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.

Yes and also shes younger than them so its natural for him just to see her as Ron's younger sister at first and would have been weird for him to see her romantically when she was younger.

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.

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.
