The Art Of Living Now with actress Evanna Lynch

On this bonus Christmas episode of The Art Of Living Now Emma-Louise is joined by actress, writer and podcaster, Evanna Lynch who many of you may well recognize as Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter, a role she was cast in at just 14 years old. Evanna joined the Harry Potter franchise for the fifth installment of the film series - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) and reprised her role in successive sequels to critical praise, concluding with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 (2011).  In 2013 Evanna made her stage debut touring the UK in Houdini and went on to appear in numerous theatre productions thereafter, at one point ascending a somewhat different stage when she competed in Dancing with the stars, coming third place. Well done. Evanna is also an activist advocating for veganism and animal rights - hosted a podcast on veganism Called Chickpeeps and co-founded the vegan and cruelty-free make-up and beauty care box Kinder Beauty Box. She has just published her first book, a memoir entitled ‘The Opposite of Butterfly Hunting - the tragedy and glory of growing up’ about how she overcame a life-threatening eating disorder, began to conquer her self-hate and confronted her fear of leaving the neatness and safety of girlhood for the unpredictable journey of being a woman.
