Evanna Lynch
Irish actress Evanna Lynch got her start in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix at the age 14, after going to an open casting call and beating out 15,000 other girls. Lynch played the whimsical Luna Lovegood. After the final Harry Potter installment, Lynch went on to star in other British shows and stage productions. Lynch decided to use her Harry Potter fame for good, being a spokesperson for positive body image in young girls as she herself has previously suffered from an eating disorder. She wrote an essay titled, “Why the Body Bind is My Nightmare,” which described her struggles using allusions to the Harry Potter series.
