I&#8217;ve read good and bad fanfic for both pairings, and there are good arguments to be made for both. (Although I have to say that considering strict canon, H\/Hr probably made more sense. Then again, Harry\/Luna would have made even more.) <\/p>\n<p>No, the reason for happiness in D\/G-land is that if H\/Hr was what JKR should have done, then, by logical extension, H\/G IS THE MASSIVE FAIL OF ALL TIME AND EVEN THE AUTHOR ADMITS IT.<br \/>\n(break for the Happy We Were Right All Along Dance. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n<p>Why is this important after six and a half years?

They weren&#8217;t just children&#8217;s entertainment; they were about something important.
