everyone knows that ron and hermione fancy each other but what do the readers think? was it exactly like you pictured it or beneath your expectations?! please answer now!

I think it was cute and well handled. The bickering between them was what you'd expect from anyone who fell in love with Ron. I think many ways, while Molly Weasly was a very good mother, she ignored Ron quite a bit--who could get good attention with that many kids? That's why he responded to forcefully many times when Hermoine adapted a motherly attitude like in GOF when she told him to go to bed. Many times men marry women who have many traits like their mothers. Nothing missed here! I think they're an adorable pair. For Hermoine I think Ron plays the part of the anti-intellectual and makes her truly be herself.

Well everyone who has read the series would have known that this was the most obvious couple to get together at the end. Even though they bickered throughout the whole series, you just knew they had a spark or a connection to each other. Well I thought the way they got together was wonderful, I really couldn't have pictured it better! They are both really differant in ways but, I guess that's why we have the saying 'opposites attract'.

We all knew it was going to happen...it was just a matter of when, where, and how. I really liked the way that JKR had them share their first kiss. Both of them had been bottling up their feelings for the other for quite a few books now, but neither of them took the initiative. When the battle started, I think that they both realized that they may not get many other chances to express their feelings for each other, so they went for it. The moment that sealed the deal for Ron was when he started worrying about the House Elves!!! I guess he was a full fledged member of S.P.E.W after all!!!

i was sooooo happy and then in the epoligue they got married and had kids!

Mod Edit: One liner/short posts are not allowed on the forums. Please elaborate a bit more in future. Thanks

i thought it was pretty good. I expected there to be some more detail and maybe a relationship. W eonly got them being married and not really anything more that than that. I guess if you count the 6 years of liking each other and having fights it added up to be prety good.

I thought JK did a good job with this relationship. All through the whole series you knew they were going to get together, you just didn't know how. I guessed from day one that Ron liked Hermione. Right from the moment she said, you've got dirt on your nose, up until he put all that effort into being polite and gentleman like through DH and then totally getting the SPEW thing...well that was it for Hermione. Who new, she just wanted him to understand the lot of the house elf!

I was very impressed with their ending. It was great how JKR made us wait until the end of the book to finally get their first kiss. It made it more romantic to have them finally kiss right before going off to battle. And it was great to have them married in the end.

I like how Rowling built the suspense of Ron and Hermione along with all the other plot bits. Everything built up together. I think there might have been something happen sooner, as far as them beign able to tell each other how they felt, had Ron not left and Hermione felt so abandoned. This was a major set back for her, and you can see him working to show her he really does care. The torture scene is heartbreaking and I wonder if anyone every told Hemione afterwards how upset Ron had been (maybe Luna?) but she could probably hear him yelling, but then again she might not have remembered much of that whole time. Anyway, I thought the whole journey was very fun to read and very unconventional and I love that Harry says weakly,"Is this the moment" realizing that there is nothing anyone could say that would hold them back at that point. Also nice that they didn't worry that they weren't completely private. I also like how they were appreciating each other and praising each other's accomplishments through this last book to others, not just taking each other's skills and ideas for granted. That shows maturity, and was fun to watch. I like that Ron was alot smarter than maybe he has seemed and got quite a few spectacular moments to shine, and I liked that although Hermione continues to be brilliant, she needed his strength. And I like how Rowling built that too. And I like what Rowling revealed in the interview, that Ron goes into business with George, which is lovely, and that means he 1) gets to have money, lack of which always bothered him so much and 2) when he says in the epilogue "I'm extremely well known" I thought it was a joke, but now knowing some background, as part of Weasley Wizard Wheezes, he probably is more well know to the next generation of kids than Harry. So that is cool. And Harry doesn't care because, to paraphrase/misquote a bit from the sixth book - how nice for him to be talked about or even ignored! because of something very nice happening to him rather than facing death every other day. And all he really wanted was a normal happy,non dis- functional life and his own family. So, good for Ron and Hermione. Lovely people, wish I could meet them!

Ya, well I'm the one and only person who voted No Way!. I guess I'm just being sour because my ship was crushed brutally in the end, but I really didn't like the way they were brought together. Sure we all saw it coming and knew that it had to happen some way and some how, but in the middle of a war and at the mention of house elfs? That was just too random for me. I guess I just expected more of a romantic setting. However, I do like it that Hermione took the intiative to finally make the first move.

I have supported Ron/Hermione from the beginning and I found that Book VII handled their growing relationship very well. They make an excellent couple, although the choice of Hugo as a name for their son was somewhat odd. Regardless I was very pleased with all that I read and found their squabbles in the Book and Ron's support of Hermione's views on elf rights to be very amusing. Se gap lai nhe.

I always thought it'd all come out during a stressing time, like in the middle of a battle or something, so that i expected. But i think i was concentrating on the plot, that when i read that part, i was like this:

"YAE-YA!"

And started happy-dancing. I couldn't have been more happy, as i have wanted this for ages.

It wasn't how i imagined it, but then it was. I expected a awkward confession first.

the scene where ron screaming hermione in the malfoy's cellar, there is so much pain and anguish
it is really painful to see your loved one being tortured or in the case then hearing the screams of hermione being tortured by bellatrix who is famous in doing that unforgivable curse and he can not do anything about it
also the scene where hermione attack ron incessantly when she saw him came back after leaving them
you will see all the love they have for each other
but on the lighter note
the kiss hehe
is that really the right time as harry said
cute i should say one of the best part
reminds me of pirates of the caribbean 3 if you have watched that film you'll know

No you're not the only one who voted NO WAY! Up to now, there are three votes for NO WAY. You, me and someone who would rather remain anonymous I suppose.

I don't care for this couple at all, so naturally, I would vote this way. As for the way the finally came together, I thought it was a bit stupid. I guess that all Ron had to do was get hold of that How To Cathch a Witch book, tell Hermione that he would help save the house elves and then she'd be jumping his bones. Oh, let's not forget the domestic scene where Hermione is washing Ron's dirty underwear. I thought that the way to a man's heart was through his stomach? I suppose that in the wizarding world, it's by doing the guy's laundry!

i agree with FireryPhoinex. i do wish that there was more detail in the relationship in the book. i dont know how to explain it. i wish that they became a couple at the wedding of bill and fleur or when ron came back after running away and she kissed him then. i thouhgt it was cute and romantic the way they did it but still i wish they became a couple in the begining in the of the book so you can get the feel for it more.......i guess

Ron and Hermione (the perfect couple(well so are Harry and Ginny but that is another matter!)) You could tell that the moment they laid eyes on each other they were going to get together in the end. There had to be some bickering throughout the series but I didnt expect that much. It just went on and on. Personally I think that they should of got together in HBP like Harry and Ginny, but JKR did make us wait which might have benefited their relatioinship because they wouldnt have known that they were going to go into a battle. I am soooo happy they got hitched in the end. Long Live Ron and Hermione !!

You're wrong there are now 5 votes as i voted no way as well partly because i'm a H/Hr shipper and partly because i just don't believe in their relationship.



I knew they were going to get together but i didn't like the way in which it was done and i didn't believe it would last.I mean the only reason they are together is because Ron got that book that taught him about girls!And i found the moment when they kissed really weird and a bit random.If i was a R/Hr shipper i think i would have been expecting a heart to heart between the pair and then a slightly awkward kiss, not the one that was written.

I liked how she built up the relationship! I thought the kiss at the end was romantic and sweet... like if they would have died, at least they had finally gotten their kiss! I also liked how they got married... I always have been a R/Hr shipper!

i liked the kiss, i thought it was sweet but also very spontaneous. i always had a feeling that in the middle of an argument Hermione would suddenly yell at Ron about how obvious it was that she fancied him, and while he was gaping at he,r she would launch herself at him. but i loved how she kissed him while he was defending the house elves, that was cute! i was like 'yay! it's about bloody time!' i still wish that we could've seen more of their romantic relationship though, that was something i was really looking forward to, seeing how they were as a couple. oh well, we still got the kiss! and they did get married and have kids, but Hugo? don't you think that name is hideous?
BeckyN

nOPE! Hated it...really was a cop out and should never have happened..Hermione should be with Viktor not the beggar Weasel! A disgrace! An abomination! Disgusting! Horrific! Ugly! Puke-worthy!

Nothing romantic about it at all...Ron ditches his mates despite the fact they were in danger and what happens? He is rewarded!

Lol I was hoping for that too. I was disappointed Ron and Hermione got together. Then again Ron has driven me nuts the past two books.

However the kiss was quite funny wit Harry yelling and all.

Yay! First 1, then 3, then 5, now 7. Wow, we are really moving on up!


I agree. I expected more of an awkward kiss, but by the way they were getting at it, both appeared to be really comfortable with eachother and... experienced. Hermione must have got a lot of practice in with Krum.

Don't you think that's being slightly melodramatic, even harsh. I am not denying that Ron can have some emotional issues (i.e. jealousy at Harry in Book IV, Lavender in Book VI, deserting Harry in Book VII). However, he has overcome and repented in every case. Ron has typically been a loyal comanion of Hermione and Harry. And the Hon. Mirs. Rowling has built up a case for them being together for a few books now.

Hermione with Viktor?! Why would witty Hermione be with Viktor, the dumb jock? In any case, I thought the ending was very sweet. I had to agree with Crazy Nutt-Nutt that Hugo is a hideous name, though. Go Ron & Hermione. Se gap lai nhe.

I loved the whole story!! I thought it was great how when Ron comes back and he first sees Hermione you think they're going to have their "big moment", and then she starts to beat him up! JKR is a genius, because it stays so true to their whole relationship. And it was so touching how when Hermione is being tortured by Bellatrix, Ron just keeps screaming her name! And I think it's great that she finally (!!!) decided to kiss him because he was showing concern for the houselves! So cute ! And I have a feeling Ron turns out to be a great Dad! I loved it and I can't wait to see Emma Watson and Rupert Grint act it out in the 7th movie. I know they'll do an amazing job!!

Why would witty Hermione be with 'dumb' Viktor? Viktor is far from dumb! And like I've said the very moment he has met her he treated her better than Ron has in his 4 years of knowing her. Viktor is an international quidditch player considered the best seeker in the world. He is also a very very very gifted wizard! Hermione conversates deeply with him.

Compare his reaction to Harry's answer to his question and put Ron in the same situation...Viktor is dignified and excepts things that don't go his way gracefully!

Doesn't sound like a dumb jock!

Ron doesn't look very good at all in comparison does he? He is inferior intellectually and personality and talent-wise to both Harry and Hermione. Where is Ron's depth? Talent? Intelligence? That he is poor? big deal!

He doesn't have just a few emotional issues...Ron is also an insecure, ego-tistical basket case...He also knows he is inferior...now you tell me why anyone would want to be with someone who blows a casket everytime another bloke is near?

I still think Hermione is too good for Ron, brain and magic ablility aside, she has more character. I guess the Harry Hermione ship will never sail, but I would have preferred that, secondly maybe a Hermione/George ship.

I'm not saying that Viktor is a dislikable character. However, while his skills on the quidditch field may be very good, when has he ever proven that his head is filled with something other than sawdust? Being a gifted quidditch player doesn't make him an intellectual equal to Hermione, or Ron.



Ron is talented. And brave. And loyal. He has some insecurities as you and I have agreed upon. However, when the going gets tough, he stood by Harry. In Book II, when everyone believed Harry was a psychotic heir of Slytherin, he supported Harry. In Book III, when Sirius Black cornered them in the Shrieking Shack--when everyone still believed him to be a psychotic mass murderer--Ron boldly stood by Harry in the face of what he assumed to be almost certain death. In Book V, he stood by Harry against the tyranny of Umbridge. When Sirius was in danger, he accompanied Harry in the "rescue." He helped defend Hogwarts from deadly external foes in Book VI. He accompanied Harry in the quest for Horcruxes in Book VII. True, he left. But that was partly due to the negative influence of the locket. He realized it was a mistake the moment he left and he came back when he could. Furthermore, he faced his demons with regards to the locket and destroyed them. He accompanied Harry into Gringotts and was one of Harry's chief Lieutenants in his attack on the Dark Lord's stronghold at Hogwarts, where he fought valiently. And in the end, he realized that Harry couldn't order the House Elves to fight and die for him, though they did anyway. Ron has proven his worth in gold a thousand times over in the series. Can the same be said about Viktor.

Despite Ron's flaws, I am very pleased that Ron and Hermione ended up together in the end. They make a fine pair. Se gap lai nhe.

Threw the book whenever Ron would comfort Hermione in some way by 'putting an arm around her' or 'giving her a squeeze' (which was quite often, I might add), I would squeal and or jump up and down in joy. I thought that Hermione might make her move when he returned- but I loved that she didn't. That was so funny! And then I was once again hopping up and down when she finally went for it! And Harry in the back round was awesome.

On a more sad note, when Hermione was being tortured, and he kept yelling for her...awww! So sad and adorable. Can Ron be anymore in love with her?

i totally agree with everyone who's been saying that this ship is really, in every way, the most unlikely thing. i dont think it would really ever happen!

first, ron and hermione have been friends for a really long time. but ron never really liked her until she proved to him that she could clean herself up nice at the Yule Ball. so i'm not sure exactly what ron sees in her, but it certainly isn't her intelligence, resourcefulness, etc. because those traits have stayed with her character for much longer than ron has liked her.

plus their personalities are so different that i think they'd have a time of it being married. the way theyre always fighting is proof that they'd drive each other, and their kids, crazy

BUT. this ship could've worked if JKR had elaborated more in DH. i think she did a nice job of writing the part where ron comes back to join them, because hermione and ron both acted exactly the way their personalities would've made them act. however, even with all the time spent on th run with nothing much to do, it didn't deepen the relationship much. it would've been nice to see how ron and hermione each had to adjust parts of their personalities to accomodate the other.

I thought it wqs very romantic because all the way through the book we saw Ron saying nice things to go out of his way to be nice to Hermione or to impress her using the book Fred and George had given him and when he said things he winked at Harry or grinned whereas when he said that houseelves shouldnt be sent to die for them he said it genuinely and thats what i think made it so romantic.

I also loved how it was such an inapropriate time to do it and admit their feelings opening by kissing it was just so romantic and brilliant.

I cant actually think of any other way that it could have happend or fit into the story.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! He also put a broom and a rat before his friendship with her too.



In the end JK went about writing the book to satisfy 2 groups of shippers in regards of the 'love' ending... Ron/Herm and Gin and Harry. This was the wrong thing to do. It should never have been set in stone. Other Shippers read this book also and like to think there is a possibility for their ship so it should have been more open even if these were the couples. Had it been 7/10 years into the future than most people would be able to live with that. Instead it is 19 years!


There is also no proof that Viktor's head had been filled with nothing but saw dust. He isn't thick! Hermione regularly sent him 'novels'.

I always hoped they will end up together But it sure was really silly the way it happend. I mean the book Ron gave Harry...damn even the worst fan fic is better than whatever...it sucked big time!!!
I was sure it was too much to dream of a detailed relationship of R/H. I had this bad feeling they will get together very fast and in a stupid way.
I mean...after 6 years of denial, Ron (cause I`m sure he always liked Hermy) finally admits that he likes her and he starts hiting on her using this lame strategy. Oh come on!!! I thought that a life and death situation will bring them together and it would be more romantic. But I guess silly/funny/stupid works too after all. I knew Jo was going to do this! Gosh...she`s so bad at writeing about love at the most important point.

I've been a Ron/Hermione shipper since the beginning and I was really happy that they got together in the end! Even though we all knew it was coming..

I just thought that their first kiss was a bit random. They are in the middle of a battle and suddenly they decide to kiss, just because Ron said save the house-elves? Why couldn't he have done that in GoF and spared us the arguing?

I thought it was great that they ended up together though. At least their kids have better names then 'Albus Severus'.

I was so glad they were to gether in the end

still in shock about the kiss(it could have been in a diffrenet part of the book though)
i was kinda suprised that it worked out they always seem to be arguing wuth each other in the past books

it was a good ending with the two of them getting married i wish they would of discussed it alittle more but the epologe was good.

Ron was angry at Hermione for interfering in Harry's affairs, and for never taking Ron's concerns about Scabbers seriously. As Hagrid wisely noted, people sometimes do stupid things over their pets. People sometimes get angry and say things that they don't mean. However, Ron got over it and their friendship repaired itself due to the respect and high opinions that Ron and Hermione held for each other.



Aye, Hermione sent him "novels." What proof is there that he read them, or that he ever replied? Se gap lai nhe.

Yeah, I'm surprised that it worked out too and for it to last 19 years! How unrealistic is that! Couples such as Ron and Hermione would have been divorced 4 months going into the marriage, and not just because they argue a lot. They just share nothing in common besides their loyalty to Harry.

So cute!! I love that Ron finally got it into his thick scull (don't get the wrong impression, I LOVE RON!!) about house elves.

I loved the way that Ron an Hermione got together!! That wasn't at all how I pictured it, but I did love it.
I really expected something more to happen earlier... like when Ron came back. But Hermione attacking him was SO much better. I was laughing when I read it.
And I think it's the best thing ever that what got Hermione to make her move was Ron being concerned about the house elves- like it turned her on or something. I don't think that Ron was only saying that because of something he read in the book, I think he was genuine.

Them!!!!

When Hermione and Ron kissed it was one of the best moments. I could almost feel the passion. At the end in the epilogue I was very pleased at where they ended up. I just think that they are the most adorable couple.

7 years at a stretch maybe but no way 19yrs.

I was trawling through the earlier books and there just seems to be barely any common ground between them. It's random.

Ironically, I used to like the Ron/Hermione ship but looking back...no! It's funny because Book Ron irritates...I truly can't stand him. Movie Ron..I think is cute. Hard to believe they are the same characters.

There's only one love story worth bothering about and that is the Lily/James/Snape tragedy.

I think this relationship has actually been wrtitten way better than Harry and Ginny's, all the tension between them really got me in a romantic mood. When Ron mentioned the elves I knew for certain what was going to happen and I was very happy with it. One of the most passione scenes of the series. Also the part when Ron screams her name in the cellar was very convincing. Great job JKR.

yeah i realy was hoping that Ron and Hermione would get married. and when i read the epilogue i was so happy to learn that Ron and Hermione were married and had kids.

It was pretty predictable though. I mean, we all knew they would get together in the end, that was really obvious. It would have been so much more suprising and interesting if Ron married, lets say.. Parvati Patil, and Hermoine with Viktor. I would definetly like to see how that happened.

But since they did get together, I thought the way they did it was extremely funny! When they started making out in the middle of a war! And Harry was like, "oi, theres a war going on!" I thought that was hilarious and it really lightened up the anxious, scared mood.

But I don't know, it bothered me a little when they started kissing....and when Ron saw the horcrux of Harry and Hermoine...

Rachel

Completely disregarding shipping, for or against Ron/Hermione, I was really disappointed with how JK finally wrote them together. It was cliche, moderately out of character, meant to be humorous yet wasnt. There were so many things wrong with that picture that I'm not sure that I would even know where to start. It wasnt how I expected it at all (not that that made it bad just different) mainly because I was expecting it to actually be meaningful or even creative... but sadly I was mistaken.

I think Ron and Hermione relatioship was beatifull and well develop the kiss was just perfect, but I think that they might have share a few before that one.

I think the fact that Ron dance with hermione in the party shows a very mature and engaging person. Also one of my favorite parts is the first night at grimaulde place when ron fall sleep holding hermione's hand I think that was beatifull and sometimes is more romantic and shows more love than anything else.

Ron's screams when hermione was being torture was heartbreaking. The light in the deluminator that goes directly to his hart is such a nice methafore of his love for hermione.

I might always be a romantic person but I really enjoy ron and hermione love story. it remaind me of that first love that you never seems to forget. of that pure love that sometimes still hurts in your stomach.

PLEASE JK ROWLINGS PLEASE write another book please let us know what happen in those 19 years, I want to know how they got married how they live they everyday life, how they got kids, how they celebrated it. It's ok that there is not more misteries but life is full of drama and batles sometimes everyday life is as beatifull as anything else.
Please write a love story of what happen next 19 years is a lifetime and i am sure all your fans would apreciate it.

I have always been a really big R/Hr shipping so I was pretty pleased with how JK Rowling wrote HP7. Everyone pretty much knew they were going to be together but it was just how or when that was the question.
Here are my favorite R/Hr moments:
-Ron taking advice from the How to Charm a Witch Book
-Ron asking Hermione to dance infront of Krum
-Ron comforting Hermione
-Ron crying after killing the horocrux (the locket)
-Fell asleep holding hands<3
-The KISS
And my favorite moment was...
-When Hermione is being totured and Ron is screaming her name and stuff
- I just thought that this was such an intense and dramatic scene. I LOVED IT! It really showed how much Ron cared for her. From the moment Hermione was taken by Bellatrix Ron asked to be taken instead. He also stopped Bellatrix from handing over Hermione to Greyback. This scene also reminds me how Lilly screamed to Voldemort to take her instead and spare Harry. Ron pretty much does the same thing.
Now that's was you call LOVE

I think i am probably the only R/H shipper who didn't like the kiss i thought what Ron said about house elves was way to out of character and the way Hermione just throws herself onto him well not the way i imagined. but the other touches of romance were great with them falling asleep holding hands at Grimald place and dancing and Bill and Fluers wedding. but the kiss was just not what i imaged at all!

I think the little hints towards their growing relationship in Deathly Hallows were really great. I loved them falling asleep holding hands, dancing, How to Charm a Witch, exc. Although, it got a little annoying with Ron running forward every single time Hermione got tearful. It was a great gesture and really romantic, but it just happened too often.
Although, the whole bit where Hermione was being tortured and Ron screaming her name...that was <3. Ah, I'm such a sap.

WHY would Hermionie still be with Viktor? She even said herself something like that she didn't like him. I personally loved the whole kiss and everything leading up to it.
