Evanna Lynch’s casting as Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter films is a tale that grew to almost mythic proportions - a legend of how she faced disordered eating as a young girl, found solace in a beloved book series, and later landed the part of her favorite character. But that is not the whole story.

Stark, honest, and true

I do not typically enjoy autobiographies, but I do enjoy Evanna Lynch as a reader for audiobooks, so I gave it a chance. And it turns out, she writes just as well as she reads. Her story is beautiful in its misery, and hilarious in the self-awareness as she reflects on the past. Few writers dare to so bluntly put their honest mind into words, often choosing the more palatable approach. I am glad to say Evanna does not hold back from telling her story how she experienced it, and I’m glad to have had her guidance through this facet of her life.

In this BBC full-cast production, Julius Caesar is triumphant after his victory over the sons of Pompey. But as bad omens and weather plague Rome, even his most loyal friends are starting to see the signs.... Political intrigue and fierce battle rage in this tense and dynamic production in which a country is torn apart under the legacy of Julius Caesar, 'the colossus'. Gerard Murphy, Stella Gonet, Samantha Bond and Nicholas Farrell star in Shakespeare's turbulent Roman history.

No heads up that this is modified to be set in the 20th century. I want a genuine performance of the Roman era, and now I’m stuck with this version
