No, I totally agree with you. JKR sucks at romance. For one... I
do not get all the Hermione/Ron shippers. It is not normal in my
opinion to constantly bicker with your crush... Usually people put
on their BEST behavior when trying to win the one they love. Their
bickering reminded me of brother/sister relationships. Not that of
people who are fond of one another.

Ron was such a prat through the whole series  I don't see how
anyone could even Like him. This coming from a Snape/Hermione
shipper, I admit. Still, Ron was a complete arsehole- he was
never redeemed in my books.

And the Harry/Ginny was creepy. I like H/G... I'll admit I wanted
them to end up together... but JKR constantly talking about Harry
apprieciating a girl who didn't cry (unnormal... everyone cries)
and the infatuation with his mother (he wanted to FEAST upon her
image) made the ship entirely creepy. There wasnt enough true
buildup.... No connectionof souls so to speak.

JKR's blatant lack of understanding human Sexuality killed the
whole story for me. I was sorely dissapointed that she could
delve into the aspects of Torture and other deeply disturbing
human emotions.. yet she couldnt touch sexuality with a ten foot
pole.
