EMILY PRESCOTT: Harry Potter actress Evanna Lynch gets a wake-up call after supporting JK Rowling
Actress Evanna Lynch was one of the few Harry Potter stars to support JK Rowling when the author became embroiled in a row over trans rights.
Now Evanna, who played Harry’s girlfriend Luna Lovegood in the films, admits she was naive not to expect an online backlash for supporting Rowling.
