Hey everyone. 

Just thought I'd poke my head out of lurkdom and see what was going 
on in the ever-popular shipping debate at HP4GU.

I have a tiny problem with that statement (that JKR is an H/R 
shipper), and it comes from the fact that in an interview prior to 
the publication of GoF, JKR said very clearly that in the fourth book 
the kids all fall for the *wrong* people. To me this says Harry for 
Cho, Hermione for Krum (or maybe just Krum for Hermione), and Ron for 
Hermione. If JKR were truly an R/H shipper, she would not refer to 
them as "wrong" for each other, imho.

But then, I'm a post-Hogwarts H/H shipper. I think falling in love 
before the age of twenty sucks and should be avoided at all costs; 
unfortunately, I think only one character even has it remotely in the 
cards to avoid that typical but annoying fate, and that's Harry.
