When Hermione points out that the carriages are pulling themselves as always, Luna quickly tries to offer words of comfort to Harry. Luna is reading a magazine upside down and is wearing outlandish clothing so the line is more ironic than comforting but it's the fact she tries that is most important.
Luna's lack of self-awareness at this moment shows her to be one of the most eccentric Harry Potter characters. Harry and Luna's talk in the forest is a rare and refreshing moment of quiet amongst the chaos. Luna takes this time to fully explain The Thestrals to Harry and why he can see them.
This scene also shows a different side to Luna as she reveals why she can see Thestrals. While most people were afraid of The Thestrals, Luna feels akin to them and sees their difference as beautiful. Although this conversation must have been emotional for Luna, she goes out of her way to support Harry, even telling him she believes his story about Voldemort. At a truly lonely time for Harry, Luna becomes a great source of comfort to him. When Dumbledore's Army first meets at The Hog's Head, many of the students are more interested in prying into Harry's past rather than joining the cause.
However, Luna interrupts this prying to ask about Harry's ability to cast a Patronus. Luna seems truly in awe when Hermione confirms Harry is able to conjure a Patronus. Unlike her peers, Luna has little interest in gossip and actually wants to help Harry. She seems determined to improve her own abilities and it's heartwarming to see her actually cast a Patronus in The Room of Requirement later on. At the climax of the fifth movie, Luna finds herself heading to The Ministry.
After all, he's not really much of a prominent power in the wizarding world, most people think he's just some old kook, so it actually seems like taking Luna prisoner would legitimize whatever Xenophilius had been saying about Voldemort in the first place. There's no doubt that Luna is a pretty tough young girl, and she has faced a lot in her relatively short life.
However, it's a little hard to understand why she so easily withstands torture. She is both mistreated by Dolores Umbridge and when she is held prisoner at Malfoy Manor, and she is repeatedly described as unbothered and almost bored by the abuse. Why exactly is that? Once people get past the fact that Luna does tend to live up to her nickname of "Loony," it's safe to say that she's actually a pretty cool chick.
However, it's not that typical for children or teenagers to get past the weird behavior of their peers to look more deeply into their personalities.
It's great that Luna has developed so many friendships, but it might not be entirely realistic. Best known for her role as Luna Lovegood in the popular Harry Potter franchise, Evanna Lynch is all set to get real with her fans with the help of her debut memoir.
Speaking to E! News, the actor mentioned that her memoir titled, The Opposite of Butterfly Hunting: The Tragedy and The Glory of Growing Up was an opportunity for her to re-introduce herself to the world. She also shared that the memory covers her battle with anorexia and her recovery from the eating disorder.
The memoir was launched on October Lynch mentioned in her interview that she does not have an eating disorder anymore and that it's been a few years since she has been 'eating like a normal, healthy person and having balanced habits'. In addition to feeling weird about knowing so much about the actors' personal lives from years of following them from afar, Lynch said she often felt "inferior" on set.
