Hello there lovelies,
With the last Harry Potter movie coming out, and one of the biggest book/movie franchises in the world finally coming to an end, I thought it was time I paid homage to one of my all-time favourite fictional characters. Hermione Granger is incredibly brilliant, Ginny Weasley is witty & courageous, but my favourite female Harry Potter character has got to be Luna Lovegood. She is pure insanity (in the best possible way), wrapped up in a heart of gold.
"You know, she's grown on me, Luna. I know she's insane, but it's in a good way." —Ron Weasley on Luna
Luna had waist-length, straggly, dirty blonde hair, protuberant grey eyes, which often seemed to be dreamily distracted, and faint eyebrows. She had an aura of "distinct dottiness" about her and was known to put her wand behind her left ear for safekeeping.
Luna had a unique fashion sense that other people usually found bizarre. She often wore odd pieces of jewellery such as a butterbeer cork necklace and dirigible plum (radish) earrings, and a pair of Spectrespecs. Luna often didn't wear shoes because students in her house would take her shoes and hide them.
"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." —Luna after Harry Potter discussed his wish to become an Auror.
Luna was an extremely quirky girl with a serene disposition and many eccentric beliefs and qualities. She was a complete nonconformist; she lacked self-consciousness and wasn't afraid to show who she truly was. Her demeanour and voice were often distant and dreamy, and she would drift away from a conversation she did not find interesting. She had an uncanny way of making others uncomfortable by being bluntly honest.
In my opinion Evanna Lynch did an amazing job of bringing Luna Lovegood to life. I loved seeing her brought to the big screen, and Luna is one of the many reasons that I'm a little sad that the Harry Potter phenomenon is over.
Who are your favourite fictional characters?
Until next time, xo.
