Hello everyone. I realized that we have already discussed to some 
extent about who Harry's new "crush" interest is going to be. I 
never really said anything because I was rereading the books.

I just finished chapter 31 (O.W.L.S.) in OOTP, when he was having a 
hard time consentrating. When I read who he sitting behind, I went 
back to GoF the Yule Ball chapter and there came up with the same 
name, Parvati Patil.

I really didn't think they could bring in someone completely new for 
that part, but I figured JKR would want to bring in less major 
characters. Parvati has played enough of a character that she would 
be suitable.Yes I realize that she didn't have the best time with 
Harry at the Ball, but that can always change.
 
Another reason why I think she's going to be Harry's new interest is 
from the one thing that I read that stuck in my mind.
 
'He was sitting right behind Parvati Patil, whose long dark hair 
fell below the back of her chair. Once or twice he found himself 
staring at the tiny golden lights that glistened in its when she 
moved her head very slightly and had to give his own head a little 
shake to clear it.'    (From OOTP Ch. 31 pg. 725 US version)


Now Bella responds:


Why not? We've tried Harry with just about everyone else!!!

And Pavarti is pretty. She and her twin Padme are "the best-looking 
girls in the year" according to Dean. (Ch. 23 "The Yule Ball", GOF, 
p411 US Hardback)

And, really, she's often supportive of Harry. She joins the DA when 
many think Harry's crazy. She's worried about him when Trewlany 
predicts his death in PoA. Whenever there is an argument between the 
Harry/the Trio and a teacher, Pavarti, along with Neville and Dean, 
are always the Gryffindor's that pipe in to support Harry's/the 
Trio's side (with Snape, with Umbridge<--Ch.13, "Detention with 
Dolores")

And I think she was hoping the whole time that Harry would ask her 
to the Yule Ball--she nudges Lavender and they both turn to look at 
Harry when they first hear of the ball. (Ch 22, "The Unexpected 
Task) And she seems pretty excited and giggly when Harry does ask 
her to the Ball and is mad when he doesn't pay attention to here 
during the Ball.

But, Pavarti is such a stereotypical girl. So worried about 
appearance (doesn't she curl her eyelashes with her wand?), gets all 
gushy over the pretty unicorns, etc. I always pictured Ron going for 
that kind of girl before Harry. (I mean, Cho is the typical, 
emotionally unstable teenage girl, but she's sporty, too...And I do 
believe that JK has chosen for Ron to show interest in Hermione.)

So Harry and Pavarti are a stretch, but why not? They're as likely a 
couple as Harry and Luna!

~Bella, who, at this point, agrees with whomever it was that said, 
in the end, Ron will end up with Luna, Neville with Ginny, and Harry 
and Hermione on their own
