Well, now we have had two disparate views of the connection between Harry and Hermione, and I, for one, think it is time for a male to give voice to his opinion.
This editorial is both a review of the previous two relationship articles, and a filler piece for points which both left out. For, while both articles were arguments for why, or why not, Harry and Hermione would form a relationship, there is one aspect which Lisa, author of "A Heart Once Given . . .", quickly dismissed, and Angua, author of "D'you Really Think They're Suited?" only briefly mentioned: Ronald Weasley.
While I understand that both authors were giving an exhaustive look on the relationship solely between Harry and Hermione, neither one took into an account that peoples' relationships are also based off of their feelings for others outside of said relationship.
And lastly, we will look, not at where the story seems to be headed, but rather at where JK Rowling is taking it. Because, when all is said and done, the characters' loves, motivations, and choices all belong to her.
I will also operate under the assumption that anyone who cares to read such articles will have read the books for themselves, and do not need me to point out every instance where the characters have come into contact with each other. Which will hopefully both make my editorial shorter, and keep it relatively free of page numbers. I will endeavor to use quotes as little as possible, and only to illustrate a point.
The first editorial was "A Heart Once Given . . ." so it is logical to begin there. To be fair, I went into this article with a firm background of disbelief. "Ron and Hermione all the way!" was my thought, and I was surprised that this article was able to sway my opinion at all. Which to be sure, it did. When I was finished, I began to think that perhaps Hermione has unspoken feelings for Harry, just as the author was trying so valiantly to display. It was also apparent, through the same article, that Harry had no such feelings for Hermione, and thought of her as no more than a "good friend." Something that I believe was known to the author, though she tried to hide it as best she could by never mentioning what Harry might have been feeling during the instances she illustrated.
Yet, upon rereading the many quotes this article used as evidence, while skipping over the overly romanticized, wishful thinking of the author's interpretation of these quotes, I realized that none of them show any sign of romantic feelings on the part of Hermione. Rather, they show only the platonic love one feels for any friend who is going through a rough spot, and is in danger of coming upon serious injury, death, or other general dismemberment.
It also operates upon a fatal flaw. The author states, time and again, that Hermione chooses to spend more time with Harry than Ron, citing instances such as Harry's row with Ron where they were not speaking to each other in the first half of GoF, and she spends a lot of time with Harry in the Library. Lisa states, "One would wonder, therefore, why she chooses to spend more time with Harry, knowing that it could fuel Ron's insecurities further - it would seem a rather odd decision to make, if she is supposed to be developing feelings for Ron."
Well, why would she choose to spend time with Harry instead of Ron when they are estranged from each other? It is simple if you look at the root of the argument. Ron believes Harry put his own name in the Goblet of Fire, and feels left out. While Hermione knows that this is untrue. Hermione also spends much time trying to reconcile them, going back and forth between them, trying to get each to apologize. She knows the truth, and so she is supporting Harry. Ron, at this time, does not wish to hear the truth, or be around anyone who supports Harry in this, so Hermione has no choice but to spend time with Harry, as her other constant companion is operating under an assumption that she knows to be untrue.
The statement is also flawed in that it comes before the Yule Ball, which is when Ron first comes to realize that Hermione is in fact female, and that his interest in her may be more than that of a friend. Something that Hermione realizes before even the Weasel King! and Harry agrees with.
(pg 432 GoF, Am. Scholastic pb, ed.)
"Well, if you don't like it, you know what the solution is, don't you?" yelled Hermione; her hair was coming down out of its elegant bun now, and her face was screwed up in anger.
"Oh yeah?" Ron yelled back. "What's that?"
"Next time there's a ball, ask me before someone else does, and not as a last resort!"
Ron mouthed soundlessly like a goldfish out of water as Hermione turned on her heel and stormed up the girls' staircase to bed. Ron turned to look at Harry.
"Well," he spluttered, looking thunderstruck, "well - that just proves - completely missed the point -"
Harry didn't say anything. He liked being back on speaking terms with Ron too much to speak his mind right now - but he somehow thought that Hermione had gotten the point much better than Ron had.
Hermione's anger, and her disparaging of Ron's methods for choosing a date to the Yule Ball before any of this happens, shows that she is jealous of the type of girls that Ron is attracted to, and angry that he does not see her in this light. In fact, it is my personal belief that the whole reason she spent so much time making herself up, was to show Ron that she could look like those girls if she chose, but that she considers it a waste of time. Case in point, look at the many times she glances at Ron to see if he notices throughout the course of the Yule Ball, as well as Ron constantly searching for her, never making the connection between the "pretty girl in a blue dress" and Hermione, because he simply cannot believe that Hermione could, or would, so drastically change her appearance.
The author also conveniently chooses to skip over instances where Hermione spends time solely in Ron's company. The most telling of these are at the beginning of OotP, while Harry is trapped at the Dursleys', and Hermione and Ron are together at Number 12, Grimmauld Place. Despite the many other people that are there, Hermione chooses to spend her time with Ron. Over the course of many weeks, it would seem they formed a bond, much like that shared between Harry and Ron.
(pg. 64 OotP, Am. hb. ed.)
[Harry] glanced up just in time to see them exchanging a look that told him he was behaving just as they had feared he would.
This is the sort of silent communication that we have seen many times between Harry and Ron, but this was the first time it has been displayed between Hermione and Ron. It happens quite a few more times throughout the fifth book. Such as when Hermione brings up her idea for starting a Defense Against the Dark Arts Group. Also note that when Harry arrived at Grimmauld Place, Hermione was alone with Ron in his room, showing that they spent time together, rather than with Ginny or the Twins.
It is safe to say that since the argument in the Gryffindor common room after the Yule Ball, Hermione and Ron have both come to realize that they may have feelings for each other and their attitudes toward each other have changed. They have a conversation without Harry, I might add, where they agree to stop bickering all the time in OotP. From that point on they both manage to keep their opinions and tempers largely in control. Though not completely, and I ask you, where would the fun be in that if they did?
Furthermore, the many arguments between Hermione and Ron show that they are both passionate people, and this passion is often released on each other. For those who believe that a relationship where the couple argues so much will not last, look at the Weasel King!s own parents. They bicker constantly, and yet they have a happy and healthy relationship, and obviously no trouble in the bedroom.
While "A Heart Once Given . . ." does an excellent job of putting a romantic spin on Hermione's feelings toward Harry, it completely dismisses the laundry occasions where she displays the same sort of feelings for Ronald Weasley, and perhaps a bit more. She often uses Krum to incite feelings of jealousy in Ron, while Harry is completely unfazed.
Then there is the other end of the spectrum. "D'you Really Think They're Suited?" is an attempt to show the side of the relationship which Lisa's article never commented on. Harry's feelings for Hermione.
However, Angua took it to a rather far end of the spectrum I would label, "extreme." She uses the many instances where Harry is annoyed at Hermione's behavior to paint a picture that comes close to hatred, and ends at barely tolerating her presence, for the sole sake of Ron's feelings. While I do not believe this was the author's intent, it would appear from the comments of my fellow readers that this is the understanding that they reached as well.
Hermione is the living embodiment of Harry's "Voice of Reason." She is the cool logic that often plays devil's advocate for Ron's rather wilder, more foolhardy views. Harry and Ron can both be reckless and quick to jump to conclusions. They also have a strong streak of procrastination, and their willingness to copy others' homework and notes show that they are both members of a rather old and time-honored Tribe to which I have the honor to be a member. They are both slackers.
Without Hermione, they would both be in danger of failing and dropping out. Imagine if she were not a member of their little circle at all. Rather than spend any time studying and doing schoolwork, they would both no doubt be playing Wizard Chess and sneaking off to the Quidditch Pitch to fly their brooms. This is a fact that both Harry and Ron realize. While Harry finds constant studying to be boring, and Ron would simply find something else to do, both of them flounder helplessly when Hermione refuses to allow them to copy her notes, or to check their homework.
While Harry and Ron both become annoyed with Hermione's constant nagging about their homework, and are exasperated by her "know-it-all" attitude, it is a mild annoyance, and an amused exasperation, that neither one of them would trade. With friends you take the bad with the good.
Yet, I agree that this attitude of Harry's shows that he is incompatible with Hermione on a romantic level. Harry shows beyond a doubt that he is bored senseless when he spends time with Hermione alone, participating in activities that she enjoys. The impression I got from their time in the Library together was more that this is what Hermione would be doing regardless, and she allowed Harry to spend the time with her, as generally he would have been playing Wizard Chess or Exploding Snap with Ron during these times. As both Harry and Ron always believe Hermione is in the Library when one asks the other where she is, this seems rather logical.
The fact remains, however, that Harry and Hermione seem incapable of enjoying time spent together without Ron. While Ron and Hermione, on the other hand, seem to enjoy each other's company and get along well even when Harry is not there. As most of their arguments stem from what they think is Harry's best course of action, I would even stipulate that they do not argue so much when he is not around. The evidence for this exists in the time they spent at Grimmauld Place alone, time which we, as mute eyes in Harry's head did not get to witness.
The effects of this time, however, are plain throughout the remainder of OotP, as I mentioned above. Also in Ron's new attitude toward Hermione. He agrees with her more often, and seems to consider what she says before shooting it down. On Hermione's part, Ron seems to be able to exercise some calming influence over her when she is being adamant about a course of action Harry should or should not take.
(pg. OotP, Am. hb. ed.)
"Harry, don't do it, please don't do it!" Hermione said in anguished tones as the bell rang at the end of the class.
He did not answer; he did not know what to do. Ron seemed determined to give neither his opinion nor his advice. He would not look at Harry, though when Hermione opened her mouth to try dissuading Harry some more, he said in a low voice, "Give it a rest, okay? He can make up his own mind."
This strangely sympathetic admonishment on the Weasel King!s part shows both an astounding maturity and an understanding of Hermione's motivation. It also shows that he has learned that the best way to keep her from pestering someone is not to flare up in their defense, but rather with a cool, calming word. It shows that he is beginning to understand Hermione, and though he may not always agree with her, he understands Harry well enough to know that Harry is going to do what he decides is right, no matter what anyone says.
Despite Ron's ofttimes oblivious behavior, he is actually the one of the three who understands people's inner workings the best. This shows itself in his skill at Wizard's Chess, his ability to know what his opponents are going to do next, as well as his giving thought to what someone is really thinking or feeling rather than what they are actually saying. This clear understanding is generally characterized by an "unusually shrewd expression on [Ron's] face." (pg. 460 OotP, Am. hb. ed.)
The mysteries explored in the previous two Relationship essays, are what Hermione's feelings are for Harry, and what Harry's feelings are for Hermione, respectively. Yet, both of the articles left out the most telling piece of canon JK Rowling has given us.
Cho Chang.
The fact that Harry looks outside of the trio for romantic relationships is the most obvious evidence toward his feelings for Hermione. Just as Hermione's reaction to this is the most obvious evidence for her feelings for Harry. Far from feeling jealous or jilted, Hermione seems to like Cho, and honestly tries to help Harry with his feelings toward her.
After the first meeting of the future DA in the Hog's Head, Hermione comments,
(pg. 349 OotP, Am. hb. ed.)
"And talking about Micheal and Ginny . . . what about Cho and you?"
"What do you mean?" said Harry quickly.
It was as though boiling water was rising rapidly inside him; a burning sensation that was causing his face to smart with the cold - had he been that obvious?
"Well," said Hermione, smiling slightly, "she just couldn't keep her eyes off you, could she?"
Harry had never before appreciated just how beautiful the village of Hogsmeade was.
Hermione's understanding of Harry's predicament extends to the knowledge that Harry feels insecure about himself where Cho is concerned, and she makes this comment realizing that it will make Harry happy, and hopefully goad him into realizing that Cho likes him just as much as he likes her. Is this the action of a girl harboring unrequited love? If that were true, would not she have never brought it up, and just dwelled on it in silence, letting Harry flounder and flail?
And this is not the extent of Hermione's relationship counseling for Harry. At the last DA meeting before Christmas holiday, Cho kisses Harry, as we all know, and he returns to the Gryffindor common room with mixed feelings about this, in a shocked state. Hermione and Ron both pick up on this instantly. Far from sulking in a fit of jilted jealousy, Hermione tries to explain Cho's feelings, and speaks about it in a brisk, business like way. Not at all like someone who is heart broken that another girl is smooching her sweetheart in private, secluded areas.
In fact, that whole section is filled with items that point to what the trio feels for each other. It is far too long to quote the whole section, and I know you've all read it already, so why don't I just give you the page numbers and you can decide for yourselves? Pg 457-461 OotP Am. Scholastic, hb, ed. And I'll just highlight some of the finer points.
(pg. 458) Harry looked from Ron's _expression of mingled curiosity and hilarity to Hermione's slight frown, and nodded.
I quote this so you may note that Hermione's slight frown is not for the subject, but for Ron's rather rambunctious outburst of a moment before.
(pg. 460) "You just had to be nice to her," said Hermione, looking up anxiously. "You were, weren't you?"
"Well," said Harry, an unpleasant heat creeping up his face, "I sort of - patted her on the back a bit."
Hermione looked as though she was restraining herself from rolling her eyes with great difficulty.
"Well, I suppose it could have been worse," she said. "Are you going to see her again?"
Note her anxiousness. Hermione is honestly concerned that Harry may have blown his chances. She knows that Harry has "liked her for ages" and she does not want to see him be miserable if Cho starts giving him the cold shoulder.
What girl gives honest advice about other girls to a boy she likes, I ask you?
I have actually used that as a tactic to find out if a girl likes me or not. Ask any girl who likes you about advice on how to get another girl, and she will become obviously agitated, and quite peckish. If she does not feel romantically toward you, she will honestly try to help out. Which is exactly what Hermione did for Harry.
As we all know, Ron has obviously come to realize he has a thing for Hermione. He even begins to hate his greatest Quidditch hero when he becomes a rival for her affections. So I will not bother trying to convince anyone of the Weasel King!s feelings for Hermione. It is known. It is also made perfectly clear in GoF, that Hermione does not feel romantically toward Viktor Krum, but would like to maintain a friendship with him. It is also painfully obvious that Harry feels only friendship toward Hermione (made clear in the books as well as all three of these Relationship essays. Sorry, Lisa.)
What no one has addressed so far, however, has been Hermione's feelings for Ron. These take a subtler tack, one which I, as a male, do not understand fully, because, as all males, the workings of a woman's mind and heart are a complete mystery. Perhaps she feels equally for Harry and Ron. She sees them both as friends. It will take one or the other of them to point out to her that they are in fact male and that a relationship is possible between them. For she, too, looks outside of the trio for romantic involvement.
So who will end up with who?
To decide this, we must look outside of the books themselves, as they obviously make it into a mystery that we are not yet meant to solve. Let us look first, therefore, at the Harry Potter movies.
Many fans do not like the movies, they believe them to be inferior to the novels - and fie on any director that changes a line from the book! What they do not understand is that a feature-length film is a different medium than a novel to convey information. In a novel, the reader is allowed to glimpse the inner workings of a character's mind. We know what they are thinking and feeling, because we are thinking and feeling it along with them. In a movie, we only know what the characters are thinking and feeling through their actions, expressions, and deeds. So, ofttimes, the director and actors must make their actions and expressions far more blatant than an author does in a book. Films must also, from necessity, be shorter than a book, so they must fit a lot more information into a shorter alotment of time.
In Chamber of Secrets, the film, Hermione comes running into the Great Hall at the end of term feast and quickly hugs Harry. "You solved it!" she exclaims. Then when she turns to Ron to hug, they both blush and end up shaking hands. This is a blatant attempt to show they have feelings for each other beyond friendship, even before the books begin to show such things. Why would the director change this? Why would JK allow it? JK who has final cut on any scene? Because, in a movie, if you had not read the books, this would be a sly insinuation of the budding feelings developing between these two.
We see it again in the Prisoner of Azkaban movie. When Ron and Hermione are spending a quiet, awkward moment outside of the Shrieking Shack, and later after Lupin transforms into a werewolf and Hermione goes to comfort Ron. You can also hear Ron trying to play up his injury in the background, to seem more manly. "It's too late, it's ruined. It'll have to be chopped off."
It's rather amusing that their conversation exactly parallels the conversation between Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson after Malfoy is injured by Buckbeak in the beginning of the film, and Ron says, "Listen to the idiot! He's really laying it on thick, isn't he?"
It has also been recently rumored that Hermione will kiss Viktor Krum in the upcoming Goblet of Fire movie, something that was not in the book. I'm giving ten to one odds that Ron will see this and explode in a fit of jealousy. Why? Because in a movie there is not enough time to show the subtler hints of building jealousy and resentment on his part, and the quiet games Hermione plays trying to make Ron jealous by completing her correspondence with Viktor in front of him, or bringing up Viktor's name in conversation.
If you had never read the books, and only seen the movies, then by the time Ron and Hermione get together, it would have seemed something that was building from the beginning, rather than something that came out of the blue. However, having read the books, we see this as "too" obvious, and believe it is a red herring. Well let me remind you, that there are many people who do not enjoy reading, and only watch the movies. The screenwriters and directors must take this into account when they tell the story, so that the story told in the films may be as true to the books as a whole as they can possibly make them in the time allowed.
And finally, we have what little JK has said about the subject in various interviews. At the Edinburgh Book Festival, she says in answer to the question: "Will Ron and Hermione ever get together?"
Well-[Laughter.] What do you think? [Audience member: I think they will]. I'm not going to say. I can't say, can I? I think that, by now, I've given quite a lot of clues on the subject. That is all I'm going to say. You will have to read between the lines on that one.
Now, some have gone so far as to say that JK has made it too obvious that something will develop between Ron and Hermione, that Ron's obvious jealousy and Harry's unromantic feelings for her are all just a ruse to mislead us so it will be a huge surprise when Hermione ends up with Harry.
Every time I read something like that, I have to shake my head. I know that JK is a sly writer, and she often inserts hidden things into the text long before it is made relevant. But whenever those things are finally revealed, the things she hid become so obvious that many of us are smacking ourselves in the head thinking, "Why didn't I see that coming?"
With all the quotes and evidence given in "A Heart Once Given . . ." I find it very difficult to believe that even JK would have meant every one of those events to hide a feeling of unspoken, unrequited romantic love on Hermione's part that is invisible to everyone but the author. I find the people who recognize the hints given for a Ron and Hermione relationship, but want Harry to end up with Hermione so badly that they disregard them, or try to claim they were planted to mislead us, to be delusional wishful thinkers.
Let us face facts, people. Who Hermione ends up with is not truly that important. The hints given point toward a Ron and Hermione relationship, both in the movies and the books. There have been "quite a lot of clues on that subject," to quote JK yet again, and I think digging even deeper than the sly insinuations she has planted is yet another act of wishful thinking and a colossal waste of time. No matter how well written.
Which leads to the final factor we must consider in any relationship that takes place between the male members of the trio and the female. How would the other guy feel?
Harry himself feels equally for his friends. He has shown no sign of romantic feelings for Hermione thus far, and while he definitely prefers spending time alone with Ron to time alone with Hermione, his interactions with Cho Chang prove that this has nothing to do with sexual attraction. (Though I suppose some of you are itching to gather evidence for a "closet case.")
But Ron? Since his first realization that Hermione was a girl, in fact, a girl who's beauty at the Yule Ball stunned him into gape mouthed speechlessness, he has displayed a new attitude toward her. He became so jealous of Viktor Krum, his greatest hero of his greatest obsession, that he hated him, and even dismembered the action figure of Krum he bought at the Quidditch World Cup. Knowing how Ron feels about money, this small act takes on an even larger importance.
So how would Harry feel if his two best friends got together? Most likely he would be happy. It would take a bit of getting used to, but I doubt they would leave him out of anything but the bedroom. Meaning not much would have changed in their relationship, except that during sleepovers, Harry would be sleeping on the couch.
But how would the Weasel King! react? If his actions toward Krum are any indication, as well as his jealousy of Harry for being a Triwizard Champion, then he would be inflamed with jealousy and rage. Harry, who gets everything; Harry, who is the center of attention, always casting his shadow over Ron's glory; Harry gets the girl he loves?
It would be the end of their friendship, and no girl is worth that. |
