at women based only on their physical attributes.  Perhaps he should 
be more concerned with the inner being.


Erin now says:

Yes, you're right, at least, the relationship with Cho was 
disastrous.  I'm not sure you could call the other two really 
relationships, but for sure they haven't gone well.  I don't like to 
think, however, that Harry is being punished by the author for 
looking at pretty girls.  I don't know that one can really help what 
turns one on at the physical level like that. And certainly Harry has 
no intention of getting involved with Bella, and he *knew* that going 
to the ball with Parvati was a bad idea, which was why he waited so 
long to ask, so he is clearly thinking at least a little bit about 
personality.  It would be nice if he could find love without having 
to resort to marrying a troll solely for personality, ya know?

But of course, that may be exactly what happens if he ends up, as 
someone else put it "seeing what was right in front of him the whole 
time" in Ginny or Hermione.
