I hope you get to tell us some new info we are suppose to get in that book.

I agree with Amy, it took Ginny to get to know Harry more in OOTP, in order to see the real Harry. I always thought that Ginny may have ended up with Harry because like you all said, there really was no other reason to bring up her love life over and over again, in OOTP and finally a breakup. It's bound to have happen.

Spoiler:
"I tried very hard to soften it, I suppose," Jo said. Just because someone had a view on Harry/Hermione didn't mean they weren't genuine, or that they were necessarily misguided. In fact, I will say this, Steve Kloves who has been the scipt writer [on the Potter films], who is enormously insightful on the series and a very good friend, after he read book seven he said to me, 'You, know, I thought something was going to happen between Harry and Hermione, and I didn't know whether I wanted it or not.'

"I had always planned that Harry's true soul mate, which I stand by, is Ginny, and that Ron and Hermione have this combative but mutual attraction. They will always bicker, there will always be rough edges there, but they are pulled together, each has something the other needs."

I stared at her, sensing she wasn't finished, and a sense of foreboding crept in around the edges.

"[Kloves] felt a certain pulll between them at that point. And I think he's right. There are moments when [Harry and Hermione] touch, which are charged moments. One when she touches his hair as he sits on the hiltop reading about Dumbledore and Grindelwald, and [two] the moment when they walk out of the graveyard with their arms around eachother."

I was Holding my breath at this point. She wasn't done.

"Now the fact is that Hermione shares moments with Harry that Ron will never be able to participate in. He walked out. She shared something very instense with Harry.

"So I think it could have gone that way."

I could hear the shippers' cried of woe - H/H and R/H alike - reaching me all the way from the future.


Thoughts? I think it's perfectly natrual to have some sexual tension for female friends. Makes movie Harry a bit more canon. You know with the waitress and Romilda.
