Luna Lovegood is a fictional character in the Harry Potter book series by J. K. Rowling. She first appears in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, where she is described as having straggly, waist-length dirty-blonde hair and a dazed, dreamy look on her face.[1][2]
Luna is played by Irish actress Evanna Lynch in the film adaptations of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and both Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 and Part 2.[3] On her website, Rowling called Lynch "perfect" for the role.[4]
Lynch had to bleach her hair light blond in order to play the role,[5] and has received critical acclaim.[6][7]
