Harry Potter & Luna Lovegood!!! I know majority won't agree but I shipped them SO hard and it never happened. (So sad)

They could have been really cute together but I still love Ginny and Harry

I love that - 'Sea of Doomed Hope'. Or, 'Valley of Lost Dreams'.

Non-canon shippers are doomed to be heartbroken!
@Isabelle: I always thought Luna would be good w/ Harry (although I also ship Luna + Neville!). I never did think Harry + Ginny was the best pairing, for some reason.

Same. Even Hermione and Harry would have seemed like a better fit in my eyes. Although I would never do anything to break Ron & Hermione apart. They're too adorable together.

DEFINITELY Artemis and Holly!
I agree, I thought Harry and Ginny were a bit dodgy as a couple too... I mean the Bro Code clearly states "A bro will never ever get with a bro’s biological mother or sister."
C'mon Harry.

I must say, I never really thought of those two getting together, but now that you mention it, I agree! :D

Agreed!
Agreed!

And yes to Artemis Fowl and Holly. So sad the ending just left them as friends :(
I also really wanted Alex & Sabina from the Alex Rider books to become an item. If you have read all the books you know that the author crushed and sunk that ship

Ikr? Anthony Horowitz seems to enjoy depressing endings. The ending to his Power of Five series was also quite depressing.

Ya :(




This one is ..."
oh my gosh!!! Holly and Artemis! Yes!!! I wanted them so badly to be together; Holly is obviously quite a bit older, and Artemis is intellectually old but still emotionally unstable but that moment in the one where they time travel and Holly's been shunted back a few years and nyaaaahhh...made all my hopes go up and then Artemis stuffed crap up and NYAAAAAH!


Yes! That was one change I was okay with the movie making. Neville and Luna are adorable.




YES!! DRAMIONE FOREVER!!

The Wingless Bird's Agnes and Charles / Reginald

Agreed! I always pictured Luna with Neville - it felt weird to have her be with someone whom we never even met, or got to know through the series. They would have made a brilliant couple, I think :)

Ya. I was bummed about Neville and Luna not getting together. Luna's marriage with that random dude is the one cannon thing in the HP universe that I disregard.

Ya. I was ..."
Although I feel Neville makes for an excellent single Hogwarts heartthrob hipster Herbology teacher. Has J.K. ever said what Neville's situation ends up being?
According to JK Rowling 'Sometime before 2014, he married his former classmate and D.A. member Hannah Abbott, and the pair lived at the Leaky Cauldron, where she became the landlady.'
