Evanna Lynch Net Worth $4 million
Lynch was an avid reader of “Harry Potter” books at a young age, and became such a fan of the series that she wrote to author J.K. Rowling expressing her appreciation. She attended Cartown National School and then later Our Lady’s College. Later on, she would study at the Centre for the Talented Youth of Ireland, focusing on drama and speculative fiction.
One of the reasons she was cast for the role of Luna Lovegood was her obsession with the “Harry Potter” series. Though she already knew J.K. Rowling before being cast, the author did not know that she was given the role of Luna until she was already cast by the producers. Evanna appeared at the open audition in London, and did a screen test with Daniel Radcliffe. She had no previous professional acting experience prior to the role, and only limited experience while at school. Her first appearance was in “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix”, and the film would become a huge success with critics giving Lynch considerable acclaim.
She would reprise the role in “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”, and her performance would earn her several nominations. She then appeared in the final two films “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” parts one and two, and also worked on the video games of the “Harry Potter” films she was a part of. The final film of the “Harry Potter” franchise would become the fifth highest-grossing film of all time and Evanna continued to rack up good reviews from the critics. According to Rowling, Lynch’s portrayal of Luna Lovegood had a lot of influence on how the character would be written later on.
After “Harry Potter”, Lynch would appear in the first season finale of “Sinbad”. She would then make a few independent films including “G.B.F” which aired in 2013, plus becoming involved in stage productions such as “Houdini” and “Dynamite: A Cautionary Tale”. Her first lead role came in 2015, in the film “My Name is Emily”.
Aside from acting, Evanna is responsible for designing many of the accessories seen in the “Harry Potter” films. She would also be featured in magazines such as “Runaway” as she did modelling work.
For her personal life, it is known that Lynch is dating Robbie Jarvis who was her co-star in “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix”. She previously had anorexia nervosa which kept her in rehabilitation clinics for two years before she was cast for her role as Luna Lovegood. Aside from that, she contributes to charity too, helping the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Ireland, and the Harry Potter Alliance (HPA).
