It was, in fact, just an error on J.K.'s part. I flipped through a copy of Goblet a couple months after the release (I also have a copy with the mistake) to see for myself, and they were in fact switched to correct order. Sorry, nothing to see here.

Wow, I can't believe you would even pick up on that!

So shippers DON'T want any relationships? I was thinking shipper was someone who did, and a noromo was someone who didn't. I mean...I always thought these terms came from X-Files fanatics, like myself. So now I'm just confunded.

I don't like the turn of this thread. It's confusing me with all this super picking apart stuff. *runs*

No, you're correct, they do want relationships, but they're pissed that the relationships didn't turn out how they had wanted them to.

no thats not what i meant, i meant that since everyone is trying to figure out whose initials RAB are, i was reminded the time in the 5th book where the prophesy has initials on it.

Oh. I will just have to bow out of this conversation, because I am so bad with details.

Ok good, I'm still a shipper, phew.

i really hope ginny and harry stay together. sarah i used to annoyed with ginny too but no more, hahaha. however, ron and hermione WILL NOT WORK gaaaaaah

lupin + tonks is good

Why won't Ron and Hermione work?

Ron and Hermione won't work? Give me a break, she's been building it up since about the fifth chapter of the first book.

I'd forgotten about the initials on the prophecy. Dumbledore has a lot of middle names.

what's a shipper?

Somebody who dreams up who they would like to get together romantically in any sort of media, book or TV or whatever.

Its a supporter of a specific relationship. You know, relation'ship'...thats where the term comes from.

Or people can use the actual word.

No you can't.

What word? Relationship? How confusing would that get?

"Hey, did you read the latest Harry Potter??"
"Yeah, I'm so pissed about Ron and Hermione!"
"Ah, are you a Hermione and Harry relationship?"
"..."
"..."
"...my leg hurts."

I'm not sure having Ron and Hermione get together is being a shipper though. I mean...she's been setting it up herself. There's no denying. Now, I would say hoping Trelawney and Flitwick get togehter...that's being a shipper.

Or Harry and Umbridge? or Hermione and Snape?

I've been told fanfics exist to such extent. And I know a Hermione and Snape shipper.

Well some people just want the most bizarre combos to happen because it'd be comedic.

"Oh, Albus, I never thought it'd turn out like this!"
"Me neither," whispered Dumbledore, "Me neither."
"I'm so glad this happened!"
"Yes. Now, if you tell anybody about this, Dobby..."
"Oh yes! Anythings you say!"

Ron/Hermione has a big following.

I'm sure they could rival Cho/Squid. (kidding...kidding...)


I've recently been going through some HP message boards and the phrase "It reads like a bad fanfic" has come up so many times that it should be banned from the internet. These people get way too attached... sheesh. I mean, this is the book that they got so obsessed with that they actually ended up hating it.

am i the only person on the entire universe who can't get over dumbledore's death?

:(:(
