Evanna Lynch teases Ameline’s mystery in “Dragon Striker” and her approach to the character 

LOS ANGELES — In Disney XD’s animated series “Dragon Striker,” Ameline is a quiet, mysterious member of a group of young athletes training at a magical academy—.but her silence may be hiding more than it seems.

Voiced by Evanna Lynch, she joins main character Key and his teammates Ssyelle and Milo as they compete in Gototama, a fictional sport that blends soccer-style gameplay with magical abilities.

The story follows Key, an underdog student who enters an elite academy determined to prove himself in a highly competitive world.

While Key pushes forward on his journey, Ameline stands out as someone who may understand far more about their surroundings than she reveals.

“She has her own mission, I don’t want to say too much,” Lynch teased while speaking with On The Red Carpet.

Lynch says she was first introduced to Ameline through only a couple of images, but immediately connected with the character’s design and energy.

“The immediate impression was small, big eyes, you know and I kind of was like ‘this is a character I’m going to get.’ There’s just a quality of her that I felt I can tune in to her.”

The “Harry Potter” star also highlighted one of the show’s central ideas, a group of unlikely heroes trying to navigate a much bigger world.

“You have this team of underdogs, and they care so much about what they’re doing and they’re trying so hard, but they don’t have the full picture of what’s going on in the whole world around them,” she said. “I think that’s a very unique and interesting journey that the show has put them on, that they are trying to find themselves in a very capricious environment.”

At its heart, “Dragon Striker” is also about found family, as the students form close bonds despite being from different backgrounds and facing rival groups.

“Every character is so different and has such a different backstory and such a different level of skills on the field. I think that’s a beautiful thing for viewers to watch and find something in each person that they can identify with.”

All episodes of “Dragon Striker” are streaming now on Disney+ and Hulu.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Disney+ and this station.
