Daily Inspiration Quote by Evanna Lynch

"My cats - I have Luna who's just had kittens recently and we called one of them Dumbledore. They're nice but they're not like their characters"

About this Quote

Celebrity pet talk is usually PR-grade fluff, but Evanna Lynch’s line has a sly, self-aware edge. She starts in full cozy-confessional mode: Luna (already a name that winks at her Harry Potter legacy) has kittens, one is Dumbledore. It’s fan-service delivered as domestic reality, the kind of detail that makes an actor seem reachable without feeling manufactured.

Then she pivots: “They’re nice but they’re not like their characters.” That little deflation is the tell. Lynch is acknowledging the gravitational pull of fictional identities - how names become costumes we want reality to wear. Fans want the cat named Dumbledore to be wise, cryptic, maybe faintly disappointed in everyone. She refuses the premise with a gentle shrug. The humor lands because it’s a miniature version of her larger career bind: she’s forever adjacent to “Luna Lovegood,” a character audiences project onto her, looking for quirks and etherial wisdom in interviews, activism, even her face.

The subtext is boundary-setting disguised as a light anecdote. Naming the kitten Dumbledore is playful; insisting the kitten won’t perform “Dumbledore-ness” is a quiet assertion that stories don’t get to annex everything they touch. It’s also a reminder of why fandom can be both tender and invasive: it encourages intimacy while flattening the person into a role. Lynch threads that needle with warmth, not bitterness, making the point without breaking the spell.
