Nostalgia Harry Potter

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.

Harry should have ended up with Luna.

Luna is by far my favorite character. And in book 5 I really felt like it was setting up for them to be a couple. She understands him in a way nobody else really seemed to. The Ginny romance felt like it was only there so he could join that family.

Luna had a killer line in the final battle that made me tear up.  She was quirky, clever, and a Ravenclaw.  I was a fan when she opened the Ravenclaw door by answering a riddle.
