Harry/Luna #2- Because he's fascinated by her.

Welcome to the Harry/Luna Appreciation Thread!!!


Banners credit to: Ana Luthor




"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.

Hononary Visionaries

1. Daniel Radcliffe { download his interview supporting H/L here } & { his second interview AGAIN supporting H/L - it's near the end - here }
2. Peeves the Poltergeist (the first to see that Potty Loves Loony!)



01. Harry originally thought she was weird, but now he understands her and knows he can trust her.

03. He realized he doesn't mind talking to her about Sirius.
04. She can see the Thestrals too.
05. She helped him get his story published.
06. She always told him what she thought.
07. She is not going to flip out over every little thing Harry does *cough*CHO*cough*
08.He's the most powerful wizard, and in case you didn't notice, she is the only one that didn't get injured at the ministry, other than Harry.
09. She is "out to lunch" as JKR put it and that may be just what Harry needs.
10.Harry found that the terrible weight in his stomach seemed to have lessened slightly. And it was because of Luna.
11. Because they both know what it's like to be talked about behind their backs
12. Because he offered to help her get back her stuff
13. Because he'd rather spend time with her than go to the end-of-year feast
14. Because they can ride off on a thestral in the moonlight without any trouble.
15. Because sometimes Luna understands Harry even better than Hermione or Ron.
16. Because he could trust Luna enough to tell her everything that was bothering him.
17. Because she makes Harry see outside his little world of the Gryffindor Common Room.
18. Because her flights of fancy help him to think outside the box.
19. Because her matter of fact manner grounds him.
20. Because Luna needs a bit of taming.
21. Because Luna doesn't need an excuse to use that Lion hat more often, but would be great if there was a special reason for it.
22. Because Luna needs someone who doesn't think she's an idiot and who's willing to stick up for her.
23. Because they're actually very alike in strange ways.
24. Because of the unconscious bond that they've created between each other.
25. Because Harry can't deny the fact that through Luna, he can see himself.

She was my boyfriend's favorite character from this movie. He is the HP fan. You know, reading the books and such. I started watching the movies and thought they were good, so I want to follow and see how it ends. I'm not really into witches, wizards and magic and stuff. I mainly like HP because they go off to school and they are good friends and they try to do good and always get into trouble. Anyway back to H/L I know everyone in my theater was showin' her love. I like him with everyone BUT the girl he likes.

Luna is just odd/wise/brutally honest, i just LOVE her. she's definitely someone i see Harry falling for. everytime i saw her onscreen, i would grab either side of my friends' shoulders. i probably bruised Leah and Sha.

That's funny. She was definitely a little... strange, but all of us loved her. Just her expressions would make us laugh.

I went to the midnight showing last night, and Luna was perfect! The girl that plays her is adorable in this quirky, fun way.

Add me to the list, please. Although I like Harry/Ginny, I love Harry & Luna's interactions together.
