Description Luna Lovegood notes. Personal information Early life Luna was the only child of Xenophilius and Mrs. Lovegood. Lunas mother was accidentally killed experimenting with a spell that she created when Luna was nine years old. Thus, Luna was subsequently raised by her father. As she witnessed her mothers death, she was able to see Thestrals from that point onwards. Education at Hogwarts Early years Luna attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1992 to 1999 and was sorted into Ravenclaw house. During her years at Hogwarts, she met and became a friend of Ginny Weasley. In the summer of 1994, she went to the Quidditch World Cup with her father. Fourth year In Lunas fourth year, she met and befriended Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, Hermione Granger and Neville Longbottom. She believed Harrys declaration that Lord Voldemort was back. As the year progressed, she was invited to join an underground Defence Against the Dark Arts group called Dumbledores Army. She eagerly accepted, working hard along with the others and enjoying the company. In an effort to make people believe Harrys story, Hermione arranged an interview for him with Rita Skeeter at the Three Broomsticks - Luna accompanied them so as to persuade her father to publish the interview in The Quibbler. Near the end of the year, Harry had a vision that his godfather, Sirius Black was being tortured by Lord Voldemort in the Department of Mysteries. Luna and Ginny stood guard while Harry and Hermione snuck into Professor Umbridges office, to use the fireplace to try to contact Sirius, while Ron attempted to distract Umbridge. However, they were caught, along with Neville Longbottom, by Umbridge and members of the Inquisitorial Squad. They were restrained and gagged, but Luna hardly seemed bothered by this as she was staring, dreamily, through the window as if bored. Harry and Hermione drew Umbridge away into the Forbidden Forest, and Luna, Ginny, Ron, and Neville managed to escape from the Inquisitorial Squad using a variety of hexes and jinxes. Walden Macnair restrains Luna during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries. Luna: There are ways of flying other than with broomsticks. Ron: Ispose were going to ride on the back of the Kacky Snorgle or whatever it is? Luna: The Crumple-Horned Snorkack cant fly, but they can, and Hagrid says theyre very good at finding places their riders are looking for. — Luna suggests flying Thestrals to the Ministry When they all met up again in the forest, Harry planned to go to the Ministry of Magic. Luna reminded Harry about the Thestrals and suggested using them to get to the Ministry. She then mounted her Thestral side-saddle, as though she did this every day. She also helped Ron, Hermione and Ginny mount their Thestrals, as the animals were invisible to them. The six D.A. members flew to the Ministry and entered the Department of Mysteries, where Luna heard voices coming from behind a Veil, just as Harry did. The group was soon ambushed by twelve Death Eaters. Luna participated in the battle that ensued. She protected Ron, who had been hit with a spell that made him highly confused. Luna also attacked a Death Eater who had seized Ginnys ankle with the Reductor Curse, which destroyed a model of the planet Pluto. The model blew up in the Death Eaters face; however, the impact broke Ginnys ankle. Luna guided both the injured Ginny and the Confunded Ron until they met up with Harry and Neville. Luna was one of the last D.A. members to fall, eventually being stunned by a Death Eater and thrown across the room. She regained focus just before the end of the battle and survived relatively unscathed. At the end of the school year, Luna spoke to Harry, who was mourning the murder of his godfather and had found no comfort in talking to ghosts. Luna told him about her mothers death and her belief that she would see her again someday, which was a comforting thought to Harry. That summer, Luna and her father went to Sweden using the money the Daily Prophet paid them to reprint The Quibblers interview with Harry to see if they could catch a Crumple-Horned Snorkack Fifth year I could hear the match commentary from here. I hope Luna always commentates from now on; Losers Lurgy —Ron Weasley laughs about Lunas Quidditch commentary The next year was Lunas O.W.L. year. On her way to Hogwarts in the Hogwarts Express, Luna shared a compartment with Harry Potter and she was accompanied by Neville Longbottom. Luna was holding another edition of the Quibbler, which she told Harry was going strong because of his interview. She then put on a brightly coloured pair of free Spectrespecs that were from inside the Quibbler. She was very disappointed to find out that the D.A. would not continue that year. I enjoyed the meetings, too. It was like having friends. —Luna in 1996 When Romilda Vane asked Harry if he wanted to join her and her friends in another compartment, while treating Luna and Neville with disdain, Harry coldly rebuffed her, stating that they were his friends. Luna correctly observed that people expected Harry to associate with cooler people; he replied that she and Neville were cool, and among his closest and most trustworthy friends. Hbp-1090Luna with Harry go to the Horace Slughorns Christmas party. Towards Christmas, Luna comforted Hermione after Ron mocked her in Transfiguration and Hermione ran into the girls bathroom in tears. Luna had found Hermione crying and Harry had been looking for Hermione to return the books she left in Transfiguration class. After Hermione left, Harry asked Luna if she would like to go to Professor Slughorns Christmas party with him, just as friends, and Luna accepted his invitation.Luna wore a set of spangled silver robes that was attracting a certain amount of giggling from the onlookers, but she otherwise looked quite nice. While there, she conversed with multiple people, and took an interest in Sanguini, a vampire guest. She also made Harry laugh so hard that mead came out of his nose when she discussed the Rotfang Conspiracy after Professor Snape sneered at Harrys ambition to become an Auror. She continued the discussion of the Rotfang Conspiracy with Professor Trelawney, who seemed completely interested. Harry: How would you like to come to Slughorns party with me tonight? Luna: Slughorns party? With you? Harry: Yeah. Were supposed to bring guests, so I thought you might like; I mean, just as friends, you know. But if you dont want to; Luna: Oh no, Id love to go with you as friends! Nobodys ever asked me to a party before, as a friend! Is that why you dyed your eyebrow, for the party? Should I dye mine too? — Harry asking Luna to the Slug Club Christmas party Also that year, Luna would temporarily replace Zacharias Smith as Quidditch commentator for the school. Many found Lunas commentary terrible and annoying, as Luna forgot players names and went off on tangents such as speculating that Smith was suffering from Losers Lurgy, or saying how a cloud was interestingly shaped. She never actually reported the score, and Professor McGonagall had to report it. However, after Ron heard this commentary, which he found highly amusing, he said You know, [Luna]s grown on me, when previously he found her very strange. Hbp-2005ggggggLuna Lovegood raised her wand after the death of Albus Dumbledore. Luna once gave Harry a note from Albus Dumbledore telling him to come to his office for a private lesson. At the end of the school year, the castle came under attack by Death Eaters, and Luna was one of the few D.A. members to participate in the ensuing Battle of the Astronomy Tower, along with Neville, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione. Harry asked her and Hermione to watch Snapes office, which they did, but Snape told them that Death Eaters were in the castle and that they had to look after Professor Flitwick, whom he claimed had collapsed. After taking Felix Felicis from Harry, the D.A. members were almost untouchable, and all survived the battle unscathed except Neville, who was injured but soon recovered. Luna helped him into his seat when they attended Albus Dumbledores funeral at the end of the school year. [4] Sixth year Harry: The Lovegoods are quite unusual. He could have easily picked it up somewhere and think its a cross section of the head of a Crumple-Horned Snorkack or something; I dont know what they are, but apparently he and his daughter go on holiday looking for them; Thats her. Viktor Krum: Vy is she doing that? Harry: Probably trying to get rid of a Wrackspurt. — Harry (disguised as Barney Weasley) tries to explain Luna to Viktor Krum as she dances by herself. On 1 August, 1997, Luna and her father attended the wedding of Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour at the Burrow. Luna was able to recognise Harry, who was disguised as a Weasley cousin by use of Polyjuice Potion, by only his expression. She wore yellow dress robes and had a sunflower in her hair, and sat at the same table as Harry, Hermione, and Ron. At one point, Luna danced happily by herself, twirling on the dance floor with her arms raised, which drew attention from a few onlookers. That day, the Ministry of Magic was taken over by Voldemort, so it was a Death Eater-controlled Hogwarts that Luna returned to for her sixth year. Severus Snape had been appointed headmaster and Death Eaters Alecto and Amycus Carrow professors. Early in the year, Luna, Ginny, and Neville attempted to steal Godric Gryffindors Sword from the Headmasters office. Snape caught them and sent them into the Forbidden Forest with Rubeus Hagrid as punishment. The three of them revived and led Dumbledores Army, which tried to sabotage the Death Eaters control of the school and to help Harry, Ron and Hermione — who were off hunting down Voldemorts Horcruxes — in any way they could. On her way home over the Christmas holidays, Death Eaters captured Luna because her father had been printing stories in support of Harry. Capture and escape Hermione: Wheres Luna? Lets see what she thinks. Ron: Cowardly old wart. Lunas got ten times his guts. — Harry, Hermione and Ron visit Xenophilius Lovegood It was believed that Luna was held captive at Azkaban, though she was actually imprisoned in the basement of Malfoy Manor, along with the famed wandmaker Garrick Ollivander, to whom she proved a great comfort. Her father was so desperate to get her back that he tried to turn Harry, Hermione and Ron over to the Ministry in exchange for her freedom; the trio escaped, but Hermione ensured that the Death Eaters Xenophilius called glimpsed Harry as they left, so that neither he nor Luna would be punished. The Lovegoods home was largely destroyed when an erumpent horn, which Xenophilius had believed to be a Crumple-Horned Snorkacks, blew up inside. The prisoners in Malfoy Manor were soon joined by Harry, Ron, Dean Thomas, and Griphook the goblin, while Hermione was tortured for information upstairs by Bellatrix Lestrange. After Luna helped cut the ropes off their new cell-mates, Dobby the house-elf came to free them. He took Luna, Dean and Ollivander to Shell Cottage, the home of Bill and Fleur Weasley, and then returned to assist Harry, Hermione, Ron and Griphook in escaping the Manor. He died in rescuing them. Up until the Battle of Hogwarts, Luna stayed at the cottage for the remainder of the war, and when Dobby was buried, she closed the house-elfs eyes and provided the eulogy, thanking him for rescuing her. During her stay, she practised using a new wand that Ollivander had made for her. She also seemed to have started a friendship with Dean. It is unknown what Luna did after Harry, Ron and Hermione left Shell Cottage in order to break into Gringotts Wizarding Bank, but she returned to Hogwarts in May when Neville signalled her as to the trios return. All of Dumbledores Army was reassembled and prepared to fight.[5] Battle of Hogwarts When the trio asked the Ravenclaw D.A. members if they were familiar with an item that had once belonged to their house founder, Luna mentioned the lost diadem. She took Harry to the Ravenclaw common room, answering the riddle, What came first, the Phoenix or the flame?, with A circle has no beginning., in order to gain entrance, in order to show him a replica of the diadem. There, she stunned Alecto Carrow, who was waiting for them per Lord Voldemorts orders. When given the choice, she joined the battle rather than evacuating with the younger students. HarrylunaHarry and Luna in Ravenclaw Tower. At one point, she, Ernie Macmillan and Seamus Finnigan helped Harry, Ron, and Hermione drive off a group of Dementors that attacked them by casting their Patronuses. Luna encouraged Harry to think of something happy, enabling him to summon his Patronus as well. Later, near the end of the battle, she fought against Bellatrix Lestrange alongside Hermione and Ginny. When Bellatrix nearly hit Ginny with a Killing Curse, Molly Weasley stepped in and killed her. Luna: Id want some peace and quiet, if it were me. Harry: Id love some. Luna: Ill distract them all. Use your cloak. Oooh, look, a Blibbering Humdinger! — Luna creates a diversion for Harry. Luna witnessed Harry Potters final defeat of Lord Voldemort and was among the first to congratulate him. A little while later, she created a diversion so that Harry could slip away from the victory celebrations with Ron and Hermione, and have a little break. Later life After leaving school, Luna became a famous wizarding naturalist, travelling the world in search of strange creatures.She discovered and classified many species that had never been encountered before, but was never able to find the Crumple-Horned Snorkack; thus, she had to come to terms with the fact that there are some things that simply do not exist. Harry and Ginny gave their daughter Lily, born in 2008 or 2009, the middle name Luna, considering Luna to be a dear friend. Luna married fellow naturalist Rolf Scamander, grandson of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them author Newt Scamander, considerably later in life than Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny, who all married and started families in their early-to-mid twenties.The couple had twin boys, Lorcan and Lysander, born several years after the children of Lunas friends. Personal interests Personality and traits Wit beyond measure is mans greatest treasure. —Luna Lovegood quoting Rowena Ravenclaw 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 wasnt afraid to show who she truly was. Luna was also highly intelligent and unusually perceptive, having been sorted into Ravenclaw, where those of wit and learning will always find their kind. Although many thought Luna was bizarre, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Neville, Ginny, Dean Thomas and Ollivander eventually became very fond of her. 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 — a knack for embarrassing honesty according to Harry. She was completely unflappable and rarely seemed anxious or under stress, even under difficult circumstances such as being a prisoner of Malfoy Manor. Luna was very good at comforting others, such as when she comforted Harry Potter after his godfathers death,and Mr. Ollivander while they were imprisoned together. Luna was often the subject of ridicule and had difficulty making friends. Other students gave her the nickname of Loony Lovegood and even stole and hid her things. She was unfazed by this, though, and instead chose to be nonjudgmental and accepting of the others around her. She once said that she does not like dancing much, though she did dance some at the wedding of Bill and Fleur. Luna seems to have enjoyed artistic pursuits in her free time; her house was filled with various things that she painted. Shes tough, Luna, much tougher than youd think. Shes probably teaching all the inmates about Wrackspurts and Nargles. —Harry Potter on Luna while she was imprisoned Luna was very loyal to the few friends she had, supporting Harry even when he was outlawed by the Ministry of Magic. She also displayed admirable bravery during both the Battle of the Department of Mysteries and the Battle of Hogwarts. Lunas beliefs The Aurors are part of the Rotfang Conspiracy, I thought everyone knew that. Theyre 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 believed in many things that few others do. Given her inclination towards superstition, she wouldve probably liked Divination. However, as she grew older, she came to accept that some things simply do not exist. She seems to believe everything she reads in The Quibbler, mainly because her father writes it. That Sirius Black was Stubby Boardman. That Rufus Scrimgeour was a vampire. That the Aurors were part of the Rotfang Conspiracy to bring down the Ministry of Magic from within using Dark magic and gum disease That the Tutshill Tornados (A popular Quidditch team) were top of the league by a combination of bewitched brooms and torture. That Cornelius Fudge ordered Goblins to be made into pies, drowned, or assassinated in other various ways, had an army of Heliopaths, and used the Department of Mysteries to develop terrible poisons to feed to anyone who disagreed with him. Harrys story about Voldemorts return. She could hear the voices beyond the veil, and believed that there were people behind it, just lurking out of sight. That Hufflepuff Chaser Zacharias Smith was suffering from Losers Lurgy. She also believes in the existence of many creatures that few others do, such as: Moon Frogs Blibbering Humdingers Crumple-Horned Snorkacks Heliopaths Umgubular Slashkilters Nargles Aquavirius Maggots Wrackspurts Gulping Plimpies Dabberblimps
