Honestly...
nothing.
Because the way I look at it, they're FICTIONAL characters, so whose to say our ship is wrong? it's just as fictional as any other ship out there!
These books are from one girl's imagination, and it's every reader of the book and viewer of the films responsibility to carry it on with
ourimagination.
Everyone's different. Some people see Ron and Hermione as perfect because they're both sidekicks so it's not cliche that she ends up with Harry the Hero.....I personally think that happens to be ridiculous because well...harry isn't a typical hero. He's not charming with ladies, he struggles, he's not made of steel, have monster strength or anything like that. He's just a boy struggeling to keep alive and Hermione's just a girl trying to help him to stay alive.
Hermione cares for Harry
and Harry cares for Hermione.
That's how I base my relationships on.
ANDDDDDD I'm done. * runs away grabs tissues*

I'll never abandon this ship! Whatever it's called, whether it's
Harmony or
Pumpkin Pie.. Well anyway, with that said, the first option the Luke/Leia thingy, is kinda creepy too. I mean, I hate incest and if that happens to H/Hr, I'd probably get sick and never EVER read the Harry Potter books because I'll just cry my head off. But even if this happens, I'll never EVER stop shipping H/Hr. There's still fanfiction after all.

That is an easy question. You see, there is no need to worry about them being related, because there is simply no way. The closest they could come must be Adam and Eve and that's it. Hermione could be relatives with half of the planet, still it wouldn't matter, because Harry doesn't have any living relatives except Dursleys. That's it. No need to ponder.
And that first choice cleared away, my answer is "never". She can't undo the six books she wrote.

I quite agree...Harry has no siblings and it would be such a lame twist to make Hermione a long lost sister at this point. For my money Hermione and Ron are the ones who act like siblings...but maybe all of the herons are only children?
I'll ship these two barring some amazingly bad character assassination in DH by JKR...say if Hermione got frisky with Malfoy and became a death nibbler...(slim and none...and slim just left town on that one!)

I'll never stop shipping Harmony! Though I must say, the sibling situation would be very scarring.... I might lose a little bit of my vigor for the ship if that happened

Plus they'd both need
so much therapy. She'd have to write another book entitled "Harry Potter and the Therapist's Couch"

Well, since the HP biography is just a propaganda exercise to keep the battle-weary, depressed folk of Wizarding Britain a little buoyant, I'll carry on writing about what really happened.
So there! <grins>

Ha! Never shall I abandon my ship!
They won't end up siblings because they
aren't. And I'm pretty sure that if they do end up brother/sister, then JKR wouldn't have written the whole series the way she did and then we Harmonians wouldn't be diagnosed with 'delusional'-ity.
H/Hr is my sanity! Never shall I abandon it! MWAHAHAHAHA!

JKR has yet to manage to dissuade me, and it has been, what, years since DH was out? Thing is, i have stopped listening to her, meaning she has lost her chance.

Might I just say I find it funny, that I abanodned Harry Potter as a series but not H/Hr. If that makes any sense of course.

Hi
StarbuckJr!! Glad to see you back on Portkey. It's been awhile since I've read a post from you. Please stay awhile!
Rowling hasn't dissuaded me from shipping H/Hr either. I hear that she has Twitter now, ... personally, I could care less. Truth be told, she's always bothered me to some degree, and then she went all
Weasley and THAT really bugged the heck out of me.

Like many Harmonians, I couldn't understand how she, of all people, couldn't see H/Hr. Good grief, she wrote it so beautifully well!
It will always be H/Hr for me! Rowling
laid an egg by
not bringing them together!

What'd make me abandon H/H? As it turns out, practically nothing. I've abandoned the fandom at some point, but I still like H/Hr.

Does this mean I can actually claim to be a half-blood now?
Strangely, having only just invested in the years 6 & 7 books, I've given up trying to read them. The one big spoiler (the epilogue) means that I really don't care what JKR does with the trio any more because I like OUR (Harmony) version better.
It still strikes me that she decided that she wanted a final twist in the plot, and decided in the wrong one. I
like the cliche'd
hero gets the girl ending. It's traditional and it's what makes a romance a romance.
Hey, what about Cinderella running off and getting a job as a waitress and living with an alcoholic Vernon Dursley? It just doesn't work in the romantic vein, does it?
So, I'm in

for the long-haul here.

hero gets the girl ending.
But the Hero got the Girl. I understand as "Girl", the one who stayed behind and wait, someone that have no other function in plot than to be the Hero's love interest. If JK was trying to avoid this "cliche" she was saddly mistaken. Hermione has a proper function in the history and was Harry's alchemy partner. She was transformed too. And between her and Harry who was the hero and who was the dansel in distress?

Why, i bow to you ladies, gal-texter and lovesharry.
HP could as well as be another "hero gets the girl" story, maybe it is/was in JKR's mind. Personally, for the first five book (how many pages does that make), i thought Hermione was The Girl, and the author was just throwing around temporary girls (and boys) in their respective personal lives to keep it real. To make the characters believable, and human. Just as i was reading Cho parts *knowing* it was going to end, i thought it was the same with Ginny.
Boy, was i disappointed...

I kind of discount Ginny since she's not The Girl, but the archetypal FanGirl.
I always thought of her as an annoying plot element rather than a character in her own right. I still do.
I mean, a pureblood girl who actually writes in a magical diary that answers back? That's not even in the same intellectual league as Mr Ed (but is about as thick as Ron). I don't know, but I wouldn't trust anything that talks back unless I know where it keeps its brains ... and even then I'd be wary. This doesn't speak to me of being an appropriate partner for Harry, who comes over as intelligent if rather poorly motivated academically.
In the same light, I can tell you that there is no way that Hermione would tolerate an argumentative, disloyal fool like Ron. Most highly intelligent (and highly motivated) women want caring, intelligent partners.
Of course, in the epilogue to the epilogue, Ron and Ginny probably shuffle off the mortal coil, leaving Harry and Hermione to get together at long last ... Ahhh, my!

Oh, wow...I never thought about Ginny being a pureblood and writing in a talking diary. Good eye. You're right....Ginny wins the award for having the smallest intellect in the HP universe.
I agree with you wholeheartedly about Ron. I'm convinced that Hermione would take a swing at him at least three times during their marriage. I mean, he tortured her relentlessly in school. Did she think moving in with him and bearing his children would help with that? Ron does have the emotional range of a teaspoon, after all. Ron is neither caring nor intellectual. Who tries to fix their wand with Spell-o tape?! Ugh.
