[Harry Potter]

[sugar_spun]

Well, that's kind of an unfortunate side effect of everything being from Harry's perspective only. If it's not on "screen" for him, it basically doesn't happen.

That doesn't excuse poor writing, of course. I was just sayin'.

[(Anonymous)]

Fair enough.

[fauxkaren]

I don't dislike this ship. I just think it was a really hamfisted way to echo what happened with James, Lily and Harry.

[fingalsanteater]

I feel the exact same way. I can't believe Tonks would have a baby during the height of a serious war to begin with. Shouldn't wizards have fool-proof birth control?

[(Anonymous)]

Pretty sure it was. I got a feeling JK was rushed just a little too much with the last book. She had a shitload of stuff to tie up, and she did a good job for most of it, but that "epilogue" and various other things just felt like, if they'd given her just a few more weeks, we would've had a more polished finale.

[(Anonymous)]

Cosigned. I hate this ship. I don't ship either of the pair with someone else, but euughhh.

[(Anonymous)]

THANK YOU.

Though I wish people didn't have to add the "I don't ship him with Sirius" disclaimer to even be taken seriously about this. Every time I try to articulate why that pairing bothered the shit out of me, I pretty much get called a butthurt slash fan. Like, dude, I'm not blind, I know Sirius was dead at that point. That broke my ship way more than a new love interest ever will.

[author_by_night]

I don't totally agree with this, but I will say I actually loved Remus/Tonks until the last book. I was an R/T shipper right after OoTP. I don't think JKR forced their marriage to make the death more tragic; I think she just forced the characters in, full stop. It felt like she wanted them in the story so made room for them (where it didn't make sense) rather than letting it come naturally. I wish she'd written them more like Bill and Fleur, who had a wonderful love story - which worked because it wasn't forced at all.

[greenvelvetcake]

I just hated that we got badass, fun Tonks in OotP, but in HBP, all the fun and life is sucked out of her because he doesn't return her feelings. It was such a 180 from what we knew of the character up til then.

[la_petite_singe]

He's my fave character (and I ship Tonks/Remus/Sirius OT3), but I do agree that it was frustrating that so much of it happened 'off-screen.' We really don't get enough of them interacting, and of course we don't get to see them as parents, like, at all. As soon as Remus made Harry godfather I was like "that's so cute! Now he's just like Sirius and Remus and Tonks are like--OH GOD NO" and realized what was coming--like, I love me some parallels/bookends, but sheesh. >:\

[(Anonymous)]

Amen. That whole thing made me want to retch.

[helenadax]

I liked both characters but I didn't like them together. I don't even understand why they liked each other. I mean, I'm sure there must be valid reasons but we didn't get to see them.

And I wanted Tonks to have some fun nights with Harry and then settle down with Charlie, after the war, so I can't say I was pleased when Rowling paired her up with Remus.

[(Anonymous)]

I loved him in the books and hated him in the movies. *shrug*

[(Anonymous)]

She was just JKR's No Homo Mama.

[(Anonymous)]

She looks gorgeous in that picture.

[(Anonymous)]

Aww they were the only couple I shipped in Harry Potter, it hit me right in the age-gap kink, and I honestly cried over the last book. Not least because Remus was my favourite.

To each their own OP.

[blueonblue]

I do ship Sirius/Remus, but was okay with Tonks at first because Sirius wasn't exactly around and it's not like he should be unhappy forever, but it really did start to feel like she was there to have and kid and die.

Not a huge fan of it in the movie for actor-related reasons, thanks to Naked and Prime Suspect, he always seems like a creeper to me.

[(Anonymous)]

I stopped caring about him in the movies the minute they totally screwed the reunion between him and Sirius in the shack in PoA anyway. That whole scene in the book was the reason I cared about any of the Marauders at all. The movie didn't come anywhere close. But then, movie-wise, they screwed all of the stories. I couldn't care about any of them in the movies.

The same goes for her. She was just there to have cute hair in the movies. Blah.

[diet_poison]

Do you feel this way about the books too or just the movies?

idk Lupin's death would have been just as tragic without her, to me. Her death was also sad for me in and of itself.

[funyarinpainahat]

It's sad, pairing the man who transforms into an awful monster against his will with a woman who can change her appearance just by thinking about it. Now if there were a female werewolf/dog animagus...

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't like it either. If a bunch of people have to get together and browbeat you into a relationship and you're still miserable afterward, it's probably not meant to be. I actually didn't mind the idea of Remus/Tonks before HBP, but I thought it basically sucked the likeability out of both characters.

[pelespen]

I just ship 'em like they're not canon. My head-canon of them is so much better than Rowling ever wrote.

[philstar22]

I completely get this. I shipped them before they were canon. I loved the idea of them. I don't ship Remus/Sirius at all (James/Sirius all the way). But the way they were written was so bad it completely turned me off this ship.

[(Anonymous)]

In the movie? Hell yes, I'm in total agreement. I was horrified that they watered down their relationship so much.

But in the book, I actually thought there was some good development. I really wish we could have seen more exploration of their relationship - I was completely heartbroken when they died. I guess that's what fanfiction is for.
