Potty Over 'Potter'!
Wednesday November 10 2010 12:14 PM
Technology, the Internet, Pop Culture, Lady Gaga…all things that define the current generation, but nothing quite strikes a chord of nostalgia like the Harry Potter books. While the other things can be revisited, re-watched or listened to.. for those who have grown up with the Harry Potter craze, the awe experienced with a first reading of J.K Rowling's fantasy world is something which simply cannot be recaptured! Would you agree?
In the run up to the new flick, it seems that the country has gone potty over Potter, and we won't lie.. we're rather excited about this one as well!
For the launch of this year's MS READaTHON we caught up with Irish actress, Evanna Lynch, a girl who has been catapulted into stardom with her role as the weird and whimsical Luna Lovegood. Like you, Evanna was a MS READaTHON veteran in her school days, flinging herself into the challenge and reading countless fantasy books for our annual campaign. Through her love of all things imaginative, she was introduced to Potter mania and her eyes were opened to the magical world of Hogwarts. What can we say.. the rest, of course, is history! These days Evanna is known as the 'go-to girl' on the set because of her indepth knowledge of everything 'Potter' related. We're sure that after your month of reading, you may be able to rival her expertise though?! We hope that you are enjoying your reading adventures and we wish you the best of luck getting sponsorship in the last week.
