9 - Luna Lovegood
She was what got me really excited to see The Half-Blood Prince. Hermoine usually gets all the credit for being the cool female lead, but I prefer Luna instead. She's smart, since she's in Ravenclaw, but in that way that requires abstract thinking. It sort of makes her an oddball, but then consider just how odd everything is in the Potterverse. I'd say she adjusted quite well.
What really stands out about her is that she's pure. What you see with her is what you get. She's not weird because she's a rebel without a cause. She just is. She's being true to herself, and she's true to others. She trusts her friends and follows them when they have faith in their convictions. She could belong in Gryffindor because she's actually quite brave. It's just not as obvious.
But perhaps my favorite thing about Luna is that she's understanding and never really judges other people. It's something I strongly value in myself and others, and the world would be a better place if more people were like her.
