| | |  Rhys Ifans talks Xeno Lovegood & working with Evanna Lynch in Deathly Hallows
In a recent interview to promote his upcoming feature, Greenberg, actor Rhys Ifans not only spoke about being cast as Xeno Lovegood in Deathly Hallows, but working alongside on-screen daughter, Evanna Lynch, who plays Luna.  Quote:
"This is the first film that I've ever done that I'm not really allowed to talk about. But it's great. I play Luna Lovegood's (Evanna Lynch) father (and editor of the Quibbler), Xenophilius Lovegood. And it was a thrill."
When you're an English actor and you get the call from Harry Potter, that is like getting your stripes. It was great. You end up on set and there's all these actors that you've worked with before or crossed paths with. So we'd all be sitting there in our chairs eating our soggy English sandwiches, pumping it up, dressed up like wizards. It was a pleasantly surreal experience."
On working with Evanna, Rhys said he was thrilled and somewhat intimidated about meeting someone who knew so much about the Harry Potter books. Quote:
"She's amazing," he said. "If there's a question on set -- and they have a plethora of researchers and people who've read the books -- but if anyone needs to know ANY miniscule detail about anything that has happened in any Harry Potter novel from start to finish, they ask her. She knows it all. So it was quite intimidating. I was working with this expert in Harry Potter. But she was a joy to work with. All of them, all of the kids or whatever you call them, it was just a great couple of weeks."
Rhys and Deathly Hallows costar Emma Thompson (Professor Trelawney) attended the London premiere of their movie, Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang (also starring Maggie Smith and Ralph Fiennes), in March. Photos of the two can be found in our galleries.

I remember Evanna quoted she's more than a fan than an HP star. Cute.

He looks handsome in the premiere, can't wait to see his goofy side in Deathly Hallows.

Amazing news! Rhys said a brilliant quote about Evanna. Evanna is just brilliant of watch she knows about HP and I'm sure Emma Thompson has done a really good job in McPhee and the Big Bang. I'm really looking forward to see that movie.

That's neat. Expecially the fact about Evanna being the on set books. It's really nice that they have a fan in the series. I reckon it's what makes her play Luna so well. I can't wait to see Rhys in the films!

Oh, seeing him as Xeno is going to be amazing. It sounds like he's having such fun on set with Evanna (Luna) and it's going to be so easy to see him portrayed as her father.
