Affiliation	Ravenclaw; Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Appearance

Luna initially has a deliberately eccentric presentation, though Sean notes that she is attractive beneath it. When she chooses to dress up for the Yule Ball, other students scarcely recognize her. 101 168 324

• Waist-length, messy dark-blonde hair 101
• Very pale eyebrows and slightly protruding eyes, giving her a perpetually surprised look 101
• Wears unusual clothing, including carrot earrings 168
• Later adopts a less eccentric style closer to the outfit Sean designed for the Yule Ball. 410
• Her Ravenclaw roommates are said to play pranks on her, including taking her shoes. 323

Personality

Luna is sincere, gentle, and unusually direct. After recovering from petrification, she thanks Sean for killing the basilisk when others have not, viewing his actions as justice rather than judging him by his Slytherin affiliation. 168

She is absent-minded about practical matters and unconcerned with conventional appearances: she once arrives at a Quidditch match without putting on proper clothes and later attributes her missing shoes to Nargles. 241 323 Despite this, she is considerate of others' feelings. Following Gavin Bulstrode's death, she brings Sean handmade and personally chosen gifts intended to share happiness and ease his grief. 410

Luna also maintains an independent attitude toward status. Even after Sean becomes a professor and Minister for Magic, she continues to call him simply “Sean.” 524

History

Luna is sorted into Ravenclaw at the beginning of her first documented year at Hogwarts. Sean notices her unusual appearance and clothing during the Sorting Ceremony. 101

She is later petrified during the Chamber of Secrets incident. Once restored, she approaches Sean to thank him for killing the basilisk, calling him different from other Slytherins and attributing a sense of justice to him. 168

During her third year, Luna develops a friendly connection with Sean. He creates a blue coat for her by Transfiguration when she arrives underdressed to a Quidditch match, and later heals her injured feet and Transfigures blue leather shoes after her own shoes disappear. 241 323 Sean helps her prepare for the Yule Ball, where her altered appearance surprises even fellow Ravenclaws. 324

After Gavin's death, Luna visits Sean aboard the Hogwarts Express with flowers, fruit, and handmade shell wind chimes. She explains that each gift was prepared during a happy moment when she thought of him, hoping that the happiness behind them will comfort him. 410 She later gives Sean a Time-Turner, while making clear that she will not remain in a Slytherin compartment merely because of their friendship. 411

When Sean investigates the Lovegood family's connection to the Madman, Luna accompanies him to meet Xenophilius Lovegood. She uses the Scouring Charm to clear dust from the room while her father searches for the family diary, and she returns to Hogwarts with Sean afterward. 524 525
