Great post Hitomi,I agree with everything you said about R/H and H/H. 
I decided, after reading "the interview" and since nobody else has 
stood up to say anything I guess I will... I have never been a big 
fan of the big three. Hermione, Ginny, and Luna, don't get me wrong 
I love these girls to death, and I think that they will each play a 
big part in the story, but for Harry? I have read and read and read 
on all three, reasons why they could work, and reasons why people 
think they won't work. 

I believe that much like the H/H ship, people that ship Ginny and 
Luna contort the books to fit their personal preference, in my opinion 
not as bad as the HH ship, people in the HH ship even try to contort 
JKR interviews that so blatantly say that Harry and Hermione are 
friends. Sorry if I'm rude but when I think about the good ship HH, I 
see it in the bottom of the ocean.  I believe when JKR said that Harry 
and Hermione are platonic friends the ship went down...sorry. 

As for Luna, come on...I honestly don't know how people think she will 
be good for Harry, he's going to have a lot of trials in the next two 
books, and people want to pair him up with LUNA? Harry is going to need 
someone that is down to earth, which is not Luna. 

As for Ginny Weasley...someone, I think on this list, called her 
Ron-with-boobs, I LOVED THAT! It totally says it all. That is why I 
can't stand H/G. It's just too perfect! I think that JKR can come up 
with something a lot better then "best friend's little sister" (who 
would be great for Neville). 

Now that I angered 99% of the people on this list, I just wanted to 
say that I would love for Harry to get together with a ghost character, 
someone like Hannah, Lisa, Sally-Anne, (come on... shout it out loud if 
you agree) I have to admit...my heart is set on Susan, but truthfully I 
don't care just as long as it's not Hermione, Ginny, or Luna. I think 
that what was said with the interview could be meant for any girl not 
just Hermione and Ginny. 

In my opinion even with two books left Harry could wind up kissing 
anybody, and I think that it would be great to take a "ghost" girl 
and develop her. Not only will it make for interesting reading, but 
we will get insight into other houses besides Gryffindor, we would 
also have another lead female that isn't one-of-the-guys, is not 
too perfect it will make you want to roll your eyes every five 
seconds, and isn't on the verge of being admitted into St. Mungos.

even going to duck at all rotten fruit thrown at her.
