Do you lot think that everyone will eventually pair off in the end? i'm not sure if i really do myself, just wondering what you all thought of this....i do however think that most, if not all, of the gryfindor 6th years will pair up...i also think fred and george will too, but other than that i am not sure...

I hope everyone does, but I'm not sure... that would be pretty hard for Jo to find a partner for everyone. Not without causing a big controvercy with the fans who belong to a certain ship. Can you imagine the flaming??? *shudders*

Truly, I could see several people pairing up within the circle of Gryffindors, yet at the same time, I don't see everyone being paired up. Jk focuses mainly on the story of Harry and his adventures against Voldemort. She won't have the page space or time to make each ship plausible and known to Harry's perspective.

I don't think everyone will pair off. It doesn't happen in real life (all high school friends married to each other). I don't think Jo will make it happen in her world. Some will stay bachelor lifelong, some will still look for true happiness after a few failed marriages.

I agree, Muggleview. Not everyone will be paired off. But I do think that the main characters (Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny...) will. Besides, she's given us hints outside of the books like in interviews that really makes it obvious that she will put someone (or two... *cough*) with someone else.

Just to have enjoyable discussion: I've read many already put arguments that even Harry got married with someone, he can still:
- lose her in subsequent wars against the Dark power.
- get divorced because of incompatibility after there is no more need to fight the Dark power.

It's so different from the time when I was told that the Prince and Princess will live happily ever after, it means they will be grandfather and grandmother of many lovely grandchildren.

Back to the topic: Some of the teachers in Hogwarts have families, some not. Thus, in JK Rowling's world, not everyone gets hitched.

I personally think AT LEAST Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville, and Luna will, and most likly withen that six.

oh no I highly highly doubt JKR is going to spend her time finding a mate for EVERYONE. I even doubt whether there'll be romance for anyone outside the core six (as I call them) That's Harry, Hermione, Ron, Luna, Ginny and Neville. But Snape's gonna have a romance, Hagrid already does, so maybe a few people outside.

I hope not...

The symmetry would be too sickeningly neat, not to mention predictable. If most of the novel is spent paring them all up as though they are about to go off on the ark, then I don's see how J.K. would have time to right about, I dunno - dealing with Voldemort?

I think that she will only pair off certian people, and mabey even pair people who we wouldn't think of paired (Crabbe and Goyle)

We have seen that in the Weasley family, Bill was Head Boy and great student, but still single until now. Yes, we know Fleur made an effort to get close to him, but we don't know the result yet.
Charlie was a legendary Quidditch Seeker and Captain, but he is also single until now. Tonks, Remus, George Weasley are all without any serious romantic partners, and honestly we don't know for sure whether Angelina and Fred is a romantic couple or just a one-time Yule-Ball date. We can be assured that many characters will not enjoy colorful romantic life as Harry to have a Yule Ball date, a former girlfriend and a possible new girlfriend in near future.
Thus, at the end, some characters may be left wanting for lovers.

ok...i dont think everyone will because thats just too much for JKR especially that the last book will be all about Horcruxes and there wont be time for everyone but a few might

I don't think everyone will find true love but i can only dream.

I agree RonRocks06 (love the sig btw). It would be nice in an idealic kind of way if everyone found love and happiness in the end but as far as I can tell although the books are about magic and fantasy JK does try to mirror real life as much as possible and make the books relevant. Happily ever after almost never happens in real life.

If everyone paired off it would be to fake. I mean think about it, would everyone really get with their match, they could have a crush, but I doubt everyone would have a bf/gf. It would be great but really, not going to happen.

I think that every one but harry will pair off in the end well at lest everyone who is still alive by the end of it.The reson that i think that harry won't pair off is because i think he will die at the end of book 7 not that i want that to happen!!

somehow i doubt that JKR is really gonna focus on that.. i just cant imagine that she is.. her books are more adventures, then a love story for every single character...

i hope everyone pairs up.. but honestly i don't care who pairs up with whom. I cant even speculate.. its her story, if i don't like it i can still read hpffs ^^ so you know, there is no use of getting upset about it ^^ its just another exciting and unexpected twist in JKR's novels. Isn't that what we love about her books.. she always has a surprise for us..

i cant wait to see what happens

Like Ive always said...I think the Weasley twins will end up with the Patil twin. It just makes sence.

Gryffindor_Cheerleader88, just bacuse they are both twins doesn't mean they should be together.



Anyways I think the ships should go like this: Ron/Hermione, Harry/Ginny. Well, thats out of them main characters anyways.

Some of the character is Harry Potter will pair off. Some will not. Its just like in real life. Not everyone finds a mate.

i think it will be extremly hard to pair off everybody at this time but i beleive its possible
for some strange reason i dont think that harry will end up with a girl at the end of the series but i think that thats ok seeing that hes the hero and all.

Wouldn't it be funny if none of the Trio ended up with anyone? The books would end as the Trio being just three very, very good friends. Nothing more. Like I said, wouldn't it be funny? However, I doubt that JKR sees it quite that way.

There are times that I think that JKR is going to give us a OBHWF ending. There are other times that I think that Harry is destined not to survive, while at other times I think that one of his two best friends will "bite the dust"! As to which will die, well, it just depends on the weather!

i have a feeling that a lot of the characters that we know will be paired off, but like how other people have said...it would be pretty hard to pair off everyone

i do think that R/Hr and H/G will pair up, Remus/Tonks probably will, and i know this one is sort of random but i bet that the weasly twins will pair up with any one of the gryffindor chasers from the original team ( katie, alicia, and angelina)

I think Neville and Luna, Harry and Ginny ( dang it ), Ron and Hermione ( dang it ) , Hagrid and Madame Maxime, Tonks and Lupin.. and I dunno what else. hehe.

I think Ron and Hermione (yay!) and Ginny and Harry (yay!) will pair up if they all don't die. But I think that one of the Weasley twins, or both, could be singal their whole lives. Or Charile, has that guy ever had a girl friend? But for R/Hr and G/H, their romantic fates seem pretty much set.

I don't think romance is going to be the focus (or even a major one) for book 7 - there is just far too much going on for that to be the focus. I do think that we will see more of what has already been shown - Bill/Fleur and Remus/Tonks.

We will definetly see the climax of the Hermione/Ron relationship - that just has to happen, doesn't it? The sad thing (for me, as a 'shipper at least), is I don't think we will have enough time to focus on that!

As for "pairing everyone off", that just irks me generally (along with "OBHWF" ), because it is cliche. Not everyone gets "paired off" in life, so despite this being "fiction", I don't think JKR needs to go 'shipping everyone - that's what fandom and fanfiction are for!

I think that a few people will pair off but not everyone

Harry: Ginny
Ron: Hermione
Luna: Neville
Hagrid: Maxime
Tonks: Lupin
Fluer: Bill
Mcgonnagal: Flitwick!
There will probably more but I see the first 6 coming to be!

no they wont, OK here is who i think will be paired together

ron/hermione
harry/ginny
lupin/tonks
bill/flur
McGonagal loved Dumbledore
hagred/maxime
luna/nevil (I wish! JKR said that they wouldn't)
fred/pavarti
gorge /padma
malfoy/ some one new

It's opinion, Hermione_G, don't bash The Seventh Horcrux's.

The Patil twins with Fred and George? I have to say I never thought of that. I personally don't think that everyone will pair off, the Harry Potter series isn't all about romance, though I'm sure we'd like it to be.

Personally, I don't think it fits with Harry Potter as a series or real life for everyone to pair off. Not everyone is meant to be with someone else, and I think we all know that.

I do not think Harry should have a partner. He has been separated from the people he loves over and over again, and it is his fate to be alone. I just don't think that Harry is meant to be with someone. At least not forever. Maybe it's sad and depressing, but if you really think about the books, which parts are truly happy?

Sure, there are bound to be couples here and there, and I support the ones that work. But having every character pair off isn't ideal. The Patils and the Weasleys would be so cliche. Plus, I prefer Fred and Angelina myself. I can't see any Hogwarts teacher romances either. Especially not with someone as cold as McGonagall. And especially not with Dumbledore. I think she would have been even more torn up if she did love him. I also don't think Malfoy is going to end up with anyone unless he has a character transformation. He is too cold hearted and self-centered to lvoe anyone but himself, and he would not make a good partner.

There are others...Neville, Hagrid, Luna, Seamus, Alicia, Pansy, Lupin, Tonks, and anyone else but not all of them will have a partner. It just doesn't work.

It actually would be quite simple to pair everyone off, and even have R/Hr--as long as N/G and H/L happened. But sadly, I think JK is going to throw H/G back together (as cheesy and cliched as that would be), or worse Ginny is going to be killed by LV and Harry's supposed "love" for her will allow him to defeat LV despite the fact that he doesn't know any spells he can work that would allow him to do so. In which case, since JK has already ruled out N/L, Neville will be alone and loveless, as will Luna! Poor Neville and Luna, I like their characters so much, they deserve to have some love in their lives.

So while it wouldn't be hard at all to do so for the main six (I do think it'd be ridiculous if EVERYONE got paired off, even R/T in the context of HBP was a little much for me), and it could even be done in a realistic manner--JK just doesn't want to do it.

I hope DH isn't too focused on romance though, b/c HBP was bad enough.....JK writes some pretty great books, but romance is not her strongpoint (not to disrespect her--she's only human, we all have weaknesses. But that's just hers).

Like they have been saying it would be imposible for J.K Rowling to pair everyone off, but I think that Ron and Hermione will end up together, and Harry and Ginny (if they live), because she set those four up to make the perfect couples during the first six books, but that is just my opinion
SEE YALL

I see a few possible pairs but not everyone will have a pair. Who would LUna go with? Or Neville? Maybe with each other actually. Umm thats just not realistic. That does not happen in real life. Everyone may pair off in later life but definitely not in Book 7.

~Fleur

No, I don't think everyone will pair off. Jo will definitely show us the important relationships that she has layed the base for, but there are more important things than romance in the book and if everyone were to pair off, it would take half of the book to go through all of that.

Some coples:
Harry and Hermione( it have to be them).
Ron and Fleur`s little sister
Neville and Luna
Colin and Ginny
Mcgonnagol and Dumbledore.
Tonks and Lupin.


This are just teories!

I think these will be the Book 7 couples:

Harry and Ginny ( )
Lupin and Tonks
Ron and Hermionie ( )

And probably some others that I can't think of right now.

Don't kill me for these theories!!!!

Well, I am of two minds. The Romantic in me wants everyone to pair up in the end, but the logical side of me tells me this isn't going to happen, even by a long-shot. I think things already foreshadowed definitely - i.e., Remus and Tonks, Bill and Fleur, and possibly Hagrid and Madame Maxime (less likely, especially if one or both of them die) - to happen in the end. Also, I think a few teacher relationships will be revealed, such as McGonagall and Flitwick and the already seemingly apparent Pince and Filtch relationship.

As far as main characters and secondary characters go, I say the chances are much slimmer. People like Snape, as much as I'd like it, probably won't wind up with anyone. Even Ginny, Neville and Luna have grim futures as the three main secondary characters to the trio. Ron and Hermione have more a chance to find someone for them, but I also think it likely that one or both may die. The titular character, Harry, has one of two options: die or find someone. It's a simple hero story, and so he either dies in the process of saving everyone or finds the happy-ending, romantic love of his life at the end. However, given how J. K. Rowling tries to parallel the story to the real world, I think it highly probable that nothing will happen.

At most, I expect a few of the main and secondary characters to have hints of a permanent relationship at the end of the series (ideally all six of them with one another... see my signature if you want to know), but I do not, in any way, see it as essential to the series for it to end with pairs. I am expecting hints of the future, at best, for the end, and almost definite hints at that.

Easy. Luna would go with Harry, and Neville would go with Ginny! Or Luna could go with Ron, Harry with Hermione, and Neville with Ginny again. It's possible, but not probably based on JK seeming to want to pair up Harry with his factory-made Mary Sue Weasley. If nto for H/G, everyoen could be paired off. But instead, poor Luna and Neville will just be lonely....

And yes, there are more important things than romance--but JK already contradicted that idea with her over-emphasis on romantic "Sweet Valley Hogwarts" angst in HBP, so that it consumed the plot...

well...JK rowlings aleady said there will be no neville/Luna....so I'm guessing...and hoping for Harry/Hermione, Ron/ Luna and Ginny/Neville perhaps..

I don't think everyone will pair off but I do think that most of them will. I think that Draco doesn't really have anyone. I know he kind of has Pansy but I don't that was really meant to last. Besides Draco what about Crabbe and Goyle? Who would they end up with? As far as Harry and all, I think they will since they are the "good guys" and everyone wants a happy ending.
