Who will Harry end up with?

[George Bushs 18th cousin]

Well? I personally am rooting for Ginny.

[LOTRfan]

I didn't think Ginny at first...I always thought she and Neville would be cute together. But in the 5th book there were alot of times where Harry was starting to realize how "cool" Ginny was. He was accepting she's no longer "so young" and "Ron's little sis." There's also the fact she's no longer infatuated with him so she doesn't act stupid around him. Also, there's always the connection that Harry saved her life. And Ron will probably only be comfortable with Harry dating Ginny. Then again it could be bad for Harry and Ron's friendship if something goes wrong. Otherwise it'd be really cool because Ron and Harry would be related if they ever got married. Then they'll be forced to keep in touch.

[hpk37067]

I like your thoughts LOTRfan. I would make sense that Ron would want Ginny to like Harry and eventually hook up with him because then their friendship can continue. But I think that it will probably be some random person that we will never know about until he gets married.

[Laterose]

I agree, maybe someone who doesn't immeadiately recognizes his scar

[LOTRfan]

Yea....that would probably be best for him. But she has to at least be a witch and know his story (who doesn't). It would be good though if she got to know him before she realizes who he is from the "famous story."

[Laterose]

Exactly. It would be wonderful for Harry.

[hpk37067]

A muggle wouldn't be so bad for Harry. I would have kinda liked it to be a muggle.

[Laterose]

Possibly...

[hpk37067]

Perhaps Dudley will get a girl, then Harry will use magic against Dudley and trap him, and then run away with the girl! Any thoughts?

[Laterose]

forget it

[hpk37067]

Ah, just joshing around.

[Laterose]

good

Hmm.. Dating best friend's sister.. Classic but usually never a good idea... I do not think Ron will accept that more...probably less... It is just a bad idea:)

Ginny will not end up with Harry. No body ends up with their crushes.

[sone]

Just my opinion. She thinks more of him than she does Ron.

[Tim37ninjageniu]

I think Harry is too independent to hook up with anyone permenantly. Im sure he will date and hook up occasionally but i dont think harry will find his soul mate at HOgwarts. Not with everything else he has to worry about. But if anyone I say Ginny.

[hpk37067]

Ginny probably is the most likely but I think Harry will die so that defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

[Tim37ninjageniu]

yes it does but who do you think he will hook up with before that

[ElysiumFirefly]

Choices...choices...

1. Hermione- her and Harry are perfect for one another. She'll do anything for him, and he needs her to a point where I don't even think he knows.

2. Nobody- It just seems as Harry says in book 5, that he just kind of wants to be alone a lot. He's a bit of a loner and I can see that becoming more evident in book 6 and 7. He's kind of a Luke Skywalker deal, can't be with anyone because he has too much that he feels he must do alone.

3. Luna- She and Harry seem to have a certain understanding, lot's of similarities if you ask me. And she's from Ravenclaw, which is sweet.

4. Somebody we don't know about yet

5. Ginny- I'm really not hoping for this one cause its WAY WAY too predictable. She crushes on him without really even knowing him. It's kiddy-stuff, and i don't think it will go anywhere. And Harry ending up with Ginny would make him and Ron like "real brothers" and that would be kind of stupid. Too predictable, too easy, we need some drama.

(snicker) This just made me crack up! :)

I remember, years and years ago, having to sit an old boyfriend of mine down, and tell him that *very* same thing. He had just turned 20, and I was barely 21, and I was his first real crush. I tried, to gently and with care, explain that that just didn't happen. You don't go and marry the first girl you fall in love with. It was ridiculous, out of the question, impossible.


(this Sept. 19th we will celebrate 16 years of marriage, and Halloween will be the 18th anniversary of the day we met, and yes, we still celebrate both days, and yes, he *still* likes to give me crap and tease me about the day we had "THE TALK") ;)

Kerry =)

[sone]

I honestly do not understand how anyone can see Harry and Ginny together. I mean has Harry really has not shown any real interest in Ginny at all. Where is this coming from on Harry's end?

[Tim37ninjageniu]

emotions change very fast when your a 16 year old boy. trust me I know from experience.

[hpk37067]

I heard that he is like ensured the HEAD BOY thing in seventh year.

[sone]

Well so do I. However, I have not seen anything to suggest that Harry likes Ginny in that way. I do not see how she is closer to him than Hermione.

[hpk37067]

Luna is a very likely character. Unless Ron urges Harry to like Ginny or something.

[Mobycat]

I'm wondering if that's possible now - after Dumbledore said he thought he already had enough going on.

I suppose Dumbledore could choose him for Head Boy as a sort of "correction" of his mistake - he did said Harry was much more than he expected.

[Kerry from Cali]

Sone, you're right. Harry *hasn't* shown the slightest interest whatsoever in Ginny, in any way *other* than that of friend. Right now, she's still very much "Ron's little sister", and he'd be no more interested in kissing and cuddling with her, then he would with Prof. McGonagall. I think the very idea would make him cringe.

All that being said, I still see the potential for the two of them becoming a romantic couple in the future. Can I offer any hard core, concrete evidence? Of course not. All I can rely on are the intangible things at my disposal. My instincts, my familiarity with certain formula writing, my own various romantic dealings, and past observation on human relationships. I've seen, in R/L, stuff like that happen all the time, especially when I was growing up and in school. I know it can be a volatile, highly charged time in a person's life. So in drawing from my own life experiences, I can see the "potential" for them to be a couple. And using those same experiences, I have to say that I don't believe that Harry and Hermione will *ever* be a couple. The body language is totally wrong, as is the total lack of interest on either part, when the opposite sex is concerned. Did you see Harry upset when Hermione was being paid all that attention by Krum? Nope, not a bit. He was too busy trying to look at Cho or Fleur. And as for Hermione having deeper feelings for Harry, she just smiled indulgently when he acted goofy over Fleur, (not something she felt inclined to let Ron slide on) and she didn't show any reaction that you'd expect her to, when Harry went out with Cho in #5. She gave him pointers and helped interpret "girl" for him. They are friends, in the truest, deepest sense of the word. It's a shame that the word is so over used, that people can't see the value it has all on it's own.

It's an opinion. It doesn't make it right. It doesn't make it wrong. It just makes it mine. :)

Kerry =)

[sone]

"Did you see Harry upset when Hermione was being paid all that attention by Krum? Nope, not a bit."

But Viktor did get upset at Hermione's interest in Harry. He could not get her attention off Harry after the Second Task. When he confronted Harry, he did not bring up the Skeeter articles but rather the fact that ""Hermy-own-ninny talks about you very often." It is interesting you bring up that point because I agree completely. He only started to take an interest in her when she was at the Yule Ball and that interest has been growing ever since. He lets her in almost more than anybody and I do not mean the "girl" talk.

"And as for Hermione having deeper feelings for Harry, she just smiled indulgently when he acted goofy over Fleur, (not something she felt inclined to let Ron slide on) and she didn't show any reaction that you'd expect her to, when Harry went out with Cho in #5."

That is because Hermione does not wear her emotions on her sleeves like Ron does. Harry was jealous of Cedric having Cho for a girlfriend but like Hermione does not his emotions out on his sleeves so no one really noticed. Of course she wasn't going to let Ron slide with goggling with Fleur. Not after the Yule Ball when..... what did Ron say to her when he was telling her off at the Yule Ball? Paraphrased, "you are consorting with the enemy", yet there goes Ron looking very hopeful for a kiss from Fleur. Fleur was not liked at all by Hermione in the first place and she never said anything before even when she knew that Ron liked Fleur.

"She gave him pointers and helped interpret 'girl' for him. They are friends, in the truest, deepest sense of the word. It's a shame that the word is so over used, that people can't see the value it has all on it's own."

Quite right Kerry. However, Hermione giving Harry "girl" advice is not what I use as evidence for their growing relationship. It is her mannerisms. The "slight frown", the "business like" attitude.

I might have already said this but either way....

Note this: This is the second time someone was jealous of Harry and Hermione's relationship.

[sone]

One more point. I also believe that Hermione thinks that Harry does not like her. To be honest, I want to know what she was writing to Viktor, that took up so much parchment.

[Laterose]

Who knows, probably just unloading some emotion

[hpk37067]

I wonder if she went to Bulgaria or not. Remember when Krum asked her?

[Glordreen]

Its going to be Hermoine, I just know it is.

[George Bushs 18th cousin]

Originally posted by hpk37067

I think she was with the Order all Summer so I'm guessing no.

[hpk37067]

Yeah, probably. I wonder if Durmstrang will play a big role in the future. Right now, it looks like the books are making it so that the only place Voldemort is at is in Britian and the rest of the world is safe.

[LOTRfan]

Originally posted by hpk37067

Yea I used to think Harry was a shoe-in for the honor but after the 5th I'm not so sure. Remember Ron's overpowering desire to be Head Boy in the 1st book? It looks like it's beginning to come true. I wanted Harry to be Head Boy but it seems more important to Ron.

[sone]

Not if Harry is made prefect in the sixth year. If not, then Ron will undoubtedly be Head Boy.

[Laterose]

Most likely...or he could share the position with Draco...interesting.

[hpk37067]

Do you have to be a prefect to be Head Boy?

[sone]

Yes.

[Laterose]

absolutely

[Willowisp]

Here is a thought.. Has anyone thought about what this might mean for the future of the series..

On the way back form Hogwarts in the last book, Ginny tells the rest of the gang that she is no longer seeing Michael Corner and Ron replies:

"Well, I always thought he was a bit of an idiot," he said, proding his queen forwards towards Harry's quivering Castle. "Good for you. Just choose someone -- better -- next time."
He gave Harry an oddly furtive look as he said it.

Now correct me if I am wrong, but it seems like Rowling might be hinting at something. Something I really don't want to see... But still... Could be a hint of things to come... :confused:

:applaud: :clown: :applaud:

[sone]

Yeah, she is hinting. Well not actually hinting. Ron thinks Harry should go out with Ginny. Ron is too protective to approve of anyone else in Ginny's life. But Harry and Ginny did not take any real notice.

[hpk37067]

Ron thinks anyone who is not his close friend is worthy of suspicion. Harry can be trusted and Ron would like that.

[Kerry from Cali]

Originally posted by LOTRfan

Which is a *good* thing, because as someone else pointed out, they could never have a relationship with her "hero worship" in the way. Ginny didn't know the real Harry, to be able to be in love with him. Now that she's gotten over that part, she can love him as a real person, warts and all. (just a saying, meaning nobody's perfect)

And I kind of thought Ron was hoping for her to hook up with Harry too, (in book #5) with the fervent looks he was giving, but his reasoning for that could be,:

1) he doesn't want Ginny dating anyone. period. :)

2) if she *had* to date someone, he wants it to be someone he can trust. He wouldn't think his friend would put any moves on his little sister.
:hehe: :lol: ;) umm... that doesn't always work out that way, though. ;)

Kerry =)

[hpk37067]

Yes, right now Ginny is an anomaly, for lack of better words, for Harry's love. Luna understands him the most though so she is still a top contender.

[George Bushs 18th cousin]

Just a thought... A lot of the events in Harry's life seem to be the past repeating itself. His life is a lot like his fathers...and I would just like to point out the resembelence between Lily Evans and Ginny.

[redman]

Does anyone think that ron will have a relationship with hermione? If u follow formula's from other movies and stories, usually it's the ppl who argue and disagree the most that end up together.

That's far too predictable for Rowling.

I think it's obvious Ron cares about Hermione in a more than friends way...the problem is, I don't think Hermione feels that way about him...I think in the end they will stay just friends.

[redman]

I hope so, it would be so irritating to have a sub plot devoted to a relationship like that. I just thought of it cause the signs were there.

I *loved* Luna! I hope she has a much bigger part in #6. She was fun, smarter then people gave her credit for, and didn't give a crap what people thought about her.

Kerry =)

[sone]

Redman, it is amazing to me that people can see Harry with everyone except Hermione. Even Luna, who actually likes Ron far more than Harry. Even Ginny, who Harry has never given the slighest notion that he likes her. Hell, to be honest, it would nice if Tonks was a few years younger.

Holy God, yes!!! There's been reams of stuff on those two on this board. You could do a search and in put, "ron and hermione" and see what you come up with. Some are dead set on it, some just as sure they wont. ;)

For myself, I've always thought they'd be together, but it will take time for that to happen. :)

[Eido]

Originally posted by redman

True enough, but for me, it's that sort of obviousness about Ron/Hermione which makes me feel they *won't* end up together in the end. I'm not sure it's JKR's nature to follow on such a predictable route or at least follow that route for very long.

I wouldn't be at all surprised Ron/Hermione and Harry/Ginny possibly going on a few dates - probably in Book 6.... but then, JKR goes in entirely different romantic directions for all the characters before the end of Book 7.

[tomoyo_angel21]

Im still contemplating on it guys...:confused: but I still go for Cho. Eventhough she doesn't directly show her feelings to Harry, she still has this affectionate kind of way in showing her crush on, or should I say feelings towards Harry. :applaud:

[hpk37067]

Cho is really weird. All she wanted to do with Harry was talk about Cedric. Harry would have probably dumped her in the end saying that she was just hot, nothing more. And I agree with Eido, the Ron/Hermoine relationship is too obvious and JKR would never take the quick way or predictable way into the books.

[redman]

just makin sure.

[Laterose]

with the Ron/Hermione thing....
it could happen ;)

[hpk37067]

Of course it could happen. Why don't you just tell us in that other thread and if you are wrong, we are going to run you out of town, or atleast the forums.

[Laterose]

listen, I'm not 100% sure, and she could use one of two or three formulas. I'm only guessing which one she's using.

[hpk37067]

Oh, I see.

[Laterose]

Yeah, so that's why I'm serious when I say it COULD happen, not that it WILL happen.

[Iben]

I never really believed that Harry would end up with Cho, and I still don’t see them having the slightest chance. For one, Cho is the popular girl, she’s pretty and she could probably get any date she wanted. JK seems to be more fond of the unpopular kids, or at least those who dare to be different and unique, I don’t think she’d ever let the main character end up with the popular girl, it’s just not her style. And two: Cho is still obsessing about Cedric, she was using Harry to get information about him and maybe even to get over Cedric, I just don’t think it worked for her. I don’t see Harry being with someone as emotional unstable as Cho, he couldn’t deal with her crying all the time and it seemed that he liked her less and less after their date.
I’m hoping that Harry and Ginny will end up together, Ginny has developed a lot since the second book where she was this little girl with a crush on Harry and I think maybe Harry will open his eyes and see that she’s not just Ron’s little sister anymore.

[hpk37067]

So right on Iben. Cho is just too perfect to be with Harry. Harry needs someone who doesn't just cry in front of him the entire time.

[Laterose]

coughLUNAcough

[hpk37067]

I'm sorry. What was that laterose?

[Laterose]

Luna. She's different, obviously not going to cry over bunny rabbits and appears not to care too much about Harry's scar

[hpk37067]

Yeah, and Harry said that he felt a little better after he talking to Luna at the end of OOTP.

[Meredith]

i think that harry will realize that he loves Hermione and they will end up together. It's obvious that she likes him

[hpk37067]

I don't know. He hasn't really expressed any feelings for Hermoine, as he hasn't *really* felt emotionally attached to above a mere friend. We're not going to talk about Cho. She's weird. Hermoine will probably end up with someone different.

[Mobycat]

IF Hermoine doesn't end up with Ron, I predict she will end up with a muggle.

[Martinnyg]

I don't think Harry is going to end up with anyone with that prophecy hanging over his head, he has enough to think about. And he wont walk around trying to get dates. And because I don't think he wont survive the series (read my theory in the how would you end book 7 topic) I don't think he'll end up with anyone.

On the other hand I do think Ron and Hermione will get together. And will stay together rest of their lives, however short they easily can turn out to be. They even remind Harry of Mr. and Mrs. Weasley.

[LOTRfan]

yes i do recall that statement. J.K. is very fond of foreshadowing and hinting...as long as she's not laying clues purposefully to mislead us. That's not her style. i think we are meant to think Ron/Hermione for one reason or another. It's better for her to lay foundations for it now than for it to just "happen" by the 7th book. I think the real mystery is who Harry ends up with *if he lives, of course*

[hpk37067]

I think she said that Harry may not survive just to keep people guessing until book 7 comes out.

[sone]

"He hasn't really expressed any feelings for Hermoine, as he hasn't *really* felt emotionally attached to above a mere friend."

Actually he has and it is growing.

[hpk37067]

Explain. I don't see where he has expressed feelings for anyone, besides Sirius of course, as more than a friend.

[Laterose]

He saved her when she wasn't his hostage

[hpk37067]

That's because he was thick. He didn't know that Dumbledore wouldn't put them in any real danger. He cared for her as a best friend and that's why he tried to save her.

[Laterose]

You aren't being very willing are you?

[hpk37067]

I don't understand.

[Laterose]

You're fighting everything I say. Just agree with me once and awhile, alright?

[hpk37067]

But I don't agree. At least not with the Hermoine thing.

[Laterose]

Alright, I agree with you there. I'm just pointing out someone else's opinion....can you agree with me on anything?

[hpk37067]

Yeah. I can agree that you have some insight on the books to come. I can agree that lots of your opinions are correct. Happy?

Harry didn't save Hermione during the second task. He only stayed with her until he was sure that Krum would get there. Although he was willing to save her if Krum neveer showed up, but he was also willing to save Cho (who he had a crush on) and Gabrille(sp?) Delacour (who he didn't even know). As Hermione said near the end of the book Harry has a hero complex, he feels the need to save everyone.

I agree Nymphadorda Tonks would be a good match for Harry. First off they both have lived with Muggles most of there lives, Nymphadora's father is a muggle and Harry was raised by his Muggle Aunt and Uncle.

I don't believe she is too old for him. Harry seems to have grown-up alot since the end of #4 and many of the students at Hogwarts seem to immature for him. In this case somone more mature would be good for him. She is also only about 21/22 years old (graduate Hogwarts at 17/18 + 3 years Auror training + she has only been an Auror for 1 year). Since wizards seem to live for a long time (dumbledore seems close to 100) 6/7 years isn't that bad.

[Laterose]

Another thing we can agree on. Tonks would be perfect for Harry just because they seem to have a similarity is parentage and stuff.

[Tim37ninjageniu]

I just reread the book and if you read the end chapter carefully you can see that Harry starts to show feelings toward Luna. They can certainly identify with her on many things and they opened up to each other. He said that she helped him feel better and doesn't care about Cho anymore.

[sone]

He shows pity for Luna (who wouldn't, that is terrible what they do to her things) and she makes him feel better, because she keeps his hope alive he can see Sirius again.

[hpk37067]

They seem to be some kind of kindred spirits. They lost the people they love dearly and can even hear them because they have seen death. She can understand what Harry is going through because it also happened to her.

[Snickerbar]

personally, i think that he will end up with luna, but after reading this thread i'm noticing a weird sort of triangle..... luna likes rons who likes hermione who likes harry who likes luna...

[HeadHunter]

well it definetly aint going to be Cho any more.....

and it seems Ginny's crush for Harry has been re-ignited (I think **Read it in the book**)

Luna could be an iteresting choice but that might be a odd-ball one that only time will tell

[sone]

I can't see Harry and Luna.....yet. For one, they better have more in common than experiencing death. Cute, but not romance. Furthermore, Luna is going to have to get over Ron. If Hermione said the things Luna said about Ron, no one would care what type of conversation she and Harry had, they would believe wholeheartedly in Ron and Hermione only.

Speaking of which, I don't mind Ron and Hermione at all. I do however mind their bickering. I do not care how much they like each other, when you are squabbling so much you are causing other people to be pissed off, then there is a problem. It would help if they're arguments were more significant than something like who disarmed the other the most times.

[Laterose]

they have to hide the fact that they like each other

[sone]

Even if that were true, I still do not like it. It's quite annoying nor is it positive.

[sone]

Besides, you think they stop arguing by now. They would have to know that they thoroughly hidden it from Harry and each other.

[hpk37067]

It might cause a dent in their friendship if Ron and Hermoine got together since they are kinda the best of friends.

[sone]

Look at the people that Hermione has taken a interest in. She does not talk about or to them the way she talks about Ron. She talks about more like she talks about or to Harry.

[hpk37067]

Ron and Harry are like her best friends though and she has to talk to them.

so it was in the book...well nver mind i am in the midst of reading it again so i am sure i will find out soon

I've read SS so many times the book sucks now.

[HeadHunter]

hmm...well....it aint to me :)

[Laterose]

don't read it so much then

[hpk37067]

Yeah, I stopped. I gotta stop rereading books.

[Laterose]

yeah, get some new ones. read Catch me if you can.

[hpk37067]

I didn't even know that was a book.

[Laterose]

it was a book, then it was recently a film. The book is really good, actually

[hpk37067]

Further proof is that in the 5th book Harry finds out his dad never made prefect either. Yet in earlier books it is stated that Lily and James were Head Boy and Head Girl so, therefore, James didn't have to be a prefect.

[que_SuertE777]

I knew that James was Head Boy so it came as quite a shock to me that he was never a prefect. I always thought that you had to be a prefect to be Head Boy/Girl. Thank you for clearing that up LOTRfan. So do you think that Harry will be Head Boy or Ron? I'm torn between the two because I keep remembering what Ron saw in the Mirror of Erised.

[sone]

I honestly think Harry will become Head Boy. The only reason he was not chosen as prefect was because Dumbledore he had enough responsibility and problems as it was.

[que_SuertE777]

Poor Ron. If in fact Harry does become Head Boy, he'll be crushed :( .

[sone]

I hope not.

Harry has been through enough, he deserves it. Everyone, including Ron, had been surprised Ron had been made prefect as opposed to Harry. Technically, Ron probably wouldn't even have been prefect had Dumbledore felt it would have been one more burden Harry didn't need. So Ron sort of got it on default. However, with everyone accepting Voldemort is indeed back, Dumbledore might make Harry prefect or Head Boy simply to give him a further vote of confidence. This would also distract Harry with some (normal) school responsabilities as opposed to everything else horrible in his life someone his age shouldn't have to face. Harry is also a natural leader proven in all five books, he's also a great teacher & mentor (Dumbledore's Army). Everyone will probably also be looking up to Harry more than ever post-OotP realizing he was telling the truth about facing and dueling with Voldemort and a slough of Death Eaters. It will be back to Harry Hero Worship.... the younger students wouldn't dare disobey him if he were HB ;)

[redman]

yeah u got a big point there. I think most ppl are expecting harry to become head boy like his father.

[Laterose]

true, but that doesn't mean anyhting

[hpk37067]

Ron's already jealous of Harry as it is, but keeps it inside. But I would prefer Harry not becoming Head Boy because I don't want Harry to have a perfect life. Sure he didn't become prefect, but there was a good reason. He's already good at quidditch, seems to have done fairly well on the O.W.L.s, good social skills, and a knack at doing difficult things. We don't need to have a marathon of things Harry does great.

[sone]

Harry becoming Head Boy would not in a million years ever make his life perfect. Since his name is on the cover, a marathon of what Harry does great is exactly what people are going to get.

[que_SuertE777]

Yes, I agree with sone. If Harry were to become Head Boy, he would have to deal with a lot more pressure. Plus as Head Boy he would be expected to be a role model to other students. He wouldn't be able to do anything fun. But of course that would add to a plot.

His life isn't even close to perfect. And his social skills? Well...when it comes to girls, is pretty laughable (not that any 15 year old boy is going to have a clue, anyway).

I do think Ron would be saddened by Harry getting it. I think, even though Ron (and George and Fred) made fun of Percy because he was a prefect, Ron does actually enjoy it - and holds his head a little higher because of it. He has some authority over people - something he's never really had (I don't think he has, or ever had, any kind of authority over Ginny - she's pretty head strong as it is).

[Laterose]

Harry's life is not perfect, but it seems perfect to outsiders

[LOTRfan]

ok his life definitely seems far from perfect. Sure it seems exciting but who would want to go through their life never knowing their parents and anything good that ever comes their way is quickly snacthed away (sirius *sniff*). Plus he constantly has to worry about when and where Voldemort will strike next, all starting before he is even a teenager. Sounds like a fun life to me.
nvm laterose- i thought you meant that to the readers his life was perfect but you meant the outsiders in the book itself.

[HeadHunter]

I think it will be better for neither of them to get it..so that neither of them can be jealous of each other

[que_SuertE777]

Maybe Neville will get it, lol

[HeadHunter]

I think Hedwig should get it

[HeadHunter]

just thought of something...is there just one head boy and girl for the school or is it one pair per house

[que_SuertE777]

I think it's one girl and one boy for the whole school

[HeadHunter]

So it is highly possible the they might come from completely different houses to harry and ron

might even be *gulp* Malfoy

[que_SuertE777]

I shudder to think... Malfoy... Harry'll never hear the end of it if Malfoy becomes HB

[HeadHunter]

yeah...

[sone]

Harry should get Head Boy.....whether someone is jealous or not isn't relevant.

[que_SuertE777]

What happens if someone gets Head Boy or Head Girl and doesn't want to be it?

[LOTRfan]

i think they'd need to agree with it. Like sign a contract of some kind promising to uphold the school's rules. Things like that. That's why they get they letter. They are being offered the role. I doubt they'd be forced to accept the responsibility.

[hpk37067]

I wonder who chooses who should be Head Boy or Girl. I don't think it will be up to Dumbledore but up to the teachers and they have a vote or something.

[redman]

well dumbledore chooses the prefects so why wouldnt he be the one who chooses head boy and girl?

[hpk37067]

I don't know. Well, each of the Houses gets 2 prefects right? But the Head aren't given to each house, so they have to agree on someone who they all agree on or it will be a partial vote with Dumbledore because he was in Gryffindor and would probably select a Gryffindor.

[Laterose]

Thought Voldemort was a Slytherin and was Head Boy

But why would that matter? Dumbledore wasn't headmaster then. Professor Dippet was. So Dumbledore still could have been partial to Gryffindor since he wasn't the one making the final decision. So Voldemort being head boy doesn't prove anything about Dumbledore's tendencies.

[que_SuertE777]

Yes, that's true. And even though the headmaster at the time is partial to a house, that doesn't necessarily mean that someone from that house is going to be Head Boy/Girl.

Hermione said that Ginny was over Harry. However Harry still has not shown any real interest in Ginny at all. I am still thinking Harry and Hermione. Neville and Hermione is not a crazy idea at all though I wish there was more to go on than what we have read so far. I kinda hate it where the clues are so small people feel cheated once it comes up. Neville and Ginny is also a possibility.

[que_SuertE777]

I think Neville and Ginny are a more likely couple. Neville seems to like Ginny a lot. Remember how he tried to stop the Slytherins from taking her to Umbridge? But Ginny doesn't seem too interested in Neville. If Neville built up a little more self-confidence, I think they'd make a great couple.

[sone]

Neville chuckled. Luna turned her pale eyes on him instead.

"And I don't know who you are."

"I'm nobody," said Neville hurriedly.

"No you?re not," said Ginny sharply. "Neville Longbottom - Luna Love good."

"Luna's in my year, but in Ravenclaw."

But Luna seems to notice Ron more than Neville. She laughed hysterically at his jokes when they were on the Hogwarts Express. And then there was that incident at breakfast with her right before Ron's first game that makes me think she has a crush on Ron.

once again, at the end of the book she says she dumped micheal and i strongly think shes gonna hook up with harry. When you have a crush on someone, you never really get over them.

That is my problem with the H/G pairing in the first place. It is more about Ginny then it is about Harry. Always has been. If Ginny does this, if Ginny does that then maybe Harry will...yattayattayatta. Maybe Ginny is lying, maybe she is not. But just because Ginny has a crush on Harry does not mean he will actually hook up with her.

All the hints and interactions between Ron and Hermoinie point to them being together. Especially in book 4, Rowling is hiding it less and less.

Your opinion.....not mine.

[Stands Alone]

I have no idea whom I think Harry will end up with. I mean, not all characters end up with someone. So, I am guessing Harry will be a loner.

[sone]

Technically he already is a loner. Not really much of a people person but in this case, he will need that "significant" other.

[HeadHunter]

maybe they will all end up with each other in a sort of sordid love gangbang

Which is why I don't think the books will end with Ron/Hermione. They're a little too obvious. I have no doubt they will get together, but I don't think they'll stay together. R/Hr kind of remind me of the Snape storyline in SS. JKR was all but proclaiming Snape was the "bad guy" in SS... but it turned out to be Professor Quirrell. Yet these proclamations weren't necessarily misleading or red herrings since Snape isn't all good either, even if he isn't working for Voldemort. R/Hr will happen, giving credence to the major indications pointing to some sort of hook-up for them, but I don't feel they will be there by the end of the book.

[HeadHunter]

haven't ever thought of hermione/neville...but it could happen! They've been friends since the first train ride. Who knows...

I said that "Ginny admitted she's over him" in defense of Ginny someday having a relationship with Harry. Although Ginny didn't say it outright to us, I'm pretty sure she must've confided in Hermione for her to tell Harry. I don't think Hermione would just assume something like that. I think the fact that she is getting over her infatuation is a good sign because she can start appreciating Harry for who he really is rather than for his "story" or "name." Furthermore, being a "fan" of Harry would be weird and isn't enough to make Harry like her back.

The whole Ginny is playing hard to get is very possible also. My first post after a week of guests and girlfriends!

[que_SuertE777]

Yes, I think the hard to get scenario works (partly because I mentioned it in the first place, but... ssshh!! let's overlook that). Since Ginny is avoiding him, Harry will start to wonder, "What the hell is wrong with me?" and since he can't get that question out of his head, he constantly thinks of her. He ends put falling madly in love with her and they all live happily ever after. That's probably what everyone wants in the end: Harry and Ginny happily married and everything is peachy keen. I think it could end up that way, with a "few" obstacles and arguments along the way, but I don't think it'd be that easy.

[jedimaster03]

i think that Harry may end up with Hermonie, it may not happen until the next or last book but it may. I think that Harry will realize that he has felt something for Hermonie but never thought about it until he realizes that shes the one for him.(It seems like Harry and Hermonie will happen in the films) As for Ginny, i think that he will not end up with her, she will probably be with someone else, as for Ron i think he will either like someone else or someone from either Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff or even Griffyndor will admit to him that they like him. It could happen.

[Tim37ninjageniu]

I completely disagree. I think that Harry will end up with Luna. Read the last chapter at Hogwarts and you will see definite chemistry between the two. Ron and Hermione have a shot together.

[que_SuertE777]

I still think that Luna and Harry's relationship is strictly platonic. Luna seems to understand Harry, more so than anybody else, but I don't think it goes any further than that.

[sone]

That is not chemistry but an understanding. Besides I do not see how anyone can suggest that Luna likes Harry considering how she speaks of Ron.

I had originally thought that as well but lately I think Harry would be happier with someone who understands him and knows him really well. Look at how unhappy he is everytime he returns to Privet Drive in the summer. It's because the Dursleys have no idea what goes on at school, what a dangerous year he's had etc. It kills him that he can't talk about what's happend to him. He needs to be with a witch...but not with someone that's known him from afar while he was in school- only learning about "his story."

[que_SuertE777]

Well, most people are too amazed to get over the fact that he's the famous Harry Potter to actually know him. So it'll be hard finding a girl that he could get to know without that complicating things.

[Tim37ninjageniu]

Well the very fact that noone seems to think Harry has a shot with Luna makes me believe it more and more. JKR loves surprises.

I do. The development between H/Hr is actually quite alarming. Luna as it is very obvious, likes Ron. Harry has Ginny, Myrtle, Hermione, Cho, Parvati and even Fleur to an extent taken with him. Harry is hogging up all the girls in school. Ron needs somebody who is going to look past Harry.

Can anybody see that Luna clearly likes Ron? One talk with Harry and he's got her too despite everything she has said about Ron. How many girls has Harry piled up next to Ron?
