harry potter tricks his friend Ron into believing that he has drank a luck charm. This in turn makes him play the best quidditch he has ever played and also overcom his stage fright on the pitch. When it is revealed he has not had the luck potion at all, he can't compute the events of the day. Even the fair weather is attributed to the 'luck'.
Luck is therefore a state of mind. It is also something that people who do not possess any religious faith of any type use in order to understand why sometimes things go well and sometimes various things hit the proverbial fan.
It is a figment of our imagination, non-tangible, a perception. We can therefore make our own luck.

suzyboo: i wasn't actually presenting Ron and Harry as factual characters, I'm not even a Potter fan.
However, I am a literary genius, obviously, and was presenting these characters as a commentary on the human perceptions of 'luck'. Characters in fictitious books are often based upon real life qualities exhibited in the human race and are anthropological to whatever extent, EVEN if those characters are created by a mediocre, unimaginative writer such as the lesser spotted JKR, they can be endorsed as commentators none-the-less.
Also, to keep in essence with the question, when discussing a fictitious theme, such as luck (which is no more real than the great dumbledore himself), I chose to use a fictitious situation, a kind of extending analogy if you like. Almost a hypothesis; tag "Imagine someone made you believe you had drank a luck charm potion...how would that change you perception of your day?" onto the original answer.
