Well it wasn't to be but when i read this line i nearly jumped out of my chair with excitement



I was like wow! It's going to be H/Hr. But then a few chapters later i realised it wasn't going to happen as Hermione was in love with someone else.....

Despite that i thought there were still little bits that showed just how deeply they cared for each other even if it was like brother and sister.

-there was lots of handholding and grabbing/protecting each other


and this scene was so cute


A very 'intimate and private' moment they shared.What is everyone else's view on DH?

I'm not buying a word of J. K. Rowling's. She can say brother and sister all she wants, she can write terrible, cheesy Romance between Ron and Hermione all she wants*, but I still stand by my resolution that Harry and Hermione is the best relationship out there.

I think there are going to be quite a few disappointed fans of the movies when they find this out. At least they'll get a kiss - either with the Locket scene or the script writer will put one in during the graveyard scene.

I posted a bit of a rant I had on Deathly Hallows over at SCQ, mostly because it centers around how much I hated the whole relationship aspect of the books, if any of you would like to read it. Alas, it isn't really Harry and Hermione material exactly, so I'll just link the page rather than show it here. Eleventh post down.

*Please note: I respect the Ron and Hermione relationship entirely. In fact, I have no problem with it whatsoever, save the fact that I thought she did a terrible job at writing it in Deathly Hallows. Otherwise, I just prefer this relationship to it, that's all.

it did hurt a bit to have Harry say outright and plainly like that that his feelings for Hermione were and always had been nothing but sisterly

Considering that I knew RHr and HG would happen (or at least RHr--in my heart of hearts I wished for H/L and N/G, but deep down knew it wouldn't happen), and given how badly they screwed up HHr's beautiful relaitonship in HBP, I was very pleased to see how many nice HHr moments JK put in--I do think JK was trying to give a nod to all the shippers--hence H/L also going together to Ravenclaw tower, Ron's admiring comment about Luna, etc--Ginny "sending her love" to Neville too perhaps). I love it when they are alone working together, and so I loved it when Ron left and it was just them--I think the moment when they're in Godric's Hollow, looking at J/L's graves, and Hermione holds Harry's hand in comfort and he squeezes it back in reply, and when they leave the graveyard, his arm around her shoulders, and her arm around his waist, is the best HHr moment yet--I'm so happy that SHE and she alone was there to share such an emotional moment for him--no Ginny Sue in sight! Yes, I knew it was just friendship, as were here several hugs in the beginning--honestly, she just kept flinging herself on the poor boy, his chest must hurt! )--but I still enjoyed them immensely and squeed at them all the same.

Plus, I loved what the Horcrux did to Ron, that Ron did really consider and fear the possibility of HHr (I think it's a nod to HHr shippers that there was something there that could have been misinterpreted--I was thinking of how Ron was essentially as "delusional" as Harmonians supposedly were!) and that, best of all, THERE IS A CANON CHANCE FOR DAN AND EMMA TO KISS ONSCREEN! Evily too, which I think would be especially sexy and hot! Yes, it's an evil apparition, but who cares? Dan/Emma kissing is all I really want to see, and here's the chance for them to do it in what I'd imagine would be a really cool scene--and I think they will do it, b/c 1) destroying the horcrux is a pretty crucial scene, and 2) they realize the chemistry b/t Dan and Emma, have always exploited it as far as they could, and thus I think they'd jump at the chance for them to have them kiss on screen--I can just imagine it, them smiling evilly and sinisterly, Emma entwining her arms around Dan, "their lips met"--I will admit, I was excited at the thought of any kind of HHr's lips meeting! As I said, I did not expect HHr at all, and what JK gave us was more than I could have hoped for!

So what did everyone else think? I know there are a lot of upset HHr shippers out there, and the epilogue was beyond cheesy (not to mention how ridiculous it is that Harry and Hermione never speak to each other the whole time--what's up with that? As one person said elsewhere, is it that once Harry and Hermione have been absorbed into the holy Weasley Clan they can no longer interact with each other?

sherrilina i was also slightly upset at the 'sister' thing but at least we know that the do love each other even if it's only as brother and sister.

And you raise a good point.We will probably get a H/Hr kiss!!! Even if it is when they are in 'ghost' form.And it's an evil kiss which will be really 'hot'.lol I don't think they will cut it though because they are destroying a horcrux at the time.!!



I loved that too.It was like JKR was acknowledging that there is H/Hr in the books and she was telling us that we are indeed not delusional.It made up for H/Hr not getting together in the end.
