+383 Not saying that they weren't a good couple, but it seems that J.K. Rowling put Hermione with Ron because to put her with Harry would have been too cliche, amirite?

From the beginning, it's made clear that Ron and Hermione were well-suited to each other and not Harry and Hermione.

I actually liked Harry and Hermione. Ron was either there or not. He might've walked away or is in an injury, but he doesn't really do as much as Hermione and Harry.

Then you probably must've only watched the movies cause that's not true.

I agree with Black and I read the books long before seeing the movies.

Then please tell me how he doesn't do as much as Harry and Hermione, because I don't think so. And Hermione knew more than him because she was the smart one and stuff, so which is why she may have contributed more.

That doesn't make much sense. However, I can tell you that there were not many romantic parts up until the fourth book or so. Before that, it would have been both predictable and reasonable to put them together.

Actually, I've read all the books but I haven't seen all the films.

I think people were put off by the fact that Hermione is so stunning in the movies, because in the book, Ginny was the amazing one.

Exactly! I always find myself shipping Harry and Ginny while I'm reading the books, but Harry and Hermione while I'm watching the movies.

Yeah, Emma really dropped the ball on the whole "looking-like-an-undesirable-nerd" thing after the first two movies. At least Ginny was always gorgeous, though.

Yeah. I'm not saying Emma Watson should make herself look worse, but Hermoine was supposed to have bushy hair and buck teeth.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Well, the buck teeth disappeared after the whole Malfoy jinx incident.

they tried giving her buck teeth as part of her costume in the first movie, but then she couldn't talk, so they just scrapped it.

But what about Ginny. Ron couldn't be with her, so who would she end up with o.O

No because the whole Hermione and Ron thing started sort of showing in like the 4th book, before Harry even hooked up with Cho.

From the very beginning Ron and Hermione complemented each other. They were sort of opposites, and they drove each other crazy, but the way JKR wrote it, these factors only contributed to their compatibility. JKR spent seventeen years planning and writing the series. I don't think she just threw Hermione with Ron as a default after realizing that it would be stupid to put her with Harry.
