Harry and Hermione would be perfect together, and I don't get why JKR doesn't either (a) see that or (b) want that to happen in the books. I read in the mugglenet interview that she thinks it will be more heroic for Harry to do it alone, without his parents, sirius, dumbledore, (who she's all killed off) or... Hermione, who would be the ultimate support system!
true true. i saw the anti-r/hr....and i loved it!!! 😄

Seberstylemasta, read the rules located HERE. I've already stated that you are not to come in here attempting to defend the couple. Please refrain from doing this. 😉
Anyways, I'm with you all about that comment. Ron isn't a good qudditch player, Hermione meant what she said. She's too good for immature Ron. Sorry, he's a loser to me. Ron always got on my nerves, sorry to say.
I thought it was pretty funny in HBP where Harry corners Hermione after Quidditch trials to ask if she had really Confunded MacClaggan, and then Ron appears in the doorway and demands: "What're you two doing?" Probably thinking that they're doing something illicit.
Obviously he knows that Harry is much better than he is and is slightly jealous of him. 😂 So he would expect her to like Harry more, as also indicated by his own actions in OotP.
"Oh," Ron said, his smile fading a little. "Are you that bad at kissing?"
"I dunno," said Harry, who hadn't considered this, and immediately felt worried. "Maybe I am."
"No, you're not." Hermione said absently.
"How do you know that?" Ron demanded.

Ditto!! He always got on my nerves... I was never a big Ron fan, even before all this shipping stuff. He's never seemed too understanding of Harry's situation, no one likes a jealous friend.

Haha....worried that she's already kissed Harry now, aren't you, Ron? 😆
hahaha...very true!! i agree that ron hasn't been a fav. character of mine. his jealousy is always getting in the way and always causing trouble.
sentiments:
I get it now. The hero only ends up with someone beautiful enough to have attracted many men, so as to be a worthy trophy. He ends up with that girl with the beautiful hair and lovely features. He ends up with the one who does not question him or ask him to justify himself. He ends up with the one who will fulfill her feminine role in the most traditional of ways by remaining unquestioningly loyal and jumping to his defense should anyone dare to criticise him. He does not end up with the bookworm, who doesn’t have time to do fix her bushy hair because she is too busy finding ways for him to stay alive. He does not end up with the best friend who has proven herself a hundred times over as the most remarkable witch of her generation. He ends up with the beautiful, popular, funny, exciting, sporty girl who just happens to have a mean bat-bogey hex that she can use when the going gets tough. (However did she keep all that fabulousness hidden?)

did you change sides now ? all of a sudden ?
No No, I'm sure she hasn't changed sides. If you read what she wrote it just sounds like she's angry and annoyed (which i am as well) that harry went for the popular girl. We all know that he only noticed Ginny once it was common knowledge that she was "pretty" and "popular". That choice in my mind lowered my opinion of Harry so much. My opinion of Hermione was also lowered after jkr wrote her in the 6th book... she seemed different then in all the other books. not as compasionate, which is horrible because she has always been my favorite charcter.
