Harry Potter–Force Awakens Ships We’re Pining For

One of the best parts of letting The Force Awakens into our hearts is that it can now frolic around in there with all the other denizens. Specifically, we can’t resist mashing up the Potterverse and the galaxy far, far away and imagining the sparks that would fly between wands and lightsabers. Here are a few ships we’d love to see, and feel free to add your own in the comments!

 

Kylo Ren and Bellatrix Lestrange

Ship Name: Kylatrix

Okay, we’re not saying we’d want to live in a galaxy in which these two shacked up, but you’ve got to admit they’d be kind of perfect together. Bellatrix needs more affection than she could ever get from the Dark Lord, and Kylo needs to work out his mommy issues. It’s a match made in the darkest depths of our imaginations.

 

General Hux and Pansy Parkinson

Ship Name: Ginger Pug

He’s into people who support his every decision. She’s into pale dudes obsessed with power.  They would support each other in all their conniving, gossiping, and support of their even paler supreme leaders.

 

Princess Leia and Sirius Black

Ship Name: General Snuffles

Can’t you just see it? She loves a rough-around-the-edges scoundrel, and he desperately needs a strong woman who won’t take any of his attitude. These two could manage a whole world of mischief together.

 

Dumbledore and Luke

Ship Name: Skybledore

They’ve both been through a lot, and seen their students turn into their enemies. They could commiserate about the old days, share beard-trimming tips, and good-naturedly quibble over whether magic or The Force is stronger.

 

Finn and Ginny Weasley

Ship Name: Finny

Finn only needs two things out of a relationship: someone to believe in him and someone who be the boss in all perilous situations. And Ginny only needs one thing out of a relationship: someone who will not, years later, decide they would have been happier with Hermione.

 

Harry and Rey

Ship Name: Chosen Orphan

Frankly, I don’t think anyone but these two can understand what it’s like to be abandoned one minute, have the fate of the world thrust on your shoulders the next, and possess almost unbelievable skills at flying. They would be perfect together, although it would probably take Harry years of red-cheeked, slack-jawed adoration before he worked up the nerve to talk to her.

 

Poe Dameron and Viktor Krum

Ship Name: Wonky Faint

“That was some nice flying, man.”

“No, it voss you who flew vell.”

You can just build your fan fics around that.

 

BB8 and the Flying Ford Anglia

Ship Name: 8Glia

They would have such adorable, rambunctious, wheeled offspring. (Putting the “spring” in “offspring”!)

 

So who do you ship? Obviously Hermione is the glaring omission, but who is really good enough for her?
