Luna "Loony" Lovegood (born c. 1981) is a fictional character from the Harry Potter series. She is described as looking like an embodiment of dottiness, with her wand tucked behind her ear for safekeeping, orange radish earrings (not to be confused with turnips),[1] and a necklace made of butterbeer corks.
Luna's father is the editor of The Quibbler, a magazine where he prints (according to her) "important stories he thinks the public needs to know." The stories are often ridiculously untrue and silly; Harry Potter briefly considers that it may be a spoof magazine, until he learns that Luna believes them; thus many consider her beliefs odd. Luna defends her beliefs, her father and his magazine against insults from other characters, most notably from Hermione Granger; these are the only instances where she snaps out of her customary "dreamy phase."
