== Analysis ==
Luna Lovegood is portrayed as being somewhat odd in her behavior.

Luna is certainly one who thinks differently from most, and is unafraid to display that difference. It is possible that she is as intelligent as Hermione, but that is not obvious, as Hermione is written as something of a show-off, at least initially, and never attempts to hide her knowledge, while Luna, alongside her unusual belief structure, seems to be keeping her understanding to herself to avoid having to interact with her fellow students. The author may have intended to illustrate that it is not necessary to be visibly bright to be intelligent, and that those who think in a different manner are still valuable people and worth getting to know.
