Harry Potter concordance?

[boxofdelights]

I want to get a handle on Luna Lovegood's voice. It would be useful to have a list of every location in the books where she speaks, or everywhere she appears, or even just everywhere her name appears. Has anyone out there on the internets made such a list?

Not that I'm aware of -- and the attempt to publish a pro concordance got quashed by JKR and company in court. I usually go to the Harry Potter Wiki when I have questions, but I checked there and while they have a lot of info, it doesn't include specific text citations/locations within the various volumes.

Only thing I can think of would be to acquire the three ebooks in which she appears (OotP, HBP, and DH) and search on her name. Sorry I'm not more helpful.

Thank you for checking!

I do not know of one, but I am just about to the point where she appears. I could start making one if you do not learn of another.

And now I have arrived. Chapter 10, Order of the Pheonix "Luna Lovegood".

That is so kind! I will appreciate any information you gather.

Page 168 of British Edition, first appearance.

"Yes," said Luna dreamily, without taking her eyes off Harry. "Yes, it was quite enjoyable, you know." You're Harry Potter," she added.

In response to Ginny saying she is Ravenclaw.
'Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure,' said Luna in a singsong voice.

Shall I keep posting Luna sightings here or just make a locked entry on my dreamwidth?

Whichever is more convenient for you? I will find them either way. But maybe you don't want to clutter your friends' reading pages?

I don't have a list, but I do have searchable electronic copies of the books for just such a purpose. Happy to share them if you want a copy.

I would very much appreciate borrowing the books Luna appears in, if you don't mind.

Not a problem. I think they're small enough files to email. If you want to let me know your email address here or drop me a line at atdelphi@gmail.com, I'll send them along.

I did send these along the other day. They might have landed in your spam folder because of the size, so let me know if you didn't get them. :-)
