@@erics2056 the term "looney" also comes from the moon, as it was thought at one point that madness was caused by the moon influencing people. It is funny that both her and her father were regarded in the books to be mad because they thought differently.
I love how Luna is always calm, no matter what the situation is. I also liked when she closed Dobby's eyes and said:" There, he looks like he's sleeping now."
And unfortunately picked on by others. As a “jock” in school I stepped in often to stop kids picking on people like Luna and as a teacher called kids out for doing the same. I know as a teacher I shouldn’t have but it just always burned me that people like Luna would be picked on when their hearts were always in the right place. I’d rather have a class full of Lunas than a class full of homecoming royalty!
Mark Lumley Why would it be wrong as a teacher to prevent bullying? Isn’t it a teacher’s job to make sure students learn in school and to help make sure there are no obstacles, like bullying, to prevent them from learning. Think of how many kids would be saved each year if their teachers stopped the bullying. Teen Suicide rates are not going down after years of schools saying they will do something about bullying in the wake of the Columbine shootings. Instead of apologizing for protecting your students you should be challenging other teachers to do the same.
The Problem i see is: most Teachers think they have enough work and/or are allready totally desillusionated by their students, so they simply gave up and now smile on Teachers who refuse to do the same. At my School - im German and go to a Gymnasium which is the same as High School if you want to say so - we have a SchulPsychologe, someone who is payed to take care about bulling and stuff. But i remenber that i always went to my Class Teacher or my Schulbegleitung - thats somebody who helps People like Luna in the School so they dont get Problems - so i dont know how much that helps. I also hab my Problems with bulling, but after everbody knew whats special about me, it stopped. Now it starded again because of some new Kids in the Class, but im okay. The Teachers know whats going on and already told them of.
Now realizing she was talking about her and was potentially talking directly to the reader, i wonder if Luna Lovegood can break the 4th wall in any way or to any point (i mean how much)
Luna as a character was unapologetically herself and unique. She teaches people that being true to yourself regardless of what other people think is what truly matters.
William Smith at least she’ll be happy with herself, it seems to me that u r insecure and only care about what other people think and not what makes you happy
Luna is literally the person who helped me build my self esteem. She literally in a few pages, just seeing how comfortable in herself, changed me. I am forever greatful
I love that “ditsy silly looney Luna” was in ravenclaw. The “smart” house. It’s shows that intelligence comes in many ways, she is a very knowledgeable Witch!
Exactly. I’m a Ravenclaw but I’m not ridiculously smart, however I see myself as creative, individual, and have a huge imagination, and also find myself rather diligent, like Luna. It says that you might be in Ravenclaw if you’ve a READY mind, meaning a hunger to learn, explore and unleash your curiosity, not necessarily a REALLY SMART mind.
My favorite Luna line will always be: *Harry:* “Professor McGonagall, Voldemort’s on his way.” *Luna:* “Oh, are we allowed to say the name now?” She is amazing.
That's a wonderful question. When I was growing up (the 60s - 70s) the concept of being interested in anything but sports made a target of you by everyone in school. I built models of space-themed shows, especially Star Trek, which wasn't very popular until after The Motion Picture came out. Even then, I was picked on for building model rockets... That finally worked! My inspiration came from the character of Scotty (James Doohan) who autographed my homemade model of the Enterprise with the phrase, approved by Scotty, on the primary hull then gave me a huge bear hug. It was the only encouragement I ever got on my love of science, but it was enough to make me strive toward what I loved. I put my skills to good use over the years and it all came from my inspiration of James Doohan and his character of Scotty. Luna Lovegood reminds me of how I was treated at that age and I was happy to see that at least she had a caring father, but was strong enough to endure everything else and maintain her compassion and caring for those around her.
I complete understand! Let me take a guess and say as of today your probably more educated and in a better place in your life than the people who bullied you! “Do not pity the dead, Harry, pity the living, and above all those who live without love.”
@@sarahkinsey5434 - Yes, they do... And I'm very much one of those nerds! Texas is a very strange place to be born and raised when you don't follow the religion of football.
@Sirius Blanworth - I love that characters in great stories inspire so many people. My wife & I fell in love with the whole Harry Potter universe... Well, after a lot of prompting from the kids. As far as who I relate most to... I think equal parts, Neville and Luna.
I worked at Universal's Studios Hogwart's Express when it first opened. During my interview, they asked me a lot of Harry Potter questions. But, the only one I truly remember was "Who is your favorite Harry Potter character and why?" I said "Luna Lovegood. Because she reminds me of myself. Everyone just thinks she's this quiet, crazy, ditzy blonde (P.S. I have Platinum blonde hair as well), but in reality she's the most self-aware and intelligent character and she sees all things others don't. Physically and emotionally." I got the job. BONUS FACT: While working on the train, all the Harry Potter cast members were there recording promotional spots for the park and other TV shows. I turned around really quickly after opening the gates and nearly plowed right into Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood actress) of all people. Our faces were like 2 inches away from each other. I was fan-girling so hard, but we aren't allowed to stop them and talk. So, I just had to apologize quickly and get back to work.
The Dusleys would fine her to be odd, probably take offense from her aloofness, and she’d be wondering just what their problem was not seeing herself as the cause
I do wonder what her exact wording towards them would be if she found out about the cupboard. She did get a bit angry whenever Hermione insulted the Quibbler, after all, so her friend being literally abused should be a step above that.
I find it sad, overwhelmingly beautiful and relatable that despite how little Luna cared of others people's opinions, she was really affected on how lonely she was to the point that she started to value her new friends too much. (I'm talking about the Trio, Neville and Ginny's painting in Luna's room)
@@malvulable4351 There were a few things reading the books that broke me on the first reading: Dumbledore telling Harry he cared too much, Bobby's tombstone, and this. (I was more shocked than anything by the big twist in book six that was hiding in plain sight all along.)
This is why Luna Lovegood is the HP character I most connect to, and am alike. We both are school outcasts, and have our quirks that people don’t like. However, our confidence in ourselves prevents us from feeling bad about it. Neither of us desire to change who we are in order to have friends, we simply let those who are “attracted” to our quirks float our way.
you know, if the hp universe is real, i would love to befriend luna. A very extraordinary chat with her over hot chocolate/tea or butterbeer sounds so appealing.
What character made me feel it’s okay to be different? Honestly. It’s a tough call between Neville and Luna. But I’ll pick Neville, because I relate to him the most compared to all the characters. Where I was bullied endlessly when I was younger, was rather weak. But later developed with skills and inner strength. Not saying I could kill a snake with a sword nowadays 😂 just I too have improved in life. Neville didn’t have to change to make others happy, he still stayed as his own character. It just developed from within.
William Smith Interesting perspective and I get where you’re comming from but unfortunately people can still turn out to be stupid liberals even if they got bullied at a young age. It really depends on how the person deals with it, they can work hard and achieve what they want regardless of what others say or they can be depressed and cry about every insult thrown at them.
Honestly, when I first read the books, I thought Luna was going to end up with Harry. Even in the movies, it seems that she has more chemistry and screen time with Harry than Ginny did with Harry.
The thing is that Harry wouldn't be good for Luna as he wouldn't help her implement her crazy ideas like hunting Nargles or Crumple Horned Snorkacks . I think Luna and Rolf Scamander are better because they both like magical creatures. So they can help each other in their business
A great explanation of Luna’s contribution to the series. She represents a certain type of intelligence that we need to complement other types of intelligence
I'd never thought about her like that, but it's so well put and so true! She sort of complements others' analytical thinking with her intuition and imagination.
I do love Luna's extraordinarily kind and gentle heart. With that being said, fred and george always helped me see the brighter side of any scenario. One of my inspirations why I started doing stand up comedy really
I'm from the "Woodstock Generation" and Luna is the type of girl I was attracted to when I was younger. None of the other Harry Potter characters reminded me of my school days friends. She remains my favorite of Rowland's characters and I've always felt that "The Adventures of Luna Lovegood" would make an excellent series.
Agreed... and thank you for doing this, I too felt this way of her. She was my favorite in the series. She look past the the flaws in people and seen them for who they really are, she shrugged off what people thought of her because she was happy with herself, she seen Harry not for being in "infamous Harry Potter" but for being just like her, an ordinary boy, And with the weight of the world on his shoulders.. not having asked for this task. She came to him in his greatest time of need. She was a GREAT character and one who I've had groan quite fond of from the start.
For me, the character that showed me, that it’s ok to be different is Neville Longbottom. From the first books on, he was not the typical brave griffindor and he himself thought, he wouldn’t fit into the house. But he was a different kind of brave and in a much more meaningful way than plain old „I‘m Griffindor an I fear nothing“. He stood up against his own fears in Moments of importants. To protect, what was valuable to him.
I absolutely agree! He and Luna are both perfect examples for having the courage to be different, feeling okay of being different, and turning the differences into strengths.
The fact that Harry named his only daughter after says how much he respects her and value her in his life. Luna saved Harry’s life in helping him his depression.... and figuring out the last hidden horcrux
Luna is everything I want in another human. I love this character so much ❤ Edit: in the movie, having luna shout at harry shows her strength and importance to the series because it shows that even though we are happy with how we've shaped ourselves we have to become "werewolf"(thanks joker) to really get our point across. Harry has never seen luna as assertive as she was in the last battle. That's why I feel that scene was important.
Sirus is the character that taught me that it's okay to be different, especially if you come from a difficult family. My family is very conservative, they are racists, chouvinists, homophobic and things like that. I was always "the bad apple," exactly like Sirius. I ran home because I was not willing to follow those family values. Sirius told me that it's okay to be different even if you have to give up the family in which you were born. I wish JK would give Sirius a happier ending. The life of the Black brothers was so tragic, they they deserved a better ending.
The best Luna line is in book 7 when she’s convincing Harry to focus to produce his patronus. “We’re all still here” she whispered “we’re still fighting...come on now” shows her ability to believe and persevere.
I think Luna is deserving of a hollywood wand. She is so pure of heart and intention. She is also studious, brave, and powerful. She's my favorite character.
Taking this character into the real world, I was her when I was in grade school and wanted friends. When I got more confidence and started to make friends, I wish I did a better job of bringing people without/with few friends into the fold. We could all learn a lot from her character.
I love her character, she's the one I relate to the most!!! And I love that she helped Harry find Ravenclaw's horcrux!!!!! Love her!!!!! I love your videos Deen! Keep it up!
I love Luna, but for me its remus lupin. I've been an outcast most of my life n I appreciate those who see my oddities as strengths instead of shunning me....I have a great deal in common with Luna too, but remus n I share the many hardships of being unwanted or feared for who n what we are. Thx for this vid!❤💯
Luna makes Ravenclaw proud. Neville does that for Gryffindor. Cedric for Hufflepuff and I think Narcissa Malfoy does it for Slytherin. Out of all the Harry Potter characters, I think Neville has shown me that it's okay to be different and to take a bit longer to come into your own. Neville's plot arc is absolutely amazing and the amount of growth he goes through is really astounding. Out of non-Harry Potter characters, I'd probably say Jace Beleren from the Magic the Gathering storyline or Nott the Brave from Critical Role (campaign 2).
Luna taught me it was okay to be myself and that I couldn't be the best version of myself if I was hiding behind a mask, she is the best ravenclaw and love her so much 💙
What can he add to Luna, I thought but, as always, there was new perspectives, new insights. That's what's so great about this channel. It's always interesting.
I believe that Luna Lovegood was far from a secondary character. I believe that Luna was a Median - she could hear and speak with the dead, which she calls NARGLES. She is also gifted with extrasensory perception...she knows and sees things other don't or just ignore. That is why she was called Loony, because she is often seeing and listening to someone others couldn't see or hear.
I’ve always thought to know more about the life of Horace Slughorn would be great, if he would share every memory of time spent in the company of Tom Riddle, whether it was during class, at slug club meetings, and everything other time they were together
Honestly, I'm sick of haracter telling me it's ok to be different... This message currently became more common even than love story. Although, Luna is different in kind and respecting way. It makes her, in my opinion, better haracter than majority of "dare to be different" characters who are different in arrogant, self-centered way.
LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!! Thank you for giving Luna the spotlight and highlighting just how important she was as a character and a person. She is my favorite in the Potter universe and Evanna Lynch played her perfectly.
My son is on the spectrum too. Hard to find your way. I hope you live in a country that cares. I'm unfortunately in america where he will be homeless someday
Luna was so crucial in this series, a sweet soul who never thought negative of anyone and just implements a tolerance and love for people. I'm in Ravenclaw as well, I would date her in an instant man oh man.
To me, Luna has the rare ability to see the little bits of magic in every day life. Turning what others call trash into jewelry; keeping her mind open to possibilities that may sound crazy, but have nuggets of truth; that being yourself, no matter what other might think of it, will bring happiness to you and those you love. Luna Lovegood, witch or muggle, is the most human character in the series.
Lupin let us know werewolves can be accepted, Tonks being a Metamorphmagus is different but accepted, Luna was her own person. All different but accepted.
There are so many different fandoms that have taught everyone that it shouldn't matter that we're all different in multitudes of ways then anyone can truly know
I completely agree. She's always been my favourite character. So much empathy and she's completely comfortable in being herself and not for anyone else.
Not even as a joke but Shrek will always be one of my favorite fictional characters. He taught me that people have layers and there’s a lot more to a person than meets the eye. Even when you get to know them a bit there’s still depths of a person you won’t see unless you really invest time in learning about them. Sure he’s rude and snarky at first but he truly cares about the people in his life and he’s actually very sensitive and insecure, the movies never fail to make me cry!
I always thought Harry Potter’s characters are tiered. 1, Harry, Ron, Hermione 2. Dumbledore, Voldemort 3. Snape, Sirius black, Lupin, Hagrid, Arthur and Molly Weasley 4. Luna, Neville, Fred, George, Malfoy father and son. 5. Various death eaters. 6. Etc.
From every Ravenclaw: "Luna, thank you. You make Ravenclaw proud."
Robert Trevillian In a Ravenclaw, my favourite girl characters are Luna and Hermione.
s a k u r a I disagree! Where’s Mcgonagal! And I must admit I love bellatrix
For Luna, 5 points shall be given to Ravenclaw 🦅🦅🦅
As a ravenclaw, I approve of this comment
🦅 💪🏼
I feel like Luna was the bit of light that Harry, and everyone else, needed in the darkness of the last books.
Syrollesse Luna is Latin for moon, moon comes out in the darkness. Jk Rowling you clever bitch

Wow beautifully said
@ThatBoy MIJO I thought of the same thing
People thought Luna Lovegood was just ditzy but lowkey, she was the best out of any of the secondary characters
Personally if I were JK rolling I would have killed of her character by having her run over by the night bus, just my personal opinion
William Smith that’s horrible!
William Smith first of all that's a horrible thing to say! Second of all try to spell her name right! It's J K -Rowling!

“Wit beyond measure is man’s greatest treasure,” said Luna in a sing-song voice.
She lived her life by this I swear
The motto of Rowena Ravenclaw & her house.
Was this in ootp?

John Lorton it took me a while to completely understand what that meant but once I did it made sense so thanks!

So true!!

From the first books on, he was not the typical brave griffindor and he himself thought, he wouldn’t fit into the house. But he was a different kind of brave and in a much more meaningful way than plain old „I‘m Griffindor an I fear nothing“. He stood up against his own fears in Moments of importants. To protect, what was valuable to him.
His fears as well as his own friends. Such a brave Gryffindor
The character that taught me to be different is newt scamander, he showed us how your different thinking can be your power 😅
Fantastic beast mate another film altogether
@@williamsmith8164 but its the same universe
I absolutely agree! He and Luna are both perfect examples for having the courage to be different, feeling okay of being different, and turning the differences into strengths.
Didn't Luna later marry Newt's grandson?
@@shifatara9176 yep she did
The fact that Harry named his only daughter after says how much he respects her and value her in his life. Luna saved Harry’s life in helping him his depression.... and figuring out the last hidden horcrux
Remus Lupine’s struggle with being a werewolf reminds me of my struggle with Autism, but I also love Luna and Cedric for the same reasons you do!
Luna is everything I want in another human. I love this character so much ❤
Edit: in the movie, having luna shout at harry shows her strength and importance to the series because it shows that even though we are happy with how we've shaped ourselves we have to become "werewolf"(thanks joker) to really get our point across. Harry has never seen luna as assertive as she was in the last battle. That's why I feel that scene was important.
Sirus is the character that taught me that it's okay to be different, especially if you come from a difficult family. My family is very conservative, they are racists, chouvinists, homophobic and things like that. I was always "the bad apple," exactly like Sirius. I ran home because I was not willing to follow those family values. Sirius told me that it's okay to be different even if you have to give up the family in which you were born. I wish JK would give Sirius a happier ending. The life of the Black brothers was so tragic, they they deserved a better ending.
I love Luna. But a Character that made me feel it's okay to be different is Nymphadora Tonks-Lupin.
Too bad they got a shutin
Nymphadora was beautiful and fun looking
The best Luna line is in book 7 when she’s convincing Harry to focus to produce his patronus. “We’re all still here” she whispered “we’re still fighting...come on now” shows her ability to believe and persevere.
Luna is my favorite, also I kinda liked the movie version when she yelled at Harry on the stairs it made me laugh a little.
I think Luna is deserving of a hollywood wand. She is so pure of heart and intention. She is also studious, brave, and powerful. She's my favorite character.
Fun fact: my form teacher and music teacher was in the same class as Evanna Lynch
How lucky
Taking this character into the real world, I was her when I was in grade school and wanted friends. When I got more confidence and started to make friends, I wish I did a better job of bringing people without/with few friends into the fold. We could all learn a lot from her character.
Luna and her family actually was mentioned in the goblet of fire 🔥
Also great video
Yeah, they lived in the area near the portkey like the Diggory's.
I love her character, she's the one I relate to the most!!! And I love that she helped Harry find Ravenclaw's horcrux!!!!! Love her!!!!! I love your videos Deen! Keep it up!
From every Ravenclaw: "Luna, thank you. You make Ravenclaw proud."
-from a proud ravenclaw for 7 years.
Love your videos. I love harry potter. and to whomever is reading this have a good day and wingardium leviosa!!
PUT ME DOWN!
I’m floating away!
It's levioSAR!
No it’s leviOsar not LevioSAR
*Brandos Nachos to you as well*
I always found Luna so attractive. She has such a strong character, which is in my opinion one of the best traits to have.
Beside Lockhart, Luna’s my second favourite ravenclaw
YES!! Luna has always been my favorite character! She is amazing and inspiring and just a genuine character. I am so happy you made this video!!
I love Luna, but for me its remus lupin. I've been an outcast most of my life n I appreciate those who see my oddities as strengths instead of shunning me....I have a great deal in common with Luna too, but remus n I share the many hardships of being unwanted or feared for who n what we are. Thx for this vid!❤💯
Thank you for making this, Luna is my favorite character out of everyone ❤️
Luna makes Ravenclaw proud. Neville does that for Gryffindor. Cedric for Hufflepuff and I think Narcissa Malfoy does it for Slytherin.
Out of all the Harry Potter characters, I think Neville has shown me that it's okay to be different and to take a bit longer to come into your own. Neville's plot arc is absolutely amazing and the amount of growth he goes through is really astounding. Out of non-Harry Potter characters, I'd probably say Jace Beleren from the Magic the Gathering storyline or Nott the Brave from Critical Role (campaign 2).
The character that makes me feel that it's okay to be different is Newt Scamander
Right?? I find it fitting that Luna ended up w Newt’s grandson
Luna taught me it was okay to be myself and that I couldn't be the best version of myself if I was hiding behind a mask, she is the best ravenclaw and love her so much 💙
What can he add to Luna, I thought but, as always, there was new perspectives, new insights. That's what's so great about this channel. It's always interesting.
I believe that Luna Lovegood was far from a secondary character. I believe that Luna was a Median - she could hear and speak with the dead, which she calls NARGLES. She is also gifted with extrasensory perception...she knows and sees things other don't or just ignore. That is why she was called Loony, because she is often seeing and listening to someone others couldn't see or hear.
Luna Lovegood is my favorite character (ok she is tied with Dobby) I always felt that she and Harry should have been together.
Yes. Mostly when Harry was protecting her from getting hit by random spells when they were on invisibility cloak.
Luna is my favorite character in the whole series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also I ship Neville and Luna you can’t stop me
Neville Longbottom and Professor Minerva McGonagall are my two most important characters.
Luna is so sweet and natural. Her voice so clear and calming, and her accent is absolutely perfect. Sweet and hypnotic.
she is my favourite character, she taught me a lot ..
she is confident in her own skin
Ok, I know this is totally off topic but I love how he says "be kind" it's a good message for all of us
I’ve always thought to know more about the life of Horace Slughorn would be great, if he would share every memory of time spent in the company of Tom Riddle, whether it was during class, at slug club meetings, and everything other time they were together
I always loved Luna, I remember reading wanting Harry to be with her. she was great.
Personally I think Sirius is the most important, dont know why lol
I dont know but i dont really like Sirius to be honest
It's my opinion that Severus Snape was most important character, he was an agent for both sides of both Wizarding Wars.
ElyssaLovesDogs rl lol
I don't know I don't really like Sirius
@@marcusblacknell-andrews1783 I agree
Yes I completely agree Luna is amazing. She was so supportive of Harry. I never considered her crazy.
I love Luna lovegood she's so weird and awkward and beautiful so I really enjoy her character
Luna is one of my most favorite characters of all time! Thanks for acknowledging her! (And she’s a Ravenclaw, like me!)
Honestly, I'm sick of haracter telling me it's ok to be different... This message currently became more common even than love story.
Although, Luna is different in kind and respecting way.
It makes her, in my opinion, better haracter than majority of "dare to be different" characters who are different in arrogant, self-centered way.
LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!! Thank you for giving Luna the spotlight and highlighting just how important she was as a character and a person. She is my favorite in the Potter universe and Evanna Lynch played her perfectly.
I always thought Luna was autistic. I’m autistic and I can recognise a few traits in her, so I always related to her quite a lot when I was younger.
My son is on the spectrum too. Hard to find your way. I hope you live in a country that cares. I'm unfortunately in america where he will be homeless someday
I always assumed that too and I'm sure that's what JK Rowling intended when she introduced Luna.
*High fives*I am autistic and I related to Luna too(Enjoy to be different)
Being autistic means that you have a different view on things. It makes sense with her. 8)
I always loves Luna she always reminded me of myself. Being a Weiredo myself she felt like a sister to me.
I love me some Luna! As a Hermione type of guy, I aspire to be more of a Luna.
Luna is so awesome she’s my favorite character.
There should b lots of people like Luna Lovegood in real life
Luna was so crucial in this series, a sweet soul who never thought negative of anyone and just implements a tolerance and love for people. I'm in Ravenclaw as well, I would date her in an instant man oh man.
I honestly felt Luna was going to end up with Harry in the books.
I KNOW! They had so many private, emotionally intimate moments.
I thought so too! I was rooting for it.
That would have been beautiful.
I had she gets run over by the night bus and dies, looks like we were both wrong
@@williamsmith8164
Just like how I was hoping Bella was going to get hit by that van, I guess.
To me, Luna has the rare ability to see the little bits of magic in every day life. Turning what others call trash into jewelry; keeping her mind open to possibilities that may sound crazy, but have nuggets of truth; that being yourself, no matter what other might think of it, will bring happiness to you and those you love. Luna Lovegood, witch or muggle, is the most human character in the series.
The best of the love-interest house!
A beautiful and well expressed assessment of my favourite character. Thank you for your wonderful work!
Matthew Eaves matthewwwwwwww
Sorry there’s a really cute boy in my school named Matthew lol😂
@@LOLLOL-kg6lh I'll take that :-)
My character is Hermione because she taught me that it’s ok to be and insufferable know it all. That is I am and I often got teased about it.
I always loved Luna and am sure we would very close friends, also love Remus Lupin because he was a good teacher
Lupin let us know werewolves can be accepted, Tonks being a Metamorphmagus is different but accepted, Luna was her own person. All different but accepted.
What a lovely tribute to one of my favorite Harry Potter characters!
It’s mister Rogers that made me feel it’s ok to be me because he said “ I like you just the way you are” mister Rogers
There are so many different fandoms that have taught everyone that it shouldn't matter that we're all different in multitudes of ways then anyone can truly know
One of my favorite Ravenclaws
I completely agree. She's always been my favourite character. So much empathy and she's completely comfortable in being herself and not for anyone else.
Billy Elliot makes me feel that it’s okay to be different.
Not even as a joke but Shrek will always be one of my favorite fictional characters. He taught me that people have layers and there’s a lot more to a person than meets the eye. Even when you get to know them a bit there’s still depths of a person you won’t see unless you really invest time in learning about them. Sure he’s rude and snarky at first but he truly cares about the people in his life and he’s actually very sensitive and insecure, the movies never fail to make me cry!
Ogres are like onions not like cakes donkey lol
Luna Is The True Definition Of Being “Woke”
There's a character like this in just about every fandom I'm part of. That depiction of being different and that being good is very important to me.
My character is Luna and Remus. And geralt from the Witcher 😂
That's a huge range of characters right there
I love Luna! She’s my favorite character
I always thought Harry Potter’s characters are tiered.
1, Harry, Ron, Hermione
2. Dumbledore, Voldemort
3. Snape, Sirius black, Lupin, Hagrid, Arthur and Molly Weasley
4. Luna, Neville, Fred, George, Malfoy father and son.
5. Various death eaters.
6. Etc.
What about Ginny? And Dobby.
Dominika Sandtnerova with Luna and Neville. Forgot about those 2 lol. Sorry
Dean, A beautiful explanation for a wonderful beloved character .
