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.

I have to agree. I was never super-shippy about the HP books; I have a soft spot for Harry/Hermione but always figured it would be Ron/Hermione and Harry/Ginny in the end. I found neither ship overly compelling in the final book but bought them more than not. Whereas Ron/Hermione was far more believable in this film than in any other, Harry/Ginny was even less so. I mean, could that kiss have had any less heat to it? So the fact that they came across as near-strangers in the epilogue sadly fit the rest of their interactions. ITA with those that said his reunion with Cho had more genuine emotion to it.

And Neville/Luna was the best of them all, thanks to a nice moment from Matt Lewis and Evanna Lynch.

I could believe that Ginny and Harry are separated or perhaps amicably divorced by the epilogue. (The wedding ring he's wearing could of course be for his second marriage.)
