Parentage:
Name: Luna Lovegood
- nickname: Loony Luna Lovegood
- name meaning: Luna- Latin for Moon

Harry
so it is assumed her birthday was sometime in the year 1981)
- birth date: c. 1981
-date of death: still living
Wand: unknown, but she typically has it behind her ear for safekeeping.
Boyfriend/Significant other: None, but she does seem to be a little sweet
on one Ronald Weasley (she’s been known to hum “Weasley is our King’ to
herself.)
Parents: Her father is the editor of the Quibber. The Quibber is kind of a
wizarding tabloid. They have been known to publish less than reputable stories,
though they did make a splash when they published Rita Skeeter’s article about
Harry Potter’s witness of the rebirth of Lord Voldemort.
Her mother has passed away when she was 9 years old. We don’t know exactly how
Luna’s mother died. We know she had a love for experiments. She may have been an
Unspeakable. (wudnulike2no adds that in OOTP, Luna states that her mother
liked to experiment and that one of her spells went awry when she was 9.
We can assume that this was the cause of her death and that it may have been
rather...ugly)
Living Arrangement: She travels around with her father during the summer. Her
family may be the Lovegoods mentioned living near Ottery Street
Appearance:
Luna has waist length straggly dirty blond hair and very faint eyebrows that
offset her protuberant eyes. She has a dreamy look that often looks like she has
turned up where she is by complete accident.

Body Type: Thin (presumed)
Distinguishing Characteristics: Her dreamy expression, and her habit of wearing
her wand behind her ear.
Skills/Other:
Beliefs: Luna holds a variety of rather strange beliefs, which seem to have no
basis in fact, but her steadfast faith and calm demeanor are in some ways her
finest strengths. While she believe in Crumple-Horned Snorkacks, she also
believes that she will see her deceased mother again after death, and it is this
belief which comforts Harry.
Academic/Career Skills: Luna is a Ravenclaw, so it is presumed she is an
intelligent student.
Least Favorite Thing To Do: She doesn’t seem to have any.
Habits: Luna loves to create completely off the wall saying at the most
inappropriate moments.
"Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure...”
"You can laugh, but people used to believe there were no such things as the
Blibbering Humdinger or the Crumple-Horned Snorkack!"
"I think I'll just go down and have some pudding and wait for it all to turn up
… it always does in the end…"
House: Ravenclaw
Special Skills: None known
Special Possessions: None known
Facts About Luna Lovegood:
Luna Lovegood is a year younger than Harry, which will make her a fifth year in
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Her classmates consider her to be a
little odd, which isn’t a reputation she hasn’t earned honestly. She dresses
unusually, she proclaims her strange beliefs to anyone who will listen (and even
some who won’t), and in some ways she seems to be completely out of touch with
reality. Her behavior is completely bizarre, but she doesn’t seem to notice.
Some of her unusual habits include creating strange roaring hats, hunting
Crumple-Honred Snorkacks, and avoiding Nargles.
Because of her odd behavior she finds herself the subject of jokes and pranks.
Most refer to her as Loony Luna Lovegood, and as Ron would say, “a nutter.”
Every year the students in her house hide her things, but she doesn’t seem to
mind too much, she knows they’ll eventually turn up. She wears a butterbeer cap
necklace and enjoys reading a Quibber upside down.
The first time Harry was introduced to Luna was on the train ride to Hogwarts
during his fifth year. We don’t have any indication that he’d even noticed her
before this time. He, Ginny, and Neville were forced to share a compartment with
her on the train because there were no other seats left. She has a loud laugh,
and she enjoys a good joke told by ‘Ronald.' She informed Ron that Padma didn’t
appreciate how he ignored her during the Yule Ball, but that she wouldn’t have
minded, since she didn’t really like dancing.
Harry quickly discovered Luna was more than meets the eye when he discovered she
could see Thestrals. She told him that he was as sane as she was, which wasn't
all that comforting to hear.
Luna joined the DA, and even took to defending Harry. She proved to be a true
friend, even supporting Gryffindor when they were playing Slytherin during the
yearly Quidditch match. She was one of the few DA members who went with Harry to
the Ministry of Magic to rescue Sirius from Voldemort.
Luna’s greatest moment as a character was at the end of Order of the Phoenix.
When nobody could offer any comforting words to ease Harry’s suffering from the
loss of Sirius, Luna lightened his heart. She eased some of his pain by telling
him that he’ll see Sirius again someday, and reminding Harry of what he heard
behind the veil in the Ministry of Magic’s Department of Mysteries.
