With Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows coming and the Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix movie already out, it is an excellent time to reflect back on those cherished, and awkward, moments we spent with Luna Lovegood.
10.) “Yes,” said Luna simply, “My mother. She was a quite an extraordinary witch, you know, but she did like to experiment and one of her spells went rather badly wrong one day. I was nine.”
Luna explains how she can see Thestrals.
9.) “A Wrackspurt – they’re invisible, they float in through your ears and make your brain go fuzzy,” she said. “I thought I felt one zooming around in here.”
Alllllright.
8.) “Dad’s reprinting! He can’t believe it, he says people seem even more interested in this than the Crumple-Horned Snorkacks!”
If you thought Luna was insane…
7.) “There are plenty of eyewitness accounts, just because you’re so narrow-minded you need to have everything shoved under your nose before you–“
Luna vs. Hermione KY Jelly Wrestling, anybody?
6.) “It’s good, isn’t it? I wanted to have it chewing up a serpent to represent Slytherin, you know, but there wasn’t time. Anyway…good luck, Ronald!”
Pretty cool, actually.
5.) “The Aurors are part of the Rotfang Conspiracy, I thought everyone knew that. They’re working from within to bring down the Ministry of Magic using a combination of Dark magic and gum disease.”
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking.
4.) “Mistletoe,” said Luna dreamily, pointing at a large clump of white berries placed almost over Harry’s head. He jumped out from under it. “Good thinking,” said Luna seriously. “It’s often infested with nargles.”
3.) “Oh, come on. You heard them, just behind the veil, didn’t you? They were just lurking out of sight, that’s all. You heard them.”
I can’t help but feel that this might be rather significant in Book 7.
2.) “I’ve been able to see them ever since my first year here. They’ve always pulled the carriages. Don’t worry. You’re just as sane as I am.”
Oi vey.
1.) “I enjoyed the meetings, too. It was like having friends.”
Tell me this doesn’t make you want to give Luna a hug.
