovegood from the Harry Potter movies is all grown up now…and starring in her very own film.
The 25-year-old Irish actress Evanna Lynch is starring in upcoming romance-drama film, My Name is Emily, which is about a teenage girl who shortly after losing her mother, loses her father to a psych institution. She is then sent to a foster home, a new school, and makes an unlikely friendship with a boy named Arden. They set out on a road trip across Ireland to find Emily’s dad and bring him home.
Evanna talks about the film in an interview:
“I think all the challenges. For one thing, swimming. I can’t swim. I got some lessons on the film because she’s in water a lot and even though she’s not swimming, I knew I’d have to be able to stay afloat. (Some people say) because you’re a fire sign, because you’re a Leo, you’re not meant to be in water. I really feel like it’s unnatural. I get water up to here (she holds her hand to neck), and I physically panic. It was like mind over matter. That kind of thing. And I love being pushed. I never want to do a job where I’m not challenged and turned into a better person.”

The film first came out in 2015 in the UK, but is set for a worldwide release this February 2017.
