She's best known for helping Harry Potter and his friends save the wizarding world.

But now the Irish actress who played kooky Luna Lovegood in the multi-billion dollar film series is creating magic in the kitchen instead.

Evanna Lynch, 25, has filmed a video showing how to make three iconic treats from the world famous franchise, based on J.K Rowling's books, at home.

But there's one catch: they've all been turned into vegan dishes.

Evanna Lynch has been an animal rights activist since childhood but only became a full vegan in 2015. Now she has turned classic Harry Potter treats into animal-free snacks

The actress has created dairy and egg-free versions of three of the most famous refreshments from the Harry Potter world: chocolate frogs, pumpkin pasties and a version of Butterbeer.

Using vegan chocolate, dairy-free creamer and dairy-free butter, she's made sure that her recipes don't use any animal products.

Recipe: Chocolate Frogs

The vegan chocolate frogs require you to buy - or make - frog moulds to pour melted vegan chocolate into

Evanna says: 'The perfect vegan treat for any witch, wizard and muggle. Dairy-free and frog-free, and chocolate has healing powers.'

Ingredients:

1/2 16-oz. bag vegan dark chocolate chips

1/2 16-oz. bag vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips

Method:

Place the chocolate chips in a shallow, microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir.

Heat for another 30 seconds. Repeat until the chocolate is mostly melted. Stir until melted and smooth.

Pour into frog-shaped molds and place in the freezer for two hours. Enjoy!

Recipe: Pumpkin Pasties

These vegan pumpkin pasties use vegan crescent roll dough instead of pastry containing animal products

Ingredients:

1 pkg. vegan crescent rolls

1/2 16-oz. can pumpkin purée

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 tsp. nutmeg

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Method:

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Roll out the crescent roll dough, then cut in half.

Mix together the pumpkin, sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Spread over the bottom half of each square of dough, then fold the top half over the filling. Press the edges together with a fork to seal.

Place the pasties on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and cool for 3 to 5 minutes. Eat!
