It has come to my attention how close Harry and Luna really are, and their ship is so underated!!
Disclaimer: No, I am not saying this ship is better then others; no, I am not saying you absolutely have to ship them. I am not saying Harry only likes Luna or she’s the only one who makes him smile or she’s the only good friend he has(you’d think im exaggerating but their are a lot of people who’ll see it like that), etc.
I’ve never really understood why so many people ship Luna and Ginny- or Linny(?)- and not Harry and Luna. If you, however, don’t get how I could ever ship those two, I have reasons, and I’m going to listen them below!
Luna and Harry are very close, like very close(because apparently repeating something two times mean you really mean it).
Luna is one of the rare people who treat Harry like a regular human being, just plain ol’ Harry; not the famous Boy Who Lived! And I’m guessing that’s all Harry could ask for sometimes. I mean- he has his own problems with the Dursleys(in the beginning, anyway) and Voldermort I think the boy-who-lived attention got annoying at some point(??).
It’s not like he was constantly showered with attention, but still. Students still get excited when they see him(excludingThe Goblet of Fire), and let’s be honest: even Ron(slightly but not really Hermione) got a bit excited when they found out they were talking to Harry Potter.
Luna, however just saw him as Harry(you already said that you idiot). And it was a bit obvious Harry liked that.
Also, they had really good chemistry off screen and book-wise, which was kind of rare with certain characters, even Ron and Hermione at some times. Hell, Harry and Ginny relationship was just… Odd.
Ginny was odd on screen period, but that’ll be addressed in a different post.
Anywho, if you ever noticed, Harry usually had a genuine smile around Luna, has anyone else noticed that?? Or am I just laying way too much attention? Not saying that he gave fake smiles to everyone else(duh!!), just saying.
Sometimes, I think JK chose Luna as Harrys original love interest, but changed her mind. I mean, how close they are is insane!! Then again, friends can be that close to, so maybe I’m over analyzing.
But they did hold hands(next gif).
Anyway, if you’ve gotten this far, you’re one kewl witch or wizard(or non-binary magical being??).
If you want, please leave suggestions on what I should post next(no, it doesn’t have to be harry potter related)!!
With that being said…
Until next time, my friends!
Interesting. I ship Lunarry, but also Linny and Hinny (as well as Harry x Ginny x Luna in a poly ship). Thoughts, everybody?
Speaking of Ron and Hermione, I think that the films were responsible for their instances of iffy chemistry; since the screen-writer for all but one of the HP films (Steve Kloves) had something of a bias against Ron and seemed to want Hermione matched with virtually anyone except the person she canonically fell in love with.
Harry is totally flirting with her. And I am 100% here for it.
When I first read the Order of the Phoenix,I truly thought Harry/Luna was endgame.
Then HBP came along and I guess JKR remembered she wanted Harry/Ginny and I was so confused 😂
I thought I was the only one who thought that! I like Hinny, but I honestly thought Harry and Luna were going to be a thing from the last few chapters of OOTP.

shops for groceries: Harry sometimes. He doesnt have to shop for much because Luna had Harry get them enough land to have a small farm with cows, pigs, chickens, fruits, and vegetables.
kills the spiders: Luna sets them free
comes home drunk at 3am: Harry does sometimes.
makes breakfast: Luna loves making breakfast, but Harry makes it when he is off because he leaves for work before Luna wakes up. She’s a writer and wakes up when she wants.
remembers to feed the fish: They have a pond with koi fish that Luna feeds and sings to every morning.
decorates the apartment: they have a small cottage outside of Godric’s Hollow and Luna painted all the walls and ceilings. Harry got furniture and things to match.
initiates duets: Luna
falls asleep first: Luna sometimes waits up for Harry if he is having a late night and loves to hum him to sleep.
“Luna had decorated her bedroom ceiling with five beautifully painted faces: Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Neville. They were not moving as the portraits at Hogwarts moved, but there was a certain magic about them all the same: Harry thought they breathed. What appeared to be fine golden chains wove around the pictures, linking them together, but after examining them for a minute or so, Harry realized that the chains were actually one word, repeated a thousand times in golden ink: friends… friends … friends …
“
“I don’t think you should be an Auror, Harry. The Aurors are part of the Rotfang Conspiracy, I thought everyone knew that. They’re working to bring down the Ministry of Magic from within using a mixture of dark magic and gum disease.”
Interviewer: If you had to choose between Hermione, Ginny, Luna, and Cho Chang, for you, who is the best couple for Harry?
Dan: Um, I would say Luna.
Interviewer: Luna?
Dan: Because I think…I think her and Harry have both had similar pasts, and that we’ve both had, um, we’ve both had people die who had been very close to us, and um, and…I think Harry’s got definitely…there is definitely an affinity, a very strong connection to Luna.
