In an interview with a podcast, Harry Potter’s Luna Lovegood, played by Evanna Lynch, opened up about being a hardcore Harry Potter fan. In fact, so much so that she wrote a fan mail to Daniel Radcliffe. She said that she started reading the novels when she was eight years old and was obsessed with the character. Lynch also revealed that “cued up” when the books were out and even got Radcliffe’s autograph.

She explained that by the time she was cast for the fifth movie, she knew everything about the Harry Potter cast, namely Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson. But on the sets, the Luna Lovegood actor had to pretend that she didn't. She also added that being an "obsessed fan" is "disempowering".
Evanna Lynch also opened up about the Harry Potter series being beneficial in other ways. It not only helped her career but also helped her overcome her eating disorder. She also confessed that she is one of the many whom the series has helped battle dark times.
