Harry Potter author JK Rowling has updated her diary
today with news about how difficult it is to find paper in Edinburgh, visiting the Order of the Phoenix set and talking to the actors.
Below is an excerpt of the entry:
It was exciting to see some of the new Order of the Phoenix sets, but most of all to see the actors again - slightly unnerving to realise that nearly all of them are taller than me now (I speak, of course, of the teenagers; Michael Gambon was always taller than me, and very lovely he looked in his new robes, too.) Apart from the pleasure of seeing Tom Felton, Devon Murray, Alfred Enoch, Sitara Shah (and waving through the door at Bonnie Wright, who was busy being tutored), I had a great time talking to Dan and Matthew about books, Rupert about how his sisters never wind him up, Oliver and James about how difficult they find it to wind each other up, and Emma about Hermione's love life. Also met, and had a long chat, with Evanna Lynch (Luna), about whom there is only one possible thing to say: perfect.
The Rumours section has also been updated as well as the Extras section with a piece about the proliferation of skinny young woman in the media. Thanks to everyone who emailed us.

Well, if Rowling says she perfect for the part, then that means she's perfect for the part. Glad to hear it! I'll have to check out her site later.

im glad JK likes evanna.. that makes me feel positive about the films..
im also really glad people like JK are reaching out to skinny girls.. if more emphasis was put on brains rather than beauty maybe we'd get somewhere as a gender..

If JK thinks Luna is perfect, then I guess she must be perfect! Nice to see that she is keeping up with the movie cast.

I'm really happy that the movie is going well. I hope it is out soon. I also really agree with what she says about skinny girls as i can relate to what she is saying in some ways.

If JKR thinks Evanna is perfect for the part, then she must be. We just have to trust her and hope for the very best. I'm sure that it will be a great movie. Can't wait!

I read JKR's rant about skinny girls and she was totally right...and it wasn't too hard to tell that she was talking about Paris Hilton...(hehe, chihuahua flatulence)... i'm glad she feels that way...shew was also right about that woman who hadn't seen her for years...how shallow...but then she probably thought she was complimenting jkr.

Well, I can honestly say I've had my doubts about her, but if she's gotten the JKR stanp of approval that's enough for me. Go Evanna!

Geri - Since the diary entry talks about Gambon, does that mean he is confirmed? I just wanted to know so I can update my cast list on the forum.

Hey, If JKR approves, who can deny that she IS perfect. Sweet, it's great to know that she approves of her. I'm sure we're all excited to start getting more such reports from the set. We want more more more! Haha. okay, Fatty, calm down. Take a deep breath.

Sorry for the double post, but I just read the 'For girls only, Probably' thing and I was stunned. I already had infinite amounts of respect for JK Rowling but now its just through the roof. That really gave me something to think about. Wow.

I loved J.K. Rowling's piece on too skinny girls in the Media. It rang true and I loved the whole little article. Yes, Pink rocks.
