This sums up my reaction to Rowling's most atrocious crime in HBP.
ETA: I'm definitely sending this to JKR, both by e-mail and by snail mail through her publishers, in the hopes that one of them might reach her. I'm adding the following note, succinctly expressing our views:
To J.K. Rowling,
With the hopes and dreams of a ship that has fiercely defended and consistently uncovered depth in your writing...
Please bring the Hermione Granger we love back.
Sincerely,
The Crew of the H.M.S. Harmony
If you commented here, I'll add your name to a list of shippers right under "The Crew of the H.M.S. Harmony", unless you specify that you don't want to be added. I plan to send this out either on Friday or Saturday, so please let me know what you think.
ETA2: If you're going to reply, specifically to defend JKR and HBP!Hermione, please sign in or leave your name and contact info. I will respect you and address your points as long as you take full responsibility for your actions.
If you're a troll, kindly spend your time elsewhere. If common LJ courtesy is too difficult a concept for you to grasp, your post shall be removed.
