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.

Getting JK's seal of approval would definately be the best praise a HP actor/actress could get... Can't wait for the next movie!

THIS IS GREAT! Evanna is perfect! I am so relieved! If Rowling said that she is "perfect" then i will take her word for it and when i walk into the theater to watch the movie i expect somthing along the lines of "Perfect".

I really cannot wait to see what Evanna is like as Luna Lovegood. I think she looks cool for the part and im really glad that J.K Rowling thinks she is the perfect choice, i think she will do really well. And im sure the OOTP set is brilliant.

Good news - if JKR likes Evanna - she's probably brilliant! Hehe! My theory anyway...hehe...
I am still waiting for a picture of Evanna in costume as Luna...then we'll know what she'll look like!
It'll give us a better idea...
Great news that the cast are getting on though! This film is going to be something special!

I am so happy that JK Rowling thinks Evanna is perfect - I always thought she looked the part and I hate the way people judge actors before they even see them at work.
Plus JK Rowlings' little tale about running out of paper made me chuckle. You can never find the things you want when you're desperate for them. I bet she's see a sale on lined paper in every shop now she finally managed to buy some!

I think she's right to take the time to speak with all the characters, especially when there's new cast coming with the team. I really hope that Luna will do the best she can and will be the Luna we thought about.

I'm glad Evanna is doing well and JK Rowling likes her, she has a lot to live up to. Luna is one of those characters who is different in everybody's mind, and Luna certainly has a lot of die hard fans.

It's good that she liked Evanna. You've made it if the writer thinks your perfect.
I feel Jo's pain over the paper. I've had that problem before too. It's actually rather nerve racking because you have a plan and then it falls appart in your search for paper. (I write longhand before I type, aswell)

Well, if Jo finds her perfect... I'm not sure she'll be the Luna that I imagined though... :)

I think it's great that she likes Evanna, if shes perfect for JK than she should be exactly what i imagined her!! I read the Extras page too and i hav to say GO JK!!! Well said, I agree with her completely, im sick or all these eating disorders and all this fat business people should be judged on who they are not what they look like!

Wow. That must have been so cool to meet JK. I mean, the actors/actresses could both discuss their opinion about the book. And she gets an update on how the movie is coming along.

If JKR says evanna is perfect for the part of Luna, then she must be! Online JKR really has the true ideas of what these characters will look like, which makes me wonder, did she really approve of the way they portrayed Lupin?
