Who is lovegood in harry potter

He rushes out and informs the pair that Professor Flitwick has collapsed and they take the bait, immediately rushing to his aid. This allows Snape to slip away and he later murders Albus Dumbledore, having struck an agreement with the Hogwarts headmaster over his death. Unless you've got a heart made from stone, you'll know that Dobby's death is one of the saddest moments in the whole Harry Potter series.

The Deathly Hallows: Part 1 certainly does a good job of showing the Boy Who Lived in a state of distress, burying the poor little house elf alone as he comes to terms with the death of yet another loved one.

What it doesn't show is Luna's role. She performs the eulogy at Dobby's funeral and is the one who closed Dobby's eyes after his passing. The movie decided to make it seem as if Harry did all the work but, in the source material, it's a bit more of a team effort.

She does this because the Boy Who Lived is determined to locate Ravenclaw's missing diadem. In the book, though, Luna actually takes him to her house's common room. There, Harry and Luna are forced to hide after Amycus Carrow bursts in to find his sister, Alecto, unconscious on the floor.

Amycus spits in the face of Minerva McGonagall and this enrages Harry, who emerges from his hiding place to hit the Death Eater with the Cruciatus Curse.

While we don't condone violence, there's definitely no denying Amycus deserved what he got. After the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry is very much the man of the moment. Just about everybody with magical blood in them wants to touch him, to talk to him, to congratulate him for the way he defeated Lord Voldemort and finally brought peace to the world.

As a result, he struggles to get some alone time with Ron and Hermione. But that's where Luna's loving heart comes in.

She causes a distraction that allows Harry to break away and talk with his friends, reflecting on their triumph over Lord Voldemort and mourning those they lost along the way. It's a small gesture but it shows just how golden Luna really is.

By Jack Otway Published Sep 07, As she witnessed her mother's death, she was able to see Thestrals , the magical skeletal black horses that led the Hogwarts carriages, from that point onward.

One year behind the famous Harry Potter, she noticed Thestrals on her very first day of school, 1 September During her years at Hogwarts, she was often teased by many of the other students due to her strange behaviour and odd beliefs. Some time during her early years at Hogwarts students had also taken to calling her "Loony Lovegood". Luna also met and became a friend of Ginny Weasley , who was in the same year as her. In the summer of , she went to the Quidditch World Cup with her father.

In her third year at Hogwarts, she chose Divination as an elective, as in the — school year Professor Trelawney claimed to miss her in class; Luna explained she had Firenze that year. Luna meeting the trio and Neville Longbottom for the first time. She believed Harry's declaration that Lord Voldemort was back. As the year progressed, she was invited to join an underground Defence Against the Dark Arts group called Dumbledore's Army , which was taught and led by Harry Potter.

This organisation was to teach practical defence. She eagerly accepted, working hard along with the others and enjoying their company. In an effort to make people believe Harry's 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.

The copy sold out, every Hogwarts student and possibly every professor as well, read the copy because of the Education Decree that stated that it was banned on school grounds.

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 Umbridge 's 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.

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. The six D. The group was soon ambushed by twelve Death Eaters. Moody and Tonks helping Luna during the stand-off in the Death Chamber. 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 Ginny's ankle with the Reductor Curse , which destroyed a model of the planet Pluto.

The model blew up in the Death Eater's face; however, the impact broke Ginny's ankle. Luna was one of the last D. 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 mother 's 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 Quibbler' s interview with Harry to see if they could catch a Crumple-Horned Snorkack. This year was Luna's O. 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.

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. Luna Lovegood at the Slug club party. 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 Slughorn's Christmas party with him, just as friends, and Luna excitedly 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 Harry's ambition to become an Auror. She continued the discussion of the Rotfang Conspiracy with Professor Trelawney , who seemed completely interested. Luna was also present when Draco Malfoy was caught out of bed after hours by Filch and dragged into the party to be punished.

Also that year, Luna would temporarily replace Zacharias Smith as Quidditch commentator for the school. Many found Luna's commentary amusing, as Luna forgot players' names and went off on tangents such as speculating that Smith, who was unable to maintain procession of the Quaffle for longer than a minute, was suffering from " Loser's Lurgy ", or saying how a cloud was interestingly shaped. She never actually attempted 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 and slightly off-putting. 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. Harry asked her and Hermione to watch Snape's 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. Luna helped him into his seat when they attended Albus Dumbledore's funeral at the end of the school year. Luna and her father talking with Harry at Bill and Fleur's wedding.

Luna was able to instantly recognise Harry Potter , who was disguised as a Weasley cousin by use of Polyjuice Potion , by only his expression. She wore yellow robes, at her father's insistence, and had a sunflower in her hair. Her father believed that wearing sun colours to weddings brought luck. Luna sat at the same table as Harry, Hermione , and Ron.

At one point, while under the influence of gnome saliva, Luna started dancing by herself, twirling on the dance floor with her arms raised.

This drew attention from a few onlookers, as it was a very bizarre sight. That day, the Ministry of Magic was taken over by Voldemort , so it was to a Death Eater -controlled Hogwarts that Luna returned for her sixth year. On 1 September, Death Eaters boarded the train in search of Harry Potter, but were unsuccessful in capturing him because he wasn't on board. Early in the year, Luna, Ginny , and Neville attempted to steal the Sword of Gryffindor from the Headmaster's office, in an effort to help Harry.

Snape caught them and sent them into the Forbidden Forest with Rubeus Hagrid as punishment. The three of them revived and led Dumbledore's Army , which tried to sabotage the Death Eaters' control of the school and to help Harry, Ron and Hermione — who were off hunting down Voldemort's 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. Ollivander and Luna held captive in the basement of Malfoy Manor. 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 with an erumpent horn, which Xenophilius had believed to be a Crumple-Horned Snorkack 's, blew up inside. After the failed ambush Xeno was taken to Azkaban prison for the remainder of the war. After Luna helped cut the ropes off their new cell-mates, Dobby the house-elf came to free them.

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-elf's 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. All of Dumbledore's Army was reassembled and prepared to fight.

Harry and Luna in Ravenclaw Tower looking for clues. When the trio asked the Ravenclaw D. She took Harry to the Ravenclaw common room, answering the riddle, " What came first, the Phoenix or the flame?

There, she stunned Alecto Carrow , who was waiting for them per Lord Voldemort 's orders. When given the choice, she joined the battle rather than evacuating with the younger students. She stood side-by-side with fellow D. It is unknown exactly what Luna did after accompanying Harry to Ravenclaw Tower.

However, at one point she, Ernie Macmillan , and Seamus Finnigan helped the trio 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. It was Harry's Patronus that caused the Dementors to finally scatter. Luna and the others slipped back into the battle. She was present when Voldemort reported Harry supposed "death" and when Neville bravely stood up to Voldemort.

It can be assumed that she was horrified when Neville was set on fire because of his defiance of the Dark Lord. Luna and Neville Longbottom after the final battle. Near the end of the battle, she fought against Bellatrix Lestrange , alongside Hermione and Ginny. When Bellatrix cast a Killing Curse at Ginny that missed by a mere milometer, Molly Weasley stepped in and killed her. At the beginning of The Half-Blood Prince, Luna is handing out Quibblers in another one of her unusual outfits, complete with her iconic Spectrespecs.

As the students are leaving the train, Harry is attacked by Draco and left stunned under his invisibility cloak. Harry was all set for a long and uncomfortable trip back to London until Luan came to his aid. It's ironic that Luna is able to save Harry after seeing wrackspurts through the Spectrespecs. Luna's stories of strange creatures are often laughed off by those around her but after seeing wrackspurts swarming around Harry, she's able to save him - and even fixes his nose for good measure.

As Gryffindor prepares to face Slytherin on the Quidditch pitch, Luna appears in the Great Hall with a brand new accessory. In one of Luna's most inspirational scenes , she is seen wearing a handmade Lion Headdress in support of Gryffindor which is especially sweet considering she's a Ravenclaw. Most other Ravenclaws probably wouldn't care about this match but Luna goes above and beyond to support her friends. Luna also obliviously asks Harry about what he's put in Ron's cup which is actually instrumental in his plan to improve Ron's confidence.

Of course, Harry never really puts the Liquid Luck in Ron's cup so it's actually Luna's apparent mishap that leads to him feeling more confident on the pitch. While Bill and Fleur's wedding turns out to be quite a dramatic affair, at least Luna had a good time. Despite the later chaos and being bitten by a garden gnome, Luna is seen happily dancing with her father at the wedding.

Their style of dancing is rather unusual and certainly provides some comedy in one of the darker movies of the franchise. Many of Luna's characteristics seem to come from her Dad so it's not surprising that they have the same dance style, particularly one that's so unusual. One of the most dramatic things to happen to Luna is when she is kidnaped by the Deatheaters.

At some point after Bill and Fleur's wedding, Luna is taken to Malfoy Manor and locked in the basement along with Ollivander and Griphook. Eventually, the golden trio is also brought to the Manor and Dobby turns up to rescue them. Seeing Dobby after so long was a rewarding moment, even if it did lead to heartbreak and it was amazing to see him alongside another fan favorite like Luna.

Of course, Dobby spent most of his life being disrespected and abused so it was heartwarming that Luna referred to him as 'Sir'- and Dobby seemed delighted by it too. While Luna doesn't get a lot of screen time in the final movie, she actually proves invaluable in the quest to defeat Voldemort.
