JKR the anti-shipper

[davewitley]

OK, time to start re-evaluating the wole series now.

To kick off, I think DH does in a kind of back-handed way cast all that fuss about the Leaky-
Mugglenet interview in a new light.  No comfort for upset H/H fans, but it's clear that the 
bonds of adventure trump romantic love for JKR.  Look how, at the end, Harry deliberately 
ignores Ginny and seeks out Ron and Hermione, who in turn function as his companions 
rather than lovers at this point.

One Big Weasley Family, yes, with a hint of the Malfoys, but if it's Happy, it's for extraneous 
reasons, not because of the relationships.  In that sense the extreme R/H fans were as 
deluded as anyone else: they just didn't happen to catch the rough edge of JKR's tongue in an 
interview.
