kiaranah Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I remember starting this thread waaay back when in one of the older versions of these forums and there were a lot of supporters, so did any of you guys ever ship Harry and Luna? After I finished OotP I personally couldn't get enough of them and hoped they'd be endgame Link to post Share on other sites
Dumbledores Woman Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Aw, Harry/Luna are cute. Whilst I have always been/will always be a true H/G and R/Hr Shipper, I have enjoyed pairing Luna with just about everyone at some point or other in fandom. She is such a unique, fresh character with such an interesting dynamic with so many people - I find I can enjoy Harry/Luna, Ron/Luna, even Draco/Luna in fanart and fanfiction. In the books however, the nearest I've got to shipping Luna with someone is Dean for a while during the seventh book and more generally, Neville. But yeah, good idea for a thread! For me the things which I like about Harry and Luna together are that she is so positive and free in herself, a breath of fresh air for Harry, and open-minded enough that she is one of few who are really capable of understanding him. The loss of their mother is also a bond they both share. Harry likewise, as an outsider himself, is more capable than most of understanding - and even being attracted to - Luna's loneliness and unconventional ways. They are both people who will never quite fit into 'normal' society, so I think there's a lot of common ground there which could have been a good basis had Harry and Luna been put together romantically.

Mr. Pumpkinhead Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I could ship movie Harry/Luna a lot easier than book Harry/Luna I think. Even though I could easily understand the appeal considering their personalities and histories. I was never big for the whole Luna/Neville thing that the movies (esp. DH2) tried to portray. To me it seemed contrived simply to appeal to HP fans who liked the pairing. I don't like when movies veer off from the canon just to pander to fandom. While I appreciate any fan's shipping choices I come down a bit harder on "shipping" when a movie director or producer is imparting their ideas and those stray from canon.

cbmac12 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Oh gosh to be honest I mean completely honest...ok...book version I wanted H/G always-they were meant to be together...BUT movie-I really wanted Harry and Luna together-there was something about them together...but overall no I would rather it be Harry and Ginny (which of course it was ).
