Really, I think Ron/Hermione was fine for the most part, but it left Harry himself as part of a side-character romance while the main romance of the story was between his sidekicks.

The biggest problem with Ron/Hermione was that it took them too long to get together. The second biggest problem was that Ron got kind of dumb and worthless by book 7. He should have had, like, great tactical sense or a hidden talent for Divination or *something*. Though he did manage to Disarm Bellatrix at one point.

I thought this as well.

In context of Luna, a bizarre character who also lost a parent, her personality seems to be the one who understands Harry best.

I loved that scene where she tells at Harry for not listening; all the characters usually ride on Harry's bandwagon and follow/instruct or hang on his every fucking word. She just had to flat out tell him to cool his shit and actually listen for a change. She's what he needs to hear, not what he wants.

Not to mention a lot of the one on one moments are the best in the books. The moment where she discussed the death horses, where they have to go on that date together to the fatty potions professor.

Ginny was too forced, and Hermione would have been forced out the ass.

I know, right?

Not to mention the "I love you Ron, I only LIKE harry!" diocotemy that Ron and Hermoine's relationship was built off of. I mean, hell, it seemed to me Hermoine's only reason to settle for Ron was that she needed to prove she didn't need someone famous to be her love (see Krim, Harry). Ron's crush with the famous French gal seemed to solidify that for me.

I mean, it's bad if a relationship between two people is built off their mutual desire to not draw attention to a third. It feels forced in that regard.

Lunarry stronk.

There's your first mistake, you were meant to read it as a child. Don't think yourself mature because you were too old when you first read it.
Also, why would a teenager read Dostoevsky?

I’m still waiting for her to admit the whole Harry Potter universe was inside Harry’s head. All of the adventures were the fantasies of some kid being abused, nothing more.

I agree. The majority of people want their protagonist to get the dream girl and most see Hermoine as the dream girl. It would be obvious for it to happen, when there wasn't even that much indication that they should get together.

harry was a narcissist, he was unbecoming and more often than not, treated women noticeably different than men.

hermione was smart, independent, and (later on in the books) had high self-esteem. she was way, way too good for him, and they both knew that. harry wasn't honest with himself about it, but it was always there.

ginny is meek, pretty, and immature enough at the beginning to fall in love with harry even though she didn't know him. she was just impressed by his heroicism.

hermione and ron rounded each other out. he made her learn to break rules, she made him learn to make his own. she provided the plan, ron provided the gumption.

This is why she shouldn't have written that deplorable epilogue, where it makes out that everyone is living in the same small world that they were 17 years ago.

>but it left Harry himself as part of a side-character romance while the main romance of the story was between his sidekicks.

I think that's a good thing, myself. It kept the story about Harry's actual life. It wasn't a romance story framed by the wizarding world, it was some teenager doing what teenagers do (including having a few meagre relationships) while fighting an evil mother fucker.
They had a good main couple seen through the series, but keeping it between the side characters made it clear that it was always going to be secondary to the actual plot.

I'm 100% sure her aim is to never write another Harry Potter related thing again. She's made her millions, she just wants to sit back on her fat ass and relax.

I'm genuinely pissed off about it too because any other author would have done a better job with the last two/three books given the chance. Hell some of the fanfiction is better than what that inbred mongrel churned out.

There should have been WAY more dialogue between Voldemort and Grindelwald, that part really, really pissed me off.

Uh... I've read the books all the way through about 10 times, and I can't remember Grindelwald and Voldemort ever holding conversation. Is this just a brainfart?

I know Voldemort saw the memory of a young Grindelwald in Gregorovitch's mind through legilimency, but that's all i got.

Voldemort went after him looking for the Elder Wand...as far as I can remember Grindelwald just tells him to kill him because there's so much he doesn't understand.

A bit of a cop out really. If Voldemort were meeting the man who once held his position as a lethal dark wizard and had been subdued by the one man he fears you'd think he might have a word with him before killing him.

I see. I haven't read the books in years but if I remember rightly Hermione said that Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald and put him in his own prison. Voldemort realized it was him who stole it from Gregorovitch and tracked him down. What's interesting is that he denies that he ever had it, which probably implies that he had tried for some remorse which was alluded to by Dumbledore later on in the book. I'm just annoyed that there was no substantial dialogue beyond "u got my wand dude?" "no" "ok lol bye"

Harry treated women differently than men? I don't see it in how he interacts with Herm, Mcgonagall, Luna, Molly, Tonks and Fleur(after he gets over her hotness).
The Cho stuff seemed to be typical derpy virgin mistakes, especially when you take into account that Cho's troubled by Cedric's death and Harry's probly never seen a loving couple before(Dursleys locked him in the house).

I can imagine each of them ameliorating the other's flaws. Hermione is unskeptical when it comes to establishment knowledge, leaving her unlikely to develop any revolutionary ideas which she is probably capable of given her intellect. Luna, on the other hand, is the anti-authoritarian type. Perhaps together they'd find some middle ground focused on finding truth.

This is making them sound more like a research team than a couple, though.

Hmm that sounds plausible enough. There are some research team couples out there after all. It'd be hard to balance but possible- I mostly see Luna ending up providing the impetus for an idea which Herm then works on.
Or maybe Luna can keep going on her field expeditions and bring back artifacts/magical techniques for them to analyze together.

I think that was just symmetry reasons. Harry knew no other women whom he idolized that much; his other options were pretty much Hermione, which would get awkward at family reunions, and Minerva, which was a possibility, but Lily Minerva was too much even for him. And he couldn't just give her one name, that would not be the Potter way.

Good bait

4 real though, Ron was kinda worthless throughout the series as a wizard. He's good at chess but in book 2 he doesn't really contribute anything to solving the riddle of the chamber. In book 3 he's out cold during the grand finale. In book 4 he's a sulky bitch. In book 5 he's dazed and confused during the epic battle and in book 6 he realizes he's a great keeper if he realizes he's a worthless sack of shit. Book 7 he's sulking again.

Sure, he's a loyal comrade to Harry, a friend when Harry needed one, but Ron, poor Ronny just isn't capable of much.

And now this?

Poor Ron.

Well as far as we know, once they go to Hogwarts they only learn about magic. They actually do spend a lot of time in the various classes and discuss their schedules. Nothing related to science or math is involved.

No wonder potions is such a disaster, with them expecting kids to know what 1/8th of a dragon dingleberry is, even though they have no idea what 1/8th means

Shit, you don't even learn about things like photosynthesis, evolution, gravity, a lot of info about the solar system, etc until the 5th grade. They probably think it's all magic.

They aren't shitty books, they aren't intended for you. Go read the Goosebumps series and then come and tell me how good it is in comparison to when you were a kid.

Go watch The Wiggles and Bob the Builder. Go play on the kids play equipment at the park.

Ron has precious few things in the Harry Potter series. He had some decent chess skills for an 11 year old and... that's about it. Beyond that point, it was basically all 'date raped by 12 year old' this and 'my rat, the child molester' that. And even the chess game necessitated his sacrifice.

He grew up as the runt among a clown car's worth of older brothers, only to get essentially usurped of even that meagre position by his celebrity bestie, and then lived visibly bitter in Harry's shadow for the bulk of the series. Does Harry REALLY need to get his girlfriend too?
