Two sidekicks with very little in common, or connection outside of Harry. I mean, I love Willow/Xander and all, but they had their own relationship outside of Buffy whereas R/Hr is entirely formed round Harry.
Yeah, the sextet in the Ministry is great, and I feel like I should be kind of head smacky at Harry for falling for it because Harry is a far from perfect character. But that dynamic could have been the foundation for some awesome storytelling, but she just didn't go there, for reasons that I'm not wholly clear on, besides it not fitting with her outline which makes you wonder why she had it happen in the first place.
I've forgotten that part, I remember the "love her like a sister" bit which make me make faces at the book and have to walk away for a bit, until I just decided to laugh at it, because it was really just dumb. But as far as story structure I had fewer issues at least. Or I just cared less by then.
