I only just finished the Harry Potter movies last weekend, marathoned the last three (and I'm not sure I've seen the one previous to that). I haven't read the books.
But I have to say, I thought that Neville/Luna was a stroke of genius too. They're both so dreamy/dippy, in perfectly complementary ways. And I was in love with the way that Neville turned into a quiet hero. He kind of fell into being rock-solid, surprisingly enough. Which complements Luna's knowingness.
I suppose I can see why you'd ship Harry/Hermione...but they didn't strike me as an OTP, really. (And even though the dancing scene was sweet, I didn't get 'chemistry' out of it.) And I do like Ron/Hermione. I agree that Harry/Ginny doesn't really make sense, and yeah, the actors kind of had horrible chemistry with each other. That's tough, though, when you're casting ten-year-olds for things that are going to happen 8-10 years later. You're kind of stuck with what you've got.
I enjoyed them, but it was hard to get really into them, since I'm not a hard-core book lover or anything like that. I really like them more for the movie magic, and the world it creates, I think. I am dying to take the set tour, if I ever get over that way.
As for The Artist, I really liked it. It hit just the right note, no pun intended. I was actually looking for Artist fanfic after I saw it, or fanvids. It just seems like they'd go well.
