Sub Manifesto

We lost. There's no nice or pretty way to put it. Harmony is not a canon ship. There is no way to change that. We could debate for days, meticulously craft arguments, or turn out thousand of fan works. But we can't change J.K.'s mind. She made Romione and Hinny the canon ships. That is a fact presented in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and reinforced in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. We can't change that. However, what we can do is continue to celebrate the (fairly-large) portion of the fandom that continues to believe in this ship. Let me reinforce that. This sub is devoted to celebrating the Harmony ship, not dragging down Romione or Hinny. You can of course debate the validity of anyone of those pairings, but we shouldn't fall victim to the trap that is "if Romione is a bad pairing, then of course Harmony is a good pairing". Don't attack others' pairings simply to prove yours right.

Harmony shippers often are viewed negatively in the fandom, particularly due to a small but vocal subset of Harmony fans who reacted (incredibly) negatively to HBP and DH, going as far as to stage book-burnings and send hate mail. This sub aims to change the view of Harmony fans by creating a space Harmony fans can celebrate our view of canon, rather than dragging others down.
