I didn't know where to put this up, so sorry if this is the wong place.I just wanted to state that this shippy -thing is getting kind of annoying. wait i take that back,it is not "kind of" annoying it is very much annoying.Firstly, i think we all have underestimated freindship.Why does a beautuful,healthy freindship have to turn into love?!i am not only talking about h/hr but also r/hr. why isn't friendship satisfactory?in fact i believe friendship to be more pwerful in this case, especiall they trio's. I envy whta harry ron and herm have got, and it will be a shame to break that to end up one of the two as a couple. seriously how can harry 'n herm or herm n' ron be possibly be more happy with each other only?i ma tired of discussions about who herm's gonna end up with!if u ask me, everyone should end up with ppl outside the, getting maried with each other is not worth the loss of that amazing freindship.there is no possible way the trio will be as happy as they are now if any of the two hook up.i don't know what J.K is up to and how she is gonna end the books but i hope none end up together...if she does that than as an avid and faithful fan, i'll have to accept it....what other choice do i have...

humm...I understand what your saying cuz it makes sence, but we hope that they will cuz the look like they would be good together, I dont think it would break up there friendship though cuz there great friends, if Harry and hermione get together i think Ron would be upset for a while but get over it, and same if its R/Hr. They will still be best friends and help each other out if H/Hr or R/Hr happens, but hey thats what i think....but i dont really no if this belongs here though

MOD NOTE: No, it doesn't. Am temporarily going to move this over the General HP Discussion forum.

And hermaria, you might want to cut down on the netspeak. It's against Portkey's Forum Rules.

Great points Gil.

I just want to add that almost everyone grows out of their childhood friendships anyway, and to have a deep and meaningful and lasting loving relationship, means that you make your signifigant other (whomever they may be) more important to you than anyone else. You two become one. (This isn't to say you don't keep your friendships, but there is a marked change in any friendship once the two, or three, or however many are involved with other people)

Whether or not the trio hooks up with each other, or someone outside their tight-knit group, this evolution will happen.

We here are mostly H/Hr shippers because we want to see that evolution take place within the trio. We recognize the deep respect, and love that H/Hr already have, and we would like to see that continue.

We aren't undervaluing their friendship. We're hoping to invest more deeply in it. As Gil pointed out...friendship is a form of love. We want to see that continue and grow. I believe we are seeing exactly that.

**Literally, Wow, you're really good, idol! A better translation would be: Wow, your reasoning is so good, idol [Gil]!

I like Harry and Hermione as a couple and as friends. Because I am a huge romantic, I tend to pair them up a lot because I think they would be (are) a beautiful couple. But I wouldn't want their romantic relationship to interfere with their friendship with each other and with Ron. And, if I had to choose, I would choose to keep the friendship intact because I enjoy it so much. But I do rather enjoy imagining a world where a romantic relationship between Harry and Hermione can exist without disrupting the trio's friendship.

That said, I wouldn't mind at all if Harry and Hermione didn't "hook up" and instead remained friends at the end of the novel. I just get the hives when I think of them getting romantically involved with other people.
