L is for Library and Luna

A to Z Challenge - L

(10 April) I apologise in advance for the poor formating and spelling mistakes in this post.  I'm typing it on the iPad using the Blogger app which I have a love/hate relationship with.  It's my own fault for not scheduling these posts before I left home and now doing them in a rush at my brother's house before I fly out of the country.

L is for "We're in a library.  Books! Best weapons in the world!"

Today's quote comes from David Tennant's Scottish Episode.  I usually refer to it as "the warewolf" episode, but it's actually Tooth and Claw.  This was the episode that let David Tennant use his regular Scottish accent, rather than his (very good) fake British accent.  The episode where David Tennant no longer had to win over the viewing audience - we were already putty in his hands.  I wasn't a fan of the monster for this episode, but I loved the relationship that was developing between the Doctor and Rose, and the lady who played Queen Victoria was brilliant.  Plus, this quote just sums up why I love the Doctor: you don't need guns or swords or other things to beat the monsters - you need brains and cunning and cleverness.  Books truly are the best weapons in the world.

L is for Luna Lovegood

The quirky, individual, who-cares-what-anyone-thinks, rather blonde girl from Ravenclaw.  I say "rather blonde" because she does come across as daft at times however she is also extremely intuative and switched on and intellegent - because she's in Ravenclaw!  I really enjoyed Luna throughout the books and loved seeing her character develop as she gently guided Harry throughout the final 3 books.  In the movies she is simply perfect.  The daft vaguness comes across so well as does the perfect thought at the oportune moment to save the day.  

I stitched Luna wearing her lion head-dress as it was one of my favourite moments.  However Luna wore so many amazing outfits throughout the films that she earned her own cross stitch pattern, available from my Etsy store.

Happy Stitching!
