Ship:Harry/Hermione
From UnknowableWiki
Harry/Hermione, also known as Harmony and Pumpkin Pie, is a fanon heterosexual ship from the Trio Era involving Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. This ship is also known as Harmony; Harmonians, however, tend to be more radical than other H/Hr shippers. They truly believe that their ship can become canon someday, and that it is far superior to the explicitly canon ships Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione. This ship also thrives in fanfiction, being overshadowed only by R/Hr and H/G, and sometimes Lily/James and Draco/Hermione. A well-known example of a somewhat wanky Harmonian is Cassandra Claire.
Many of the wanky Harmonians were born after the release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Emerson Spartz and Melissa Anelli's interview with J.K. Rowling on July 16, 2005 brought up the topic of the newly solidified Harry/Ginny ship, and had Emerson mentioning that the Harmonians were "delusional" with Jo laughing along with Emerson and Melissa. Obviously, the Harmonians were upset with the humor at their expense. They formed petitions to J. K. Rowling, threatened to boycott the books, and sent in many unpleasant emails to MuggleNet, inspiring Emerson to create a whole new section for them on the Wall of Shame.
Despite the author herself denouncing this ship, nothing could curb the Harmonians' fervor. With increasingly outlandish claims, they slowly lost their prominence in debates as, for the first time, more important issues came to the forefront (namely, Snape's loyalties, whether Harry is a Horcrux, and whether Harry would end up living or dying). But the Harmonians kept resolutely claiming that since Harry broke things off with Ginny at the end of HBP, and Ron and Hermione had never started a relationship, that H/Hr would still happen. They even claimed that J. K. Rowling deliberately lied to Emerson and Melissa to trick them out of thinking that H/Hr would happen.
A popular Harry/Hermione site is Portkey.org, which also supports two other fanon ships--Ron/Luna and Draco/Ginny--and one canon ship, Lily/James. Considering their devotion to the Harry/Hermione ship, many Portkey members are unhappy about the Epilogue (DH); they often refer to it as the "Crapalogue."
