Harvati is the het ship between Harry Potter and Parvati Patil from the Harry Potter fandom.
Canon[]
Parvati Patil was, like most of her fellow Gryffindor students, friendly with Harry Potter. She defended him when an angry Professor Minerva McGonagall scolded Harry for the incident in their first flying class, doing so before even Ron Weasley did.
In fourth year, when Harry was Triwizard Champion and trying to find a date for the Yule Ball, he mustered the courage to ask Parvati following his rejection by Cho Chang. Parvati blushed furiously at being asked but agreed. Parvati seemed excited by having Harry as a date, though Harry had no romantic interest in her. When asked to dance by a boy from Beauxbatons, she asked Harry whether he minded. When it became clear Harry's attention was on Cho, she left without another word and was considerably cooler to Harry for the rest of the year.
Parvati's attitude toward Harry mellowed by the following year, and she gave no indication as to doubting his story of Voldemort's return, unlike her fellow Gryffindors Seamus Finnigan and Lavender Brown. She, her sister and Lavender all joined Dumbledore's Army that year. Parvati learned well from Harry and mastered the Reductor Curse under his tutelage. She and Padma helped Harry to destroy the speakers Dolores Umbridge set up around school with Babbling Beverage. She and Harry interacted regularly during their O.W.L.s (due to their proximity on the alphabetical roster, they frequently sat near each other).
In their sixth year, Parvati greeted Harry in a friendly manner and they shared mutual embarrassment at Ron and Lavender's exhibitionist romance. Parvati remained loyal to Harry and Dumbledore's Army, and found herself in hiding during her seventh year, later fighting in Battle of Hogwarts.
Fanon[]
Harvati is a rarepair in the fandom. Despite the fact that they attended an important dance together, which is typically good fodder for shippers, they do not receive much support due to Harry's general disinterest in her. Many believe that Parvati deserved better than attending the Yule Ball with a boy who only chose her as his last option. This ship is most often rivalled by Hinny, Drarry, and Parvender. Some fans even see the two as being queer students who bond over their feelings of compulsive heterosexuality.
There are currently over 200 works for this pairing on AO3. It is Parvati's second most popular ship.
