RED MOON FOR LIFE!

Video idea: what if Lupin killed Snape when Sirius sent him to the whomping willow as a prank?

I think it's funny how J's voice for Luna is so, so much deeper than his voice for any other character.

Maybe controversial, but I really like LunaxHarry. I really appreciated their trauma conversation at the end of book 5. She was the only one who made him feel better because she’s the only one who knew what it was like to lose a parental figure. And he takes her to Slughorn’s ball, “someone cool” he calls her in the movie.

It seems like Luna would have been great for anyone really. She is an awesome character. I always liked her and Neville. Her and Harry would have been great too.

I always thought Harry and Luna should have been together. And Luna has such a sad sad non scene in the books. When the Golden Trio visited the Lovegood's home, Harry discovered Luna's room with "Friends" painted in her room with pics of Harry, Ron, Neville, Ginny and Hermione in it. See the tragedy...not one single person from her own House is in it. I keep having this image of her sitting alone by the window reading the Quibbler while everyone else in Ravenclaw is avoiding her :(

It's a shame that Ron and Luna didn't interact more in Canon, but they definitely seem like a ship that had strong potential. Thanks for opening my eyes up to this pairing.

Ron and Luna together was by far my favourite part of the Harry in Slytherin series. Love this video. Also, it always made me sad that people complained about her Quidditch commentary, because she has my absolute favourite line of the whole series with "And Harry Potter's now having an argument with his Keeper, I don't think that'll help him find the Snitch, but maybe it's a clever ruse." Years later I still remember how hard I laughed the first time I read that line

The Lovegoods live near the Weasleys -- "just over the hedge/hill" or so? (Unsure of the quote, is it only in the movie?) Probably the nearest wizarding family to the Burrow. So it makes sense that Luna would already know the kids pretty well. Potentially they would have helped Luna and her father after Luna's mother's death -- "Ron, take this casserole over to the Lovegoods", etc. As such, Luna and Ginny would likely already be friends and Luna may have looked up to Ron already. Unless she didn't approve of how the Weasleys treat their garden gnomes of course.

Honestly the idea of basically everyone from Hogwarts marrying people they went to school with has always been a giant pet peeve of mine. One or two couples? Fine. But *everyone* ending up with like their childhood sweetheart? No wonder Snape was so caught up on this. Feels like Bill and Fleur are the only exception.

Luna was one of my favorite characters, and I often felt the most misunderstood and interesting. They create the notion that Ravenclaw is all about creativity and intelligence...and Luna doesn't seem like a match. Until you realize that she doesn't have the qualities of Ravenclaw but rather she is the creation Ravenclaw's strive to be. It's not what she does that makes her creative, it's who she is. She is an oddity that forces you to be creative to understand her.

One of the best things the movies added was Neville and Luna being a couple. It makes sense that the core six ended up with each other and any combination that doesn't place Ron with Ginny is fine by me.

I always rootes for Harry and Luna. 😳

I really felt like Harry and Luna should have been together. especially during order of the pheonix

Firstly, My personaly belief is that Harry should have ended up with Luna. Secondly, It seems farm more logical that Padma was complaining about Ron in the Ravenclaw common room than Luna approaching Padma to discuss Ron.

I really would have liked to have seen more of Harry refereeing between Hermione and Luna because they experienced life from diametrically opposed directions: the muggle-born Hermione's rationality versus full-wizard Luna's intuitional approach. Such a triangle could cause Harry to question his sanity!

It's funny. I've never been all that into shipping in this series, but during my last read-through of the series, I actually started to see something going on between *Harry* and Luna.

Fun fact: The first time the Lovegood’s are mentioned in the series is in the Goblet of Fire chapter titled “The Portkey” when Amos Diggory tells Arthur that the Lovegoods didn’t manage to get tickets to the Quidditch World Cup….. Which leads me to my thesis statement that the Lovegoods are none other than members of the Anti-Quidditch Association. Think about it….someone as wealthy and influential as Sir Xenophilius "Xeno" Lovegood, editor-in-chief of the hugely successful Quibbler news organization, didn’t manage to score tickets but the Weasleys scored almost a dozen tickets just because Arthur helped Bagmans brother with a cursed lawnmower, or whatever it was? Unless Arthur acted like the only way 2 discover the function of a rubber duck was inside Bagmans underwear, then it doesn’t sound like the tickets were too hard to acquire for Bagman. Make it make sense. The ONLY logical solution is the Lovegoods are notorious Quidditch Haters. Also, when Luna commentated on the Hogwarts Quidditch match, she clearly tried to sabotage the sport by commentating on anything but the match. And when she wore the lions head, it was also to distract spectators from the match. More eyes on her, less eyes on Quidditch. Also, explains her friendship with Harry and her seeking him out…she is attempting to pull the youngest Seeker in a century, from the sport. I don’t know, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink… Please my friends…drink up this information and be full of knowledge. Peace and love☮️✌🏼 *(this started as a joke, but I may have convinced even myself.)*

I had never considered Ron and Luna before. You present some good points for shipping them. I always thought that Harry and Luna should have ended up together.

Years ago when Luna was introduced in the books, my dad, said the exact same thing. Luna and Ron would have made a very interesting couple.

The most important thing about this pairing . Ron has the capacity to enjoy Luna's kind insanity, despite it being absurd he doesn't focus on it so much . Meanwhile, Ron has many insecurities but if there is one person that won't care about insecurities other people have, won't care about popularity, won't care about anything concerning other people, that's Luna. Luna obviously has a crush on him, and little did Ron know.. Luna was the perfect girl for him. If Ron and Luna were to get together, I would really like a scene in Bill and Fleur's wedding were Luna appears in the wedding and some people think she's as beautiful as Fleur (Luna isn't very pretty in the books since she never cares enough about appearances to try)

This is made for me, I’ve been saying this for so long, they complement each other’s flaws so well; fan pairings are so often chemistry-based, but these two I think are rooted in personal growth. I’m not sure I’d consider them a pair that would last, but I think if they were to get together they would at least part as much happier people. Edit: Don’t get me started on how much (book) Ron Mean-Spirited-Banter Weasley seems to like having Luna around, despite most other characters throwing pretty inconsiderate words her way when they interact with her. I could talk about these two all day man.

I've always thought the ships should've been: Harry/Hermione, Ron/Luna and Neville/Ginny. By the way, Ron most likely did know Luna, or at least knew of her, because they were neighbors. The Lovegoods were casually mentioned when the Diggorys, Weasleys, Harry and Hermione were gathering around the portkey to take them to the World Cup in GoF. (They'd been at the campsite for a week or 2 before the game).

I like the idea of the golden trio ending up being paired with the silver trio. The golden trio should’ve all just remained just friends.

Harry and Luna should have got together, they were both the outcasts and had a deep understanding of each other. Ron and Hermione are the classic "opposites attract"

Thank you thank you thank you! Everyone ships Luna-Neville and Luna-Harry, but this is the best match IMO. If Harry and Hermione are together, I also think Ginny would be really good with Neville.

I saw this pairing in a fan fiction once, and like you guys on my next listen of the books, I was shocked by how much sense it made.

I picked up on Luna having a thing for Ron several years ago and even wondered if part of Hermione's fiction for Luna was how obvious it is. I always assumed other people knew about it and just didn't speak on it because it's clear Ron would never be with her. I was happy to hear the moments you pointed out on Ron's side but I just do not see him actually going out with her. While he wants to stand out I just do not see him wanting to be thought of as weird. I could see him being embarrassed any time she talks about Nargles and she deserves better than a guy that is embarrassed by her. I prefer to think that Neville and Luna date for a while after the battle before parting amicable due to their career choices.

I actually shipped Ron and Luna the first time I read the books. This video delightfully brought me back. Red Moon for Life! I will say on the subject of Harry and Hermione. Yes, in the movies. No, in the books. It’s a bit of a double edged sword to me because I appreciate a platonic relationship between a guy and a girl.

I always thought that the way. Ron and Luna seemed to interact and connect early on when she's introduced Pointed towards a possible relationship between them that was changed.

I feel like this ship would have worked out a lot better for the plot. For one thing, Ron and Hermione are always fighting and even if you try to pass it off as romantic, it's just not. Next, I feel like Harry should have ended up with the person that he went through everything with, and shared so many moments with. Ginny could have then been with Neville

I liked Luna and Harry in the movies, although I think Luna already ended up with the perfect person in Newt Scamander's grandson.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="506">8:26</a> Im sorry J but considering the "faux pas" is against Luna's FATHER I don't blame Luna for overreacting. She's defending her father and family and tbh I'm the same way.

I'm 100% for Ron and Luna; also I prefer Harry and Ginny; personally I don't think any character that we were introduced to would be right for Hermione

I 100% agree with this theory and that they were being set up. I think it would have been better as Hermione and Harry would have gotten along due to their muggle upbringing, while Luna and Ron would have had similar magical backgrounds and also lived not far from each other. When I read how Luna genuinely laughed at Ron's jokes and how he genuinely loved her commentary of the quidditch match, I knew they should have gotten together.

Hey, that’s my pairing! Alongside Harry/Hermione and Neville/Ginny.

I totally picked up on their chemistry in the books. I didn't really care who he ended up with, but they would have been a good fit, healthy even.

Love your theories and the dedication and passion put into them 😊😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Hey brothers, I really appreciate all the work and dedication you put into these videos. Thank you for continuing to create great content and even branching out things other than Harry Potter but continuing to do Harry and all the trops coming along as new people discover this truly terrific series. Thank you!

Ron and Luna was one of my main ships like 15 years ago. (Still ship them but I've got other ships I'm more focused on now.) So when you mentioned the phrase "Red Moon" in the what-if videos I was like... that's the ship name! Did they do that on purpose?

I know some people are gonna hate me for this but I ship Hermione and Neville. Hermione was Neville’s first friend and vice versa Hermione was the only one looking for Trevor and Hermione and Neville always worked together in class and Hermione always helped Neville study and more. And when Neville first heard about the Yule ball the first person he asked was Hermione. Also I like Harry and Ginny in the books

I feel like I'm always in the Ron/Hermione boat. Real potential enemies to friends to lovers, but they're just balance opposites that compliment one another. But that aside I really liked the video ❤😂

Maybe Neville and Ginny? Then it would mean that the entire friendship group got together, assuming: Harry + Hermione and Ron + Luna

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="457">7:37</a> TBF Hermione was speaking poorly about Luna’s father’s work, and she always struck me as really protective of him.

Here's a love plot for you: Neville & Hermoine. Hermoine was one of the first to be nice to Neville, if not the first. Neville turns out to be a great dancer, and Hermoine loved dancing at the Yule Ball. Neville proved himself to be brave and a true Griffindor. So what if the line was this: 'Where are you going Neville?" :To find her, Hermoine, I've got to tell her I'm wild about her." Not impossible.

I have many a ships in Harry Potter, and I'll admit, this one didn't cross my mind, but I like it!

What an enlightening POV of the situations and interactions. Thanks for sharing your examples. I’m a ravenclaw btw. 🧙🏻‍♀️

You support my favorite ships and I LOVE IT!!! Also idea: Neville and Ginny, Dean and Seamus, Remus and Sirius

I have never agreed more with a statement more in my life, red moon forever

I have been saying this ever since i read the books. And then i think Hermione and George should have ended up together.

I love that J is repping Team Rocket, and gives Luna his best Snorlax/Slowbro voice.

Ok….J’s Luna Lovegood impression is…Just…Probably my favorite impression I have ever heard him do 😂😂

omg i need you guys to talk about dramione

Hey guys, I have a question, Couldn't the judges of Triwizard Tournament somehow keep Harry out of the tournament? Here is what I think could have been done, at each task Harry should just surrender somehow before even starting the task. For example, in the first task Harry could just say that he cannot get the golden egg OR else just stay inside the tent till the time gets over, that could have given him ZERO points. This is how the judges could ensure that Harry was out of the tournament, I mean this could be beforehand mutually decided and pre-planned among the judges and Harry. That's what I think, tell me what you think whether it is possible or not?

I wish you guys would make more Name of the Wind theory videos soon! I missed them sm 🥺🥺

This channel I swear to god is gonna keep me going in writing projects for life. I took up creative writing as a hobby during lockdown to stop my brain from turning to soup and since then I have always loved finding new things I can use to build a story from and these videos and this channel has given me plenty to work with.

When did SCB become a fanfic channel for teenagers?

See I've never been a harminoe fan because I love him and ginny together. As for this Idk I love how the movies put Luna and Neville together feels right

This was maybe the funniest video I've seen the channel do and personally, Red Moon sounds like a YA Harry Potter spin off.

Awesome as always guys thanks

I thought Harry and Luna fit better when I read the book.

I find your speculations, theories and analysis of the Harry Potter books well thought out and supported, intelligent and entertaining. Thanks! As usual you covered significant incidents that support the case for a Ron and Luna pairing. I would like to add one more argument to support your case. There are pertinent character traits of Ron and Luna that would contribute to a successful long term relationship for these two. Ron is not the most attentive or considerate partner. Luna is very self contained and Ron’s lack of attentiveness would probably not bother her. She may not even notice! Much of Hermione’s attraction to Ron is based on her concern and compassion for him playing second fiddle to Harry, his brothers and even Ginny. Despite being younger than Ron Ginny was more socially savvy than Ron and she was a consistently better Quidditch player. Hermione cared for house elves because of their second class citizenship. Hermione is compelled to defend and protect the underdog. Seeing your partner as an underdog does not, necessarily, make for a strong, long lasting marriage relationship as it is not based on equality. Hermione definitely perceives Ron as an underdog. She is always surprised when Ron proves competent or when he demonstrates compassion. I think Ron would have come to resent this perception (despite the accuracy) and I think Hermione would have, sooner or later, become irritated with Ron’s lack of attention, consideration and compassion. Yes, I know that during Deathly Hallows Ron showed greater attention and consideration for Hermione but this was a result of conscious effort on Ron’s part. In the long run I feel certain Ron would have reverted to his default character traits of greater self involvement and less recognition of the needs of others. These traits would find greater acceptance from Luna and result in a more equal, longer lasting and rewarding relationship for both Ron and Luna. Ginny and Neville would make a good couple. Neville became more Ginny’s equal after he slayed Nagini. I think Neville’s personality would easily accommodate Ginny’s independent spirit. Harry and Hermione make a more complete, strong and supportive pair.

Never really thought of this pairing too much but I do have to say it is intriguing. Not to mention they are close neighbors and parents already have connetion to be invited to Bill and Feuir's wedding, or Ron is naturally inclined into auclementsy ,which I don't remember if Luna is but seems up her alley. Food for thought, but it seems like a good experiment ❤

The Jurassic Park 3 "Won Won" was an excellent finishing touch 😂

I support this ship. It sucks that Neville and Luna didn't remain a thing, though. I halfway expected Hermione and Ron to split at some point tbh.

Nah, Luna and Ginny tho…. YES

Wolfstar video, bring it 🧡

You had me at "Red Moon" cuz that's adorable 🥰

Have you seen Evanna Lynch lately. If Luna looks anything like the actress that plays her every single boy at Hogwarts should want to date her. I mean she is gorgeous.

Thank you for this analysis! I think you are on point, and I definitely agree. I always thought the same when reading books. And I wish that such pairing did happen that way, including Harry ending up with Hermione. I'd love any other pairings/ships you would want to explore. In fact I'd love more HP content of any kind from you. I love all the HP vids you and Ben do. Keep up the awesome job you both have been doing already for years!

The thing Luna said to Ron about Patil at the Yule Ball, I made a similar hinting comment to my ex-GF before we were dating: She was talking about how her BF at the time mistreated her and I said: "Well, if it were me, I wouldn't do that!" And she did the laughing thing to me: I once made a very lame joke and she laughed loud enough to make the entire canteen look at her.

Luna and Nev would of been cute

Love you guys, your theories are canon imo, but on this and Harr-mione, you’re wrong.

Liked the video once the velociraptor was mentioned. Incredible editing!

There's also that one scene In the battle of the department of mysteries where Luna, Ginny and Ron get separated and get stuck in a room full of planets fighting death eaters. When Ron gets high, Luna calmly explains that she tried doing something about it and Ron calls her Loony and I don't think that any reaction on her part was specified (Unlike when she is first called Loony). I definitely thinks that means something.

Ok, so now I want to know who SCB ships Ginny with! I know Victor was briefly mentioned in "What If Harry Was In Slytherin?" but who else??

No there's no Spark between Luna and Ron. There was a spark between Harry and Luna.

I never even heard of the Red Moon thing and thats amazing. I absolutely love this idea. MAN, now this is some missed opportunity! Ah well i guess lol

I love the idea of the Red Moon!!! I'm not a fan of Harry/Hermione though. I think Hermione would have focused on work and found someone international while working at the ministry.

I thought, the first time I read OOTP, that it was setting up for Harry and Luna to be together… I was quite surprised by the whole Ginny thing in HBP after that. I LOVE that the movies put Luna and Neville together in the end, though!

😃I love this! I felt like she had a crush on Ron the first time I read the books. But I still personally think Luna and Harry had the most natural chemistry! I would've liked to see them together in the end.

The 'Won won!' voice when you see the velociraptor head is too good.

Love your videos

I like Ginny and Luna together! For the sapphics✨They’re already besties and they both give gay to me (Ginny and Harry give bi but still) Plus, Red Moon still works as their ship name lol

I've always been a big fan of Percy and Oliver as a couple. In the same house and year, both receiving many accolades from the school, annoyingly particular about their specific interests but ultimately charming, intensely dedicated to the point they're almost oblivious to anyone else around them, it's like they were made for a friends-to-lovers fanfiction.

I have always thought this but didn't realize it was an actual thing!

I definitely thought Ron/Luna was going to happen when I first read OotP, or at the very least that Luna's crush on Ron would be revealed at some point. I don't agree with all the points here but I do think they could be very sweet together.

omg can we finally do Dramione here on SCB? Although that’s more of a headcanon than actual canon hahah! Alternatively Draco and Harry have a lot of interactions 😂😉! Also also Wolfstar for the win! Do that as well! ❤️

This was great! I also am a big Har-Mione shipper and after this video, I agree that Ron and Luna would have been a good couple.

I'm convinced that SCB only does WHAT IF videos so that they can express their ships without being made fun of >) not that that's a bad thing, love this channel and the WHAT IF videos

I think the reason Luna laughed so hard at Ron’s joke on the train was to add depth to him telling her her sense of humor was rubbish when she says that Ravenclaw thinks Hagrid is a bit of a joke. She pauses and really thinks about it and I don’t think it happens if she doesn’t think he’s so funny at the beginning

Do you not hear what you said? I mean Hermione was insulting her father's life's work so she got defensive. But Ron was defending his friend which she respected

Honestly I kind of shipped them while reading the books (especially at the part mentioned at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="395">6:35</a>) except I knew Ron ended up with Hermione so I didn’t really put much thought into it

Wow you guys do awesome this one would be perfect

You guys always make my day with your videod😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤

I don’t think Luna should be Ron’s girlfriend, I think she should be mine 😂 🥲

Rolf Scamander and Luna Lovegood are meant to be together. Ron Wesley and Hermione Granger are meant to be together.

This was something I never have considered. Really cool!

Ben & J it pains my soul to no degree that you guys haven’t talked about WolfStar yet. It’s one of the most popular ships in the fandom! If you’re looking for more ships to do, you should definitely check that one out!!
