Ship Tease/Literature: Difference between revisions

* Overlapping with [[Ship Sinking]], ''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows|Harry Potter]]'' had Harry/Hermione shippers pretty pointedly teased by the scene in which Ron destroys the Horcrux: it belittles him, saying a lot of the same things that rabid Harmony shippers did (useless next to Harry, not worthy of a girl like Hermione, etc) and then shows him an image of Harry and Hermione passionately kissing. At this point, Ron smashes the thing to bits with the sword of Godric Gryffindor.

** Many Potterfans figured Luna Lovegood was introduced for the purpose of being Harry's intended, especially given the lengths JKR went to to establish their connection as "outsiders". And especially since - in the same book (''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix|Order Of The Phoenix]]''), it's stated that the reason Ginny could actually talk to him without blushing was that she'd gotten over her crush on him. (The ship was subsequently sunk and eaten by Harry's "[[Strangled By the Red String|Chest Monster]]" in ''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince|Half-Blood Prince]]'')
