As the Harry Potter fandom took off after the release of ''Goblet of Fire'', Harry/Hermione was one of the two major [[shipping]] factions.  Early communities such as [[Harry Potter for GrownUps]] had endless [[Ship War|debates]] about whether Harry/Hermione or [[Ron/Hermione]] (and sometimes [[Harry/Ginny]]) would become [[canon]].  These debates generally bred ill will between the opposing sides and sometimes deteriorated into [[flamewar]]s.

The H/H-versus-R/H ship war continued past the publication of ''Order of the Phoenix'' and came to an abrupt halt with the publication of ''Half-Blood Prince'' in 2005, the book that [[canon]]ized [[Harry/Ginny]] and [[Ron/Hermione]].  A post-HBP interview with [[J.K. Rowling]] further angered those who thought Harry/Hermione would become canon: interviewer [[Emerson Spartz]] called H/Hr shippers "delusional" and Rowling implied that they had missed "anvil-sized" hints from the first four books.<ref>[http://www.mugglenet.com/jkrinterview2.shtml MuggleNet and The Leaky Cauldron interview Joanne Kathleen Rowling]. 16 July 2005.

There was so much [[wank]] involving the ship and its [[Harmonian|die-hard shippers]] that [[fandom_wank]] eventually banned all H/Hr wank and a separate community, [http://www.journalfen.net/community/hp_cornfield/ hp_cornfield], was created for it.
