Last full day at leakycon

And a topic has come up in a few discussions of the film

I'm not the only one, it seems, who wondered if Harry and Ginny were divorced or at least separated by the time of the epilogue, and just accompanying the kids together on such an important day.

Seriously, they don't interact, bump against each other, share a word or a glance, or anything atall in the epilogue. Draco is flirtier with Harry than Ginny is. And I say this as someonewho's been married 15 years -when my husband and I walk soewhere, we bump shoulders or hold hands or share a glance...

And Harry did that with Hermione and Ron. But not Ginny.

The film could have sold me on the two of them as a married couple - or even that Harry was pining for her. But I didn't get a hint of that at all.

That's definitely always been a popular opinion amongst the H/D crowd for the last four years, that the "nod" in the book meant something more and Harry and Ginny weren't actually together.

But honestly, I didn't see anything there that looked suspicious. There is a nice little moment when Albus falls behind to tie his shoe, and Ginny and Harry share a look that to me very clearly said, "Are you gonna take this or should I?" And then Harry went back to talk to him. That stood out as such a couple moment to me.

I 100% agree. I'm not a huge fan of H/G because I find it utterly unconvincing, but that shared glance re:Albus seemed very REAL and just like something that would happen between two people who've been together for so long.

Me too.

I don't think the film makers would intentionally go against canon for something like that. (Though there was the Neville/Luna shout out which surprised me and made me giggle because it was really cute!)

But as you point out fanfic writers certainly have been writing harry and Ginny as divorced since the book came out! (I'm surprised I haven't seen an 'EWE since the Carpet Book' icon by now ... or maybe I have and just don't recall ...LOL)

Absolutely.

That look was a full conversation. If people don't want to see it, they won't.
