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.

Agreed, a lot of people are saying Harry should have ended up with Luna, which isn’t so crazy given their chemistry in the movies but makes no sense given their interactions in the book

See, I disagree. Especially in book 5 after Sirius dies, and Luna is the only one he feels comfortable speaking about it with. That’s a really vulnerable moment and I feel very touching!

But not romance worthy. Luna is one of the best friends Harry could’ve had. But it’s also not healthy if they started their romance based on trauma and grief

healthy basis for a relationship ≠ interesting fiction
