So don’t try to talk me out of shipping them, please. It’s actually kind of personal and tied to real feelings.

I’m not going to try to talk you out of it, but that doesn’t mean that those of us who ship Ron/Hermione feel any different. That’s linked to real feelings too, and even for similar reasons.

Just sayin’.

Wasn’t addressing you <3 :) Why the fuck are you awake?

Ok so I tried to type this on my iPhone this morning and I accidentally lost it. But I really wanted to comment on this!!

I am not trying to talk you out of shipping anyone, but Harry and Hermione’s relationship is special to me for a very different reason. I truly believe their strength lies in their platonic friendship. Reading the books and seeing Hermione’s care for Harry was the first time I (having gone to an all-girls Catholic high school) saw the power that lies in a non-sexual, non-romantic boy/girl relationship.

I think the HP film crew hit it out of the park when they had Harry and Hermione dancing in DH Part 1 - one of the best film additions ever, IMO, and you can really see how they support each other through anything. That scene really drives the point home for me, and the Harry/Hermione dynamic reminds me of the relationship that I have with my closest male friend. (I already plan to dance to “O Children” by Nick Cave with Scott at my wedding.)

So by all means, Harmony it up, but I just wanted to throw in my 2 cents rooting for their friendship too. And I might agree with you about Ron not being the ideal partner for Hermione.

I wonder what britain’s going to do when its 20 actors die

I thought British actors were like phoenixes. Instead of dying, they just burst into flames and then a new British actor rises from the ashes and takes their place.

Quote reblogged from Travel Channel with 6,503 notes

I beg young people to travel. If you don’t have a passport, get one. Take a summer, get a backpack and go to Delhi, go to Saigon, go to Bangkok, go to Kenya. Have your mind blown. Eat interesting food. Dig some interesting people. Have an adventure. Be careful. Come back and you’re going to see your country differently, you’re going to see your president differently, no matter who it is. Music, culture, food, water. Your showers will become shorter. You’re going to get a sense of what globalization looks like. It’s not what Tom Friedman writes about; I’m sorry. You’re going to see that global climate change is very real. And that for some people, their day consists of walking 12 miles for four buckets of water. And so there are lessons that you can’t get out of a book that are waiting for you at the other end of that flight. A lot of people—Americans and Europeans—come back and go, ohhhhh. And the light bulb goes on.

It blows my mind when people say they have never had a passport or even traveled and seen more than their hometown/neighboring State. Yet they get paid occasionally and spend money on things they’ll forget soon. A passport for U.S. Citizens costs ONLY $135. You can travel anywhere and everywhere with it. The first step is always getting the passport, then you’ll experience magic.

Travel is by far the best education money can buy.
