Favorite Pairings in Harry Potter

[codygotkilld]

I'm kind of shocked that this thread has not been made yet. So, I decided to give it a go and ask the big question. Who are your favorite pairings in the Harry Potter series? Mine would look like the following.
Harry/Susan
Harry/Luna
Harry/Daphne
Hermione/Fred
Hermione/Young Sirius
Ron/Luna
Fred/Luna
George/Angelina
Remus/Tonks
Charlie/Tonks
Bill/Fleur
Severus/Lily
Sirius/Marlene
Sirius/Amelia

These are the main pairings that I enjoy reading about but I also like most Harry/secondary female character fics just for the build up of some of the background characters.

[Silvertongue]

Harry/Draco
Harry/Severus
Harry/Lucius
Harry/Voldemort
Harry/Tom Riddle
Harry/Fenrir
Harry/Charlie
Harry/Fred/George
Harry/Viktor
Harry/Any Male Death Eater
Sirius/Severus
Remus/Sirius
Severus/Remus
James/Severus
Lucius/Severus
Fred/Draco/George

Het pairings I'm willing to read are:
Harry/Daphne
Harry/Astoria
Harry/Any Slytherin Girl
Harry/Fleur
Harry/Susan

(I'm sure there are more but I can't think of them right now.)

[mountaingirl777]

Harry/Ginny
Harry/Hermione
Harry/Luna
Ron/Luna
Ron/Hermione
Fred/Hermione
Fred/Luna
Fred/Angelina
Bill/Fleur
Bill/Hermione
Bill/Lavender
Charlie/Hermione
Charlie/Tonks
Remus/Tonks
George/Hermione
George/Luna
George/Angelina
Neville/Luna
Neville/Ginny
Seamus/Lavender
Draco/Hermione
Draco/Luna
Draco/Ginny
Severus/Hermione

The whole thing with Bill/Lavender is that they both were attacked by Greyback and I think it is cute to read about him helping her through everything. Severus/Hermione is only certain fics, it has to depend on how it is written.

[isk2837]

Harry/Hermione is my favourite pairing overall, though I'm OK with Harry paired with most female characters, barring those that are significantly older than him, or wrong for other reasons, as long as the story is good. Besides Harry/Hermione I'm particularly fond of Harry/Ginny, Harry/Luna, Harry/Susan, Harry/Fleur, and Harry/Daphne.

For pairings not involving Harry I particularly like Bill/Fleur, James/Lily and Remus/Tonks.

[Serena R. Snape]

for Het:

Harry/Luna
Harry/Hermione
Harry/Susan
Harry/Tonks
Severus/Lily
Severus/Hermione
Severus/Tonks
Remus/Tonks
Remus/Lily
Remus/Hermione (time-travelling or not)
Sirius/Hermione
Fleur/Bill
Ron/Hermione
Ron/Luna
Luna/Neville
Harry/Daphne
Draco/Hermione
Draco/Ginny

for Slash:
Harry/Severus
Harry/Remus
Harry/Draco
Harry/Sirius
Harry/Bill
Harry/Charlie
Harry/Voldemort
Harry/Lucius
Remus/Sirius
Sirius/Severus
Remus/Severus
Fred&George/Harry
Severus/James

and others, but I can't recall them at the moment. My favourite pairing for slash is a tie between Harry/Severus and Harry/Charlie, while my favourite het pairing is Harry/Luna.

[viralic1]

Harry/Hermione
Harry/Tonks
Harry/Fleur
Harry/Susan
Harry/Daphne
Harry/Luna
Hermione/Neville
Neville/Luna.
James/Lily
Sirius/Marlene


I don't really read much else, most of the stories I read are Harry Centric.

[kumainpink]

Sirius/Remus
Neville/Luna
Nevile/Harry
Ron/Hermione
Remus/Peter (Marauder's past only, before the betrayal)

[Dimcairien]

I'm a canon girl for the most part, so the ships I like are.

Harry/Ginny
Ron/Hermione
James/Lily
Remus/Tonks
George/Angelina
Bill/Fleur
Seamus/Lavender
Oliver/Katie
Lee/Alicia

The only non-canon pairing I like are
Charlie/Tonks (for this, I like one-sided. eg, Charlie has a crush on Tonks, but she doesn't return it)
Fred/Angelina

[shinethedown]

My favourite ships are all cannon bar one.

Harry/Ginny
Ron/Hermione
Remus/Tonks
Luna/Neville etc etc

[Choices HP]

I'm cannon pairing all the way. However, while writing Changing the Future: Deathly Hallows I thought a Fred/Luna pairing might be interesting, though I never got around to writing it in my sequel.

Luna/Nott

Luna/Zabini

Ron/Harry

Hermione/Severus *
Lily/Severus
Hermione/Sirius *
Marlene/Regulus
Charlie/Hermione
Hermione/Draco
Hermione/Theodore Nott

The couples that I have stared usually consist of time travel and are usually closer in age. I find it difficult to read about them in the present, even if they are well written. Also, while I like Remus/Tonks I prefer Remus/Sirius. Oh, and while I've never once read a Marlene/Regulus fic, let alone actually find one. I actually fell in love with them due to a roleplay I was part of. I'm sure there are more, but those are all I can think of at the moment.

[rikustark]

Hermione/With almost every male character.
Sirius/Remus
Luna/Zabini
Ginny/Zabini
Voldemort/Quirrell (blame Starkid)

I do enjoy all cannon pairings, but I wouldn't read fanfiction if I wanted cannon.

[Trilonias]

Harry/Ginny

Everyone else is more or less up to debate with me, but I have to have that pairing. Though I prefer if characters stick with their gender preferences... like Albus being gay.

[Spaz86]

Harry/Ginny
Harry/Luna
Harry/Daphney
Hermione/Ron
Hermione/Fred
Hermione/George
Hermione/Sirius (time travel)
Hermione/Remus (time travel)
Hermione/Anthony (only found that in a side pairing)
Ron/Hermione
Ron/Luna
Neville/Luna
Neville/Susan
Neville/Hannah

After those then it really doesn't matter who else is with anyone. And some of them just kinda creep me out... Like twincest... Eeew

[sn0rkack]

Harry and McGonagall if its done right

There are quite a few actually but I prefer the less violent/forceful ones. I'm not actually reading any at the moment.

Remus/Fenrir as a bg pairing. And Albus/Gellert.

[Animikokala]

Harry/Ginny
Harry/Luna
Harry/Daphne
Harry/Severus
Harry/Tom Riddle or Voldemort
Neville/Luna
Remus/Tonks

I greatly prefer Harry-centric stories, so most other character pairings don't really matter to me.

Not a big fan of Harry/Hermione, since they usually follow the basics of: Harry/Hermione discovers Dumbledore is manipulating/stealing from Harry and paying off Weasleys, Ginny and/or Molly plans to feed Harry a love potion so he marries Ginny, Harry suddenly becomes intelligent and logical and usually ends up preferring to use muggle ways for laws/means of doing things or solving problems, and Ron is suddenly revealed as having been a closet blood purist who is only interested in Hermione's body....

Unless they are really well written or don't follow that general outline, I tend to avoid Harry/Hermione pairings.

[Silvertongue]

I greatly prefer Harry-centric stories, so most other character pairings don't really matter to me.

Same for me. Anything not in Harry's point of view is weird for me to read. Not reading his name is also weird.

[blackroses77]

harry/severus
harry/draco
harry/lucius
harry/remus
harry/sirius if part of a threesome, for some reason i don't like just harry/sirius
harry/bill
harry/charlie
harry/viktor
harry/marcus
harry/cedric
harry/OMC
harry/fenrir
harry/voldemort only if voldie did what he did because he was forced or he was framed. I can't stand stories where harry allies himself and/or falls in love with his parents' murderer not to mention everything else voldemort did

any combibation of the above in a threesome except twincest or draco and lucius together.

I only read harry centric stories but love the following couples as secondary characters in the story

ron/hermione
fred/hermione this couple has fasinated me ever since i read rowling was originally going to pair them instead of ron/hermione
sirius/remus
sirius/severus
remus/severus
lucius/severus
any combination of the above in threesome
neville/luna
ginny/any slytherin
hermione/any slytherin
dean/seamus
severus/lily
severus/draco

[Silvertongue]

The Back In Time RtB fic has made me love the idea of Fred/Luna, at least I think it is that fic.

Draco/Lucius disgusts me tbh.

I like most threesomes. Mostly including Fred and George. Or Sirius and Remus, or Lucius and Severus.

[blonde geek]

Het Pairings
Harry/Luna
Harry/Daphne
Harry/Susan
Harry/Hermione (depends on how it is written)
Harry/Fleur
Remus/Tonks
James/Lily
Bill/Fleur
Neville/Luna
Neville/Hannah
Hermione/Regulus (this is in time travel & reading the books fics with teenage Regulus)
Hermione/Fred
Hermione/George
Fred/Luna
George/Luna
George/Angelina
Draco/Luna
Ron/Lavender (for comedy only ;D ;D)
Alice/Frank

Slash Pairings
Harry/Draco (only if it is written well though)
Harry/Charlie
Harry/Bill
Sirius/Remus
Remus/Severus (Again it depends on how it is written)
James/Sirius (Another where it has to be well written)

I also like fics where Arthur divorces Molly and finds someone better, as Molly is another character that really annoys me.

I only like a few of the canon pairings. You may have noticed that there is no Ginny anywhere on my list and that is because I really hate her character, and I try to avoid fics with her in if I can.

[blackroses77]

There have been a couple stories that looked really good but then I read the warning and find out it has both lucius and draco with Harry and I'm completely grossed out. I just can't get past the father/son relationship, the same with fred/george I can't get past the fact they are brothers.

[readingwizard4]

For Het I like Harry with a lot of different people
Harry/Ginny
Harry/Hermione
Harry/Daphne
Harry/Susan
Harry/Katie
Harry/Alicia
Harry/Angelina
Harry/Tracey
Harry/Astoria
Ron/Hermione
Ron/Luna
Ron/Daphne
Ron/Tracey
Hermione/Regulus
Draco/Hermione in comedic story only AVPM/AVPS
Colin/Ginny
Colin/Astoria
James/Lily
Alice/Frank
Sirius/Marlene
Remus/Tonks
Remus/anyone else from Marauder era
I can also see Lily with Sirius or Remus
On Harry with Ginny or Hermione I like both but sometimes I just want a bashing story on Ginny and Ron. Depends on my mood I guess

I don't like many slash pairings except Harry/Neville and Harry/Krum

[biakit]

My OTP is James/Lily and I like cannons like:
Harry/Ginny
Ron/Hermione
Remus/Tonks
George/Angelina
Bill/Fleur

non-cannon:
Harry/Draco
Harry/Sirius
Harry/Remus
Sirius/Harry/Remus
Fred/Harry/George
Harry/Charlie
Charlie/Tonks
Harry/Daphne
Neville/Luna
Fred/Hermione
Fabian/Harry/Gideon (time traveling of course)
Salazar/Harry/Godric (time traveling too)
Severus/Harry/Charlie (though I don't really like Severus/Harry and the one I read it's abandoned)
Sirius/Marlene

I really like threesomes with Harry, I think you might have noticed that. It depends on my mood what I'm going to read.

[dracosfairmaiden]

My favorite parings are James/Lily and Bill/Fluer. I like Harry/Ginny if they actually took it slow and got to know each other. I hated how their relationship is written in canon. I prefer fanfiction versions of their relationship.

All in all, I'm a pretty canon person except for Neville/Hannah. That doesn't make any sense to me. For me, it's Neville/Luna all the way.

[sn0rkack]

Harry and Daphne mainly cause shes an OC side for being a Slytherin. Harry and Tonks is always interesting too, though there isn't much room to work (in my opinion) seeing as Harry can't really be considered match-worthy till during or after his fifth year.

[Isilarma]

I tend to read canon stuff, but I'll try most things as long as it's well written. No threesomes/harems or incest though. Ever.

My favourites:
Harry/Ginny
Harry/Hermione
Harry/Luna
Harry/Daphne
Ron/Hermione
Fred/Hermione
George/Angelina
Bill/Fleur
Neville/Hannah
Luna/Dean
James/Lily
Severus/Lily
McGonagall/Moody
Salazar/Helga
Godric/Rowena
