Did you know that Evanna Lynch corresponded with J. K. Rowling before she was cast as Luna Lovegood? Please remind me the next time I get snarky about The Presence about substantive, life-changing gestures like this that JKR made during the Mania madness to help young people through serious issues. Enjoy the dance!

Luna is one of the rare elements that improved from the books to the movies. I honestly didn’t have much affinity for the character before I saw EL perform it. I am so happy to hear her story; and her dance was lovely too. I admire JKR’s commitment to destigmatizing mental illness.
I agree with Louise; EL was a wonderful Luna. Thank you for sharing this heart-warming video.
