if Mrs. Rowling would make H/hr "siblings" then..someone is really "delusional" or right down "Disturbing" and it not Us...shipper. I would of thought that R/hr is more of "sibling" from re-reading all of books...

I definitely will but that would be quite disturbing.

I agree strongly with that! :thumbup:
~hp_freak17 :angel:

I couldn't agree with you more! You've said everything i've been thinking. NOTHING would ever make me abandon my Ship. Those who have "jumped" Ships or left H/Hr.....all I can say is that's really, really sad FOR YOU!

If you can abandon H/Hr in any way, shape, or form....you're not a real Shipper and never were and may the fandom have mercy on your souls!

Okay...no that I have ranted it is clear that under no circumstances will I ever abandon the most sensible and beautiful Ship- H/Hr!

Oops... I think I will get Hatemail for this ...

I choose Hermione dead ...

The only way I coud "accept" H/G (as I'm saying accept canon) is IF Hermione dies. Yes, I prefer her dead before being with Ron.

Why not Harry dead and then Hermione/Ron... I just can't see it (as imagining in my head). I like the Hermione character too much, too see her end (as in a marriage with kids) with the bad tempered redhead in the supposed long epilogue. I really liked R/Luna, I even loved the idea of H/Luna!. I LOVE LUNA.... WHERE WAS LUNA!!!

So this is the only way I could stop being a H/Hr shipper and automatically I would abandon the Harry Potter series forever. I would donate my HP books and never ever buy anything related about Harry Potter again.

Yes, I would do that. No Hermione, no HP books. If Harry dies... well, he's been playing with dead since he was born. The only thing I could say is "it is a really CERTAIN posibility". I would say, he was so alike his father(like everybody in the book)..., because if something that I got from the HBP is that he picked up a bit of the easygoing James Potter. At least, he got his father confidence and not the cruelty trail.

But even after the end, I would support H/Hr, but If Hermione dies I would quit forever from Canon Harry Potter. I will accept H/G (because it wouldn't matter).
I don't know... still I would love the idea of H/Hr as always...

I chosed a tricky choice...

Are we trying to be realistic? Harry and Hermione (much as I love them) are fictional characters.

If JK wrote that they were siblings then I would write an alternate ending to her books were they are not and continue to ship H/Hr

If Harry or Hermione died I would come up with all kinds of theories as to how they could come back aka buffy.

In short anything she did to step btw them I would find a way to undo.

NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER WILL I STOP SHIPPING HARRY AND HERMIONE!!!!!! I mean come on, they are perfect for each other in any way. And yes, I was extreamley depressed after reading hBP, just like the rest of you. But after reading it, along with the rest of the series, I see that there is so much more Harmony hints than there are R/Hr. So I am definately waiting with my fingers crossed that it WILL Happen in book 7... or at least they will admit their feelings (and hopefully act upon them!)

And if not, well screw J.K, I'll just continue to ignore the last two books in any of my fanart or fanfictions! Or maybe just rewrite them!

Harmony 4ever!

The only way I would stop shipping H/HR is if JKR goes back and rewrites the first five books the way she wrote HBP. I didn't ship H/HR in HBP because they weren't the Harry and Hermione that I knew and loved. If Harry and Hermione acted that way together since the first book, I would have never shipped them in the first place.

Yes. I agree with you there too. The way Harry and Hermione acted in the sixth book is pretty different than the first five books (which I all Love). But then again, I don't really think I'll stop shipping them if she re-writes the first five books...Oh well. As I said on my first post in this topic, i don't think anything will stop me from shipping Harry and Hermione!

*pokes avvie, thingy under avvie, and siggy*

No matter the reason or whoever comes in my way, I don't think I could ever stop shipping H/Hr. They truly complement each other perfectly.

Hermione: The sweetest and most caring girl in the series IMHO. Your friendly neighborhood bookworm and intellectual except in DADA, she is not only the most innocent character in the series, but also the bigger target thanks to her bloodline. In many cases, I think she consoles Harry because she wants to be consoled herself; considering her constant arguements with her other best friend, the amount of work she puts herself through, the fact that Harry is deadset on facing Voldie, and the death and heartache that she goes through along with the other characters. She may try to hide her feelings through her books, high IQ, her supposedly independent nature, and showing Malfoy up again and again, but I feel she's a pretty easy one to read.

Harry: Considering the life he's had, as Dumbledore said, it is a miracle that he is still able to feel affection and positive emotion for the relatively small amount of true friends he really has. To that extent, Harry would do absolutely ANYTHING to protect and assist his friends, even if his life was at stake. In many ways, except when he was angsty in Book 5, he is the most chlivaristic character I have ever seen in a fantasy novel, ever. His life his tragic, but he moves on. He has people wanting to kill him, but his friends and teachers support his decisions. He worries many, but saves many more. He truly is a knight in shining armor, to make a statement.

Under these circumstances, I would claim that the cohesion of these two is perfect. If I were to use my scale of relationships in this series, they would be a Level 1, easily. The highest form of affection in my series; it exempilfes true and unyielding love between two people. This opens a totally different form of power in my series (which JKR has used in The-Power-He-Knows-Not) and it shows the fact that the two in question would do anything for the other, under any cricumstance. There is a lot of evidence to support that claim throughout the books.

H/Hr Forever!

I voted for "I'll never stop being a Harry/Hermione no matter what!" This isn't because I'm thick-headed and don't like to admit to being wrong. It's because, quite frankly, H/Hr was my first ship. I think I shipped H/Hr in a light, childish sort of way since I first read PS/SS when I was seven. I've always believed they should get together. If JKR doesn't wanna swing that way, it's up to her... it's HER books--her characters, her plots, her 'ships, and, ultimately, her decisions. But even if JKR does say, outright, that H/Hr can never happen, I won't jump ship.

Because you know what? There are lots of totally non-canon ships out there! If H/Hr becomes a fanon ship, totally disproved by the sixth book and JKR's own words, I'll stick with it. Because I love H/Hr and I believe that it's simply right.

And after all, that's the beauty of A.U., is it not? Even if JKR says simply, "H/Hr can never happen, and never will happen," we can go on believing in our ship. It doesn't have to come about in a simple, logical way--although I hope it does. H/Hr can happen in our parallel universe of HP. I mean, as much as I love the HP books, they're only that... books. I don't think we should get too worked up about the relationships of made-up characters in a made-up would.

So, if you want to 'ship H/Hr, I think you should , despite any canonical evidence. It's just for fun, right?

Ay, me. I came off as rather stubborn and pig-headed just now. I'm sorry. It's intended to be all in good fun. I just think that 'ships can be realistic, and they can be for fun. Right now I think H/Hr is realistic... but SOMEDAY it may become one of those ships that is canonically impossible, but lots of fun anyway.

Respectfully yours,
Gwenhwyfar, otherwise known, in real life and on LJ, as Miryna

I totally agree with you. Most of my favourite ships are AU and non-canon. So if Harry and Hermione end up siblings, I'll write a story where they're not. If one or the other dies, I'll change that too. That's the beauty of fictitious characters. We can do whatever we want with them through fanfiction, fanart, and fanvideos, and we can't hurt their reputation or insult them because they're not real!

I definitely will go down with this ship no matter what.

I was going to say I'd never stop being a Harmonian, which is mostly true, but dang, if they turn out to be BROTHER AND SISTER... excuse my French but f**k me! that'll just ruin it completely. I'm still having nightmares of Leia planting a wet one on Luke in "Empire Strikes Back". Fortunately, there's no chance of that happening.

Other than that, I don't care if JKR writes "Harry and Ginny married, lived to a hundred and fifty years old and died with their hands clasped together on their deathbeds." I'd still be a Harmonian.

This is my very first post here... And I'm proud to say that I WILL NEVER STOP BEING A HARRY/HERMIONE SHIPPER...

And I think that the sibling thing is quite gross...

Well... fanfics are just that. FANfics.
If by some strange twist of reality and some sick idea of JKR they do end up being brother/sister I'm sure some people would just forget that Harry/Hermione are related (Seriously doubt that) and just continue to write ideas they had down, upload them and let others enjoy their ideas.

In the world of fandom anything can happen.
In the world of fandom Hedwig could fall inlove with Pig and they can have little chicks and live happily ever after.

I guess what I'm trying to say is no matter what happens in cannon fanfics can still be written about absolutely anything.
The same is true for shipping beliefs. People may ship the most outrageous ships we can imagine. Compared to them shipping a ship that could be insest is positively sane.

Harry and Hermione, to me, are the perfect couple and although you say we should never say never.
I am. I will never stop shipping Harry/Hermione.
No matter what happens.

~Bec

My dear Harmonians, you should not ask yourselves what would make you abandon H/Hr, for that isn't a quiestion worth asking, I believe (no offense intended to the author of the poll ).

You should ask youselves this: "Will I ever abandon H/Hr?" to which I'm sure most of you would proudly answer "HELL NO!"

And that's the spirit!

Agreed.



And recycling the HP books would save a huge chunk of rainforest. Rebellion with a good cause. I like!

There is NO WAY Jo will write Star Wars into her books. There aren't enough words to describe how wrong it would be to have Harry and Hermione as siblings, plus there is no evidence--what about Harry's blood protection, hmmm? If he had a living sister, why would he go live with the Dursleys?

Plus it would be the most awful bit of obvious plagiarism known to man.



You know it. I will die a Harry/Hermione shipper, just like I'll die a Keladry/Neal shipper (and stupid Neal had to go fall for the pretty girl in canon--bah, who needs canon anyway?).

^If you have no clue what that was about, it came from Tamora Pierce's Protector of the Small series, which has nothing to do with this topic, so I'll shut up now.

NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER SURRENDER.
HARRY HERMIONE

Would I abandon this wonderful ship? Uh nooooo...who would do that. I'll be a Harmonian until the day I die and there after. Since JK has just about shot it down...thats alright its still my ship.

NOTHIN~

If Voldemort wins.

But the only way I would "give up" is if they are related by blood...before marriage. Of course, I don't think that will happen either. But either of them being killed I guess would be the only surefire way.

Is there some sort of scientific marriage I'm missing? Because the way I figure it, a husband and wife are never related by blood, 'cept in dodgy incest cases (the gaunts).

Oh and I'm against shipping but for killing shippers

sharks baby - oooh yeah

NOTE - I'm not actively against Incest, just like I'm not actively against homosexuals. It's all about morals. If someones happy screwing their sister I'm fine with it - as long as they don't flaunt it in public to draw shock.

Oh, yeah, sorry. I should have been more blunt. If they turn out to be brother and sister or some other blood relation, then I might feel really weird about the whole business.


Otherwise, no, nothing between now and the end of the books will keep me from being invested in their relationship, because I think that is the right way to go.

I voted for if they turn out to be siblings.

Y'all, that's just gross. I could never read a piece of fanfic again.

But that's the *only* way.

The idea of abandoning the Harmony has never really occured to me. From the moment I began reading the books I have always believed that the most ideal couple was Harry and Hermione. This became my view not from reading the theories or fanfics on the world wide web. I gained my opinion from the one source that matters: The books themselves. Before i even found the Portkey, before I read the fanfics, I shipped solely from the books.

Even before learning the name of our ship, I was already onboar it.

If I have come this far already, does anyone actually think that I will let some juvenile editors of a certain HP-themed website (I am talking of course about the infamous interview a while back) decide that we are sunk instead of the JKR herself?!? REmember, Rowling never openly stated that we are sunk.

The only thing that could possibly (even remotely) make me CONSIDER abandoning this ship, would be the outcome of book 7.
*remember folks, we still have ONE LAST BOOK TO GO before any of you give up*

and when the series comes to a close, and no matter which ship is left sailing, I will know which one I preferred overall. Harmony.

"I will go down with this ship, i wont put my hands up and surrender."
Dido.

keep the faith every-peoples!!!

P.S..
I know it has been mentioned and considered, but the whole Luke/Leia thing...eww.
That would be a reason to abandon. But I think Rowling is creative enough to not use that antiquated, overused scenario. Didn't she dispel this theory once before? been a while since last i was in the news archives or forums...
anyway...

If JKR made it canon and wrote it the way she wrote H/G, R/Hr, or R/T, I would abandon it in canon. Never in fanon, though. Still, I really do hope now that she doesn't write it given that HPB proved that she can't write romance.

I voted for #2 because NOTHIMG can stop me from being a h/hr shipper and if this ship goes down than I'm going down with it.

Why are you even asking this here? It will always be #2. Though I have seen people get grossed out by the possibility of #1. JKR assures us that it will never come to that and that we shouldn't compare it to Star Wars.Whew.

This might get me hanged by Star Wars Fanatics. Tell me why are people so fanatical about Star Wars? I watched Episodes I and II and didn't find anything special about them.

Me. I am a Harry Potter Fanatic and a H/Hr shipper. Star Wars holds no weight in my world. I naturally voted for #2.

Never ever. I will stay hear forever

Sorry, but nothing will ever stop me from being a H/Hr!
Even if they did turn out to be related!! I've made denial an art form in other aspects of my life, and if JKR doesn't make it H/Hr, for whatever reason, (but that's never gonna happen coz it's H/Hr all the way!) then, click!, denial in place!

LOL, well, if anyone's ever read the Flowers In the Attic series, let me just say I guess I shipp Catherine/Chris!

HHr all the way...let's just say, I'm that stubborn...

H/Hr all the way! And if it doesn't happen there's always fanfiction.

I'll always like the ship even if it does not happen, it will remain my OTP. And I'll never like R/Hr-H/G even if it's said they lived happily ever after.

i'll only abandon ship if JKR writes it CONVINCINGLY! but i think it'd be hard to do that, so much has been established in the last 6 books that it would take another 6 books to make me believe anything...

besides, there's always fanon...

Okay. . .if they turn out being brother and sister. . . that's totally gross. I don't think I could continue shipping them even in fanon if that's how it ends. I honestly doubt that that will be the ending, but I just honestly wouldn't be able to read any more romantic fan fics or think of them as a couple if by some chance they were related. I mean, I can ignore canon in fan fiction, but only up to a certain point. I don't think I could read a post-DH fic of them if the author decided to ignore that point. I mean, that's gigantic. Even bigger than Dumbledore dying, IMO.

I can just imagine the gloating comments Herons and Chocos would go around saying.

*shudders*

Thankfully, there's a million reasons why that theory isn't even thinkable.

It's already been discussed that Harry and Hermione are not brother and sister, it's very, very unlikely.

Theorically it would be possible with their birth dates but it's not realistic (Hermione born in september and Harry in July of the following year, there are 10 months; unless pregnancies are shorter for witches (and nothing allows us to conclude that), it would be hard to believe).

The physical aspect also is against the theory - Hermione does not look like James nor Lilly.

And I don't have all the arguments here, but there were better ones against the sibling theory.

Finally, as already said in previous posts, JKR has already stated that she was not writing a wizard Star Wars.

So I don't think we have to worry about that. Harry and Hermione are not related. This sibling theory, IMO, have been thought by Choco/Herons who wanted to explain why Harry and Hermione are going along so well and care so much for each other with another explanation than love.

OTP all the way!

Nothing will make me abandon H/Hr.

Miss Mady

I'd abandon it if JKR wrote it and it was really bad. We've all heard stories of Herons who weren't that happy with the Ron and Hermione stuff of HBP. If Hermione continues on that way, I'd rather see her locked in an embrace with the Giant Squid (minus bubble-headed charm) than with Harry.

If H/Hr is made canon but is reduced to Chest Monster meets Attack of the Killer Canaries, then I don't want any part of it.

The Luke/Leia aspect yeah.... I'd stop cause then it'd be EW. O_o

but I wouldn't ship Hr/R! Never! R/L forever dag nabit!! Same with G/D!!

Before DH if JK comes out and says it won't be H/HR

AFter DH if H/HR don't happen...I guess I'm not a hardcore shipper, it's just how I think the books will happen..(or should, if JK is as good of a writer as I think she is..)

I never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never will desert this ship. I will come to this site even after the Book comes out even if it doesn't end H/hr.

Matchmakerharmony84 I love that reply! I am completely with you on that!!! I will never give up on H/Hr no matter what. As long as there is a portkey, I will be here..I wish i had found this site sooner!! But atleast i found it

The most that happen is they find out they're very distant cousins. James is pureblood, Lily is muggle born. Hermione is the first witch in her family; and I doubt any Granger is/was related to a Dursley or Potter.

*But maybe the Potters and Weasleys are related. Both are purebloods so it's couldn't happen. Plus that'll get rid of H/G

Need I say more? This sums up my opinion nicely.

I voted for the if Harry/Hermione become siblings or something. Because then all canon would knock out canon true fanfiction

But I really doubt JK is doing this. I never believed that Heron propaganda to begin with.

Anyway, other than that I will always believe that Harry and Hermione are the best type of relationship for romance. It will forever be my preferred ship

I voted that I would never abandon H/Hr.

And I feel that way for the simple fact that if they somehow turned out to be related (gross) I would have considered the series to have ended at OoTP. Therefore I would IGNORE HBP and DH. That's extremely, extremely unlikely anyway so...




I like the way you think, ha! There's a much greater chance of the Potter's and Weasley's being related than Harry somehow being related to Hermione.

Related? Ah the old Jedi torpedo (makes certain there's no question that it's Han/Leia in the movies by way of amking Luke and Leia related). Somehow I doubt JK would stopp to that level.

I still have a good idea it will be H/Hr before the end (though I might just be deluding myself, admittedly) and even if it isn't....that's what this site is for!

I used to write fanfiction in the Ranma 1/2 domain (thankfully none of it still exists, man those stories were bad). Though the canon pairing is Ranma/Akane (the writer, Rumiko Takahashi, has said as much) one is just as likely to find stories pairing Ranma with his other fiances, or his female half with any of the male characters, or any other number of ships despite that fact. I imagine the same will happen with Harry Potter. No matter how things turn out in DH, the other ships will still sail brightly into the sunset (well, almost every ship, I have an unhealthy dislike for anything slash).

That said, the HMS Pumpkin Pie will have me as a stowaway for quite some time. Though I may dabble in the darkside occasionally, I'll always come back to the light.

Other. They'd have to give me a labotomy and reprogram my consciousness:

R/HR AND H/G ALL THE WAY...HA...HA...HA

I had the WORST dream last night!!! It was exactly that...I was watching a morning television program and the reporter said "Well, it's official, JKRowling has just come out and said that Harry and Hermione will never be together. That settles that." I freaked out! My stomach just dropped and I went straight into 'denial' mood. I promptly jumped on the computer to see everyone else's reaction and to get some support for my absolute heartbreak. Of course, I couldn't get to anyone I knew (stupid dream) and I was left alone and thinking "No, it can't be R/Hr, it can't." Then my mind flew through all of the wonderful Harmonians who have kept me sane. Caina, Kate J, brown, bama, etc.

So, anyhoo... Good news is that my dream showed me, for a fact, that I am 100% sure it will be H/Hr in the end. Even though I sometimes get nervous or anxious, my true self KNOWS it will end up with Harmony.

The bad news is... DH is still 4 months away and my attempts to curb my H/Hr spiralling out of control is not going as well as planned. I can not think too hard about it when I'm awake (for fear of crying and having a panic attack - yes, been there already), but I really can't control my dreams.

It's gonna be a bumpy 4 months. It's "go time", though and I'm going straight out to sea, sailing on calm waters with my fellow Harmonians. All I need is a nice chair, some suntan oil and a Pina Colada...Anchors away!

Man, don't we deserve it?
