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.

Hehehe..... I already viewed the diary entry before the news was posted...
Anyway, the entry was brillant! Could have been better if there were clues to book 7.

I'd rather be a genuine caring person and have people be around me and be around other people because we care about each other.
Dhemlan, that was nicely put.
I'm going to check out her latest entry tonight.

I think that is one of the biggest complements an actor could receive, especially in a role like this!!

Oh exciting. And I'm so glad that she likes Luna, if she says that she's perfect she must be pretty darn good.

Loved her rant on fat/skinny. Those of you who qualify as "teeny little whippersnappers" (anyone born after 1986) ought to pay attention! I didn't eat from 1982 until about 1994 cause of that whole toothpick thing (ok, I might have eaten [i]sometimes[\i]...
to heck with what you look like... be you! be fun!

That was short but interesting to read.
It must be wonderful for Rowling to be pleased with the movies and their progress. So many writers hate the movie version of their book.

I was still on the fence about evanna playing Luna but now im on board because if JK says she is perfect which she uses in her own words then i have no worries!

So I guess they've cut down all the trees in Edinburgh already...because why else would it be hard to get paper there? Maybe Jo'll have to start buying paper from Wernam-Hogg in Slough (that's a The Office reference if you were wondering, and no not the American version). Anyway, I'm off to read the reason why there'd be a lack of paper. As for Evanna being perfect for Luna, that's awesome because I was a bit sceptical, I have to admit. All's well that ends well, as the Bard said. Goodnight everyone!

If she is perfect for JK Rowling she is perfect for the part for me! If JK Rowling herself says it she must be like she imagined her!
