connielane at 10:36am on 14/02/2007How cute is this new picture of Harry and Luna from OotP? He's all wooby and she's all consoling and "you poor thing."
I love that these movies really GET that thing in the books where Harry can be around other girls and be close to them and even (*gasp*) touch them without having to be romantically interested in them. That's such an important aspect of the books - that the girls are lots of other things besides potential mates for some boy. I think this pic, along with many similar pics of Harry and Hermione from all five movies, effectively show the contrast between Harry interacting with a girl he fancies and Harry interacting with a girl who's his valued friend.
Props to Jo and to the HP filmmakers for getting the clue that females can be important to a male hero's story without being The One to be Fallen in Love With!
