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.

Perfect? I wouldn't say she was perfect, but if The author says so, then who am I to say any different? . . . so perfect she is, and perfect she shall remain

From reading JK's entry I can tell this Order movie will be a success. Never I've seen an author working so close with the movie production and its cast members. It's also good to hear that she likes the way things are going so far with the movie.

I'm hoping Evanna will be good - she is bound to be because she was a fan like us before she made it as Luna..she even sent a video tape prior to auditions. And hey, if Mrs. Rowling gives a thumbs up, then it doesn't get any better than that for I am sure Mrs. Rowling is the harshest critic since HP is her "baby" so to speak (besides the other children she has). So I say "GO EVANNA."

Good for Evanna. ALthough, she does look kinda quiet, and maybe doesn't have those buggish eyes I think Luna should have. Oh well... we'll have to wait and see.

Aawwwww...it must be nice for her to go on set and see how the film version of one of her books is doing! And ti talk to all the actors! And it is also great news that Evanna is perfect for Luna! I nearly auditioned for that part...dunno if I'd ave been "perfect", probably not!

If any person said that Evanna as Luna was a not good idea, I don't mind.
BUT if is J.K.R. who said is perfect, is because is perfect, I think is the only person in the movie who really is a fan like us!! and she is perfect for the way she speak, and the way she feel when she read the book!! I hope 13 de July!!! SOON!!!

Uh-oh... for the first time in my life, or one of the very few times. I have to disagree with JKR. Evanna Lynch is far from the Luna Lovegood I imagined. I somehow imagined Luna being taller, skinnier, longer hair and bigger and dreamier eyes. I seriously dont think Evanna is good for the paper, at least basing myself on the pictures I saw.
But then again, if JKR says that she's perfect, then I'll have to wait and see... :)

That makes me even more excited to see the new Luna! I hope that the lack of paper does not effect the book in any way.

I do hope that Evanna does a good job. She looks like Luna would look, in my opinion. Now we'll just have to wait and see if she acts the part!

I recon that she looks the part and If JK Rowling says shes perfect then when Order of The Pheonix comes all of us viewers are in for a treat because she has the JK seal of approval. She is really going to rise to the challange and be a great Luna Lovegood. Cal
