like slash shippers need an excuse to be taken fucking seriously. BEST SHIP NAME EVER IF I WEREN'T SO VIOLENTLY REPULSED BY THE IDEA OF POTTER/MALFOY IN ANY INCARNATION I WOULD BE ALL OVER IT
ps: FUCK YEAH HARRY/LUNA FOR LIFE, I am so with you on the Ginny thing. Somebody actually accused me of not liking her for wailing on Zacharias Smith, and I was like, "uh, did you miss the part where she's a fucking crazy bitch?"
Then again, said person accusing me was like Ginny Weasley made flesh themselves, so. Criiiiiinge.
God, totally. Luna could kick more ass than Hermione and Ginny put together in a pinch. I fully believe that Nargles would come to her aid, too.
I just have nothing but outright disgust at this point for Ginny. Just. Everything she does I find completely unappealing, and there's never any explanation for why Harry likes her, EVER - whereas he's constantly drawn to Luna over and over, and spends 2/3 of his time holding hands with Hermione. I DON'T KNOW ANY SIBLINGS WHO HOLD HANDS THAT MUCH, I'M JUST SAYING.
THEY SAY SHIT LIKE OH ISN'T SHE SO HOT AND AWESOME AND COOL, YEAH. Harry has been swayed by the talk, I'm convinced of it. lsdfj ew Harry/Hermione. I LIKE PLATONIC TRIO tyvm, but yes, even Hermione was a better choice than Ginny. God. FUCKING CRAZY! It just defies logic.
Exactly, he and Luna had the weirdest connection. I'm pretty sure she did that on purpose, to show that Harry had the chemistry with all the other girls, he just CHOSE Ginny, but... god, why would you? Can you imagine he and Luna getting married? Ultimate precious.
Hello, Regulus Black was in Slytherin. Why is everyone forgetting?
whether it be the DA's choice to decorate the Room of Requirement with every house flag except Slytherin's.
Neville points out that when he got there it only had a Gryffindor banner. The room just automatically added house banners when someone from that house joined in.
i didn't forget, i just didn't equate "he WAS a DE but recanted" with "clearly good". perhaps i should say "ENTIRELY good" :)) - i didn't lump snape in with the good guys either.
I know that slytherins didn't join in, but then honestly, would they have been allowed to join if they'd tried? of course not. That doesn't alter the fact that it's a visual, noticeably symbolic ostracism.
I do agree with you that he's far less morally ambiguous in the end than Snape, which is half again why Kreacher's Tale was, I think, my favorite chapter, because it said so much about the strength of both of them.
and I'm not really taking it too seriously, I'm just deconstructing the text, which is, I think, a perfectly reasonable way to read it, especially given that it's such an obvious repudiation of the Sorting Hat song all by itself.
I. *waves hands* Yes, I think I've lost all coherency here, but, really, all I keep thinking helplessly is: Oh, HP fandon, I've missed you! over and over again. And I have a lot of fic ideas running around because JK has given us a lot more backstory and, essentially, ninteen years before the epilogue to root around in.
I was still rooting for Harry/Luna right until Harry glanced at Ginny at the end before the epilogue. I mean, I knew it would end up het, of course it would, but I still think Ginny was a terrible choice for Harry, and one that JK made because it was easiest and, I think a little, because Ginny looks like his mother. Not a very convincing argument. :(
I cried through Snape's death and the pensieve chapter that followed. Whenever I reread them, I get all morose. Oh, Snape. JK never really realised what she was getting into when she created you, did she?
ASS makes me think of a goddamned donkey. Bah

hahahaha, i can't help thinking she didn't realize what she was getting into when she created Draco, either! ALL HER BAFFLED ATTEMPTS TO EXPLAIN TO US THAT WE JUST LIKE HIM BECAUSE TOM FELTON IS HOT. HER ATTEMPTS TO THWART ARE ATTRACTION AT THE END BY GIVING HIM A RECEDING HAIRLINE! HOW WE MUST AMAZE HER SO
( ... )
Oh, JK. The receding hairline line cracked me up because it was, like, completely useless information. Okay, yes, his hairline is receding. Where does he stand in wizarding society? Does he actually have to work for a living know? Who the bloody hell is his wife, even?
