I thought Bill/Fleur was probably the most successful ship in the 
book. I really felt Fleur's determination and her line to molly about 
being attractive enough for the both of them was great. One of the 
best lines in the series imo.

I thought the way Fleur revealed that she knew what Molly, Ginny, and 
Hermione had been doing and saying behind her back was well done. 
Fleur hadn't done anything but be pretty in a way that had even 
Hermione thinking there was nothing below the surface.  Molly and 
Ginny forgot that she had been a triwizad champion  and was not just a 
pretty face. I did not.



Sherry now:

I liked fleur, too.  When we first see her at the Weasleys, nobody is being
particularly nice.  not the female characters we know and not Fleur.  They
are all picking at each other to some extent.  But I remembered Fleur from
the tournament.  She had seemed superficial at first, but she had ended up
proving herself and being a very likable person by the end of GOF.  When the
hospital scene arrived in HBP, I was holding my breath, thinking, come on,
Fleur, show us all there's as much to you as I think there is!  and she did.
I thought it was great.
