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.

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.

Huh. Interesting. This bit of information is really interesting (and I'm not just saying that). I guess as long as Rowling thinks that the girl they got as Luna is "perfect" then maybe those who don't like her won't argue or complain as much.

I forgot to mention that I also agree with JKR about today's weight issue. I love Pink and her song 'Stupid Girls'!

I can't believe it would be difficult for JKR to see the actors. I have to check out the site!

Cool! I hope that JKR's positive review of Evanna will silence any Evanna dissendants!

that last sentence on her diary entry made me smile! If JKR thinks she's perfect then who's to argue? Can't wait to see Evanna in action and i have every faith in her.
Plus love the way she mentioned what she chatted about with the actors - espescially with Emma about Hermiones love life. We girls can't help it when we get together. We have to talk about the love!

Well if Jk is happy and thinks that Evana is the perfect Luna, then she probably is really good...ahh i cant wait to see her in the movie!!
Its good to know that JK does drop by the HP set to meet and greet all of the actors...again.
Are the teenage actors really taller than her?? because from what i saw in pictures they dont seem really tall but how should i know?? haha

I'm happy that Rowling likes Evanna Lynch. It has to be great to go to the set of your own book and see how other people are creating your characters.

Wow. I loved the diary entry, but most of all I loved her entry about girls.
My respect for JKR just went higher and higher. She did say some really good points, and it caused me to really respect her. That is more than I already do.

That was a really awesome entry on her part. I am so excited about the movie. Even more so now since she said she was talking to all of them. I think I would be really nervous if I was in her presence. I wouldn't know what to say. I would probably tell her she is a genious!

I'm so glad to hear that Evanna is "perfect" in Jo's eyes. That makes me feel much better! I do think that Evanna really looks the part of Luna, so hopefully her acting is great!

Can't wait to see The Order of the Phoenix. I am very happy that J.K Rowling is happy with the cast choices. I hope they don't leave as much out this time. I like a suggestion I heard from a fellow member of this site. They should do an extended edition like Lord of the Rings did for their movies.
