I absolutely agree. I also like the idea of being a "no-shipper", i 
don't really care... maybe i should call myself a H/H shipper, but 
only because i like the H/H pairing. I don't want to convince anyone 
that H/H is better than H/R, i don't even really think so. I just 
can't help feeling myself a little bit in the place of Harry (this is 
probably because i'm an almost-teen boy :) and i really like 
Hermione. I know that this sounds really silly, but to me, the 
bookworm Hermione seems to be the type of girl i'd really like to 
meet in the reality :) Even if she had a bit long front teeth :) OK, 
sorry, i should be writing to a group called HPforSillyTeens :)

OK, it's fun on the list and in the fanfics, but if the series turns 
into a soap opera, i'll send our Jo a curse as soon as i can find a 
big enough envelope :) (OK, this was only a bad joke, i am sure it'll 
never happen)
