Why exactly should I advise anyone to read the books dementor, what are they supposed to understand after that? That it's R/Hr? Well, I've read all the books, many times, and I still prefer and believe in Harry and Hermione. Not everyone who reads the books is R/Hr, so me suggesting that my friends do so is like saying that their opinions are incorrect and they will change their minds after reading the books.
I think it's strange that you are posting on the H/Hr board rather than the R/Hr or anti H/Hr, no?

lol....i didnt mean that they turn away form H/Hr ship and im not aying im against this ship either...i respect your opinions and everyone else and i just said that advise thing as a comment and its not something im forcing you to do....i didnt mean no offence and everyone has their opinions..and many people have read the books but still want Harry/Hermione so it doesnt turn people against that ship if they read it....just a comment and my opinion...and i wouldnt mind this ship happening

Yeah, be careful here, guys

People tend to get a tad defensive over this ship, quite understandably, because it's the one that's taken most of the flack over the past few months and this thread is an oasis for them - you need to be really careful that comments don't edge towards R/Hr because it's liable to lead to disagreements.

Well yeah, that's pretty much the way it is. This is H/Hr only - if you don't support it, don't post. This is not a discussion thread - it's a supporters one, as the title says.
It's not that the R/Hr's are unwelcome, it's just that they're not likely to be paid too much attention

Until they start getting rude and obnoxious, in which case they get a kicking from me or one of the other mods.

OMG i love the whole harry/hermy thing! i know this will sound very evil, depressing, and many of you will try to get me to marry voldemort for this, but this would be so...well...cant really explain, just read:
OK, harry ron and hermione set off to try and find the horcruxes, but then, they get seperated, and harry and hermione find each other, and 3 days later, they find ron's lifeless body. then the truth comes out: about how hermy was just pretending to like ron all these years to distract herself from who she was really in love with: harry. they do the whole in love lovers thing ect ect. and then they both either die in some way, together forever, or they both live, but with some kind of emotional pain they must bear together for the rest of thier lives...
ah...i how i love horror/romance stories.

I agree with *dementor*. It would be very sad if Ron dies. He's Harry's best friends anyway. Harry and Hermione would be totally helpless and they might commit suicide!!!! I thought JK likes surprising plots. Maybe Hermione and Harry would end up together in another way...

Well I've been gone for a while but here I am again coming to defend our dying ship.
Let's look at what's happening here. Some may say all hope is lost after reading HBP but I say this is only the beginning of our ship.
Harry and Ginny are over. Broken up. Dunzo! We don't need to be worrying about H/G happening. It's obviously over. This leaves Harry single and looking
Ron and Hermione are NOT together. After all the drama between them in HBP they still aren't together and let's face it: this isn't going to work either. Despite what JKR says, I truely believe that these two will not be together. If they haven't stopped their immature bickering after all this time, they aren't ever going to stop it and this will keep them from being together. This leaves Hermione single and looking
Now I believe in the 7th and final book, Hermy and Harry are going to finally acknowledge their true feelings for one another. Of course, this may be wishful thinking but I honestly believe JKR is going to surprise all those delusional R/H shippers and finally show us that we were right all along. Beware R/H shippers.... our day is coming

Hai H/Hr shippers,
I came across one Q/A in JKR's official website FAQ section. Here it is:
Q: Do you like Half Blood Prince Book?
JKR: I like it better than I liked Goblet,Phonix or Chamber when I finished them. Book six does what I wanted it to do and even if nobody else likes it (and some won't), I know it will remain one of my favourites of the series. Ultimately you have to please yourself before you please anyone else.
I think JKR wanted to make the readers to believe that Dumbledore is dead,Snape is evil and H/Hr is not going to happen.That book does it. Isn't? Most of the readers now believed these things. But I think JKR is going to change everything in next book and surprise the readers.
By the way, I could not find the newly created FAQ poll in that site. Can any one help me?

Lupin, thank you for posting that! I think this just sums up all my thoughts and beliefs on H/Hr. if you ask a R/Hr or H/G shipper, they will tell you that it's over and that R/Hr is canon.... but we know there is still one book left! They so easily forget that. They forget about the last book which is going to change everything.

Sorry Lupin, but I am going to have to play Devil's Advocate.
I think what JKR is saying is that she had to please herself by writing HBP the way she did, at the expense that some of her readers wouldn't like it. (I for one did NOT like HBP.) But, I have always sensed that Dumbledore did NOT die, that Snape is not evil, and that there will be redemption for Draco. Also, that Harry will not reunite with Ginny and that Ron and Hermione will never become a couple, because Harry and Hermione are destined to be together. These are my hopes and dreams.
So, why do I get the feeling that JKR wanted Dumbledore actually dead, Snape actually betray and murder Dumbledore and Draco turn evil? Could it be she wants Harry to reunite with his 'ideal' girl and Ron and Hermione to finally become a couple in her last book? Could OBHWF be what pleases her?
This is how I interpret this particular quote. How I wish otherwise!

Dumbledore's widow,
There is no need to feel sorry for deneying (sp) my interpretation. Like JKR's story, her interviews are also have diiferent views. But we can hope that our dreams will come true. What i think is still possibilities are there for our ship.
And I don't think JKR wanted to end up Harry and Ginny in the end. Because she told in that infamous interview(TLC/Mugglenet) that she knew from the beginning that Harry and Ginny would come together in book 6 and then parted.If she wanted them to end up together she would have made Ginny's character some more better in the previous books. So let us hope. I am an optimistic.

There are times when I wish that the Powers-that-be at Warner Bros. "buy out" JKR and write the scripts that have Harry and Hermione getting together romantically. The movies have done a great job of H/Hr to date, but HBP is going to be challenging. The movie-goers who have NEVER read the HP books are going to be confused when they watch H/G kissing that's for sure. They'll probably even hiss and boo at that scene! So, if the movies turn out to be H/Hr, and not the novels, then I say, "So be it!" I'll just have the movie DVDs on my book shelves instead of the HP novels. I'll gladly donate my HP novels to my local library! |
The topic may have moved on from this but I just needed to say my two cents.
Maybe, perhaps this is the delusional side of me, JKR was thinking in the movie sense when she did the whole h/g kiss. I mean when I read that, I immediately did a flashback to all those romance movies I've watched where the leadingly guy/gal kisses someone else infront of the person they're supposed to end up with at the end of two hours. The whole setting up of the kiss reeked slow-motion, cheesy (and slightly moment of doom) background music.
And I was thinking that if I, a less-than-passionate movie buff, can spot the red-herring, the avarage movie goer is going to automatically assume that the entire purpose of the scene was to set up some Hermione-angst. If JKR was sincere about H/G being the real deal, why throw in the bone a book too soon? Everyone knows that nothing gets made official till the end. It happened in a way that had it been Hermione Harry had kissed, I would be more scared for our ship. And more to the point why write it in a way that story writers and script writers are encouraged to do the whole slow-mo/cheesy/angst-buildup kiss?
The loyal H/Hr shipper in me hopes that JKR is dropping a hint to the writers as to how to angle the H/G romance. After all, if there's a two year interval between HBP and the release of BK7, filming for HBP would already have been in production.
Runes
Jan 7 2006, 03:29 PM
I agree with Krisharose, that particular moment in HBP was totally a movie-type moment. I was even picturing that kiss as if watching it on screen, and ewwww, major cheese!
I also agree that it doesn't make sense to show us the REAL pairings in book six as it would give us too many clues as to the last book and I highly doubt JK wants anyone to figure it out. If we're supposed to believe that any romance from HBP is to continue in book seven, then why break up H/G and why is R/Hr still not ...well, they're just not.
I have a feeling that we're all in for some twists and turns, as per usual, with book seven. And I believe that there's something more in store for our Harry and Hermione, it would follow with their ever progressing relationship.

Really, James Pickles, you need to admit that you really are for H/G. It's pretty obvious not only from the way you word your posts but, from your signature as well. Why would you say that in the movies H/Hr go together, but not in the novels? The movies follow the books. Of course, I'm sure that the chemistry between Dan and Emma can't be helped. The sparks are there. However, people who ship H/Hr ship them together in both the books and the movies. Also, I'm sure that most people who ship H/G ship them together in the books as well as in the movies. Like Runes said, "sounds like you knew that it might upset people", after all this is a pro-H/Hr shipping thread.

Alright, look, this is the situation...when you're not 100%, fully, utterly, undyingly committed to H/Hr in both the movies and the books, then you're liable to get pounced on in this thread. I don't understand why people even post here when they know they're going to get jumped on. *sigh* The simple fact is that if you're not for this ship, then you really shouldn't be posting. There are R/Hr threads and H/G threads you can contribute to or, conversely, the Venom threads for you to rant in. But leave this one little haven for the H/Hr's alone, okay?
James and dementor - really, I don't think the above category applies to either of you so if all you're going to do is come here and wind people up, I think it's safer for everyone if you just don't post at all.
Okay - please, everyone, just let this go and move on.

5) ron and voldemort die
6) Jo was trying to trick us all the way

8) hermione gives him a big hint to defeat voldemort

thats all i can think of for now!

So if I see one more anti H/Hr or vaguely H/G or R/Hr post in here, I'll be forced to take action against the offending parties. I've been patient and I've been fair, but I really have better things to do that quarrel about minutiae.

TheHarryinMe
Jan 9 2006, 05:32 AM
I'm back... And extremely confused...
Okay, from what I can discern, we're on to the movies with reference to the books... I think...
Here's what I say:
Let the movies be the movies. The books, the books. What is evident is that there is quite a bit of inconclusiveness (what a
long word...) at the end of book six to just jump to conclusions about ships. Personally, there seems to be a grand set-up for the finale of the books, and I doubt J. K. Rowling wants to spoil it; so leaving Harry and Ginny broken up while Ron and Hermione are just flat leaves a good possibility for a surprise. It would not only be typical, but perfect for a finale. Hence, Harry and Hermione. That's why I like it, amongst other facts from the previous six books.
As for the movies, they've dug themselves (the producers, Warner Brothers, or whoever makes the script decisions) into quite a hole. The task they face would be to try and sway viewers it's
not Harry and Hermione, but rather Harry and Ginny. A feat I find to be near impossible (though not out of question). At the least, it would be interesting to see the movies go one direction while the books go another, but that's also unlikely (as the movies take their plots from the books).
Er... anyway; comments? I don't know what else to say (and it's terribly awkward trying to restart this discussion about our favourite ship;
please respond!)

p.s.- Dumbledore's Window, Dominique, Lupin123, or any of you regulars still there? I feel so alone and exposed...

Jan 9 2006, 04:30 PM
Hai The Harry in me,
I am here. Just watching the discussions. According to me, the movies should cover the important parts of the story within 2 hours and 30 minutes. So they exclude many things. They don't include many R/H moments so the movies seemed to be H/Hr. After all the movies are based on books. How can they go in two different ways? The movies are in some rushing manner and the books are slow and study, but both are leading to a same destiny (making the fans to believe that it is R/H and finally surprising with H/Hr).
I like books more than the movies. After watching all the three movies I wanted to read the books, just to entertain my children. I bought all the five books at once and completed them within one month.Without knowing anything about these shipping wars and discussions boards, it just occured to me that H/Hr will end up in the end.
Speaking about the movie 6 , like some one told in the portkey thread Dumbledore is the hero of HBP. There are many important things in HBP other than these shipping thing. So i doubt whether they would include the birds attacking scene and H/G kiss etc. They won't give preference to those matters. There are more important scenes are in HBP like pensieve(sp) horcruxes and cave scene etc.

Jan 9 2006, 04:47 PM
TheHarryInMe, I'm here, as usual reading the shipping sites! The ships are the forums I like to visit on Veritaserum. As you know, I am an avid H/Hr shipper! I do have to tell you something though, would you please refer to me by my true name, Dumbledore's WIDOW not Window!

Thanks!
Responding to your post - I just want to say that I doubt the movies will stray much from the books, even though the movies really do have that H/Hr feel to them. Since JKR did write H/G in HBP, the movies will have to address that. I just hope that they stress the scenes in the book where Harry is concerned about Hermione's behavior and not focus too much on H/G. With Dan and Emma's chemistry, the FEEL will still be there! I also hope that the movies make us realize that the breakup between Harry and Ginny is permanent. Wouldn't want the movie-goer (who has yet to read the books!) to think that Harry and Ginny will reunite in the next movie. Now doe we?
Personally, I believe (and will always feel this way) that Harry and Hermione will get together in the final book. If they don't, I'll never understand why JKR would write H/Hr moments and not tell that she is romantically tying them together! I don't care that it was H/G in book 6. It was essentially H/Cho in books 4 and 5. So what? H/G BROKE UP. Hopefully that relationship will 'rest in peace'.

Hey Everyone!

Sorry I haven't been posting much, I have been away for most of the holidays, and I just got back and am beat! And unfortunately won't be posting much in the upcoming month due to *shudders* exams. Never the less, my viewpoint hasn't changed. I
adore H/Hr. End of story.
I too believe Dan and Emma have great screen chemistry, and they are just one of those movie couples that you just want to
finally kiss don't you? I'm not saying Rupert and Emma are bad.. but they are just.. just R/Hr. Bickering, teasing .. I guess you could call it cute and sweet, it's a matter of one's opinion anyway.
Moving along.. Top question on my mind:
Are Harry and Hermione going to end up together in the last book? I
support Harry and Hermione all the way! (See how much effort that took to make it pretty? xP) All though I do not think they will get together in the last book.. As much as I might
want them too, I just don't think it's going to happen. Well actually, one day I think it will, one day I won't.. you know the feeling.
Summary of what I said: Harry and Hermione are the best ship in the HP series, according to me

Hai H/Hr shippers,
I heard one thing about JKR's interview. I don't know whether it is true or not. She told that the eagle eyed readers can guess the plot line of the next book from the last few pages of HBP. Is there any eagle eyed reader? Can you guess anything about the next book from the last few pages of HBP? Let me know.I am very poor in guessing JKR's plot lines. Till date I could not guess not even a single thing correctly. She disappointed me in each and every book.If anybody guess something from the end of book 6 please let me know.

Hey Guys - this is the first time i've posted here or anywhere else for that matter, so please be gentle on me. For me, its always been Harry/Hermione, right from the start, no question about it. Good grief, they go together better Wallace & Gromitt. As its my first post, i'll be brief as I really must read through the whole Ship so i don't end up repeating comments made before. However, one quick commentary before I really should get back to work (!) - I helped to coach the women's football (soccer) team at uni and as an aside during one particularly dull training session I asked every one of them that if they were Hermonine who would they most see themselves with. All eleven said Harry. Three of them were Honours English Literature students. I rest my case.

Hello!
Dominique, that was an interesting speech that you posted over in
H/r/hr Love Triangle, Will Harry and Ron fight over Hermione? (the one about
not supporting the ships

... Maybe you could do something of the sort here?)
Anyways, I'm not sure if this has already been done here or not, but I would like to know what your top five H/Hr moments in the entire series. Here are mine:
1.)-
| QUOTE (HBP @ Hermione's Helping Hand, Chp. 11. (This is Hermione speaking)) |
| "You've never been more interesting, and frankly, you've never been more fanciable." |
2.)-
| QUOTE (HBP @ The Unbreakable Vow, Chp. 15 (This is Hermione speaking)) |
| "I like really good Quidditch players." |
3.)-Various scenes from HBP where Harry takes time to find Hermione when she is upset.
4.)-
| QUOTE (SS/PS @ Through the Trapdoor, Chp. 16) |
Hermione's lip trembled, and she suddenlydashed at Harry and threw her arms around him. "hHermione!" "Harry- you're a great, you know." "I'm not as good as you," said Harry, very embarrassed, as she let go of him. "Me!" said Hermione. "Books! And cleverness! There are more important things- ffriendship and bravery and-oh Harry- be careful!" |
5.)-
| QUOTE (GoF @ The Weighing of the Wands, Chp. 18) |
...He walked resolutely over to the portrait hole, pushed it open, and found himself face-to-face with Hermione. "Hello," she said, holding up a stack of toast, which she was carrying in a napkin. "I brought you this... Want to go for a walk?" "Good idea," said Harry gratefully. |
6.)- Various other scenes from the series that are too numerous to count

!
And that is the point that I have been trying to make to other
thickheaded fans (sorry Mods, but this is not a derogatory comment to anyone specific or to any specific group in the fandom

). They ask where the evidence is in canon, and there it is. I mean, how thick can you be?

Earendil_Mithrandir,
Loved your post. Glad to see those beautiful quotes! And, yes, they are very much canon, aren't they?! But, alas, our friends in the other shipping camps just see these exmples as mere friendship between Harry and Hermione.

I suppose to have true love is to bicker constantly - said with my tongue deeply embedded in my cheek!
I love Harry and Hermione being together. They go together like milk and cocoa powder (makes great hot chocolate!). No oil and water here!

Jan 11 2006, 07:39 PM
Ah the quotes. Alas, they offer only glimmers of what could have (should have) been.
It may be of only marginal interest but apparently there used to be several Royal Navy warships called HMS Hermione. the last one - and the sixth to bear the name - was launched at Devonport in 1893 and saw service in WW1. Unfortunately, the admiralty never commissioned an HMS Potter or an HMS Harry but at least there hasnt been an HMS Ron. Ironic indeed. Perhaps the Navy is trying to tell us something...although I can't see anyone at Hogwarts joining the departmant of maritime magic any time soon.

It never ceases to amaze me how many non-H/Hr shippers love Dan and Emma together. They even speculate that there is something romantic going on between these two. I love Dan and Emma together and I love their chemistry as Harry and Hermione in the HP movies. If Dan and Emma are actually dating, great! I wish them well. If not, that's OK too. But, to me, seeing Dan and Emma together and witnessing their chemistry in the HP movies IS envisioning H/Hr! (sigh!) There really is so much H/Hr in the HP novels. I just do not understand why JKR wrote them this way if she doesn't intend for them to be together.

Go figure!

Er... sorry Dumbledore's
Widow(

). It's one of those instances when you read a word and arbitrarily take it as another without checking first. My mistake.
Earendil_Mithrandir: I'd love to tell you my favorite moments (though forgive me for not quoting...):
1. When Hermione is hit by the curse in the Department of Mysteries and Harry panics and then feels immense relief when she is still alive.
2. When Harry compliments Hermione to Slughorn on the train, and then she beams at him [Harry] when Slughorn brings back the subject in Potions.
3. When Hermione in concerned for Harry right before he faces Voldemort in the Philosopher's/Sorceror's Stone, and tells him how great of a wizard he is.
4. The whole of Goblet of Fire (book) when Harry and Hermione are constantly hanging around together, eventually accumilating to her kissing him on the cheek as they leave for the summer holidays.
5. When Hermione is able to calm down the emotional, "Voldemort-tuned airel" Harry becomes in Order of the Phoenix, especially when she speaks Voldemort's name for the first time and he calms instantly. (Actually, I'm thinking about moving this one up to number one...

I've changed my mind; pretend this is really number one...
and number four is number two...)
And if the last pages of Half-Blood Prince are any indicator to what book seven would be about (as Lupin123 asked), here's my version:
There will be an important death (of some character; probably major). Hermione will go crying to Ron for some unknown reason, while he is absolutely baffled by her emotions (don't hate me yet; I'll explain...). Ginny will approach Harry, either to renew their relationship (after a one year stall) or try to comfort him. Harry will probably be offered a job after everything is finished (probably Minister or Head Auror), but will refuse and do things on his own (assuming he lives). Then, one of two things could happen. Hands down (and this is where it relates to Harry and Hermione, so please do go off on me that I'm off topic), Harry gets Hermione. After being comforted with Ron, she'll follow Harry once he starts to track Voldemort for the final confrontation (of course, Ron tags along as well). Harry realises how he feels for Hermione (evident by his one last day of hope, or whatever it is, at the end of Half-Blood Prince with Ron and Hermione) and they admit their feelings. Finally, the inevitable happens and Harry faces Voldemort. He either dies in the process, but is able to kill Voldemort because of his love (he finally admits he loves Hermione, so it makes him all the stronger); or, he lives and the bright future awaiting is with Hermione.
Anyway, that's my version (and probably
highly inaccurate, but who cares...

). As you can tell, it leans heavily Harry and Hermione (honestly, I don't think that's exactly what will happen, save the Harry and Hermione finally getting together, but it is how I would guess the plot based on the end of Half-Blood Prince). Who knows; perhaps I'll write a Harry and Hermione fan fiction of it...
That's about all...

I like it! I like it alot, TheHarryInMe! Why do I feel like I sound like Dr. Seuss?!
Anyway, i agree with your post, except for the possibility of Harry dying. No-o-o-o, I don't want to see that happen. But, I would so love to have Harry finally realize how he feels about Hermione. I have always thought that Hermione already loves Harry. It may have even happened way back in book one for her. She just gave him lots of space when Harry had his crushes (Cho and Ginny). No doubt she may have been sad and upset by it (what normal girl would not?) but, she did have Ron to vent her frustrations on!

And they say the bickering was love between Ron and Hermione! Ha! I could go further and discuss Ron's feelings about Hermione, but I won't at this time. I want to keep it H/Hr.
At this point, I would be curious to know how many of you feel that Hermione is already in love with Harry but just isn't coming out and telling him? I also feel that Harry has subconsciously loved Hermione as well. Do you agree? This is why I so want book 7 to reveal that Harry realizes that Hermione is the one he has loved all along. I'm just a romantic at heart!

Hello all! I haven't been around in ages and I have a crazy schedule to thank for that. I've had fun trawling through all your comments and here are some of my thoughts on the various subjects you've covered:
| QUOTE |
It may be of only marginal interest but apparently there used to be several Royal Navy warships called HMS Hermione. the last one - and the sixth to bear the name - was launched at Devonport in 1893 and saw service in WW1. Unfortunately, the admiralty never commissioned an HMS Potter or an HMS Harry but at least there hasnt been an HMS Ron. Ironic indeed. Perhaps the Navy is trying to tell us something...although I can't see anyone at Hogwarts joining the departmant of maritime magic any time soon |

Cool! Too bad there hasn't been an HMS Harmony...or a Harmony cruiseline. Doesn't that sound like a proper name?
| QUOTE |
| Dominique, that was an interesting speech that you posted over in H/r/hr Love Triangle, Will Harry and Ron fight over Hermione? (the one about not supporting the ships ... Maybe you could do something of the sort here?) |
It may just be my delusional side kicking in - but does anyone else think that H/Hr is looking more probable than ever - even more probable than it looked BEFORE HBP? Yeah, maybe it's just me

but seeing all the gross imperfections in the OBHWF set-up, I can't help but think that those ships CAN'T last, nor do they show any signs of changing. I see a Love triangle as the natural evolution of things, because romantic matters are bound to shift and change while the Trio are alone together looking for the Horcruxes. I can't imagine that JK Rowling would lay out all the ships of the final book in an Interview. Besides, does anyone remember the July 2006 interview with Emma Coads? Coads asked if Harry and Hermione would get together and JK Rowling said "you'll get half your answer to that in HBP." So, out came HBP and H/G got together in the books (so, to OBHWFs that's one-half) and R/Hr showed tension. Now, one COULD say that that's half and that once R/Hr make it official, that's the other half, but let me recall the Interview, in which Rowling said "That's it. It's done. We now know it's Ron and Hermione" (or something like that

) Logically, that sounds like we have a whole. JK Rowling counted H/G and R/Hr as being "done/together" in HBP, but if that's half...well, you see what point I'm lumbering towards, I'm sure

What I'm saying, in my own round-about way, is that we mustn't lose hope.

* * * * *
Speaking of which, I haven't had time to post in the Fan Fiction section here and the last chapter I posted for my Year Seven - R/Hr to H/Hr fic was eleven, but now I'm on Chapter Eighteen. That means that the romantic get-together chapter is up and there are several chapters' worth of steady and sweet H/Hr interactions for readers of delusional leanings to savor. So yeah, they've kissed, they're a couple, and it's getting pretty darn good reviews.
And yeah, I worship at the altar of feedback, so if you've got time and do read it, please let me know what you think in my guestbook.

To me, only Hermione is fit for Harry
Hermione believed Harry while no one else did - even Ron disbelieved him (vol. 4). She is always there for him whenever he needs her. Moreoever, they look perfectly fit in appearance, too!
Another vote for Hermione! ^__^

Hai Herminia,
Welcome back. Very glad to see you again. I am reading your "year seven" without fail in your website. Really your story is very different from other fan fictions. That song "Kryptonite" is very touching and I like it very much. Please update your story soon. Expecting the next part of 18th chapter.
Dumbledore's Widow,
I am agreeing with you 200% that Hermione is in love with Harry from the beginning. Without knowing what is love and all, she is having a great affection towards Harry from the beginning. Later, she don't want to risk her friendship with him by telling her love to him.As you told, Harry is not aware of his secret feelings for Hermione.Till now, he is with Hermione so he don't realise what is life will be without her. If he missed her then he would have realise it. I think something will happen to her in book 7, so he can realise how badly he needs her.
The Harry in me,
I like your guess work about the plot line of next book except that part of Harry will die. I don't want to see Harry's death. Infact, I don't want to see anymore deaths in this story (they are already enough) and want them all should live happily. Want to see H/Hr, Ron/Luna and Ginny/Neville end up together. Is it possible? JKR alone can answer after 18 months.
