EVANNA Lynch made her film debut 17 years ago when she appeared in Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix.
The young actress landed the role of quirky character Luna Lovegood – and looked pretty different almost two decades ago.
Evanna was born in County Louth, Ireland, and had been an avid Harry Potter fan since she was in primary school.
When she was 11-years-old, Evanna wrote to JK Rowling about her love for the novels and the pair corresponded.
Remarkably, it wasn’t until later that Rowling discovered that the young fan she had been writing to landed Luna Lovegood's role in 2006.
Evanna got the Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix part after auditioning against 15,000 other girls.
She then went on to appear in four of the films.
Her most noteworthy scenes include fighting off death eaters in the Ministry of Magic and giving Harry a pep talk during the Battle of Hogwarts.
Now 30 years old, she is all grown up and has branched out into writing and the world of business.
