Everyone likes to examine the
characters that seem to change the most, but a lot can be said about the
characters that, even through this epic journey, seem to stay the same. This, I believe, can be said most
predominantly about Luna. Every
character seems to find something special about them or grow into full maturity
throughout the books. Luna on the other
hand begins the stories as quirky and as much as an individual as she is in the
very end of the seventh book. Her amazing
quality is that she is truly and 100% comfortable in her own skin. Still, it is nearly impossible to go through
all that these characters have and not change at all. Luna goes from being in the shadows to being
a ray of hope and a beacon for those around her to feel safe. In the Malfoy mansion she is surprisingly
calm for the situation that she finds her and her friends in. Her level headed-ness seems to sooth those
around her and for the reader gives us the idea that even in this dark time
good will prevail. I enjoy Luna’s story
cause as oblivious as she seems to her differences from everyone else; I doubt
she really cares. Being comfortable with
yourself is something that nearly everyone has trouble with. In this digital age we are bombarded with preconceived
notions of what beauty is and how everyone should be to “fit in.” Luna’s character never wavers from her
complete individualistic manner. It is a
character that serves a key role and should be looked at as something everyone
should hope to have even a little bit in common with.
