Luna Lovegood is a fith year Ravenclaw student at Hogwarts. She has dirty blond hair that is waist-length and straggly, protuberant eyes, and very faint eyebrows. She usually has a dreamy look on her face, and always turns up where things are happening by accident. Her voice is distant, and she fades away from a conversation quickly if she doesn't find it interesting. Her father is the editor of the Wizard tabloid the Quibbler, Luna's favorite magazine. Luna and her father hold a variety of very strange beliefs. She has steadfast faith and a calm demeanour. Her mother was killed in a spell experiment, but she believes she will see her mother again after death.

Whenever Luna brings up the topic of something that doesn't exsist, like Crumple-Horned Snorkacks, Hermione is quick to jump at it, saying it doesn't exist and gives facts. The two of them occasionally become frustrated with one another, seeing as they are mirror opposites.

"She will only believe something if there is no proof for it at all." - Hermione

"Just because you're so narrow minded and have to have everything shoved under you in a book doesn't mean we all do." - Luna Lovegood

Luna doesn't care what anybody thinks of her. She dresses the way she wants, and behaves the way she wants, not caring if someone is making a nasty comment about her. Luna has some strange habits, which makes it hard for her to make friends. She is usually the subject of jokes, and other students steal and hide her things. She takes it in stride though. She is patient and accepting of the others around her, and does not fret over her missing things, which she says "always turn up sooner or later". She knows of her nickname, "Loony Lovegood", but mentions it to Harry in a matter-of-fact way.

Luna states the blunt truth about things, which usually makes Harry feel rather awkward.

"She didn't enjoy it very much. She doesn't think you treated her very well, because you wouldn't dance with her." - Luna Lovegood

Luna turns out to be a big Quidditch fan, and fashions a hat in the shape of a lion head that roars to support the Gryffindor Quidditch team, though she is loyal to her own house during a Gryffindor vs Ravenclaw match. She wears butterbeer corks and radishes as jewelry, and keeps an odd number of things inside her bag.

Harry first meets Luna Lovegood on the Hogwarts Express. He never thought highly of her, and when Cho Chang walked by, wished he had been sitting with some "cooler" kids than Luna and Neville. She has a lot in common with Harry, like being able to see the Thestrals and hear the voices behind the veil in the Department of Mysteries.

She joined the D.A., though she did drift off a few times during meetings. Luna may have felt feelings for Ron in the fifth book, having drawn out a laugh at one of his jokes for a bit too long, and choosing to single him out out of all the Gryffindor Quidditch players at the table to say good luck to.

She comforts Harry at the end of the fifth book, someone he least suspects to do so. It is also the first time he feels sympathy towards Luna, instead of annoyance or confusion. By the end of the year she had become a good friend of Harry, Ron and Hermione.

Her reaction was surprising when Harry asked her to Slughorn's party, where she became excited, and asked if they should wear matching clothing. Sibyll Trelawney and Luna had a good discussion at the party. When you compare the two together they are pretty similar. She was also one of the old DA members who fought the Death Eaters in Hogwarts as only she and Neville had missed the meetings enough to turn up when they had been called.
