Reply to this post, and I'll tell you one reason why I like you. Then re-post this and spread the love.

Let's sayyyy ... Hermione Granger! (Kickin' it old school.)

[snowystingray.livejournal.com]

Ah yes, the days when I actually used to read large tomes brimming with words, as opposed to staring at a flickering screen all day...! How our fandoms change.

A) Hermione/Ron, obviously. OBHWF was basically my life from grade six until HBP came out and I realized how disappointingly lame Harry/Ginny turned out to be. :/ But the Ron/Hermione love? THAT LIVED ON. INTO ETERNITYYYY.

B) Hermione/Krum. Okay, um, to directly contradict what I just wrote above -- I did go through a period where I hoped they were in fact an endgame ship? Errr? Sorry, Ron. He's just so swoony and wonderful and holy mother of wish fulfillment. Over the course of my academic career, I'm sure I've spent literally years in the library, and never once did it lead to scoring hot babes. You get it while the getting's good, Hermione.

C) Hermione/Snape. Really, fandom? Really? (I mean, not that I generally have room to judge other people's shipping tendencies, but -- REALLY??)

D) Hm, I can't really think of any unpopular opinions I have from the books... As far as the movies go, though, I actually really love Emma Watson's Hermione in the first film. I know it's popular to hate the first two movies, but, man, she has so many great Hermione-isms in SS. (The meeting on the train? PERFECT. And "It's leviOOOOsa, not levioSAAAA" remains one of my favorite scenes from any of the films.) In all the rest of the movies I just see Emma-Watson-playing-Emma-Watson, but I think she had such a great Hermione-ish aura starting out.

E) Bellatrix Lestrange. Hermione already knows what she looks like naked, thanks to the Polyjuice Potion taken to break into Gringotts. There can be no romance without some ounce of mystery (for instance, the mystery of how Ron can go to bed every night without thoroughly flossing beforehand is one that will puzzle Hermione for years to come); and, sadly, the mystery of Bellatrix is gone. Two words: nipple piercing.

Meme the second -- I like you because you are just so darned enthusiastic about your fandoms! I don't know where you get the energy to be so continually productive in terms of picspams/fic/vids/cool fandom essays/etc. etc. Have you decided yet whether you want to stay on at university and do some student teaching? I honestly think you'd be awesome at it, because your excitement about your interests is quite infectious.
