Each week, we'll have different questions pertaining to different storylines and characters in all HP books and this thread is all about discussing our opinions on these. Please note the following reminders for this thread:

1. No bashing of characters & actors.
2. Keep criticism constructive (saying this XXX character is stupid is not constructive).
3. Please be on-topic at all times.
4. Please be respectful of everyone's opinions since we won't agree all the time.

Please also note that we can base our discussions on what we truly feel or quote various interviews we've seen or heard or parts from the book to justify our answers.

fly me to the moon

We'll move on to our next discussion topic tomorrow.

fly me to the moon

That's fine w/ me..

I've changed the current discussion. I'll answer this tomorrow.

fly me to the moon

Umm, why not both?? I felt like they are better support to others in no matter what..

L i N d $ @ y

I guess because some of the fandom prefer one over the other. I want to say both as well but maybe Neville since he was there since the beginning? But of course that doesn't mean Luna wasn't any better. In OotP, Luna helped Harry with at least making him feel a bit better about his parent's death because she too lost a parent. That time they both had each other's company and stuff like this, Ron & Hermione won't relate too because both of their parents are alive so they don't feel that much grief yet.

fly me to the moon

That's true.. Even tho I felt like both have their own different experience even tho Harry just can understood where both were coming from bec it's not like they had same grieving or something like that.. But it was more about the loss..

L i N d $ @ y

Plus boys don't talk about feelings so I doubt Harry & Nevlle connected emotionally the way Harry & Luna connected more on that.
