as a *shipping dynamic* though, for the first five books there was nothing there except 'we fight a bunch, and the audience thinks we're both hot, therefore it's looove', and that set the standards and conventions for the pairing, and even book 6's canon obsession felt blunt and one-note in the same way

the absence of actual chemistry or mutuality or complexity or convoluted power dynamics or whatever in canon is a big part of the blandness to me. Conversely, I think any pairing can be written engagingly, especially in a fandom like HP where you can bring in the lushness of the world and the stakes of the canon plot, but the pairing in itself is shallow, and most of the fic stays in that mold for me
