Evanna Lynch Fans interviewed the Luna Lovegood actress recently and she spoke about working on Half-Blood Prince, and getting ready for Deathly Hallows, including her opinion on Rhys Ifans' casting as Xenophilius Lovegood.
Is there any actor in particular that you think would be good in Xeno Lovegood’s role? Does your dad look like him? Have you heard anything regarding the casting of this role yet?
Has it been confirmed? Well, we all know anyway! I was over the moon when I heard. I was really boggled trying to think who would fit the bill. In the past I had pondered Jim Broadbent as a sort of amped up, frazzle-haired version of his character in the Borrowers, he was fantastic. But then they cast him as Slughorn and that obviously wasn't going to work.
I couldn't think of anyone at all and then they told me Rhys Ifans was cast and I couldn't imagine anyone more perfect. I am delighted and can't wait to work with him which has not happened yet! I'm sure many people would like to have him as a dad, my friends are all a bit jealous.
The full interview can be read here, where Evanna also discusses her personal taste in music, her favourite quotes and her future after Harry Potter.
