Evanna was perfect as Luna so I'm ok with this rejection even tho I adore Saoirse lol plus, she did great for herself without HP, so win-win <3

Saoirse is always almost getting cast as iconic characters.

I don't think Luna is Irish in the books though? Isn't she Ron's neighbor?

[ginainabottle]

she was, but she moved there when she was 9 after her mom died.

mte I had no idea she was canonically Irish

I feel like she mentions this every 2-3 years lol.

But clearly it worked out better for her!

I remember liking the idea of Harry x Luna ship.
