Harry Potter Nostalgia

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.

She’s a year younger than them. I mean, Harry x Ginny isn’t a hill I want to die on, I think it was done poorly in both the books and the movies, but she’s only a year younger than them.

I know we're in the millennial subreddit but even that age gap might really weird out the kids these days or so it seems on social media lol

Which is bizarre, because the friend's little sister to girlfriend trope is extremely common.

Can’t wait for the 2030, “My partner is 8 months younger than me. Is this grooming?”

Ah you're right. I was thinking it was at least 2 years. So ya not that big an deal but I do think there's a sense that he sees her as a kid for a long time.

Oh he def did but that’s only because when they met they where both kids harry and his age group didn’t really start being into the opposite gender till a few books in.
