It’s already midway through 2024, and J.K. Rowling’sHarry Potterfranchise is still relevant even after 13 years since the end of the last film. To celebrate the longest-running movie franchises of all time, starring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint, we took a look into the best female character of all time.
Now, before we unveil people’s favorite choice for the best female character in theHarry Potterfilms, we must warn that Emma Watson’s fans might feel upset, for Hermione Granger couldn’t steal the show. It is apparently Evanna Lynch’s character Luna Lovegood, who became the fans’ favorite oddball and a surprising delight onscreen.
Evanna Lynch Toppled Emma Watson to Become the Fan-Favorite Character
AlthoughEmma Watsonjoined theHarry Potterfilms at a tender age as an integral part of the Golden Trio, the actress couldn’t secure the top position among fans. Despiteher appearance as the assertive, confident, and brilliant witch, Hermione Granger, Watson was surprisingly outvoted by Evanna Lynch’s Luna Lovegood.

According to several articles and fans’ votes onReddit, the “Looney” Ravenclaw girl became the best female character in the franchise for her nuances and her layers of complexities. Although Luna was often considered the dreamy kid with eccentric ideas and mannerisms, her comforting presence is what got her the most attention, in the long run.
Taking to the Reddit comment section,u/Jasminary2cast the first vote for Luna Lovegood claiming how adorable and thoughtful the character was, since her introduction in theOrder of the Phoenix.Further,u/Novembersumnoted that Luna was perhaps the most honest character in the franchise, who feared not to speak the truth, much like Harry.
Thereafter,u/owlyeahcommented that Luna Lovegood is often deemed the best female character due to the very thing that also makes her unique, her eccentricities. Meanwhile,u/bangs-laruespecifically cast the vote for Luna, by comparing her characteristics with Hermione, whereinLynch’s character was called confidentand aware of subtleties, until Watson’s Hermione.
Luna Lovegood’s Characteristics That Made Her the BestHarry PotterCharacter
While fans stated their reasons for casting their votes forEvanna Lynch‘s Luna Lovegood, we believe there are far deeper intricacies to her character that are beyond comparison. Taking, for example, Luna’s most famous line “you’re just as sane as I am”, it immediately defined her comforting nature while hinting at her offbeat mannerisms.

From comforting Harry’s anxiety and confusion after he saw the Thestrals pulling the carts to supporting the titular character through chaos, Luna Lovegood became an unmatchable companion. Her ability to see people and every creature’s difference as beautiful, alongside her sheer talent of being a great source of peace, made Luna a ray of sunshine during dark times.
Moreover, the way Luna Lovegood often believed in Harry and actually helped him without prying about his past life, propelled her to great heights in people’s hearts. Further, her sheer courage at the Ministry of Magic while fighting the Death Eaters, and the way she offered her selfless act of service to Harry and his friends throughout the films, was beyond comparison.
Last but not least, who can forget about the time when Luna Lovegood wore the handmade Lion Headdress in support of Gryffindor, ahead of the Quidditch match, despite being a Ravenclaw? These little gestures without caring about people’s opinions are what made her the boldest and the most likable character throughout the franchise.
Harry Potterfilms are currently available to watch on Max.
