Rowling got it wrong - Harry Potter

[CassandraElise]

*grins* And it is the same type of 'shippers, too. The Weasleys basically forced themselves on Harry and refused to fuck off (and I'm not completely against the school of thought re love potions either) and somehow a disturbing pre-teen crush with a good dash of Oedipal creepery is 'tru wuv', and a smart, ambitious, pretty girl ends up with a whiny, jealous deadweight.

I had the misfortune of being active in the Harry Potter fandom back in the days of the shipping wars. I was called every word under the sun for my daring to think that Harry and Hermione could be a couple and my refusal to kowtow to the awesomeness of the Weasleys. Needless to say, when I joined the Big Bang Theory fandom I was well prepared for the immature onslaught from the canon shippers.
