SHE MAY NOT have been crowned the winner during last night’s Dancing With The Stars final in the US, but Evanna Lynch’s support squad was second to none.
The 27-year-old from Co Louth, who was paired with pro Keo Motsepe in the show, was inundated with well wishes from her Harry Potter co-stars ahead of last night’s final challenge.
Evanna, who played Luna Lovegood in the franchise, received video messages from JK Rowling, Emma Watson, Tom Felton, Matthew Lewis, James Phelps, Katie Leung and Bonny Wright as she prepared to go head-to head with model Alexis Ren, Disney Channel star Milo Manheim and radio host, Bobby Bones.

Emma sounded particularly bowled over by Evanna’s achievements thus far, squealing:
Evanna! You are in the final! Can we just say this again? You are in the final! I am so proud of you! We love you. We are rooting for you. Kill it tonight, girl.
In the end, Evanna, who received a perfect 10 score in previous episodes, lost out to Bobby Bones and his pro partner Sharna Burgess.
