"People expect you to have cooler friends than us," said Luna, once again displaying her knack for embarrassing honesty. "You are cool," said Harry shortly. "None of them was at the Ministry. They didn't fight with me." "That's a very nice thing to say," beamed Luna. --Half-Blood Prince |

Welcome to Just As Sane As I Am, one of the first fansites devoted to that kooky yet fantastically badass pairing, be it their beautiful friendship or a possible romance, of Harry James Potter and Luna Lovegood from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter book series, portrayed respectively in the film adaptations by Daniel Radcliffe and Evanna Lynch.
Visitors from all corners of fandom are welcome - until you start bashing, at which point Luna feeds you to her pet Snorkacks. ;) (Who's to say they're not carnivorous?)

Good to know there're still a few of you out there. ;)
At last, we have a picture from the Slug Date! Not the best quality, but it's great to have a visual at last. :)
More to come soon! :)

Well, hello! Anyone still out there? :) Let's see if I can make this a regular habit again (updating, not letting things slide for four months)...
More to come soon! :)

Truly bizarre... we have a new HP movie coming out in four months, but where are the bulk of the "new" pictures coming from? The last film. Eh. Take what you can get, I guess!
More to come soon! :)

At long last... a Luna HBP pic! :D And what a pic it is... check out those Spectrespecs!
New graphics to come soon. :)

Sure, all the new high-res OotP shots coming out lately are great - but more HBP ones would be greater! I think we've been more than patient in that regard... there is word of a possible HBP trailer attached to Get Smart, which comes out on June 20. We'll see!
Still tooling on the new layout. :)

Sorry about the long silence and the unexpected downtime! Hopefully that won't happen again. ;) This update:
Working on a new layout for the site! I've been hesitant before now because I know the moment I put one together we'll get deluged with new HBP pics to use, but... I think I've waited long enough. :)

Back! :) Since the last update we got the news of Deathly Hallows being split into two films. The upside to that: more Luna and H/L scenes to come! Since DH had so many incredible H/L moments, I'm happy more of them are likely to be included now. And not just because of the extra Photoshop/fanvid material it'll provide. ;) Anyway...

We all remember how nuts we went over this pic, right? Hard to believe it was a year ago - last Valentine's Day - that this first glimpse at the prospect of H/L handholdage first reduced us to spoogy pools of shippery glee and sent Photoshops cranking like mad across the world. Happy V-Day! :)

Hola! Here's a semi-sizable update to tide you over through Valentine's Day. Though I might actually throw together a quick one in on the 14th.

Belated Happy New Year, Loonies! Sorry about that site outage earlier this month - yours truly flubbed up her domain renewal.
I've finally gotten started capping the OotP DVD - it took me a while to find a program I liked that would let me take caps off my Mac. :-P I've cut straight to the H/L goodness, starting off by capping Luna's first scene. Which includes:
To Harry's image galleries I've also added:
And last but not least, I've added a high-res full-length version of a nice old Luna OotP promo image to her galleries.
The DVD caps are all pretty high-res as well... and yeah, the DVD timer does show up in all of them, but since it's in the black part of the caps and therefore doesn't block anything, I just let them be. ;) Thanks to DR.com for the high-res Harry OotP promos!

December 11, 2007
Anyone still out there? Give a little hi or wave on the tag-board if you are. :)
Sorry for the lack of updates! Didn't mean to let this site slide, but then again, judging from the number of submissions lately, that hasn't bothered too many out there. I'm hoping that the HBP film - at the very least, the prospect of seeing Harry and Luna's date onscreen and Evanna rockin' that awesome silver gown - will re-energize the ship. I know not everyone just gave up on this ship after the Epilogue of Doom!
Starting this month I'm going to upload screencaptures from the OotP DVD, focusing largely on Luna and H/L at the beginning. I'm also going to start making good on my earlier intention of actively hunting down awesome H/L fics and graphics goodies to archive here. There's so much out there that this site hasn't even begun to touch. And, hopefully very soon, we'll get our first glimpses of Luna in the HBP film.
As always, if you have submissions, or know of something that you'd love to see archived here - drop me a line at saneasiam@yahoo.com! I definitely would love to keep this outpost of H/L goodness alive and going. :) I'd love to see a few more entries for the Graphics Challenge, too.
Thanks, and watch out for the nargles this season! ;)

Mostly a fan media update this go-around...hopefully sometime in the next couple of months we'll start seeing early pictures from HBP.
Thanks again to all who contributed! :)

One would think with OotP long since been released, there wouldn't be much in the way of image updates anymore. Apparently not! Right after I last updated, a whole slew of high-quality OotP stills came out! Some of them brand-new, some of them higher-quality versions of pics we'd seen before. Either way, plenty of great graphics/artwork fodder. ;)
Speaking of which... since we're no longer running in short supply on H/L-related images, I've finally decided to open up the JASAIA Graphics Challenge! Take a look, and get those Photoshop sessions burnin'. ;) Anyhoo, additions:
Also, updated the material in the Quibbler Spotlight. :)

And the birthdays continue... happy belated (since it's now August 17th in Ireland) 16th to our wonderful Luna, Evanna Lynch! :)
Lots of new additions today, as I finally clean out my email inbox... even now, it's very possible I've still missed something.
Keep the Loony love coming, guys! *g*

Let's just get straight to the new goods, shall we?
More to come later this weekend... I'm just too tired to get it all up now. ;)
Happy belated birthday to Dan Radcliffe (July 23), and to Harry and JKR (July 31)! :)

Well, it appears I was right: H/G hooked up and had their L/J clone kids in Deathly Hallows (literally)... and H/L still kicks ass! :) So many beautiful H/L moments, and it was a great book for Luna as a character. The ban on spoilers has been lifted, so post to your heart's content.
Small update tonight - just corrected and completed the H/L OotP film quotes section.
I'm working on getting together some screencaps from OotP, so watch for those soon. :) Also, I'm still looking for you guys' reviews of H/L in the OotP film - and soon I'll also have up a section for your reviews of H/L in TDH as well.
Post-Deathly Hallows canon is here, guys... and we're stronger than ever! :-D

July 14, 2007
Welcome to the new layout! Figured now was the perfect time for a new beginning, what with the wonderful Loony-ness of the OotP film and the impending release of Deathly Hallows. That, and once DH is released, fandom is going to be completely upended no matter how the book turns out, so best to get it done now before everything explodes. ;)
And yes, regardless of what unfolds in DH, this site will still be here. :) Even if Harry reunites with Ginny and has a dozen disgustingly cute Lily-and-James-clone-children, H/L will still be as infinitely awesome as it was before. Maybe more so.
My main goal with this update was to get the new layout up and running, but there are a couple of new things:
More content to come soon! :)

Regardless of how Deathly Hallows turns out - 2007 has been a great time to be a H/L fan!

Thanks to ootpmoviepics for many of the pictures in this update. :)
Less than two weeks to go! :D Stay tuned for some changes to the site closer to mid-July...

And the goodness just keeps coming! This film almost can't come soon enough. :)
Updates for today: Four wallpapers: two Harry, one Luna, and one H/L. Five icons: two H/L, two Luna, and one Harry by me; two YouTube fan video links. Added lots more OotP pics, many of them from the new trailers: 29 Harry (18 high-res, six promo, four stills, 1 screencap); three Luna (one high-res and two stills), and five H/L high-res. Updated the Links section to include the current H/L SCUSA thread. Also added a couple of quotes from OotP screenwriter Michael Goldenberg to the H/L film quotes page. Also, updated Luna's bio to include the new info on her Patronus from the OotP film.
My free time's going to be even more drained in the immediate future since I'm now putting in 50+ hour weeks at work, but I will still try to make time for updates. Sometime soon, I'm also going to start soliciting submissions from some of my favorite H/L artists and authors to add to the site.

Great time to be a H/L fan, isn't it? :)
Updates for today: Two H/L wallpapers and eight H/L icons by me (here, here); one fan video (thanks to Hanna). Added 13 OotP Harry images (one still and 12 high-res); one Luna OotP high-res; one H/L OotP high-res. Updated the Links section to include the current H/L SCUSA thread.
And last but not least, welcome to Brilliant Bookworm as JASAIA's latest affiliate! :)

By now I'm sure most of you have heard about/read the reviews of the OotP test screenings... and our girl is getting rave reviews! Regardless of how canon unfolds in DH, Luna and H/L fans appear to be in for a huge treat with film!OotP. :)
Updates for today: Three new pieces of H/L fan art by Ivy Riddle; 2 H/L and 2 Hr/H/L icons by me (here, here); one "How Did You Become a H/L Shipper?" story (thanks to Ivy again). Finally added THE pic to the H/L OotP stills gallery. Also two new fics - one by me, the other thanks to Luciano. :) Updated the Links section to include the current H/L SCUSA thread.
EDIT: Whoops! Somehow I deleted the February 11 update from this page. Oh well.

Sorry for the lag between updates!
Updates for today: One new wallpaper; one new H/L film quote (transcribed from Dan's new interview thanks to a-p); several new songs to the H/L soundtrack (thanks to Ivy); one "How Did You Become a H/L Shipper?" story (thanks to Cari).
I've downloaded a higher-resolution copy of the Luna-centric ABC Family video from last month; caps and more to come soon! If you've submitted something and don't see it in this update, check back next time. :)

Updates for tonight: Two more Luna behind the scenes caps from that ABC special, three more fan fictions (thanks again to Goldy), three beautiful fan arts (thanks to Rainmaker135, H-Johanna, and greendesire for allowing their work to be hosted here - and to Seventh of LoonyLions for volunteering to track down the pieces!), and six H/L icons (five here and one here) by me. And last but not least, welcome to JASAIA's newest affiliate, Awkward, a new and lovely site devoted to the Neville/Luna ship. :)
Also, I'm seeking help compiling Harry- and/or Luna-related quotes for the Harry, Luna, and Potty Loves Loony sections - I'm going to tackle those sections myself eventually, but (especially in the case of Harry) there's quite a lot of canon/film to sort through to find good quotes, so any contributions in this area certainly won't be turned down. ;) Though the quotes don't have to be from canon - if you think of quotes either JKR or someone involved in the films has about the characters, that's great too.
More to come soon, including further additions to the H/L soundtrack and the "How Did You Become A H/L Shipper?" section. Thanks for the continued support of this site, everyone! :)

I know I should space out my updates, but tonight was such a nice one for our ship that I just couldn't wait. ;)
Updates for tonight: 12 new H/L behind-the-scenes caps, 19 new Luna ones, and two "Actors" quotes added to the H/L film quotes page. Hopefully better quality versions of that video will show up online soon, so we can have nicer caps, but these'll do for now.
Enjoy! More to come in a few days, including icons. :)

December 2, 2006
Updates for today: Four new fan fictions (thanks to Goldy) and two songs added to the H/L Soundtrack.
There's another OotP behind the scenes special on ABC Family tonight - hopefully there'll be some new Luna or H/L material from it.
More to come in a few days! :) Also, if anyone would like to be an affiliate (or has anything else to share on the site), just let me know.
EDIT 10:28 PM: Spoke too soon! Check out part two of the ABC special here on HPANA, the one about Luna - some wonderful H/L tidbits there, including Dan and Evanna speaking about Harry and Luna's connection! Caps to come as soon as I can make them.

JASAIS is in serious need of fan art and fan fiction submissions! If you have any, or know of any you think would be a good fit for this site, please lay them on me! :) I'm keeping an eye out and will be doing some soliciting myself, but there is still definitely a need for submissions.
Updates for tonight: 10 new H/L icons by me (9 here and 1 here) from those new HBO caps; 1 new Luna icon by me; one "How Did You Become a H/L Shipper?" story; one addition to the H/L Soundtrack; two additions to the Parallel Couples page. Also, one H/L film quote added, thanks to the HBO Behind the Scenes promo from last week. It's brief, but dangit, it is a H/L moment. :)
Again, let's keep the submissions coming in! :) I hope any Americans out there had a lovely Thanksgiving.

November 21, 2006
Thanks for the positive response on the site, everyone! :)
Updates for tonight: four new fan fictions (big thanks to Ladyknyght and Smichiko), and I've got the Luna and Harry/Luna image galleries up and running; both include caps I've made from the fantastic OotP behind the scenes special they aired this week. (A note on my Harry image galleries: since I run another Harry shipper site, not all the non-H/L Harry pictures I have are in his individual gallery; there are quite a few in the H/Hr gallery... apologies to anyone out there who can't stand the ship - just pretend it's another Harry gallery, or a Trio gallery, or something. ;))
There's more to come, but I'm dead tired, so this is it for now.
Thanks again, and let's keep the submissions coming in! :)

Welcome to the official opening of Just as Sane as I Am! I started
this site because there really didn't seem to be a "real" Harry/Luna
site out there - the one lovely one I do know of out there (Anything But
Ordinary) seems to have disappeared, and while the ship has a number of
discussion boards and LiveJournal communities, I wanted there to be a fan shrine
out there to what's become probably my favorite ship in the HP 'verse.
As you can see, there's - naturally - not a whole lot here yet, but I'm hoping that will change with time, particularly with the looming on-screen debut of our favorite eccentric Ravenclaw. Take a look around, and, if you have something Harry- and/or Luna-related to add, by all means, send it in! It will be more than appreciated. :)
