| Comment | Your guess is quite right. "Shipping" in the Harry Potter world means guessing which characters of the book will end up as a couple. It used to be some people's favourite pastime before the last novel was published. |

| Sources | maxxxpf, I guess you know "Strg+F"/"Ctr+F"? Then you'd find all occurrences without reading pages. In case your computers doesn't have that, examples are:
"ES: Harry/Hermione shippers: delusional! "
"JKR: Yes. Well, you see, I'm a relative newcomer to the world of shipping, ..."
(No, there's no context, at least none that I'd understand to be relevant. Except that they're talking about romantic relationships in the Harry Potter books.) |

| Comment | Warawara, is that usage of "shipping" specific to Harry Potter? Or to fiction? Or people in general? ... and as I said, is that general usage??
Thanks!

| Comment | "Shipping" is not specific to Harry Potter. It is mostly common among fans of TV shows and book series, describing the favorite couple they are rooting for. If you are on the Harry and Hermione ship / a Harry and Hermione shipper etc. you wish they would start or retain a relationship. |

| Comment | Good explanation by Zarisa.
to ship - to endorse a romantic relationship between two people.
"Oh I totally 'ship' them, they're perfect together!"
In irgendeiner Netflix Serie unlängst so in der Art gehört. Es scheint also bereits in der Alltagssprache angekommen zu sein. Also weit über "Fanfiction" hinaus, wo es mir auch zum ersten Mal bewusst aufgefallen ist (wenn sich z.B. Leute in Blogs darüber unterhalten, wer mit wem etwas anfangen sollte, um die Story voranzutreiben oder weil man eben Fan von zwei Darstellern ist). |

| Comment | #5 genau, und die so entstandene Kombination wird dann oft mit einem Amalgam der beiden Namen abgekürzt, also zum Beispiel "Charles&Camilla" würde zu "Charmilla". |
