SHIP: Harry and Hermione

[Robert Jones]

No: HPFGUIDX 92285

Three points on H/H shipping:

(1) Harry hasn't shown any romantic interest in Hermy in any of the 
first five books.  There is one trend: They have been growing closer 
as friends.  But that's it.

(2) I don't think we know what kind of boy would make Hermione 
happy.  JKR just has not shown us what is going on in her little 
fifteen year old mind.  After GOF I thought she and Ron were going 
to get together, but in OOTP she only showed annoyance towards him, 
and so I don't think Ron -- at least the Ron we saw in OOTP -- would 
make her very happy for long.

(3) Who says Harry is going to end up with anyone?  He might be 
distracted by a pretty face like with Cho again -- he is a teenage 
boy -- but I doubt he is going to have any serious relationship at 
least in Book 6.  He is going to be too distracted and messed up 
(blaming himself for Sirius's death, believing that he is going to 
kill or be killed, finding out his father was a jerk at one time, 
finding out that DD is not infallible) that I doubt that any of the 
girls he is closest to are going to be interested in him as 
boyfriend material.
