This weekend I watched the new Harry Potter movie.  It was good… I’m in the process of re-reading book 6 before I read the last book.  Anyway, I’ve decided my favorite character is Luna Lovegood.  Although Luna is a little bit of a loner, she is a loyal friend.  She has a very unwavering and unique perspective on life.  But what I love most is her accepting nature. 

When a group of admiring girls come to ask Harry to sit with them on the train saying “you don’t have to sit with them”, referring to Neville and Luna, Harry, responds “they’re my friends”.  At which Luna simply says with no malace “they think you should have cooler friends”.  She isn’t hurt or upset.  There has to be a certain freedom which comes with that way of thinking.

I may need to create a list of some of my other favorite movie characters (top 10?)… like Samwise Gamgee or Shane.
