SHIP: movie contamination

Just a thought out of nowhere...

I was polling a couple of my students about their SHIPping 
preferences.  The thought occurred to me that my R/H SHIP 
inclination, and SHIPping in general is a product of movie 
contamination.  Romantic prospects don't seem as salient in the 
books.  Steve Kloves is an obvious R/H-er and I think his 
presentation of those characters has changed the way I read them in 
Rowling's books.  Character interaction in books one and two seems 
more matter-of-fact than the movie representations.

ADMIN: This post is almost more appropriate for HPfGU-Movie, but if the responses to this message focus on what the books say about R/H, how one's reading of the books is affected by outside influences (e.g., the movie, other websites, etc.), or on the merits of R/H vs. other SHIPs (keeping the SHIP prefix in the subject line, of course), the thread will be on-topic.  References to the movies should shed light on the text, not on the movie.  (It's a fine line, we know, but do your best.)

If list members wish to discuss the R/H-ness of the movies, Steve Kloves, or anyone else asociated with the movie, the discussion must move to HPfGU-Movie, at
