What about Harry?

[AJRoald]

So, who does our scarred hero belong with? I'm not a huge Harry shipper, and I've heard arguements both ways stating he belongs with either Ginny or Hermione, so what's your opinion?

[samantha2074]

I feel strange writing this on this particular board, but I think Harry and Ginny might not actually be a bad pair. They have some shared experiences and interests, and she's willing to give him a strict talking to when he needs it.

I have trouble seeing Hermione with either Ron or Harry because they often mock her intellectual interests while she bemoans their obsession with Quidditch. While they'll grow out of this to a certain extent, I don't think she has enough in common with either of the other two to sustain a long-term relationship although they have a great friendship.

I don't have any favorite pairings in the HP universe. I can easily see both Harry and Ginny with people other than each other.

Harry belongs with Luna. When her character was introduced, it was the first time I ever felt strongly about shipping him with anyone. They just work for me.

[AJRoald]

I second aikakone, and also felt that out of all the HP female characters, she might 'be the one'. While Ginny can give Harry a stern lecture, Luna made Harry feel not quite so 'abnormal' or 'crazy'.

While I don't dismiss the idea of Ginny with Harry (canon version), I really hope JKR throws the readers a curve ball and have them not end up together , despite all the apparent signs.

Harry and Hermione are just wrong for each other, wrong I tell you! *laughing*.

That's a good point. I just worry that Harry doesn't/won't appreciate Luna enough. I love her character and think she deserves someone who can recognise her wisdom and accept the rest.

I'm going to say Luna, even though I don't... really... know... why.

I really don't like Harry (funny thing to say, I suppose) as he's rather a stuck-up little muffinhead. I know that's likely to change, but Luna is one of my favorite female characters and it's hard to try and ship something when you don't like one half of the couple.

If Harry decided to get over his teen-angst!phase and actually be a "nice guy", I could see him with Luna.

(Come to think of it, though, Harry's never been the nicest of guys. He's constantly bent on revenge or something.)

Eh. I don't know.

Him and Luna seem like such a cute couple but I ship Neville/Luna.

If anyone, I'd probably put Harry with Susan Bones. She's there. She's cute, I'm guessing. She works for me.

I love the Harry/Luna interaction.

I kind of see it panning out as (if she puts everyone in pairings)

RW/HG, GW/NL, HP/LL

Ack! I can't figure out if I cast my vote. I may have accidentally voted for Ginny.

But....I'm with many in saying that Harry should be with Luna. This pair is my OTP for canon - which is saying something for me because I don't ship in canon. Ever since I read that Harry/Luna conversation at the time of the Leaving Feast in OotP, I knew I wanted Luna with Harry. Luna could handle Harry's moodiness and keep him grounded.

[NiennaSilimaure]

I don't ship in canon

me either, thats what I read fanfic for.

who does he belong with?? honestly, no one. i prefer Luna with Neville just cuz when they first met on the train, he looked afraid of her or something. something could really build from that, and Hermione is 100000000000000% with Ron; I just don't like Harry that i could see him with anyone. he's too...grr I just can't stand him. so when he dies, he'll die alone. oh well. sucks to be him i guess.
