Evanna is from Termonfeckin, County Louth, Ireland. She lives with her father Donal, mother Marguerite, elder sisters Máiréad and Emily, and younger brother Patrick.
As of September 2007, she is in her fourth year at Our Lady's College, Greenhills, an all girls' Catholic school located in Drogheda, Ireland. While filming however, she does not attend Greenhills but is tutored on set. During her primary school years, she attended Cartown National School.
She has been attending CTYI and completed a 'Speculative Fiction' course. She will be returning to CTYI this July.
Lynch is a huge Harry Potter fan and, according to her family, is obsessed with the series. As a younger child, she constantly wrote to J.K. Rowling, and in one such letter the youngster commented how much she would love to act in a Harry Potter film but doubted this would happen as she lived in "this sleepy little place called Termonfeckin, where nothing ever happened". To Lynch's surprise, Rowling replied, saying "Don't be too hard on Termonfeckin; it does have a brilliant name! And I come from a very sleepy place".
In 2003, aged eleven, Lynch was disappointed that she would miss the release of the fifth book in the series, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix as she had been hospitalised. However, the hospital released her for the morning of the launch and a local bookstore arranged for her to receive a copy signed by author Rowling. Lynch's love for the novels even saw her choosing to name her cat Luna, who has had several kittens, one of them named Dumbledore. Another cat she had owned which died in early 2006 had been named Crookshanks, after character Hermione Granger's cat.
Lynch is an avid visitor to the Harry Potter fan site MuggleNet. She also called in to the popular Harry Potter-themed podcast, PotterCast, to talk about the title of the seventh Harry Potter book (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) on the day it was announced.
