Hermione and Ron I always figured would get together eventually. But Harry/Ginny? I thought they were trying to redo his parents a bit too much.

Well, that isn't really relevant because Snape still did everything in his power to protect Harry. Dumbledore's faith in Snape shouldn't have anything to do with who Snape dislikes personally. He still protected Harry. yes he protected Harry. A reason he never found out why until Snape died. Something Dumbledore didn't think necessary for Harry to know. Did he not think that Harry wouldn't want to know about his mother? If anyone could have told him something, it would have been Snape. Almost like Dumbledore set out to keep them apart. And remeber? Dumbledore did apologize for having Harry learn occulemancy from Snape. Dumbledore has assumed that his faith in Snape would have kept Harry safe. And look what happened. Snape kicked harry out of his room, and harry's mind was left open to an attack by Voldemort which led to Sirius dying. I didn't like Dumbledore, either. But to be fair, no one can guess that if someone hates another person, they will also hate that person's child. It's not reasonable at all. So Dumbledore's trust is Snape was purely personal trust. It's not like he could have known that he's hate Harry. He couldn't have figured it out until Snape actually encountered Harry. I just really hate all of Dumbledore's secrecy. But maybe all of Dumbledore's secrets could have led to his downfall if he told Harry. I mean, since Voldemort could access Harry's mind. I just don't like how Harry was an open book and Dumbeldore was a book fresh off the prints that was never touched by a human being lol.

I find Luna an annoying little Mary Sue. But then, I team Cho (even though I can tolerate Ginny).

I don't know if this is that unpopular but I loved Narsissa Malfoy from the offset.

Another list of unpopular opinions.
- I started to strongly dislike Harry after book 5 and really hoped that his death in the last one was permanent
- I always thought Voldemort's plot was stupid and that he wasn't a great villain. Why attack the "Mudbloods" and children of muggle parents instead of attacking the MUGGLES first? If you weed out the muggles, then there won't be any chance inter-breeding between muggle and wizard kind, so no worries of Muggleborn children. It seemed like a very poorly thought out and backwards working plan.
- I always shipped Ginny/Harry since book 2. But when she joined the Quidditch team and suddenly went from being this shy, soft-spoken, timid child to BA and dependent, I found her development unrealistic and Mary-Sue like
- I didn't like Neville in the last book. Like Ginny, I felt his change was too fast and unrealistic. And Neville used to be my absolute favorite character too with Ginny as second. I liked the timid characters and felt Rowling made them change too fast.
- I, and I'm ready to defend myself on this, did not have a huge problem with the epilogue. I was already too busy fuming over the showdown between Harry and Voldemort to be bothered with making a strong opinion on a scene of Harry taking his kids to school [though, come on JK. Albus Severus? Really?]. I had been doing school essays on JK Rowling since I was in 5th grade because I loved her and her story and background and the one thing that always stuck out to me was "The ending is 12 years in the making". She had the ending plotted since the first book, she claims, and what do we get? 12 Pages of Dialogue while Harry and Voldemort side step in a circle then two spells and Voldemort's dead. It was so effing drawn out for so long only to have the actual ACTION only last 2-3 sentences. I had to read over the line of Voldemort falling back from EXPELLARIMUS like six times to realize that THAT LINE was the line I had been hyping over since I was in 4th grade. It was, by far, the biggest disappointment in, I'd have to say, my life. And nobody ever agrees with me.

The others i dont feel too strongly about one way or another, so I left them out. But these two. The battle had some truely awesome and epic moments, but the final battle between voldy and harry was kinda...short. Or maybe that's because the stuff leading up to it was more interesting than the end result. And I feel sorry for his kids names, though I can understand why he would want to name them after people he respected, though Albus Severus...thats a sad name to saddle a kid with. With a lot of history. of course Al is an appropriate nickname, but enough of that. And yeah. Voldemorts plan was...lame and not entirely thought through.

One other thing to add. I hate that Molly Weasley killed Bellatrix. Should have been Neville. Molly had no reason other than a spell ALMOST hit Ginny.

No she killed Fred too and the signs are....at the beginning he slept in the cubpoard under the stairs and coming out if the closet is pretty much the most popular phrase for becoming gay and also and before hogwarts he was going to go to stonewall high and stonewall is a real organization for gay people and in Goblet of Fire everyone else had their girlfriends (with an exeption of fleur but that was her sister) and harry had ron to save from the mermaids if you need more tell me
