Look Like Luna Lovegood
So you want to look and act like the dotty, dreamy Luna Lovegood from the Harry Potter series? Luna's most important traits are her open mind and adventurous spirit. She's artistic and calm, but also opinionated. Once you've got her personality traits mastered, dying your hair white blond and donning a V-neck sweater and tie (Luna's uniform) will complete the look!
Steps
- Luna is a very open minded person. If you're not, then explore new things, try new things. Start by considering new ways of thinking, and then explore them. Luna's open-mindedness was one of her strongest qualities. Always trust the people you care about, and never shut anything out based on logic.
- Luna is always very calm. Even in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, she managed to remain calm. Don't ever panic or get frustrated about anything. A lot of people will tell you to practice meditation to calm yourself down, and while it's a very calming experience for a few minutes, it can get boring. Do whatever works to keep yourself calm and if you're about to panic, just tell yourself that everything will always work out somehow.
- Speak your mind. Speak about any of your ideas and opinions in class. Luna shares what she thinks with people through the series. Even no matter how strange or on the contrary it is. Don't care what others may think. Oh and remember to follow the above step (stay calm). Luna was never angry or "strong" on her points and ideas. Just act natural.
- She's a very dreamy person, always thinking of something else. Though you should listen to people when they're talking to you, if you don't find a conversation interesting, feel free to think of something you find more interesting.
- Luna is artistic, as shown by the brilliant drawings of her friends she drew. You don't have to be Monet, but a little drawing once in a while can be fun, and if you really try, you never know, you might come out with something quite impressive.
- Use fashion to express yourself. Luna's quirky fashion sense was one of her trademarks, so if you find a particular hairstyle, make up style, or item of clothing nice, then don't hesitate to wear it. No matter what people say, you are you and have the right to wear what you want. Fashion isn't just something to make you look good to Luna, it's a way of expressing yourself. If you do want to emulate Luna's clothing based on the movie, then you may want to wear layers such as cardigans, light jackets, skirts, tights, and sneakers. Wear what ever colors you wish. Luna was all about color and mismatching. She had very unique hand-made jewelry as well.
- Express yourself. If you are someone who is a follower, it's time to step away from your group. Just because a lot of girls are in cliques doesn't mean you have to be in one!
- Most importantly, be intelligent. Think with your head and not your heart. Get good grades. After all, she was a Ravenclaw.
Tips
- The most important thing in all of this is having an open mind. You can't feel comfortable dressing differently or trying to be like this if you have a closed mind, so master that before anything else.
- Be prepared for teasing. People at the mall might stare and laugh at you, but don't take it too personally. It's their problem, not yours!
- Though you should try to be yourself, feel free to copy Luna in some cases. If you find something Luna does/says/wears interesting, then by all means, use it!
- Don't worry if people comment. You are yourself and sure you might dress and act differently, but you shouldn't have to be the same as everyone else. Just because they're too afraid to stand out doesn't mean you should be too. Don't dwell on it too much, it doesn't matter.
Warnings
- Be sure not to drone out a teacher no matter how intensely boring they may be
- Don't change too much. All of this is optional; you can take none or all of this and use it as you wish.
- Don't drift off on your friends as it may seem like you're ignoring them.
