Tara Finney Productions. 7 November 2017. Retrieved 22 March 2018. Evanna Lynch has long been viewed as a role model for recovering anorexics and the story of her casting as Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter films has reached almost mythic proportions. Yet even after recovery, there remains a conflict at the very core of her being: a bitter struggle between the familiar, anesthetising pursuit of perfection, and the desire to fully and fearlessly embrace her creativity.

This is a story of the tragedy and the glory of growing up, of mourning girlhood and stepping into the unknown, and how that act of courage is the most creatively liberating thing a woman can do.From July to August 2017, Lynch starred in a revival of Enda Walsh's Disco Pigs at Trafalgar Theatre.

Archived from the original on 2 November 2019 . Retrieved 10 November 2019. Creativity, she doesn’t fit in a box. She’s a wild, fluid, uncontrollable energy that spreads out sensuously from a curious, wide open mind, in large expanses of aimless time on dreamy liminal train journeys or in subtle moments between waking and sleep. She can’t be pushed or coughed up or beaten into submission by a brutal and unmerciful regime. She needs light and breath and space, and then, maybe, if the mood takes her, she’ll unfurl her wings and let her colours run into the atmosphere." In August 2022, Lynch teamed up with award-winning psychologist and bestselling author, Dr. Melanie Joy, to launch a brand-new podcast called Just Beings. On the show, Lynch and Joy examine the common psychology that drives all harmful and unjust behaviors. Through conversations with changemakers, they explore how we can shift our thinking to create a more compassionate and just world for people, animals, and the planet — and improve our personal lives and relationships in the process.

The melodramatic and often boastful chapter chronicling the tragic downfall of a poor young girl as she whittles herself away, disfigured by her own self-hate, becoming a mere shadow of her former vivacious self! As if we all should weep bitterly over the fact that one self-obsessed, cosseted young girl is flinging a plate of lovingly prepared lasagne out the bathroom window where the cats will slurp up the evidence.“Quigley, Maeve (10 September 2014).

As an advocate for positive change, Evanna Lynch actively supports the #ImagineBetter campaign, which aims to inspire individuals to create a better world. She has conducted workshops on self-confidence and empowerment. Although it can be said that this is every memoirist’s role, there is an uncanny difference here. She seems at once to be sharing her story and subtly communicating the significance of stories themselves, their potent, enigmatic power to restore, to provide context to your growth, to offer love and comfort to a past version of yourself who, through your telling, find still to be alive. You can feel it in her voice, as she renders each line and character with intense reality. As someone who has breathed boundless praise on Potter, it’s clear this is a writer who has internalized and wholeheartedly partaken in the majesty of stories.
