She was disappointed that she would miss the book release of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix as she had been hospitalised. However, the hospital released her the morning of the launch for a few hours and a local bookstore arranged for her to receive a copy signed by J.K. Rowling.  She showed up wearing a Harry Potter T-shirt, and blue nail polish that had "Harry Potter" written on every other nail and a Golden Snitch on the rest.  She also had painted-on Harry Potter glasses and had written "I Love Harry Potter" down her arms.

J.K. Rowling said that if she beat anorexia she could audition for the role of Luna. She did and she got the role.
