Did I misread this relationship in OOTP?

CNN.com had a small story posted on 2/3/06 titled "Filming on fifth
Harry Potter movie to begin next week in Britain".

It's nice to know that they are finally starting!  (Can't wait for it
to be released!!!)

However, one line stated "Potter also wrestles with his attraction to
new character Luna Lovegood, a role taken by 14-year-old newcomer
Evanna Lynch."

When I read OOTP (which I reread after seeing GOF day 2 of release), I
did NOT get the impression that Harry was *attracted* to Luna.  Did I
misread this?  I thought that, at best, he felt some affinity for Luna
as they were both "outcasts" at Hogwarts.  

Am I wrong?  I hope that they are not writing this into the script!  I
have nothing against Luna, but she is NOT the match for Harry (as is
supported for fans of Harry/Ginny).

Thank you for your help!
