But most of her time Down Under will be spent with fans of her show Arrow, which is going into its seventh season.
Harkavy recalled when she found out she secured the coveted role.
“I was shocked beyond belief because I knew it would be a big role,” she said.
“When I got the call, my husband and I were in a mall in LA and I started sobbing there in the middle of the mall.
“It didn’t feel real at the time.
“I had been acting for nine years and this was a huge opportunity.”
She said couldn’t even treat herself immediately after getting the news.
“I didn’t have the money at the time to treat myself, but the role was the treat,” she said.
“I just went home and cried more.”
Supanova is at the Perth Exhibition and Convention centre until June 24.
