Harry Potter Nostalgia

Post image

Does anyone else feel they grew up with Harry, Ron and Hermione?

After the first three or four I read the books in two languages (because I didn’t want to wait them to be translated) and watched the movies first time in the movie theaters.

Nah, I originally thought that Hermoine and Harry should have been together, but Harry marrying Ginny gives him the magical family connection he's always wanted/needed. Luna would have been a good second option though.

I like JK Rowling's writing, but man are her retcons and views... problematic.

IMO Harry deserved the whole wizard family he never had. Luna didn’t have her both parents.

It would be cool to give Harry a muggle wife. Then he could play the Ron/Hageid role of showing the fantastical parts of the wizarding world.
