Katherine McNamara Dishes About How Shadowhunters Fans Made The Show Much More Than Just Magical Creatures

Katherine McNamara is lit up in bright blue in this amazing shot from her A Book Of feature.

The 24-year-old actress opened up in the glossy about her role on Arrow, and how Shadowhunters fans are still close to her heart. Check it:

On booking the role of Mia Smoak: “It has been a huge gift and it was a big responsibility. When I first started filming, I didn’t know that Mia was Oliver Queen’s kid. In fact she wasn’t even named Mia at that time. And when I found out who her character was, I knew immediately that I have my work cut out for me. Stephen Amell and Emily Bett Rickards have spent so many years doing it.”

On her character Mia Smoak: “The people that I love are people that I keep very closely. And like Mia, I will do anything for the people that I consider family; the people that are close to me.”

On Shadowhunters’s legacy: “The fans took a show that was about magical creatures, angels and demons and they fought to the core; to the heart of the characters, to what the story is really about – about love and acceptance, and about the fact that no matter who you are and no matter what you’re made of, you have the potential to be a hero based on the choices that you make.”

A portion of the proceeds for this issue will be going to Girl Up campaign.
