Product Information

Both Luna's parents are magical. Her father, Xenophilius Lovegood, first appears in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, though Luna earlier identifies him as the editor-in-chief of The Quibbler, a magazine that, according to Luna, publishes "important stories he thinks the public needs to know". Luna says her mother was an extraordinary witch who died when a spell experiment went wrong. Luna saw the death of her mother when she was only nine and so she can see Thestrals. [9] Luna appears to be an only child as no mention is made of siblings. The Lovegoods live near Ottery St. Catchpole, a small village on the south coast of England that is also home to the Weasley family. Lynch is an ambassador for J. K. Rowling's charity Lumos. In 2016, Lynch and her Harry Potter co-star and fellow Lumos ambassador, Bonnie Wright, travelled to Haiti to learn about why there are 30,000 children living in orphanages, and met children who had been rescued from terrible conditions and reunited with their families. Lynch stated about charity work for children and families, "Without families and without love, children can't be children. The most important thing as a child is to be with your family. And you have to do everything you can to keep that family unit in place". [81] Evanna Patricia Lynch (born 16 August 1991 [1]) is an Irish actress and activist.

In the past couple years, there have been amazing vegan options clearly labeled by the caterers. That said, I know it’s not always the case. I filmed a show over the summer, and I commented to the cameraman (who was the only other vegan in that crew) how delicious and substantial our food was. He wryly told me this wasn’t the norm for him, and he suspected he was benefitting from his proximity to me and the privileges I enjoyed as one of the key cast members. That was important for me to hear. I don’t like to think of myself as powerful or influential, but I do have the capacity to speak up and ask for vegan options, and others just don’t have that privilege. So now I always ask for vegan options. VO: It’s cool to see how much of your work has shifted to promoting plant-based living. How has your acting career helped further your vegan advocacy efforts? I am so tired of this game, the constant bargaining, the seemingly hourly negotiations to eat or not to eat. I just want to retire from eating, be done with the whole messy, unpalatable affair. Why do people have to eat so often, upwards of three, four, five times a day? Do they have nothing more interesting to do? Do people eat to live or live to eat?

I don’t expect people to like or love me, and I don’t waste my time looking for it. If they could only feel all the self-loathing coursing through me, the visceral self-disgust, the ardent wish to be rescued from the unrelentingly awful reality of being in this body, maybe they’d be selfish too. All I want is to quietly withdraw from life – which is too difficult, too painful, too much for me to get a handle on – and all I am asking is that they leave me to it, to the safe, comfortable anaesthetising routine I’ve developed that feels much easier than living fully. Is it so selfish to self-preserve?
