We all love our favorite slash pairings, but lets face it-- it's not happening in the books :( I hate to see Harry paired with any girl, especially Ginny (I just hate her, for some reason), but if I had to choose, it'd be Hermione. H/H would be way more tolerable for me than Hermione/Ron or Harry/Ginny. However, it seems that there are WAY more Harry/Ginny fics out there! Is it because it's cannon, or do peopel really prefer Harry/Ginny?

I can't vote in your poll. I despise both pairings. H/H is just too unreal to even be considered, and H/G has plenty of its own problems. It honestly has little to do with not really liking Ginny in the books (she's ok, but I don't think she's all that great thus far). It's more to do with the fact that Harry is so obviously not straight to me. At all. For whatever reason, JKR kept the books pretty de-sexualized up until 4 and 5, and then things just got really awkward for Harry. I don't know about y'all, but when I was 12-14 I thought about boys and sex a lot... granted, I didn't have a Dark Lord after me, but still. So, when she decided in the beginning to not include Harry thinking about sex of any kind, but especially not with girls, the opposite happens and a queered reading of Harry occurs. Sorry that was so long (and I didn't even vote) but really, I think canon Harry is a total (albeit probably unintentional) closet-case!

I'd rather see Harry/Hermione, but it's never going to happen. Sadly.

I, too, detest Ginny for some reason. I've always disliked her and even though Draco is my favorite character I would rather read Harry/Luna or something than Draco/Ginny. That girl just doesn't do it for me. ^_^

What about Harry/Luna - if I fancy one het pairing involving Harry then it's Luna/Harry.
H/G or H/Hr aren't my cup of tea even if H/Hr is a bit more interesting.

i hate Harry/Ginny also.
Harry/Hermione is definitely the lesser of two evils
but i really cant stand thought of either one.
my favorite Ginny fics always involve her either getting dumped
for Draco or killed by Harry.
thats what i call a happy ending.:)

I don't really mind any of them, but I would have LOVED to see Harry/Luna in the books, it would have been sooo perfect imo.

I also don't see why people have such a hard time seeing H/Hr. I mean, yeah R/Hr is pretty damn obvious but H/Hr seems fairly easy as well. Although I refuse to align myself with any group who willingly calls themselves "Harmonians." *shudders*

I don't particularly have anything against Ginny, but I don't really see any plusses in her favor either. I could totally see her as a nice addition to the Trio tho.

And on a final note, I must say that I'm currently on a Cedric/Hermione kick.

minisinoo 's Finding Himself is by far my favorite fic at the moment, and it's pretty much the non-slash I read.

Whew, long post, a bit.

For me, if Harry should be with a girl, then it would be... Tonks. I think they could understand each other just fine. They are on the same mental age. :D And let's face it, her sudden infatuation with Remus notwithstanding, she is pretty cool. :D

Not be cause I like Harry/Ginny (I emphatically don't, but that might be because Harry/Draco is my OTP, and therefore I probably shouldn't even bother voting in this quiz, but anyways...) but because I do like Ron/Hermione.

Harry is obsessed with Draco. I don't care how many women get thrown in his path-the obsession is there. Hopefully JKR will NOT pair Harry w/any female and leave his sexuality to her readers' imaginations. And what great imaginations we have. So, finally getting around to it, I vote neither. Also by the fact that Ginny has done nothing spectacular to be noticed, she's just there, & Hermione is just too...., I don't know how to convey exactly, smart, bossy - she's in a different league entirely and I don't think there would actually be any attraction from her for either Harry or Ron. But as far as RL goes - I think Emma Watson wants Dan in a very big, bad way - no matter her "brotherly" protestations. And Dan? Hmmmm....just cause he gets caught looking down girls shirts....
OK - rant concluded. Thank you.
