Yeah. Yep. Samerino.

NED? What are you doing reading Harry Potter?

I lol'd

[hey_hey_hey]

I wasn't huge into Remus/Tonks, but it felt like a lot of enthusiasm for that shipped died after book seven.

[(Anonymous)]

After whatever book they got together in, I was really surprised to hear people say they had shipped them before that book, because I honestly could not remember anything happening that would incite shipping those two and the pairing had seemed kind of left-field to me (I know people ship totally random characters all the time, but I feel like that happens more in visual media where people just think the actors are hot). I didn't care enough to go back and re-read to see what I'd missed, though. Belated congratulations to those whose Tonks/Remus ship became canon, I guess!

[(Anonymous)]

This ship made no sense to me, ever. It came entirely out of the blue and never seemed like anything but a cringey trainwreck on-page.

I was sorry to see them die, though, because I loved them both as individual characters.

SAAAAME

IDK if it actually made sense or if I just read enough fic to where I absorbed the headcanons where it made sense

can't tell anymore

[(Anonymous)]

Same. It felt like a pair-the-spares and then like an excuse for aaaaaaangst.

I really feel that JKR doesn't do romance particularly well.

[(Anonymous)]

JKR sucks at romance. The only reason Ron/Hermione works at all is because she made them into a romcom cliche so the audience could fill in the chemistry blanks themselves without any additional effort on her part. All the other "onscreen" romances just fall back on "trust me, they really love each other."

[philstar22]

I mostly agree. Ron/Hermione didn't work for me. But I do think Harry/Ginny particularly suffered because Harry was our POV character, so we could see front and center the flaws in the writing. It could have worked well, she just wasn't able to write a believable romance.

[(Anonymous)]

Agreeing with the other comments that I literally did not pick up on Lupin/Tonks until they actually got together. Maybe it's because I was a kid who was rushing through the books to the parts I wanted to read but in general Rowling's "romance" is awful. Especially Harry/Ginny who also felt like it wasn't built up that much.

I really only liked Ron/Hermione but I understand the issue some people have with them.

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't really see anything Remus/Tonks, but I tend to try and go through the book as fast as I can first week of release so I don't get spoiled and then I never really read through them thoroughly (aside from sections I remember enjoying).

But the same thing happened with Harry/Ginny for me. I actually liked the ship in book five. It was starting to make sense, they're trying out different things but finding things in common, Ginny is clearly doing her own thing trying to become her own person and while I wasn't seeking out the ship or anything, I enjoyed the ship if it pops up in random fics, thought it made sense in canon--until Rowling actually wrote it out. Oh dear god that's not what I wanted at all.

[philstar22]

I'm with you on Harry/Ginny. When book 5 came out, it wasn't my favorite ship, but I started to see ways in which it could work. Ginny was dating other people. She was over Harry, meaning she was no longer a fangirl crushing on her hero. And then, in book 6, suddenly we're told that no, those relationships meant nothing, she was still in love with Harry. Which, there is miles of difference between fangirl love and real love. And Harry hated being a hero and was weirded out by fans. It just didn't make any sense.

[(Anonymous)]

Same OP. On that note, I'm glad you decided to use a pic from the movie, because I think the movie handled their romance better than the books did. I was so not into Lupin/Tonks in the books, but I really liked them in the movies.
