I might be the odd one out, but I'd rather not have another HP book. I love the epilogue and the fact that JKR made it clear for all to see what happens in the trio's future. Marriage, kids, happiness. And in interviews post DH release she even elaborated a bit on their careers. Still she left much open for our interpretation, our imagination. To fill the gap in the seventeen years between the end of the war and the epilogue and the loooong time that comes after the epilogue (just look at the amount of Next Generation fan fics). I am happy with the story she told. I am afraid, with all our ex

Great, Jon. Now you've made me really hungry. When I first saw the fanart, I was scared it was really THE KISS. But then I realized it was a manip. A good one at that. Of course the real one will be even better. Maybe not so much the main course, but the cherry on top of the cake. Or the icing, Or the mousse au chocolat after a five-course dinner.

Too funny. Leaky had some kind of caption contest and this was the winner: Major LoL.

I'm happy to hear that Desplat did the music for DH2 too. Although DH1 and DH2 are counted and considered as two seperate movies, they are one entity. And that should show. We already know that DH2 will be faster and more action-oriented, but there should be some kind of continuity to both of the movies. Do we know how is the director of photography? Did Eduardo Sera do DH2 as well? As for the music: There just HAS to be a R/Hr theme. There just has to be. On the HBP soundtrack there is a Harry and Hermione song. Of course Gag. I'm just glad we got at least a Harry and Ginny song too.

Ha, ha, you're on a roll. Yes, it's simply THE KISS. No further explanation needed. EVERYONe with the exception of a select few know who is meant anyway. Luciana, I noticed they took moments from the books after I asked that question. I was too lazy, or rather my computer was so slow and I lost patience, to go through all 100 moments. Some of them were movie only moments too, but I agree it's pretty amazing THE KISS comes up on 18th already. I can't see the vid you posted from my country, Luciana.

I'm gonna check this. But how can they include moments they haven't seen yet? From what we heard from the lucky people who got to see the test-screening, the kiss - oops, sorry, THE KISS - will be really epic. Sounds to me more like a top 3 moment (well, for me personally likely No. 1 of course) In two months time, I will have seen the movie and THE KISS.

OMG. LoL. Katherine that was hilarious. Harry's funky dance moves. And you're all right. The pic with Ron holding Hermione in MM is just sigh-worthy. Is that a word? It isn't? Well, I guess I invented it then. Sigh-worthy. Ron and Hermione are sigh-worthy.

I think Ron looks kind of petrified. Maybe he had just witnessed Fred's death. He must have been devastated. Hermione looks like she just let go of Ron and reaches for something. Maybe really her beaded bag. Is that a scene from the trailer? LoL, these scenes flash by so fast, I only notice most of them via screencaps or these little animations. Btw, has anyone seen the Royal Wedding in London today? Wasn't Kate beautiful. And that dress was a dream. That's something I could see Hermione wear for her wedding.

Hermione, where did you get that pic in you siggy from? The one with the trio and Neville? I've never seen it. And OMG, have you seen the DH2 trailer. This is going to be epic, bombastic. And they even had a short R/Hr in it (a longer scene with them running in the RoR holding hands)

Happy Easter my fellow HeRos!! I so adored how Hermione put her head on Ron's shoulder at Dobby's grave and Ron stroking her hair. That was actually the scene we should have been watching at the end of HBP at Dumbledore's funeral. I'm still miffed they cut that out. Not just Ron comforting Hermione, but the whole DD funeral. Wrong, just wrong, IMO. Can you imagine? In 3-months time we'll have seen THE KISS. I also can't wait to see all that couply behaviour they'll supposedly show in DH2. More glances, more touches. And all of that culminates into THE KISS. And welcome to the for

What a great breakdown of all the R/Hr scenes in DH1. Thank you so much, you rock, girl. I think I'll have to fetch out the manual for the DVD-player of the tv-set, whichever, and look for this zoom in function. LoL I would like to say some words to H/G. It's really tragic, but movie-wise, this pairing is a catastrophy. I know some people didn't like how the couple was developed in the book either - and I'm not solely talking about H/Hr-ers - I personally did like the H/G romance, even if it doesn't come remotely close to how much I adore R/Hr. Ginny was more present in the books and

Katherine, Jon, Vida, Kristen et al. don't worry. Even after DH2 is out in the theatres, I won't go anywhere. And I know you won't either. We'll still be here discussing the books, the movies and what we think happened with R/Hr after DH2 until JKR finally delivers on that Encyclopedia she has promised us for years. LoL (and even beyond that). I finally have my DH1 DVD and rewatched it. I'm not as bothered by the dance scene anymore. If anything, it reinforces R/Hr because it clearly shows how miserable both are, especially Hermione. And it clearly shows, while it was a nice distraction for

I'm absolutely thrilled by what I hear about THE KISS so far. Count me in on those who will die with happiness. Unfortunately, I think resuscitation will be too late for me. I'll be gone to R/Hr heaven. I am a bit vary about possible comparisons between the FAKE LocketHarry/LocketHermione kiss and the REAL Ron-and-Hermione-love-each-other-and-finally-admit-it kiss. But I like what Dylan Spartz said. Definitely more energetic and passionate. H/HR was to creep Ron - and us - out. R/Hr is to ... well... "kill" us by the sound of it. I am a bit disappointed right now though. I was sure I'd

OMG, isn't that the sweetest scene ever???? I absolutely adore the Piano scene, but this has got some tension to it, if you know what I mean. I agree that it does look very natural, a bit like Rupert and Emma were being filmed skipping stones in between takes (I don't ship R/E though LoL) . While it's not a canon scene, I totally can imagine Ron and Hermione acting like that without Harry. The thing is, we don't really ever get to see them without Harry, but we know that they are spending time together alone. So they must talk about stuff we're not privy to, and they must do things like pla

Great read. Again, Luciana has found a gem. However, I have to disagree with this a couple of points: I take offense in the notion that Ron, at which point ever, wasn't worthy. He was always worthy. Of Hermione, of everything and everyone. All of them, Harry, Ron and Hermione were always worthy of each other's friendship and love. Yes, they have flaws and they needed to mature and grow up. But being immature and inexperienced doesn't make someone unworthy. It just makes someone unready. So, Ron had to become ready for a mature and committed longtime relationship (as did Hermione) and

I remember the discussions on the Ron/Hermione thread on another forum prior to the release of DH. Most of us posters on that thread - me included - thought JKR would get Ron and Hermione together at the beginning of DH and we would get to see them as an actual couple throughout the book. A bit like "get it out of the way and concentrate on the main story". I did like how it played out, but I still think she dragged the whole R/Hr resolution out a bit too long. Seeing how close they were at the end of HBP, it kind of made no sense for them to dance around each other until the end of the book.

That's amazing. Yes, our couple is bewitching (pun intended). I am looking forward to how the reception of R/Hr will be once the promotion really starts, and lets not forget once THE KISS will be played over and over and over again. I guess a clip of that on YT (AFTER the movie has been released in the theaters please!!!!) would be on top in no time.

Happy Birthday, Ron!!!!! Unbelievable, we've followed you through your hardships during childhood and the teenage years and now you're 31!!!!!!!!!!!!! That vid played at the Oscars is amazing. What a great recognition. In what context was it presented?

Jon, I agree with your assessment on Ron and Hermione in OotP. I think I said something similar about R/Hr in OotP in one of my previous posts a couple of pages back. Although on the surface we don't seem to have big R/Hr moments like the Yule Brawl in GoF for example, I think a lot happens in the development of their relationship. This! I too don't want to be spoiled about the kiss. Or at least I would like to have the chance to decide if I want to be spoiled and not have pics or descriptions jump out at me when I come here. I know no harm was meant by the posters posting the pic and fo

Of course they have to!!!! R/Hr has won pretty much every poll for the last couple of years, just the end of last year they were elected most romantic onscreen couple in this one online poll, and they aren't even officially an onscreen couple yet!! So the magazines should finally see the light and stop thinking it's all about the hero Harry and his female best friend (ever so often unfairly shunting the other best friend, Ron, who is part of the trio too, aside). They have to pay tribute to the cutest (well to me) literary and onscreen couple: Ron and Hermione.

Which spoiler are you talking about? One we've already discussed or a new one. Wanna share?

Guys, I guess most of you have seen the latest outtakes from the EW 2009 photoshoot with Rupert and Emma on the R/E thread. But since not every HeRo is an R/E shipper too, here is a link to the pics ICM gallery I don't ship R/E, but I love seeing pics like those, because I like to think of them as Ron and Hermione posing for their engagement photos.

Congrats, Jon. I didn't even know there was such a vote going on, but then again, how could I have chosen between all my R/Hr friends on here? Nonetheless, well deserved, Jon. I agree with all of you on the relatability of the characters. They can do magic, but aside from that, they have the same problems, feelings, wishes, faults, virtues, values or dreams as we all have. And the relationships they have with family, friends, partners, are of the same kind as the relationships we have. That's why we relate. To some characters more than others. I personally always saw familiar things in

I think Ron, as the sixth boy in the family, kind of got overlooked too many a time in the family. Not purposefully or maliciously, he was loved and well cared for. But he never got the attention Bill as the first born got for example. Or the twins as ... well ... the twins, or Ginny as the youngest and only girl. Therefore, Ron naturally was craving attention and recognition, as we could see in the MIrror of Erised. Of course when it comes to the object of your affection, you want to be noticed, just that Hermione tended to play her cards close to her chest and she didn't allow herself too of

Because I'm a party pooper. LoL. No, seriously, I just want to keep my expectations as low as possible. Which is hard to do anyway what with THE KISS just around the corner. This scene wasn't part of the book - Ron and Hermione talking about the Locket Horcrux, I mean - so it's not very likely it will be added. But I would love to see it. Basically, I would have loved to read about it in the book. I always wondered if, when and how the two talked about the time when Ron left, the effect the locket had on him, what he saw in the Locket-vision and what Hermione endured in MM and how hearing R
