- This episode is part two of our conversation with our friend Evanna Lynch, who played Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter films.
In this episode things get personal. We get honest about going to therapy, having our identities stolen online and how the Potter films changed our lives.
On a lighter note, we also talk about Evanna’s time on the USA’s Dancing with the Stars, our favourite Potter moments and our dream circus skills.
If you’re struggling with your mental health, please know you’re not alone. We hear you. Take a look at the Samaritans or Mind websites and reach out to family and friends. Help is out there.

Normal Not Normal is a Stabl production.
Produced by Alice Homewood.
TH-cam version edited by Oliver and James Phelps.
Music: 'Not Normal' by Sebastian Forslund and 'Bobby Swing' by The Bladwerk Band
James and Oliver Phelps (aka Fred and George Weasley) talk to a star-studded selection of friends, colleagues and personal heroes who stepped into the limelight at a young age, and find out what “normal” means to them. As identical twins who grew up on the Harry Potter film set as Fred and George Weasley, you could never say that the pair had a “normal” start to life. But recently, they’ve been thinking: what does “normal” mean anyway? Ready your ears for behind-the-scenes Potter revelations; outrageous rants; frank conversations about mental health; and even the odd, ‘did-you-know?’
evanna: “what would you do in the circus??”
james: “i’d be the one getting shot out the cannonball”
oliver: “and i’d be the one firing it up”
FRED AND GEORGE ENERGY 100%
YES YES YES I AGREE

Same
Me everytime
Honestly
Evanna's point about vegans being more understanding towards farmers and people whose livelihoods and communities are based around the farming of animals is a very good point because many people get so stuck in their own beliefs instead of using empathy to realize how much people's lives may depend on farming and something that seems to be totally normal to them, so being more understanding can bring people together on the issue more effectively
That ! And for me it’s the point when she says that the change must come from within you. Not someone who told you to become like that. It’s so true and it’s exactly what I say to my friends or around me. Forcing someone will never result in anything good. But explaining, showing an other point of view may make people see in different perspective and the change may come. Loved all the talk about veganism because Evanna really is smart and inspiring about her way to see things.
I've been vegan for five years and this has always been the most effective sort of conversation I have with others. There are some amazing groups such as The Vegan Society, Vganic and the Vegan Organic Network- which offer education and support to farmers, giving advice and funding to convert their animal agriculture to plant based farming. The Refarm'd initiative has converted many small dairy and beef farms into plant farms, oat growers and oat milk producers. It's truly amazing as their work is not about going against cow and dairy farmers, but rather about working with the farmers to help them shift in a way that benefits everybody. Change definitely starts from within- and we must teach children of all backgrounds and incomes critical thinking skills from a young age to help them question aspects of our lives and the impact of these actions. I was only able to be taught and invest myself in critical thinking through getting a scholarship and trust funding bursaries supporting my family, allowing me to go to private school- and that school putting me in prospective Oxford and Cambridge programmes. This shouldn't be a privilege, it should be an obligation for us to teach our children these skills. Evanna can be very inspiring, and you can tell that after the podcast she would like to educate James and Oliver further about the impact we have and how easy it is to change.
I have found myself listening to her podcast since its mention here. It's quite easy listening for driving and exercising and has gotten me interested in what veganism is about. Up to episode 25 now.
She's the one nice vegan then?
@@lazyhomebody1356 Probably one of the few online lmao.
I clicked on the video faster then Dumbledore asking Harry CLAMLY of he put his name in the goblet of fire🤣
Omg lol
ma dude y u gotta do dat to dumbledore
I loved that book and the film too!😃
LOL!🤣
same lmfaoooo
James: *cares for creatures big and small*
Oliver: *also cares for creatures big and small but isn't as enthusiastic*
Both hearing that a man tried to shoot and armadillo and the bullet backfired and got him in the jaw: *wheezing and happy because the armadillo survived and the human was hurt*
That's why, as Evy says on her podcast, they are "potential vegans" xx
Wait can you please tell me the time stamp I can’t find it :)
Yes, what was the time code of that?
lmaoooo, i love this😂
@Acadia Robichaud im honestly not sure, but its hilarious as hell
James talking about Uranus-
James:AhE🤣
They are too wholesome for this world😌❤️
Did you know fact-
James and Oliver’s podcast is the only reason why I stay up at 1 in the morning!
I regret nothing😌❤️
Me reading this while watching at 4 am 👁👄👁
Me reading this at 4:16 am
She may be the only person I've heard in decades that is truly open minded yet strong on her beliefs. How difficult that must be yet she makes it effortless.
Every episode starts with a consistent “hola👹” from Oliver and I’m here for it
i love how oliver still encourages james to talk about stargazing even though he has absolutely no idea what he’s talking about
It's great that they are so supportive of each other!
“oh good, how did it go?”
“umm I was swearing at the person giving instructions in the video..”
dude my top three favorite characters are the Weasley twins and Luna Lovegood
samee
Yeah same😍 best feeling ever when I saw they released one with Evanna
Here’s the thing about George’s “Morning” scene that needs to be talked about more: he came in brushing his teeth then proceeds to PUT THAT SAME TOOTHBRUSH in his ear hole? Ear canal? Wound? What was up with that 🤠
I KNOW
THANK YOU, I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS.
PLS it was so funny but what the hell 😀
It was wHolly unexpected...
Get it? :p
i thought i was the only one that noticed that!!
THIS starts and 1:00am in the morning here but ima still watch it
Lol
SAME lol 😂
SAME (at least I hope lol )
Samee
3am in my country and i also will watch it
I really like the way she express her thoughts. She's so outspoken but in a sweet way
i don’t activate the reminder for my classes or meetings, but i do activate the reminder for this podcast, priorities
You have your priorities sorted.
@@neera3167 Ron jealous: she NEEDS to sort out her priorities
i love how Oliver is so confused with James´s did you know facts
James and Oliver: always speak to someone
Gen Z: *talks to posters of Harry Potter characters
No but I literally just talk to hp characters even tho they aren’t here 😃🤚
Me: *Sees that it will be part 2*
Also me: *Preparing snacks*
LOL
Same 😀🤚 my mum brought me up a whole breakfast- 😂
james is now aggressively googling why it’s called neptune🏃🏃
Then he watches game changer 👩🦯
The fact that I would bet on this 🧍🏽♀️
Istg James is the only person who will have my full attention when talking About planets
Me as a Ravenclaw fully interested 😃😂
Same plus I love Astronomy
Without a doubt The Phelps and this podcast is making 2021 a lot better.
This helps to get up early (6.00am UK time) especially when classes start at 8.55 and I'm so slow to get ready
LMAO SAME
IKKKK
I feel bad for the people America time
I can't do this becuase I can't fall asleep until about half past 2 in the morning so I gotta wake up at 8 for my online lessons which start at 8:40😞😞😞
Hahahah same
Her voice is invincible.🥺❤
I just wanna say that the Phelps Brothers share a birthday with me on February 25th and I’m honored. 😊 I love them so much and they have come so far in their career from movies to podcasts. 💓💓💓
lucky lol
Evanna: What's your favourite meal?
Oliver: StEaK
It’s really nice to hear celebrities talking about therapy openly as we are often made to feel like it’s something taboo. Thank you for making it feel more normal, like it’s okay to have therapy. Thank you for taking the time to talk about mental health and putting links in the bio, true inspirations x
Imagine James and Oliver being partners in DWTS and will dance with each other 💀
PLS-💀
Omg-
that would be a train-wreck
IT WOULD BE SO CHAOTIC OMG💀
thank you for putting this image in my head
I swear this is the only podcast that I listen to
I have a feeling that if James and Oliver filmed these podcasts in the same room together there would be hours and hours of deleted footage of then bickering and ranting at each other 😂
and this will be my alarm to get up for lessons
Same 😀🤚
Can we just appreciate the fact that this is exactly 1 hour and 7 mins long. 😌💅🏻✨
I swear I learn more from James’ did u know facts than actually from school
I learned more about planets here, then I did in school.
Ok James I have a ‘did you know’ for next week, ok hear me out...
“Did you know that sloths can hold their breaths longer than dolphins”
Now you probably already know this but I didn’t and wanted to share it :)
Love you guys
Oh really? That's interesting
I’ve got one too!! They said they read comments so hopefully they see ours
But did you know that a strawberry isn’t a berry but a banana is?
Why did I read this in James' voice 😭
hes gonna love this
Sometimes sloths mistake their arm for a branch so they grab it and then fall out of the tree
I’m so happy she talked about therapy because I too feel like everyone should go to therapy. I truly evolved as a person and became more compassionate and my relationships with my family grew.
“when you have a vegan pizza, do you have pineapple on it?”
“ew no”
But.. I like pineapple on pizza
@@Cecilia-zm4dj i’ll give you the benefit of the doubt, i’m allergic so i can agree w/ Evanna lol
@@Cecilia-zm4dj Same
@@Cecilia-zm4dj me too XD
I love you guys so much! I just wanted to make a quick note in the politest way I can, as a Cherokee Native American decendant, the techniqually correct term for "Indians" is actually Native Americans. I personally just see this as a more accurate and respectful way of addressing Natives. Its just that, "Indians" was the name the English explorers gave Natives because they believed they were in India so the term is actually incorrrect😊But totally love that you do these little facts and included something really facinating and educational in your videos!! Lots of Love ❤
I think it’s really sad that all three have experienced issues with their privacy and have felt violated. I’m just very angry that people feel the need to actually stalk and harass them. They’re normal people like us, they deserve privacy and respect :(
Imma be late because I physically cannot get up that early💀
☄︎. *. ⋆

Accurate representation of james star gazing
this too cute
Oliver: whats agriculture got to do with it??
James: son of a-
BAHAHAHHAHA
James: well if you want me to really bore you-
Oliver: a simple yes or no will be fine.
did u know that the only reason i stay up late is because of James and Oliver's podcasts?
I remember evanna in a previous interview had said she suffered from anorexia and an eating disorder and it got really bad she was so into Harry Potter as that became her escape. She is really open about stuff which is great because so many people suffer from these issues such as the ones she highlighted not fitting in school being bullied , not being popular, not being well and needing therapy. She covered all the points and explained everything so well. James and Oliver are such good hosts. Wishing all of you the best for the future and excited to see upcoming podcasts and movies.
you guys should definitely go on dancing with the stars together omg 😭😭
when you're in EST and the premiere starts at 1:00 a.m.- 🥲

@Acadia Robichaud when it’s 10am 😌
The only podcast I watch without getting bored
Calorie question made me feel a bit awkward, considering ....... But apart from that, it was a lovely chat and a nice intro for me to your channel (I've watched both halves and now will subscribe :) ) - it's very chill and nothings forced :D
i like evanna so much in this podcast! She seems realy grounded and interesting
Honey I’m not gonna be up at six in the morning- school or no school

GOOD BYE 😭🤚🏼
I DIED at that part lmao
When was is it? Can someone please tell me?
@@askng_for_a_frend in the beginning
@@katyyycatt Thanks 🙏🏻 I missed that then
The only reason I like waking up early is because of this podcast. And by early I mean 1am.
I just didn’t sleep ⛄️
I really enjoyed listening to the knowledge Evanna, James, and Oliver poured out to us. It honestly helps me process my thoughts and learn different ideas from humans I look up to (inspiring change). I am motivated and passionate in all the topics discussed. THANK YOU!!!
OMG the giggles James did 🥺😭
Normal is who you are every day. My son has an ASD and has ADHD. They tell him he’s weird or not normal. But that is him being normal - that’s his normal.
Evanna: what is your favorite meal??
Oliver: steak! (Without thinking)
Evanna:damm it
Hahaha I canttt😂
These always start at one in the morning for me (I love in the US) Btw love you Oliver and James 🤗❤️
Sammmeeeee
Same
Same
James and Oliver YOU are so so nice I hope you get all the happienes in tne world, and you to Evanna👏👏👏👏💪🏻👍🏻❤❤❤
This is the longest and funniest podcast I have ever seen in my life!!
I have no clue why I laugh so hard when James and Oliver start talking talking over each other.
James: *did you know armadillo shells are bulletproof?*
Oliver: *yeah this one guy tried to shoot an armadillo but the bullet came off and actually hit him in the jaw*
Both: *.............😐😶😶😶😶😶🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣*
I can see that going in a compilation somewhere on TikTok 🙂
THIS WAS THE BEST EPISODE TILL NOW!!!! THE AMOUNT OF THINGS I LEARNT📈
This helps me trough my stress of school every week
I really love these two men
James’ heehee honestly killed me 🤣
I’m glad that y’all brushed on the topic of mental health and leaving links in the description for good sources for help.
the only thing i look forward to every week is a new wandavision episode and a new james and oliver podcast
James: "Well if you want me to really bore you-"
Ollie: "Not really, just a yes or no will do."
James: "Well-"
So sad😭
This podcast is the reason why I wake up, feeling so happy, every Monday morning!! ❤️
4:07 “that big gas planet hehe” 😭
Ima wake up in 3 hours at 12am and watch it, no one can change my mind
That giggle 😩 4:07
34:25 mood
“if they’re not good we don’t want them” BAHAHAHA i love eve
This is the first interview that I watched on this channel and I loved everything about it! The conversation was so funny and you talked about so many interesting topics. Would have loved to join the conversation. You are all amazing people!
It was such a deep conversation! And I love deep conversations! Besides I was delighted when I found out Evanna is a writer! You know, I think she and I are somehow alike. We're both introverted and are interested in writing, reading and fantasy stuff.
I don't have the time for writing though, I'm 16 and it's hard to study at high school.😭😂
4:05 JAMES' LITTLE GIGGLE- MY HEART
In Italian, the days of the week follow this logic: Lunedì (Luna - Moon, day); Martedì (Marte - Mars, day), Mercoledì (Mercurio - Mercury, day); Giovedì (Giove - Jupiter, day); Venerdì (Venere - Venus, day); Sabato (Saturday) and Domenica (Sunday) have different names instead. But we can understand "their gods" from English (Saturday, Saturn; Sunday, Sun). The original name, I read, have been replaced by names from the most important monotheistic religions (Sabato - Shabbath, Domenica (from the latin Dominicus, day of God).
I love you guys,
16:07 is exactly how I think of British and Irish people 😂I feel called out
I really like this podcast, and I like it even more when James talks about astronomy.
Happy early birthday Oliver and James! Hope you guys have a fantastic birthday!😁🎉❤️
EVANNA: what would you do in the circus?
JAMES: I’d be shot out of the cannon.
OLI: I’d be the one lighting the fuse.
EVANNA: I’m not sure if that counts as a full act...
OLI: *laughs manically *
aUUGHH thank you thank you thank you as always for continuing these podcasts and THANK YOU FOR HAVING EVANNA ON ! you three will be the end of me
This is the only podcast I actually like. And since i am such a Potter head, it makes it so much better. And its so interiging to listen to them about like there lives kinda. And thr facts. The FACTS.
james looks so in awe
I’m screaaaaming for that giggle that James gave us😂
I don't envy any of you. It's pretty scary how so many fans seem not to be able to distinguish fantasy from reality. Lovely, entertaining podcast. Kia ora from Aotearoa.
I just finished watching the podcast and this is so true please please don’t save/keep yours feeling to yourself!! find someone to talk to it will do only good to you!! I save my feelings for a long of times and I really regret it now because I going through a hard time now with pills and therapy’s and I feel like everyone is moving on and I just stay in the same place because those panic attacks control my life and I don’t want this, so please please talk with someone 🧡🧡
I really like how Evanna and Oliver are discussing veganism, they're so respectful and open-minded
what ive learned from this podcast is that Saturn's dads name is Keith.
I must say oliver and james are amazing hosts and the conversation is so nice and flowing, they are very good at this and seeing evanna share so much is nice
Danny & The Human Zoo was brilliant
I didn't click it was Evanna for ages
James: "I haven't told anyone this...."
Proceeds to tell EVERYONE one who watches this podcast 🤣
I really adore Evanna, especially after your conversation. So open, tremendous, kind person.
And I can't stop myself and not to tell about Vladimir Nabokov, author of book Evanna'd told about. If you suddenly want to read him, "Lolita' isn't a good variant for first time. His narrator is "unreliable", subject is amoral, so the POV is unexpected, embarrassing, completely shocking and i'd say, disgusting and kind of fascinating. In the book he kind of investigated souls like entomologist explored insects. I'd say, the scandalous fame of "Lolita" and it's subject, plot's details he've described really vividly could interfere to read. But his books are worth to read, cause he's brilliantly play with expressive means, points of view, genres etc. I'd advice "Laughter in the Dark", "King, Queen, Knave", "Invitation to a Beheading", "Pale Fire" and his lectures on literature. Nerd mode off ))))
I love Pale Fire!
