Quote of the week

"I enjoyed the meetings, too. It was like having friends."

-Luna, Half Blood Prince

        Luna and Neville are somewhat pathetic characters, they truly are. But we see times, especially later in the series when they come into their own. In a way they are some more of JKR's red herrings; they seem weak and use, but in reality they are better than anyone else when it comes to being brave and doing what is right. This quote also reminds me of another quality that Luna has, her ability to point out the uncomfortable truth. She doesn't filter what she says the way that most others do. This is what often ostracizes her from the rest of society. She tells others about her beliefs or says things that makes them feel uncomfortable, as evidenced above. This quality gives Luna her uniqueness, her quirks. For most of us, it is what makes us love Luna.
