I would defintiely love to see them portrayed as a thorougly happy loving married couple that is still touchy-feely in the epilogue. Scratch that. I NEED to see them as a thoroughly happy loving married couple that is still touchy-feely. As for an added scene, I kind of hope Ron and Hermione get to talk about what Ron experienced with the locket-horcrux, but I'm not really banking on it. This. Dan, Rupert and Emma are the trio onscreen (I do envision the characters slightly differently while reading, though) and I think I would have a hard time seeing other actors playing them, even in

I am definitely. Ron has always been a very protective person when it came to his family and friends and especially Hermione of course. They did show a bit of that in the movies too, i.e. Ron defending Harry from Seamus in OotP. I am still annoyed beyond words that they changed the DADA class scene in PoA when Ron defended Hermione from Snape's insults in the book but they made him agree in the movie. I guess that scene goes down as my least favourite of the movies, yes even less than the dance in DH1 or the Shrieking Shack in PoA when they gave Ron's line to Hermione, or the final scene in

This is such a wonderful pic. I wonder if this is after... you know ... Fred dies. Ron certainly looks not phased at all by the Horror Hermione (and on the trio pic Harry too) seem to witness. He might be preoccupied with grief? Poor thing.

Sorry for the double, but I just found this on another forum. On Imdb they voted for the scenes they looked forward to the most in DH2. Here it is from No. 32 to No. 1 I just had to LoL and squee at this.

I think the movies would be closer to the books. And the movies would be more coherent and consistent. No contradictions, no plotholes. Case in point: in DH1 Dobby enthusiastically greets his Mr Wheezy, says it's nice to see him again. Well, unfortunately Ron and Dobby never met in the movies before. So when and where did they meet? I guess something like that wouldn't have happened had the movie makers known all the movies. Also, the movie makers would have a much better understanding of which parts to keep and which parts to cut. But then we wouldn't have had the pleasure to see Dan, Rupert

When I first started reading the books in late 2005, after HBP had been released, I already knew it was going to be a seven part book series and that each book encompassed one year in the trio's lives. So, they would be 17/18 at the end. And from a co-worker, who was a huge HP-fan, I had heard some talk about Harry having his first kiss. So when I started reading, I knew there would be some kind of romance sometime later in the series. I didn't specifically look out for clues though, R/Hr just was obvious to me. I wouldn't even say I shipped back then. I knew they were going to happen and I

No, there is a hug in the PoA book too. It's just in another scene. It's when Ron offers Hermione to help her with the Buckbeak case appeal (she had just word from Hagrid that Buckbeak had been sentenced to death). Hermione breaks down into his arms and apologizes for Scabbers. It's the resolution of their Crookshanks/Scabbers fight. One of my absolute favourite scenes in the books. In the movie, they replaced that with the hug after Buckbeak's "execution". I told this multiple times already, but I'll gladly repeat: I knew it was going to be Ron and Hermione for sure when reading CoS. It was

Jon, I think your assessment on how the movie audience will react to THE KISS is spot on. I can totally imagine an outburst of wolf-whistles, awwws and applause (maybe even standing ovations? ) I will smile, swoon and melt and search for the remote control to rewind and play that scene over and over again and then it'll hit me that I'm in the movie theater and that I will have to wait until November / December when the DVD comes out and I can watch the scene over and over again. DH1 DVD comes out in Germany only at the end of April. That's still an eternity to go.

If anyone had ever any doubts about where Hermione feels safe the most, about who is her personal Knight in Shining Armour, this scene brings home the point. At her most weak and vulnerable there was only one pair of arms she could find safety, solace and comfort in: Ron's . I'm still a bit disappointed we didn't get the despearate screams from Ron in the movie, but who knows? Maybe it just wouldn't have worked. Ron still was Hermione's life-saver, charging forward to disarm Bellatrix. "Like Hell". But I would love love love if Hermione could talk about how Ron saved her and made ever

Hi my lovelies. Well, I don't ship R/E or any RL couple for that matter, but I found this somewhere and thought you'd like it Rupert and Emma 10 years Ooops, sorry, I just saw you already know this. Stupid me, how could I think some gem like that would have evaded your attention until now.

I can't believe I missed Jon's b-day. Happy belated Birthday, Jon! OMG, THAT scene is so wonderful. Thanks for posting it, Luciana. And Vida, I agree it was a very pivotal point for Ron to finally show his understanding. That's what I loved about the scenario, as I said. But I am not (yet ) as bothered about them changing this scenario for the movie as I normally would be, being the canon purist I am. I guess I'll have to reserve judgement about how the movie scene works untl I see it. 6 months and 4 days!!!! Ron and Hermione are

Back to the Sanatorium I am. Isn't the source for the CoS-KISS spoiler the same as the one for the R/Hr scene alone at Shell Cottage which we had a couple of weeks back? I took that back then with a grain of salt as I would take this spoiler ... had I read it. Generally, I really don't mind spoilers, but I feel like I know too much already about the MOVIE-KISS of the Century (let me exaggerate a bit, please). I'm afraid I will get spoiled too much. I really would be devastated if for some reason I got to see THE KISS before I sit in the theater watching the actual movie. And I will restr

Just out of curiostiy, might be I misunderstood. But do you ship R/Hr because of R/E? I don't ship RL couples. I was R/Hr even before I watched the first movie. Ron was my favourite character right from the beginning, although I loved all of the trio of course. I found the R/Hr dynamic endearing but it wasn't before I read CoS that I thought something could develop between them.

What a great way to start THE YEAR OF THE KISS with that beautiful video. Equally as good as the "Lights will guide you" one that was linked to a couple of pages back. I just rewatched both and really got a bit teary eyed. *sigh* I know R/Hr is just a sub-plot and I love the whole story. I love all of the trio and Harry is so dear to me as well as Ron and Hermione. But this love story between Harry's two faithful friends is such a gem. In Literature as well as in movie history.

Luciana, you're brilliant. 2011: THE YEAR OF THE KISS A very Happy New (Ron and Hermione) Year to All. What we've been waiting for since at least July 2007 (or maybe even since the begining of the HP movie history) will come to pass. Finally!!!! Yes, if R/Hr already managed to outdo Bella/Edward and all the others as Movie romance of 2010 even if they're not together yet and haven't kissed yet, then there will be nothing to stop them becoming cutest, best, most romantic romance in 2011 (or even movie history. But I am biased of course). Hope you all enjoy New Year's Eve and

It makes me weak and melt each time I think about it. How Hermione could focus on performing the Obliviate spell after that is beyond me. LoL Just goes to show how awesome our girl is, I guess. That's one of the reasons Ron loves her so much. Awwwwwww. I do remember seeing Hermione holding on to Ron's shirt as if her life depended on it (which it sort of kind of did, I guess). Accio DVD (including Stone-throwing scene!!!) These 7 months will fly by so fast. We will fill the time with speculation, discussion, obsession and general R/Hr celebration. I heard on another forum that we migh

Kristen, I so agree with that list. Maybe not in that exact order, but generally you nailed it all. Excpet you forgot one of my faves, which is the cheek stroking in the café. *swoons* And I didn't notice so many of the details. Really, Ron put his cheek against Hermione's head at Malfoy Manor? I need to see the movie again, but RL was so busy and exhausting lately. I only managed to see the movie in the theater once. I'm a loser, I know *hangs head in shame* Anyway, not too long and we'll have the DVD and I will get to see the R/Hr goodness over and over and over and over again. [quot

Yes, I'm a bad bad girl *hangs head in shame* LOL. No, really. I am looking forward to see the stone throwing scene so much that I'm afraid it will end in a huge disappointment and not be included on the DVD at all. I recall there was a report on a R/Hr scene they apparently shot for OotP. It was in the MoM and it actually showed Ron saving Hermione from a DE. She was cast into the air by a DE's spell or something and then Ron caught her in his arms. *swoon*. We were obsessing over this scene in the old forum back then, but in the end it got cut from the movie and never made any DVD edition.

Roni, those banners are great. Make that 30 pounds for me and we haven't even seen the end yet. LoL. Here in Germany, we celebrate the 26th of December as the second Christmas day, an official holiday, too (I think it's Boxing Day in the UK?) So, we'll have a big meal for lunch. Yumm. I kind of understand why they decided to not include the stone-throwing scene in the movie. It would have contradicted Ron's growing suspicions and jealousy about H/Hr in some way. Why worry about them if he'd just had this tender and flirty scene with Hermione? Hence they cut it. I now hope we're r

1. There was no such thing as a H/Hr kiss. Harry and Hermione never kissed, neither in the books nor in the movies. Period. 2. The Fake Horcrux-locket kiss was in no way romantic or hot or passionate. Two ghostly figures eating faces? That's certainly not romantic or passionate in my book. The Fake Horcrux-locket kiss, showing two ghostly figures, which were supposed to look like Harry and Hermione served its purpose of being horrible and disgusting. Evoking a reaction from Harry "It's lying!!" and Ron barges forward to destroy the locket. 3. The R/Hr kiss will be the one between two ch

Of course I didn't mean to generalize. I'm sorry if it came across that way, should have used some kind of disclaimer like "some" or so. However, if you read that sentence in its context I think (hope) it's clear it was a reply to the linked blog and people who argue likewise, not to ALL H/Hr shippers. I have the impression that shippers, whatever they ship, who need to denigrade other characters or relationships to argue for their ship, must not be very secure in their own ship in the first place. I am sure you could provide a lot of arguments on why H/Hr work, just as I can do the same fo

The name alterations aren't an issue for me either. At least not a huge one, although I felt at times Hermione calling Ron "Ronald" sounded a bit condescending. I'm also a canon-purist and just couldn't resist pointing out that Hermione in the books always calls Ron "Ron", except this one time. Lizzie Bennet and Mr Darcy, Beatrice and Benedict, Katherine and Petruccio .... the list of classical bickering couples is impressive and Ron and Hermione belong on that list. They already are a classic literary couple too, IMO.

In the movies. NOT in the books. Like jmc said, in the books, Hermione calls him "Ronald" only once and that's when she even uses his full name "Ronald Bilius Weasley" when he returns in DH. So basically, this excessive use of "Ronald" is a movie invention. "Mione" is fan-fiction. I will need heaps of tissues in DH2 I guess. Tears of sadness for our fallen heroes and tears of happiness for all the wonderful, lovely R/Hr bits.

Thanks. Fair point. What do I look forward to the most in DH2? I am so thrilled that Rupert said something like R/Hr will be very coupley touchy in DH2 and I'm certainly looking forward to all of that. My expectations for THE KISS are so high that I'm starting to fear that I will be disappointed somehow. The WB just has a history of muckng up my favourite scenes, so idk. But I know there will be a scene when Hermione consoles Ron - likely after Fred's death. As horrible as the fact of Fred dying is and as sad as that scene will be, I am looking forward to that. It will show the deep ca

I hope many of us HeRo people join that thread and argue for R/Hr. Just that a few of us think it interesting to try and see the H/Hr side. As I said in one of my posts there, no arguing AGAINST R/Hr (which I would never, never ever do), but trying to find arguments for H/Hr. Arguments that do NOT include denigrading Ron or Ginny. There is also one H/Hr s shipper there who agreed to play "devil's advocate" in favour of R/Hr and she said some pretty accurate things about our beloved couple. Too true. But what can we do? People are just like they are. I don't mind if some like that "kiss" an
