Welcome to the Harry/Luna Appreciation Thread!!!

"She walked away from him, and as he watched her go, he found that the terrible weight in his stomach seemed to have lessened slightly.”
-OotP, p.864

When Harry Potter first met Luna Lovegood in “The Order of the Phoenix,” he silently wished that the "distinctly dotty" girl with the wand behind her ear would not sit near him on the train to Hogwarts. From the start Harry did not immediately take to the girl whom classmates had deemed "loony". Their's seemed to be an uneasy acquaintance in the beginning. But during the year Luna proved herself to be a different kind of friend than he had ever had, one that Harry desperately needed, even if he did not realize it.
Harry had "never met anyone like her" before, able to speak "uncomfortable truths", yet seemingly ensconced in her own mystical world, one he was unable to see. Through her whimsy and wild flights of fancy, she brought laughter, hope, and light into his dark existence. She let it be known that Harry was not crazy, and that she too could see the thestrals. Luna was the first of Harrys classmates to profess belief in the truth of his story that Lord Voldemort was indeed back. Through her bold and fearless action she began to slowly turn the tide of doubt and suspicion against him. When her father published the tale of his ordeal in "The Quibbler" she was able to give Harry back his credibility within the wizarding world .
She continued to prove her importance in Harry's life by fighting bravely alongside him and his friends during the battle at the Department of Mysteries. With nothing but pure motives behind her, she risked her life to help Harry, simply because it was the right thing to do.
After the tragic death of Harry's beloved Godfather Sirius, he found that Luna was the only person he felt comfortable opening up to. She helped to ease his pain and despair by relating the untimely death of her own mother. She seemed to fill the spiritual void in his life, tantalizing him with the prospect that our loved ones never truly leave us, they are just waiting for us behind the veil.
With Luna, Harry feels comfortable and at ease. He does not have to worry about being judged or called strange, as both know the pain of being outcasts. Through Luna he is able to feel something other than sadness and grief, thinking of someone other than himself for the first time during the year. He feels pity for those who mistreat Luna, and is amazed at the calmness she has about her situation, the antithesis of Harry and all of his rage. At the end of "The Order of the Phoenix," Harry and Luna cement their bond though shared tragedies and a mutual understanding of one another.
This friendship continues on into the next installment, "The Half-Blood Prince" where she continues to make him laugh and feel at ease while accompanying him to Slughorn's party. Together, with Harry's braveness and loyalty, and Luna's spirituality and selflessness, they make one complete soul. They are ying and yang. But what the future has in store for them is unclear, simply friendship or perhaps true love? Regardless of the outcome we will be left with two amazing characters with a deep connection that moves and inspires us all.

I just watched the interview

I loved how he said "Luna Lovegood" with absolutely no hesitation, even though the reporter goes "c'moon". Very good, Daniel

**ღ misty** · 05-03-2006, 02:05 PM

LOVING our title!

And I KNOW! C'moooon what, you bitch? You heard it right, you stupid, LUNA LOVEGOOD. Deal with it!

I feel like Jess' sig now XDDD~~~~

~Daniel~ · 05-03-2006, 02:08 PM

What's up with Jess' sig?

The reporter's tone is really annoying, she make it sound like it's ridiculous that Dan says Luna, but he simply sticks to his speech. Luna Lovegood, Luna Lovegood. Good boy

**ღ misty** · 05-03-2006, 02:11 PM

that's 'cause her signature is like "i'm a harry/luna shipper, deal with it!"

Love it.

And I was like IN YOUR FACE, BITCH. He said Luna Lovegood he's NOT changing his mind, no matter what you say XDDD~~~

*waves her DANIEL RADCLIFFE GOT IT RIGHT banner*

~Daniel~ · 05-03-2006, 02:19 PM

First R/Hr, now H/L. He certainly knows how to read the books

I can't help but feeling delightfully surprised that he didn't say Ginny, after all, she and Harry had something in HBP.

And I didn't mention before, but your icon is hilarious, Ana!

It's not even a question, really

**ღ misty** · 05-03-2006, 02:21 PM

I'm not sure if Dan had read HBP by the time he gave that interview, although I do remember discussing on another forum about it, and someone said he definitely had. Either way, I'm glad he saw the potetial of our couple ^__^"

And OMG, I KNOW! Credits to the wonderful lidi (LJ username), it's fantastic! And it's great to hear a guy saying that, 'cause most of my guy friends are always drolling over Mariah and saying how hot she is. Iarch.

~Daniel~ · 05-03-2006, 02:24 PM

It's definitely a good thing he saw the potential of H/L. But then again, how couldn't he?

And WHAT? Hot? No, no, Laura Prepon is hot. Kirsten Dunst is hot. Brody Dalle is hot. Mariah Carey is just plain gross. And whore. Her boobs scare the hell out of me.

**ღ misty** · 05-03-2006, 02:28 PM

I KNOW! Gosh, I've missed you, you bitch!

It was so much better when you lived like 5 blocks away and we could go out every now and then to make fun of stupid people XDDD~~~ Ok, I'll stop.

And did you know that Dan has the hots for Brody Dalle? Jess posted a link to his interview on Conan O'Brien and his like "oooh.." when he talks about her. It's SO amusing ^___^"

~Daniel~ · 05-03-2006, 02:30 PM

Awww, Aninha

I miss you too, life was so much easier when I lived there =/ And if you decide to start answering your phone, I'll call you more often

Wait a minute, Dan has a crush on Brody? That boy seriously has an awesome taste! Do you happen to have the link to that interview?

**ღ misty** · 05-03-2006, 02:33 PM

Nah, I don't =/ But I'll ask Jess to re-post it so you can watch ^__^"

And now I have to go, Mom's here and it's her birthday!

We're probably (hopefully) going to celebrate somewhere, yay!

see ya, baby ;*

& don't forget to visit the Ana-Lucia thread, mm'kay?

Airie · 05-03-2006, 02:35 PM

Ooh, yeah, Laura Prepon is waaay hot (when her hair's not blonde *cough*).

I definitely think Dan had read HBP by then. It was months after the book had come out, and he's a big fan. Why wouldn't he have done so?

~Daniel~ · 05-03-2006, 02:35 PM

Tell your mom I'm wishing her a happy birthday

And I'll visit the AL thread, right now, actually.

See you later, Ana

Hello Airie! I suppose Dan read it too, as far as I remember, he's the only one of the trio who's always discussing something from the book, giving examples. It makes sense that he read it by then. And Laura is incredibly hot! I think she's much hotter when she's redhead, but I like her as blonde too.

**Sark and Draco Lover** · 05-03-2006, 03:26 PM

omg! new thread! i absolutely love the title.

chunkeymonkey1981 · 05-03-2006, 04:05 PM

aaah new thread! Yay! Ana I am flattered you chose my title! boy time flies...cause I was oblivious to the fact that it was almost time for one...

BTW Ana you and Daniel are too cute!
