rhrshipper

What I feel after reading and re-reading the interview is that, JKR has now made R/Hr relationship look not only believable from the books, but also 100% realistic!!!!. Ron and Hermione had their flaws and yes they were different in many ways, but they were still attracted towards each other, an attraction - not primarly based on phsysical appearance- that slowly but steadily grew over the years. If the R-Hr love story was made to come out of the blue in HBP(like H/G IMO)- I dont think we would have enjoyed it and it would have looked incredulous for two opposites to fall for each other one f

^^.. Thanks Trixie... The full interview is out guys... All is well.... You can read it here:http://www.mugglenet.com/jkrint-wonderland-020714.shtml JKR says that Ron needs to work out on his self-esteem and Hermione on being less critical, She says that Ron and Hermione need to sort out their incompatibilities, which would be okay when they are young but not during adulthood. She says that Harry and Hermione would have been a good couple, but girls like Hermione would like someone like Ron to lighten them up and with a little bit of counselling Ron and Hermione would come good i

True.. I hated the movies for portraying Ron as a whimpering and cowardly sidekick. What enraged me the most was when in PoA. Ron's character defining confrontation with Sirius in the Shrieking Shack where he stands up on his broken leg and yells" If you want to kill Harry, you will have to kill us too", was stolen and given to Hermione. Ron was instead left to cower in a corner of the room, which is such an injustice to the character. If JKR's comments are true, then it would be the very creator who would also be showing injustice to Ron.

In a fictional world, people get drawn more towards ideal characters who are perfect or near perfect- like Harry, Hermione, Lily and Dumbledore. Ron is one of the most realistic characters in ther series who has certain flaws(just like all of us) but still a very noble character on the whole. Some readers tend to pretend as though they do not have any flaws and so they do not like Ron. If we analyse Ron's character from a broader perspective, it is no surprise that Ron may be having some of the insecurities which any person in his position would have had. Ron's deepest fears were: being unlo

Very true Mr PumpkinHead, the fact that inspite of R/Hr relationship just being a subplot in the HP series, it is kind of amazing to see the overwhelming response from the fans- R/Hr shippers as well as the neutrals alike - who have been venting out their frustration and shock at the comments.. This shows the kind of support for R/Hr and the unabated love for the couple even years after the entire series came to an end... Personally. it also boosts my liking and empathy towards the character of Ron Weasley- who is my favourite fictional character ever- who taught me that you can have your fl

Yes MrPumpkinhead, the more I read the comments, the more baffled I am, I do not understand why on earth would JKR ever make such a comment, 7 years after the release of the final book. You are spot on about Ron finally being treated exactly the way he feared others would treat him- I thought it was just the movies which did him disservice, but now the author herself?? Let us wait till Thursday folks.... I hope sense prevails...

Can't help but admit that this totally unexpected and uncalled for relevation has shaken me a bit, but it doesnt change my opinion on R and Hr in any way. Let us wait till Thursday for the full text and see what it was all about...

The article has stirred up a hornet's nest in the fandom. The shipping wars seem to have resurfaced in all other sites. This is exactly what the folks who released this liitle extract with out of context quotes wanted- to promote the magazine and sell a hot topic. The full interview will be released on thursday and the war of words will continue till then. Relax friends.. It is clear that JKR wanted R and Hr to be together from the start and she has her own personal reasons. She doesnt say anywhere that she regrets it as claimed by the article. As for me; the entire HP series would

I do not see anything wrong in the interview First of all where in the interview does JKR say that R/Hr was a mistake? She just tries to appease the H/Hr shippers out there that she is sorry she didnt put H/Hr together.. Just like how she apolgized for killing Sirius, Lupin and other characters off.. Now does this mean JKR said Killing Sirius was a mistake? No.. HP takes a deviation from the usual cliche of the main female character falling for the hero, which is kind of an obvious thing to happen. Instead, she chose to bring the hero's 2 best sidekicks together.. It was a gradually

Hey cbmac, I dont know it could be from a fanfic, I found it in another forum and thought of sharing it here.. Hermione's response would be "I met this most insensitive wart who had the emotional range of a tea-spoon"..."And finally ended up marrying him.. " I always love the way the "insensitive wart" fell for the "nightmare"... Kudos to JKR for having portrayed a gradually evolving and realistic love story in the background of all the adventure and action... R/Hr forever......

Awwww.... So cute: All credits to the original creator of this pic...

Thanks cbmac... As you said, R/Hr are just perfect for each other... I am not a big fan of the movies, but a hard core fan of the books. And I am very happy that JKR made the couple so endearing.... Another cute thing I loved is: HP and the Socerer's stone: “Yes — of course — but there’s no wood!†Hermione cried, wringing her hands. “HAVE YOU GONE MAD?†Ron bellowed. “ARE YOU A WITCH OR NOT?†“Oh, right!†said Hermione, and she whipped out her wand, waved it, muttered something HP and the Deathly Hallows: “How — how’re we going to get in?†pante

After completing yet another re-read of HP series, I now realize how beautifully JKR has portrayed the evolving relationship between Ron and Hermione. I found lots of lots of instances towards the end when we see Take this particular instance: DH Chapter 15: Goblin's Revenge “My mother,†said Ron one night, as they sat in the tent on a riverbank in Wales, “can make good food appear out of thin air.†“Your mother can’t produce food out of thin air,†said Hermione. “No one can. Food is the first of the five Principal Exceptions to Gamp’s Law of Elemental Transfigur —†â

Epic transition: Book 1: Ron: "She is a nightmare... Nobody can stand her..!!!! " Movie 7: Ron: " You are mad.. We wouldn't last two days without her...!!!!!! " R/Hr forever...!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you cbmac... I have been having loads of free time this month and I straight away started on a HP Book Marathon reading.. Finished re-reading 4 books over the past week and starting with OOTP now.. While re-reading, I came across many cute and little R/HR moments which I have never noticed before. And it is so obvious after the Yule Ball that Ron and Hermione and going to be together,..!!!!! While reading the scene after the Yule Ball, when Ron and Hermione have a heated squabble in the Gryffindor common room, I just shouted out "Oh Ron! Why dont you just say that you love Hermione

I was re- reading OOTP the other night and I chanced upon this cute R/Hr moment which I had not noticed during my previous reads: “Christmas before last Sirius gave me a knife that’ll open any lock,†said Harry. “So even if she’s bewitched the door so Alohomora won’t work, which I bet she has —†“What do you think about this?†Hermione demanded of Ron, and Harry was reminded irresistibly of Mrs. Weasley appealing to her husband during Harry’s first dinner in Grimmauld Place. Harry knew it long before that they would end up together...

Superb compilation of GIFs.. Thank you for sharing.. I love the last one, the moment at Shell Cottage where Ron holds Hermione, as she finds solace in his shoulders- this moment parallels the HBP6 Book moment at Dumbledore's funeral. I am so happy that they included the shot for Dobby's funeral at least.... Does anyone have a front view pic of this scene? R/Hr forever....

Hello all. I have been a hard core R/Hr Shipper, right from when I read the first Harry Potter Book. Even though I have rarely posted in this thread, I have been following this thread for a very long time, and it is very nice to read through your discussions and your varied approaches about the relationship. I love the way the relation has been developed by JKR- she is an amazing author, from small fights to jealousy to friendship to finally falling in love. I am not a great fan of the movies, I am a book purist. The most striking aspect about this relationship is that it is very realsitic

Guys, As i was re-reading PS book for the nth time last day, i just found something startling which i think was an indirect heavy clue dropped by JKR in the first book itself. In the book after the boys save Hermione from the troll JKR has penned : ""But from that moment on, Hermione Granger became their friend. There are some things you can't share without ending up liking each other, and knocking out a twelve-foot mountain troll is one of them." --pg 179 (American Edn Last line in the chapter Halloween" Now i might sound stupid but just look at it in this way. It was Ron who actually kn

I watched the movie 4 the 2nd time 2day.... Luvd the kiss even more...... And I loved Hermione's beam when Ron races after Malfoy.... And i thought Neville said something about Luna to Harry which i failed 2 catch properly. I became emotional when i saw the trio 2gether in thw last scene... And as the credits started rolling i realised that we won't get 2 c them 2gether anymore.... H/R/Hr Rock... Thank u JKR... They'll stay fresh in us 4ever... And i simply loooooooooove the books.,,,,,

One thing that frustrates me is Ron's lack of emotion when Harry says he's gonna die. Hermione hugs him but Ron doesn't say anything and mere;y looks on.. I found this wierd. He must have objected Harry from goin. at least according to the books Harry is more closer to Ron bur rhis was poorly porerayed in the movies.. ven when Harry is 'dead' Ron just looks on glumly without much emotion. I hate the script writer for this......

After having read all those reviews about the kiss, i went to watch the movie today tensed and without my expectations. Bu i must the say that the kiss was SIMPLY HOT. The best on screen kiss i've ever seen. There was so much of emotion in it and Rup and emma have done it so well..

just b4 the kiss................. :3m_sie:
