Ron and Hermione... Harry and Ginny...one big, happy Weasley family, or Harry's Creek?
I was sure the pairing was going to happen, I didn't ship it (I guess I'm too old to ship a teenager pairing), but I didn't mind either. Then came HBP and the horrible nightmare creature Ginny has become. Ginny hast been turned into a Mary Sue, accompanied by the dumbing down of Hermione and disappearance of Luna. I wish JKR had used a "Show, not tell" approach, let us see this true love develop, instead of just declaring it, just as suddenly as Ron declaring his undying love for Romilda, instead of having Quarterback/Head Cheerleader, Celeb/Supermodel shoved down our throats as the "ideal romance".
And the jealous, possessive, raging monster growing in Harry's chest...no no no. I'm pretty certain they won't last, at least I hope so, for letting twu wuv develop out of it would be just as realistic as McGonagall working in a peep show.
JKR did a much much better job with Ron and Hermione, I think.
In the words of a thread in another forum:
Harry and Ginny: Even George Lucas is laughing at you!
