Luna Lovegood

Background

Luna Lovegood is a witch from house Ravenclaw and student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

During the events of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) played by Evanna Lynch

Harry Potter sees what has been pulling the carriages, a Thestral. Luna tells Harry that she can also see the Thestral.

During the Hogwarts banquet, Albus Dumbledore welcomes back Professor Grubbly-Plank as the Care of Magical Creatures while Hagrid is away. He then introduces Dolores Umbridge as the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Dolores interrupts Dumbledore and tells the students that the Ministry of Magic is very concerned about their education.

Harry sees Luna petting a Thestral and notices she has no shoes and Luna tells him, her shoes somehow disappeared. She tells Harry about the Thestrals and how only people who have seen death can see them. She tells him that both she and her dad believe Harry about Voldemort. She then tells him that Voldemort would want Harry to think he is alone. Dolores and Professor McGonagall have an argument about Harry's punishment and Dolores declares that things at Hogwarts are worse than the Ministry thought. Mr Filch posts a decree stating that Dolores has been appointed as the Hogwarts High Inquisitor.

Hermione Granger organizes a meeting with some of the other students at Hog's Head, where Barman works. Somewhat Doubtful Boy wonders why they need to be taught how to combat the dark arts and Slightly Creepy Boy asks Harry to describe more of what happened when Cedric Diggory was killed. Nigel asks if Voldemort is really back, and Harry tells everyone he is. They then form a group called Dumbledore's Army. Dumbledore's Army, which consists of Harry, Hermione, Ron Weasley, Fred Weasley, George Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Cho Chang, Nigel, Dean Thomas, Padma Patil, Parvati Patil, Somewhat Doubtful Boy, Slightly Creepy Boy and others, uses the Room of Requirement to train. More students join Dumbledore's Army. During one of their training sessions, they are caught by Dolores, Filch and the student members of the inquisitors. Dolores replaces Dumbledore as head of Hogwarts and all members of Dumbledore's Army are required to go to detention where they are forced to experience the same abuse as Harry was. Harry and Hermione meet up with Ron, Ginny, Neville, and Luna and they fly on Thestrals to the Ministry of Magic.

They take the elevator to the Department of Mysteries and Neville finds a globe of prophecy with Harry's name on it. Harry picks up the prophecy which states that neither him or Voldemort can survive while the other lives. They are surrounded by Death Eaters, including Lucius, who reveals to Harry that Voldemort tricked him and Sirius was not in danger. They demand the prophecy and a running battle starts. Harry and the others escape to the room of the Veil where they are surrounded by the Death Eaters and his friends are captured. The Order of the Phoenix arrive and another battle starts. The prophecy is destroyed when Lucius drops it. Bellatrix Lestrange casts the Avada Kedavra spell against Sirius Black, hurtling him towards the Veil, which absorbs him.
