Still mad about Harry - sneak peak inside 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"
This time, though, we meet Luna’s equally kooky father Xenophilius Lovegood, played by Rhys Ifans.
In the opening scenes of the new adventure something happens that’s groundbreaking in the Potter series -- the wizarding world keeps breaking into the real world, with often deadly consequences.
Fearing for his life, Hagrid the giant, played by veteran British actor Robbie Coltrane, has no choice but to return Harry to the world of non-wizarding folk, known as Muggles, when they’re being pursued by Voldemort’s followers.
The sight of lethal spells breaking over the ordinary English countryside is meant to surprise and it does.
Later Harry, Hermione and Ron have no choice but flee to Shaftsbury Avenue in the heart of London when they’re running for their lives and even there they’re followed. The message is simple -- nowhere is safe.
In their dangerous quest to destroy the Horcruxes that contain pieces of Voldemort’s soul, Harry Hermione and Ron face the most dangerous challenges of their young lives and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will not disappoint the true fan or the casual admirer of the epic series, which opens nationwide on Friday.
Now that the shooting has wrapped on the final Potter film Lynch intends to take time out from her big screen career, which has taken up all of the past five years for the lucky Irish teen.
Her plan is to repeat her Irish Leaving Certificate high school exam and give herself even more career options.
Although there’s no question that Lynch plans to pursue her luck in Hollywood, she knows the acting world can be a crapshoot and she wants to ensure she has all her bases covered.
“I'm repeating the Leaving Cert, sadly, but I hope to continue acting afterwards,” the young actress explained. “That’s the thing with acting. It can be a very unsteady business so I want to make sure I have something to fall back on in case I want to go to college.”
“I love acting, though,” she continued. “It’s a great career when you’re young and you’re meeting people and you don't quite know what to do with your life.
“Harry Potter has always been a big part of my life. I started reading it when I was just eight. I think the cast all know that it’s not really over. There will still be premieres and press. People are always going to be interested in Harry Potter. We all stay in touch.”
The decision to re-sit her exams at a later date in Ireland was one that came fairly easily, she explains.
“I decided to repeat the Leaving Cert because I was so distracted with these films. I knew I wasn’t studying hard enough.
“We’d be on set, having a laugh in the green room, and I’d be saying to myself I should be studying. But then I thought, I can re-sit the exams, I can’t re-sit Harry Potter. Besides, there'll be no more filming this year, just a bit of press, so now it’s all about the exams.”
