You know what. Luna Lovegood had to be a fat girl.

Because we needed more fat kids in that crowd. And it would work, because so many fat children have to resortto being alone, develop their interests in silence, and become their own best friends.

Luna dressed weird - or course she did, fashion industry does not cater well to fat children.

Luna didn’t really have friends for a long time - of course she doesn’t, so many fat kids grow up with no friends just because of how they look.

Luna was straight up bullied - fat kids are bullied a lot.

It just makes so much sense to me. Even Harry at first feels weird about just being around her, talking to her, although the whole Wizarding World seemed whacky to him since year 1 at school but suddenly this girl is definitely Loony. If you just imagine her being fat, so much of reactions to her fall into place, and her whole character is so much simpler (not as in a flat writing of a character), but it’s much more relatable.

I hate Luna being portrayed as this thin faerie like manic pixie girl. She was a fat kid, but Rowling is as fatphobic as the whole fandom.

I was a Luna in my school years, because I was fat and bullied. Every fat kid was a Luna to some extent.
