Ahoy there! Is there room for one more on the Good Ship R/H? Reporting for
duty Captain Kathy!

I don't know if I really have anything to add but having been enjoying the
R/H arguments a lot. I have been thinking-when did the business of Ron
liking Hermione come out? I saw it in GoF, of course, and thought they would
be a great couple. I have never heard of H/H until I started reading this
group. I cannot see it for some reason. They seem too much like brother and
sister to me where as Ron and Hermione have a much more dynamic relationship
and would be good together. I forget who wrote about R and H's fight after
the Yule ball and how Harry thought Hermione better illustrated the point. I
just reread that earlier and thought that Harry does know about R and H
liking each other and why don't they just say it.  However, I wouldn't be
too sad if JKR doesn't write it this way but I prefer R/H to H/H. Besides,
Ron is my favorite character and I think if I was 14 I would have a crush on
him.:) I am also partial to red hair.:) As for H/G, I don't see that. I
think it's because Ginny is really developed yet. I don't see Harry with
anyone right now. Maybe if someone new is introduced or an undeveloped
character is developed more. If anyone, I think I like Harry and Fleur, of
the characters we know.

I too looked at the Japanese fan art (the pic of Neville is adorable) and
noticed Draco with dark hair. For some reason, I always thought of him with
dark hair as associating dark with evilness(not that Draco is totally evil
though) Amy Z asked if there was an earlier reference of Draco's hair color
than PoA. If there was, I must have missed it. Does anyone know for sure?

Rina, I play the Sims too! I created a Harry, Vernon, Petunia, Dudley
family. Did you notice how the one boy looks just like Harry? I even made
Harry's room small in the house and Dudley have all the toys. I just made a
Weasley family(minus Bill and Charlie) We'll see what happens. :)

I think we're all more open (well, I am) around our families than others we
don't know well. Or perhaps have a crush on. I don't know if she's really a
shy wallflower or not but I tend to stick her in the category for now. I
guess we'll find out later perhaps more about her personality.

Someone else brought up about Ginny probably being Hermione's closest female
friend. It bothers me sometimes that Hermione doesn't seem to have many
female friends. It doesn't seem that she associates much with Lavender or
Parvati. Why do you think it is? Is she more the type to have boys as
friends? I think maybe she intimidates the other girls with her intelligence
and know it all attitude. After all, Ron and Harry didn't become friends
with her until after the troll incident. What do you all think?

Well, I think that's all! I normally lurk but will try to post more.
