Janeway:
> It seems to me like the basic problem with JKR's portrayal of Harry
and Ginny's relationship is that she treats it like a MYSTERY,
using "clues", rather than like a ROMANCE, exploring feelings.
Romance is all about mystery and obsession and frustrated desire, and
finally release and revelation.
Lynda says:
JKR is not writing romance novels. What she is writing is fantasy, mystery, adventure. And they are not primarily geared for adults, but children, although she does have a large adult fanbase. Knowing that is perhaps why I did not pick up on a "romance" between Sirius and Remus. Especially after Tonks entered the books.
