My opinions of HP ships
(Oooh, this is gonna
get me so much hate. Apologies to
anyone who doesn’t agree with me. It’s just my own personal opinions on ships.
I apologise if I leave any ships out.)
Ron x Hermione (Romione): My OTP. The good ship. The greatest and the
mightiest. They complement each other so well, and have such a great build-up (they have a PINING ERA, for goodness’ sake…).
Having said that, I’m definitely more here for Ron than I am for Hermione.
Sometimes, she can be infuriating to read about. But hey, that’s to be expected
when she’s the author’s self-insert. I’m just happy that she makes Ron happy; I
don’t know why she does, but I’m
happy she does nonetheless. I’m grateful that Ronald Bilius Weasley is finally
content; even if it is with the
irritable know-it-all with violent sociopathic tendencies.
Harry x Ginny (Hinny): It’s cool. No real opinion either way. They make
each-other happy, and that’s good enough for me.
Dean x Seamus (Deamus): Does anyone not ship this at least a little? I
think it’s sweet. No problems here.
Luna x Harry (Lunarry/Huna): Quite possibly one of my favourite non-canon ships.
If Harry didn’t end up with Ginny, I would have thought Luna would have been
the best bet. Like Ron and Hermione, they complement each-other so well, and
such a sweet, caring relationship.
Luna x Ginny (Linny): YES! Luna and Ginny would be awesome! I even ship
Harry x Ginny x Luna as a poly relationship (which I call Linuarry).
Luna and Neville (Nuna): I always just saw them as friends, but I have no
real problems with this. It’s cute, and it’s based on mutual respect and love.
No complaints.
Remus x Sirius (Wolfstar): I like it, but it’s such a tragic ship. I once
wrote a fluff fanfic about them, and most of the comments were just ‘I love how
little angst is in this fic compared to other fics about the pair’. We need more fluffy goodness about these two.
Remus x Nymphadora Tonks (Ronks): I like this pairing. They work well off each-other.
But, like Wolfstar, it’s so tragic and angsty. Also, there’s a shipping war
going on between Ronks fans and Wolfstar fans, which I don’t like. Can we please stop dissing Tonks already?
Hermione x Harry (Harmione/Harmony): Ew. They’re basically brother and sister, and their
personalities don’t mesh well at all. Having said that, on its own, the ship is
fairly harmless (they have a caring canon relationship), but a small minority
of the shippers are incredibly unpleasant. Not to mention the incessant
Weasley-bashing that apparently goes on in this ships fandom. The films didn’t
help.
Harry x Ron (Rarry/Harron): Cute. I’m all for Ron getting some love from people
who care about him. And Harry did consider Ron to be ‘the person he would miss
most’. As long as Hermione and Ginny aren’t bashed, I have no problems with
this ship. I actually really like the idea of Harry falling for Ron in the
post-war period, and then having a poly relationship (but without Harry and
Hermione dating; they both just really fancy Ron).
Hermione
x Ginny (Ginmione): Not really my cup of tea. Not terrible, but I find it
difficult to split up Ron and Hermione.
Hermione x Viktor Krum (Krumione): Ditto what I said about Ginmione. Expect the age
gap with Krumione is a little creepy.
Fred x Hermione (Fremione): Another ship that is tragic. I imagine that people
who ship this tend to cry a lot. Same opinion that I had with Ginmione; not
terrible in theory, but not my thing.
Hermione x Draco (Dramione): He wished death upon her repeatedly, and treated
her as less of a person based on her heritage. I don’t see how they could
become a couple. I personally think this ship became popular because Emma
Watson had a childhood crush on Tom Felton.
Hermione x Pansy (Pansmione): Why does this
fandom like shipping Hermione with literally everyone else? Pansy bullied
her repeatedly. So no.
Hermione x Snape (Snamione): This is wrong on so many levels.
Hermione x Tom Riddle (Tomione): What is wrong with this fandom?
Bellatrix Lestrange x Hermione (Bellamione): Seriously, outside of AU settings, how is this not
incredibly disturbing?
Ron x Luna (Lurron/Runa): Finally, a
ship that doesn’t make me want to vomit. Cute, and Luna probably did have a crush on Ron when she first
met him. I actually think this makes more sense than Ron’s brief relationship
with Lavender. Speaking of which…
Ron x Lavender (Ravender): JK Rowling really didn’t do a good job with this.
Lavender isn’t a bad character per-say, but Rowling definitely made her seem
worse than she actually was just so readers wouldn’t feel that sorry for her
when she and Ron broke up. I’m a Romione shipper, and I still Lavender was
treated unfairly by the author. Also, the way JK Rowling treated her as the
‘other woman’ and coded her as bad-for-being-traditionally-feminine was
seriously messed up. I don’t ship this at all, but I like it in fanfics where
Lavender calls Hermione (and, by extension, JK Rowling) out on her messed-up
behaviour regarding Ron.
Draco x Harry (Drarry): I used to not-mind it. Now, I’m not so keen. Draco
Malfoy’s personality really has to do a 180 before I can accept this anymore.
Also, the whole ‘he’s only mean to you because he likes you’ thing is toxic.
Harry x Severus Snape (Snarry): NO. Just… no.
Draco x Ginny (Drinny): I didn’t even realise this was a thing until @weasleyismyking540 started posting about it. Not really my thing, but no
serious opinion on it.
Draco x Ron (Dron): Again, I don’t like splitting Ron and Hermione up,
but this seems less harmful than Draco x Hermione because Draco didn’t regard
Ron as less-than-human like Draco did with Hermione. Not a big fan.
Poppy Pomfrey x Minerva McGonagall (McPop, as
suggested by @anniemay-af here): I don’t usually ship Hogwarts staff together, but I
can kinda see this working. And it’s nice to see these two usually-serious
people having a laugh with each-other.
Molly x Arthur (I don’t know the ship name): Yes. Duh. They fit so well together.
James x Lily (Jily): Same again here. I like how their personalities mesh.
Severus Snape x Lily (Snily): How about noooooo…..
Rose x Scorpius (Scorose/Rosius): Seems a bit obvious. Also, the whole ‘Rose in a
stand-in for Hermione, and Scorpius for Draco’ thing really makes me
uncomfortable. And you already know my opinion on Dramione.
Albus x Scorpius (Scorbus): Cute. They’re best friends who fall in love; that’s
a big plus for me.
