Hi fellow Potterheads! As I may or may not have mentioned
last week, I am an active member in the Harry Potter fandom. I read the books,
watch the movies and read fan fictions on a regular basis. But part of being a
Potterhead is having opinions on what JK Rowling wrote for us. Some of us
choose to make up couples that would have made more sense to us. There are many
of these, and we call them ships (short for “relationships.”) I am going to
present you with a few, and tell my opinions on them so you will get to know
them better, and hopefully, start to form your own opinions. So here they are!
Romione (Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger): One of my
favorite ships in the series, Ron and Hermione. They seem like the perfect
couple to me! I like that Hermione chose Ron, who has been accused of being a
comic relief character, instead of Harry Potter, the obvious hero in the
series. He loved her no matter what, even when he thought that she was in love
with Harry near the end of the story, and the fact that they were together in
the end anyways is a perfect ending to their relationship in my opinion.
Hinny (Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley): And this ship is one
of my least favorite ships in the entire series, including the odd Bellatrix
Lestrange and Voldemort ship. They just seem so awkward in the movies, that the
ship was kind of ruined for me. If Bonnie Wright (the actress who played Ginny)
had acted the part better, I probably would’ve shipped them together. In the
books, I believe that Ginny is portrayed completely differently, and Hinny
could potentially have been one of my favorite ships. However, in the movies, I
ship…
Drarry (Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter): Some people think it
strange, but Drarry has to be one of my favorite ships, even though it never
happened in the books or the movies. For some reason, I could just see it
happening. Maybe fan fictions have swayed my opinion a little bit, but I just
think it could work out if the situation presented itself.
Wobby (Winky and Dobby): I personally think that this is the
sweetest and cutest ship in the series, because it involves my favorite
character, Dobby. Dobby always cared so much about Winky in the books, and
while they may have been only friends, I think it would’ve been cute if they
were a couple. Unfortunately, Winky wasn’t shown in any of the movies, so I
couldn’t see how that aspect of the relationship would’ve worked.
Now, I believe that it is some people’s goals to make up the
most ridiculous ships that they possibly can. While they may be odd, some of
them can be funny. Some of them can also be disturbing. But that’s just how any
fandom goes I guess.
Drapple (Draco Malfoy and a green apple): Draco has been
seen eating a green apple at least three or four times in all eight movies.
Some people have chosen to make it a ship. It’s ridiculous, and hilarious, and
odd. I love it.
Chickron (Ron Weasley and chicken): Ron loves food, and food
loves Ron. This ship could make its own
series, let’s be honest people.
And last but not least …
Hape (Hedwig and Snape): I can’t even with this ship. I
think, unfortunately, this ship needs a visual (sorry).
