I don't think Rowling can afford to put a lengthy mushy romance for Harry... it's gonna go to Ron and Hermione. This is the last book, their relationship buildup from the past stories will reach there.

Harry would be more focused on facing Voldemort and getting rid of him once and for all than thinking about romance, IMHO.

Yup, she hooked them up pretty darn quick in book six!

Not to mention how Snape and Draco would fit in to the whole picture of it all. And Regulus and Wormtail. And Neville. He's practically foreshadowed as an important role.

I think a lot of hardcore H/G fans overestimate Ginny, like predicting that she will be the key to defeating Voldemort in 7, or a big romantic saga between her and Harry. On the other side of the spectrum, Ginny haters are just hoping she’ll die a pathetic death, ultimately unloved by Harry(who finds happiness with Hermione, Luna, or, I dunno…The Squid).Well they’re wrong of course; Ginny will *definitely* play a role in the battle. JKR already said that we will see more impressive stuff from her.

I do think there will be romantic interaction between them, though it will probably not be as big as the conclusion of the Ron/Hermione story. What I feel about Ginny is, she’s not simply ‘Ron’s sister who was briefly Harry’s girlfriend and’. She is *the* girl, the one who was there all along, *the* love interest, being built up for that role from her first appearance. Harry’s statement of “I wish I had asked you sooner, we could have had ages…” shows that he was thinking along the same lines, aka ‘I wish I could’ve realized sooner that you were *the* girl’
But back to Ginny’s role. Love is the series’ foundation, the key to defeating Voldy, and Harry will find it in ALL his loved ones, not just Ginny… Ron, Hermione, DA et al=love from friends, The Weasley = love from family. Ginny would equal romantic love.

What I don’t get is why everyone is so upset by it :P Some fans are disturbed by the idea that the big romance of Book 7 will be between Ron and Hermione, the hero’s sidekick’s romance, rather than his own. Haters are sneering at the thought that there probably won’t be any cuddletime between the two, no time for a ‘proper’ relationship and if there won’t, then hooking them up in Book 6 was useless(as if he could juggle romance and Voldemort if he were with any other girl).
What I’m sure of is that the H/G story was left hanging, they still have feelings for each other, and it needs to be resolved. I only hope it doesn’t end with the death of one of them

But Harry already had his romance in Book 6. @.@ He has to look for the other magical stuff that has Voldemort's pieces of his soul, he has to make resolutions with the people he hates, he has to find resolution to the people who died (I have a strange feeling the Potters and Sirius would at least say their last hurrah) and to fight the big bad wizard himself.

I can't see how romance in his part can fit in, honestly. Ron and Hermione would take precedence in this.

I agree with Anti here. I think that at the end of the book Harry and Ginny will hook back up, now that the reason he broke up with her is gone.
And us RonxHermione fans need a good ending too! :fist:

Erm, you mean you can't see them making romantic interaction at all?
I mean Voldemort's weakness is love after all. I think that Harry will find strength in the people who loves him, that his ability to love really is a 'big deal' as he called it in HBP. And Ginny's definitely one of those people. She's gotta at least go through one crisis with him, or be in one battle...JKR said we (and therefore Harry, since the books are from his POV) will see her again in action, right?
I'm holding out for a dance at Bill and Fleur's wedding, at least!

I was thinking it would be cute if the epilogue scene JKR mentioned would be their wedding, with Harry and Ginny as the best man and maid of honor. :P No, I didn't pull that out of nowhere, JKR has said that there will be two couples who will get married.
...But she also said it will be "a student"(Fleur with Bill, of course) and "a teacher", so we'll prolly see Tonks and Lupin get married instead.

On the final chapter of Book 7:
Quote:
 
"This is the thing that I was very dubious about showing you... (T)his is the final chapter of book seven. This is really where I wrap everything up, it's the epilogue. And I basically say what happens to everyone after they leave school - those who survive - because there are deaths - more deaths coming. It was a way of saying to myself,"Well you will get it, you will get to book seven one day. And then you'll need this!" So I'd just like to remind all the children I know who come around my house and start sneaking into cupboards that it's not there anymore - I don't keep it at home anymore for very, very, very obvious reasons. So there it is."

She is going to kill again?!?! @.@ Will Rowling ever stop?!

*is emo*

Seriously, though, I wonder who're the characters waiting for the chopping board. Hagrid? Wormtail? Draco? Myrtle (though that may be redundant but who knows)?

Someone Else's Life
HARRY:
We’re at the beginning’s end
And there are things that I must do
Face my destiny alone
Teach myself to be brave without you.

You’re stronger than you look, my love
I’ll say it’s to keep you safe from harm
But the truth is, we both know
My thoughts of you will keep me armed

If I wasn’t a marked man
Or had some other name
We’d save ourselves the pain of parting
Leave the world for someone else to save.

If I only could have my way
We’d never say goodbye
But things don’t ever turn out like I plan.
It’s been like something out of
Someone else’s life.
I will come home
More in love with you than I began.

GINNY:
I know that there’s a path ahead
There is a road that you must take
I cannot help you on the way
But I’ll promise you that I can wait

I understand why you must go
There’s a hero that you’re meant to be
Please, don’t kiss me one last time
And I will let you walk away from me.

If I could help the way I felt
We’d never play this game
We’d save ourselves the pain of parting
Leave the world for someone else to save.

If I only could have my way
We’d never say goodbye
But things don’t ever turn out like I plan.
It’s been like something out of
Someone else’s life,
These days with you,
And I will never love another man.

TOGETHER:
The enemy can’t hurt me
As long as you’re okay
I’ll give away my happiness
If it gives us one more sunlit day

If I could only have my way
We’d never say goodbye
But things don’t ever turn out like we plan
It’s been like something out of
Someone else’s life
Till (I/you) come home
I’ll do my best to brave this empty hand…
(You/I) know (I/you) understand…
(Will you ever/I will never)
Love another man


...no, I didn't make that up. You can hear it here It's by a band called The House Elf Project, and it's classification is, wizard rock.
Yup, you heard me right. Apparently, Harry Potter has spawned a music genre. :o

Hello. I saw that it has been awhile since anyone posted in this thread. I thought I would update it some. So that being said, I was curious with how everyone felt now that the last book is over. Did the last book live up to what you hoped in regards to Harry/Ginny and Ron/ Hermione?

First off I should say about myself that I am not a die hard Orange Crush fan, I am sorta a H/Hr shipper (gasp I know). I just loved Harry and Hermione since book one and even though I knew they wouldn't be together, I still enjoy the ship. Hey that is what fanfiction is for, right. Rest assure, I am not here to start a debate. I like Ron/Hermione and Harry/Ginny too....just not as much as Harry/Hermione.

Anyways back to the topic, I must say that I did enjoy Ron and Hermione in the last book. I was a little bit put off that Ron had to use a book to learn how to understand Hermione, but I guess that is just Ron for you. :P Otherwise, I enjoyed them. Harry and Ginny, I must say was missing something for me. I really wish JK Rowling explored more of their relationship or built it up some more in the earlier books; like she did with Ron and Hermione. I would have really loved to have seen Ginny tell Harry that she loved him or vice versa. Since book one, I have always wanted to see someone hold Harry and tell them that they loved him. Ah well. At least I know they are married for 19 years. You can't be married that long without love, right.

So yeah...what was your favorite Orange Crush moments in the last book?

I was actually really satisfied by HxG in the last book. She waited patiently for him, and Harry wasn't totally obsessed with the thought of her, but I did think the fact that he watched her dot on the Map was really touching.
I was dissapointed by a lack of Ginny hardcoreness. She spent the last battle hiding in the Room of Requirement >.<

But OMFG, RxH was PERFECT. It was so cute and funny that Ron started using a BOOK of all things to win Hermione xD It was nice to see him treating her well though, 'sabout time! And the kiss was fantastic
