Evanna Lynch on Her New Memoir, The Opposite of Butterfly Hunting

Episode 454, original air date October 27, 2021, on Unity Online Radio. Listen now at UOR, on your favorite podcast app, or watch on YouTube.

This enchanting hour with the woman who, in her teens, created the Luna Lovegood character in the Harry Potter films, is not to be missed. When someone says “beautiful inside and out,” they’re describing Evanna. She’s “done the work” — overcoming anorexia, standing up for herself when her past eating disorder history threatened her place in the Harry Potter series, forging ahead as a committed ethical vegan and animal rights activist, making peace with her body through dance, aerial arts, and a beautiful spiritual connection with life on earth.
