Fandom Familiy

My eldest sister has just finished reading the seventh Harry Potter book and in firmly in the Epilogue? What Epilogue? camp.

Which makes me happy.

Due to her dissatisfaction she went online to find analyses of the books and from there the jump to fanfiction wasn't far.

She's been reading Snape/Hermione fics.

This makes me ecstatic!

We spent the whole evening discussing Dumbledore (is he good or is evil - we say very not good indeed), our hatred of Hermione/Ron, and why the epilogue was full of crap!

My *squeeee* will never be harshed!

Heee. Family interests are always a great, great thing, aren't they?

Also, Dumbledore is definitely not a good man...but Ron-Hermione is supposedly destined, because every smart girl needs an oaf to fall madly in love with.

I hate that "Destiny", all it does is entrench the notion that smart girls settle for less.

Wouldn't be much of an adventure story between a boy and his mates if Hermione went with someone in Ravenclaw whom she was happy with. They'd be stuck trying to have wacky hijinx with Luna Lovegood or something, and heaven knows that just wouldn't fly...

It would have been much better had Hermione actually gone with someone her equal or Ron turned out to not be quite so much of an oaf as the books went on, but no, he's stuck in his role, too.
