The leaky cauldron interview with JKR - I just wanted to say that she missed the point on the couples things for many of us.

I know there are obcessives who clearly believe that one day their couple will be written into the books, but for the most part, don't most of us like a couple for liking them? For instance, I like the idea of Harry/Luna. It's not going to happen, but there's no reason why I can't like them as a pair in my head. She's talking about Harry/Hermione people being delusional and they should give up because it's never going to happen (that's the vibes I pretty much got from it, despite the way she was trying to be tactful), it's missing the point. Just because someone likes that pairing from her books, does not mean they are delusional. She can't control her fandom into shipping whoever she makes cannon.

I don't happen to like her cannon couples very much at all. Not because I have a grand scheme that I want to happen in the books with couples, I'm not that fussy with it - I like what I like, but I simply don't think that those two particular characters, from the way I have read and understood the books, are good for one another. Or maybe I think that it's all a bit dull as dishwater (Ron/Hermione is a het couple that's cannon that I would say I see and understand, but in my mind, there could be much for interesting avenues for them to explore).

And yes, Sirius never had time for a girlfriend did he? >:D Well, she's got to let one of her precious characters open to homosexual speculation right? Hehehe.

I just wanted a mini-rant on that one.
