Happy Birthday Moon! I know it's belated, but happy birthday. I got into Harry Potter when I was 15. I'm 20 now, and I'll be 21 soon.
Yeah, some 13 year olds are like that, I guess. But it isn't Hermione's or Ron's style to be able to say "want to go out?" Can you image Ron or Hermione saying that to the other one at 13/14? I mean, Krum was the one to ask Hermione out, and Lavender was the one to make a move on Ron. Ron probably wouldn't have even gotten with Lavender if she hadn't shown him she liked him.
Yay Friends!
DeSs, I don't think that Harry would have gone on his own to get Ron, or to find him. Hermione would have come too, of course. You know what would have been interesting. If the Death Eaters captured Ron, and then Harry and Hermione would have to save him. But I don't really like that idea that much.
Yes, neither of them where looking to grab some posterior, the hormones really only got ramped up in HBP, I think. But they're 16, and they're wishing to do what most 16 year olds want to do at that point, and that's okay.
And yay sneak peak! We only have about 4 mouths to wait!
Ron went out with Lavender because she wanted him, and he wanted a girl to mack on and to get back at Hermione. If Lavender wasn't there he would of just been angry at everyone for who knows for how long.

Ron and Hermione were stuck in the middle of a fight about a cat, and worrying about Harry when they were 13-14. They weren't thinking about that sort of thing. They may have felt it, but ignored it. In PoA, the only mention of stirring feelings, was when Harry noticed Cho as pretty. If Harry's only just starting to notice, there's no way Ron and Hermione would take any notice at that age. Or at least do anything about it, lol.

I can only imagine what Ron would've been like without Lavender-moodly and surly, wonderful. I'm wondering if they still would've gone to the party together ... maybe they would have, and Harry would've spied on them the whole night (mostly). I dunno, they're so unpredicable in so many ways.

And thanks for the belated birthday wishes! So many years of our lives have been spent loving HP and RHr.



Yes, if it happened that way, i don't think there would've been time for Harry and Ron to sort everything out before they got to Hermione. They both would've gone, and Ron would just be resentful that they'd come together and that they'd been alone together all this time (which of course he knew). It was better with the locket, because we see the Harry/Ron moment, and Ron gets the reassurence that Hermione indeed loves him.

i love it how ron/hermione are always fighting in EVERY book. from ron accusing crookshanks of eating scabbers to ron being too late to ask hermione to the yule ball. their relationship is very funny considering harry is always in the middle. ron is always the one who usually starts the fight (like the time when he got with lavender just to make hermione jealous when she got with mclaggen) because he is always so rude and mean to her. but deep down inside ron really has a feeling of deep emotion for hermione but never shows it... not even to harry.

in the silver doe chapter in DH ron was crying when harry/hermione emerged from slytherins locket and locked together in a tight embrace. harry tells ron that he loves her as a sister only, that's all, and that reassures ron...

then, nineteen years later, they get married

Yay, Moon, a year left to you to be of age! I wished you a happy birthday in the Lounge, did you see it? Anyway, happy birthday again!

Ellen, I never said Harry would go after Ron; I said that Harry would have kicked off Hermione if she had been her oldself, and that eventually, they'd run into Ron, just like you said after, fighting against the Snatchers or something.

dchristen03, good summing up! Welcome to the thread, and enjoy! If anybody has new questions or topics, please post them straight away!


Oh, yes, that'd have been so awesomely awkward! I wanted so badly they come to terms and go together to the party as friends (in the begging), so we'll see what happened "under the effect of Butterbeer"... But that Lavender!

Hey, you got your Ron?? Lucky you, fight for him! Can you believe the only redhaired classmates are two girls?! And on the bus last week there were a redhaired that didn't look so, and two girls; one of them had such a hair! I was really jealous, I want my hair to be like that! And where's my Ron!



I couldn't help but quoting that ... so sweet! Geez, four months, right? Just-can't-wait!

Thank you so much DeSs:)
i appreciate it.

by the way, i add one thing onto my old post earlier--
the ron/hermione ship is the ship that i appreciate the most.

Hey fellows Ron and Hermione lovers, this thread is not moving at all, is it? Ok, I know we've already said all we had to, but a bit of excitement is always ... exciting

dchristen03, that was so sweet to say! Yes, they're the couple I appreciate the most to, in fact they're my model affair.

Ok, so basically, I wanted to share this with all of you because... it's rib-cracking, actually; that without saying that I'm already bursting in laugh inside for something I've just read over there (<- that smiley can't stress enough how much I'm laughing) I was looking for R/Hr quotes to make pictures, when I ran into MuggleNet. There, browsing a bit, I saw something that caught my attention: the (In)Famous Wall of Shame. I went there, of course. There was a special edition, "not recommended for humorless Harry/Hermione shippers", it said. And there's when the fun comes!!!! Aparently, those are quote compiled from messages the website owners get, but Godness ... I can't believe there're people so maniac, it's ... it's unbelievable that those messages aren't a joke. I'm not talking just about H/Hr supporters sayings, because that'd be unfair for all the other crazynuts and for all the normal supporters, but I'm just going to give you some of the most riddiculous quotes I've found, in regards to RHr and JK in general. Note that Emerson is one of the owners (or Admins, I'm not sure) of MuggleNet.



A/N: ??? Well, at least that person called him sexy and wished him a nice existence in Hell with pineaples.



A/N: Aheam. I AM THE BIGGEST HARRY POTTER FAN, YOU LOSER. Ok, that was really... scary.



A/N: We must agree there. Poor Rowling, she has no right on her characters, does she? Why she didn't just ask someone else to write her own story in her place? Whyy??

(This one comes from a longer post, that is not worthy to read, except to laugh out loud, when this person compares being a Harmonian with being a witch in Salem)




A/N: Let's stop killing Harmonians! Stop it, I say!

And finally, the most ... funny or humorless, I can't decide, thing is this awesome petition to Mrs Joanne Kathleen Rowling to apologize for laughing of H/Hr supporters:Petition!!!.

You can check -- please, check!-- here to read this and cheer up for the day

Please, don't kill me: I'm not trying to be mean or rude to H/Hr supporters; I'm just trying to understand what happens through those people's minds to think, say and write that kind of stuff, but I do respect normal ideologies.

In other comments ... hey, what do you think of the new posters??? Don't you feel closer to HBP now??? Because I don't But I love the backgrounds! Dumbledore is a bit scary. Ron is ... Ron. And Hermione is ok. I love the birds, but those are pidgeons, not canaries!

I don't feel closer to HBP, and by the way, had they not kicked it back a million bazillion months, we would probably be able to enjoy it in our home on dvd right now! Okay, rant over. Sorry.

Dess, those links and quotes made me laugh so much! Especially, that petition... When will they ever learn. I mean, of course we're not the "true fans". We just buy the books and merchandise because we want to waste our money. Ron and Hermione are so great together.

Glad to read your posts, mugglelovrspew. I felt sad when HBP release was postponed.
Nonetheless, we see with much anticipation how nice Ron and Hermione pairing is shown in the movies. Hermione's tears and the birds. Couldn't wait to see.

Oh Desi, i once read the H/Hr version of The Wall of Shame, and seriously, i was kind of freaked out. I would be honestly scared if i was Emerson. But they are freakin' hilarious! I'm pretty sure half of them only said these things because they thought it was funny/thought no one would see it/were probably hyped up on sugar or something. Kind of reminds me of times when i would defend RHr to people and i'd end up saying really weird things ...

Oh all right, question: What's the weirdest thing you've said or heard in regards to our beloved RHr?

Me? I can't quite remember my arguments, because they were about three-odd years ago now, but i think at one point i said, "C'mon, Ron's ginga! Hermione needs her rat-owning ginga-head!" This was during science to my science teacher, no less. Luckily he was a laid-back sort of person and didn't give me detention, haha.

mugglelovrspew, yeah it sucks that we could have the DVD right now. But as much as i hate it being moved back, i think it was a good thing-or at least they're not rushing it? Unlike some films, coughnewmooncough. Hopefully this means that they'll have more time to perfect the movie for all of us fans, and who knows? Maybe by some stroke of inspiration, they'll suddenly realise that there needs to be an entire subplot dedicated to RHr?

Or, well, a girl can dream ...

Ah well, i think i'll end wth saying Happy Birthday to Ellen! It was your birthday on the 21st, right? Well i hope it was ... if it's not, then Happy Birthday anyway for whenever your birthday it! Sorry i'm late/early! Have a great day!

Until next time, long live RHr!

Haha, I don't think those guys would actually do something! I mean, it's just ... psycho people (well, um... maybe it's because of that they're so dangerous), people who has nothing worth to do and so go around bothering smart people

xD I couldn't help but chuckling on that! I don't think they even have sugar in their lives, lol.

What's the weirdest thing you've said or heard in regards to our beloved RHr?

I've never said anything too out of the point to defend Ron and Hermione, actually, because I've got (because there're) real facts that defend them themselves. I'm writing (in my free time, which has decreased a lot) a kind of essay trying to be as fair as I can using real facts Hope I'll be able to finish it some day! Honestly, I don't need to insult other people to support my points of view (I'm not talking to you, dear, just in case, I'm talking about ... the opposite gang), I only need a good thinking and a wide mind to accept facts

Bah, to be honest... I just feel a bit closer, but if we had had HBP back on ... coughmybirthdaycough, now we would be confortably slugging in our sofas, watching the dvd and probably sheding tears for a second time.

Hey, what d'you guys think of the new on-set/streetsofLondon pictures? And the Scotland ones? Emma with her boyfriend, showing at last? Hermione's dress will be red! I like the dress, but I think ... they keep changing thing that could be easily done. Or maybe Emma doesn't fit that color? But pics... I dunno, exciting and all, but sometimes I think this of worldwide communication kind of spoil us. I think I was ok somewhat, not knowing what was coming, finding it and say 'Wow' or 'Yay' or 'Dang' in the moment it was released, not finding out like a year before and being waiting all the time to ... finally get something.

Um, ok. That's all.

Haha, i only said the ginga comment, as i was trying to convince my die-hard HHr fan of a science teacher. Most of my friends support RHr anyway. Mostly. Well, not as obsessively as us ... but they still don't mind it! Meh, it's the thought and love of RHr that counts, right?

I saw the London shooting photos-especially i think i saw a picture where the three of them nearly get hit my a double-decker bus? Hermione's dress didn't look too bad-i think we keep complaining so much about the movement of the release date, that we're now nit-picking on every single little thing. Such as the colour of Hermione's dresses. We do that a lot, now that i think about it ...

*cough* Anyway. I was surprised to see the set pictures actually, considering i feel like we hardily ever get any information about the movies before we actually see them But they were good, yes. There was a lot of holding hands at one point, so hopefully that means they're embracing the natural RHr-ness.

Aaah, Moony-moon, I couldn't help but saying that... what a gorgeous bunch of avatars have you chosen!! Do you make them? I love how always Emma in your pics have dark brown hair -- as Hermione is supposed to have I love them! And the quote... "Are you mental?" You're awesome. Btw, so long without hearing 'bout ya, girl, what's up?

Holding hands? The three of them were holding hands in the pics I've seen, they were about to Apparate for sure, but... I'm so so happy Yates directed all the movs from OotP and on!

Lol, it's just me. I love complaining But I love the dress!

I haven't posted in here for a while because it's been empty. But now we are back... I too love your avatars. I saw the pictures, and I really like how they seem to be staying to the books. Even though clothing wise, sometimes they look like muggles when they're not supposed to. But I was thinking that I can't wait to see HBP just because of the jealously in it from Hermione during the Lavender scenes. Oh gosh, I will be laughing so hard and rooting Hermione on, haha.

Haha, me? Make avatars? I suck at making anything remotedly creative without Photoshop or Illustrator. I attempted to make a RHr avatar once, but that didn't really work ... it looked like Hermione had a really small head. So yes, i stole all my avatars from other places. But i love my "Moon" avatar, which someone made for me.

But i'm glad some people make Hermione with darker, bushier hair how she's meant to look. It's funny, but the characters in my head look nothing like Rupert and Emma. The Ron and Hermione in my head are very different to the Ron and Hermione on screen. I never really imagine Rupert and Emma as Ron and Hermione when i read the books.

mugglelovrspew, i can't wait to watch all the RHr in HBP! It's going to be great, specially since David Yates seems to know what he's doing when it comes to RHr. I loved it in the trailer when Hermione was whacking Ron with her book. I'm not sure when that'll come in, but it was hilarious (Me, my mum, my three friends, my sister and my dog were all sat on a couch made for three people, watching this trailer on my laptop-we all cracked up when we watched that part, and we ended up rewinding it to watch it again, haha).

HBP is going to be great, i'm sure. Until next time, long live RHr!

Seeing as I'm new to this thread and to Veritaserum itself, I'd just like to say I think the R/Hr relationship is perfect!! They were meant to be.

Im also new to Veritaserum, and i can agree that the RHr is perfect, i love it completely

Nat2544, wow, that was a really long time ago, but I still love the Ron/Hermione relationship.



I agree on that I like Hermione's hair darker. But if it weren't for the movies, my 1st image of the characters were nothing like that. Ron was very tall and had the big feet and everything. Haha. But to make this about Ron/Hermione...

Can you wait for the big kiss in DH?

I certainly can't just because it'll be such an overwhelming long awaited moment.

Thank you for happy birthday wishes Yeah, being 21 doesn't feel much different than 20 though because I hardly ever drink. But hugs for all
Yeah, I've been away because of fun exams and stuff. And I have been spending a lot of time on my new love, Fullmetal Alchemist, which I recommend for everyone here. It's really smart, definitely not a light read or watch, and can be very touching and honest. The quote that I have in my sig is from it, obviously. And I have Buffy icons to celebrate HBP, which makes sense to me.
muggleview! Don't be a stranger, man. You're missed.
The pictures are cool. My background is the three of them holding hands. My sister's is the one with the three of them walking in a line, that looks like the Abbey Road cover. I like Emma's dress. Speaking of clothes, I've noticed that these clothes that Hermione will be wearing looks like "Emma" and her style. She's kinda like Sarah Jessica Parker that way with Carrie Bradshaw.
check it!
It'll be great!
63 days!

Hey everyone,
My name is Harmony and I'm a new member of Veritaserum. Well, actually "Harmony" is not my real name; it's just my internet name. But don't worry, I didn't choose that name because I'm a "Harmonian." I once knew someone named Harmony and I thought it was a really cute name, plus I love playing harmonies on my viola. Anyhoo, I wanted to drop in and say "hi" because I'm a big fan of Ron and Hermione. I remember back in middle school, when I was reading through the series for the first time, I used to wonder if Harry and Hermione would end up together. I think I was on book 2, my friend had finished book 4, and book 5 hadn't come out yet. I told her I thought it would be cute if Harry and Hermione fell in love, but she said she liked the idea of Ron and Hermione. "Ron and Hermione!?" I said, "But they fight all the time. Wouldn't they drive eachother crazy?"
"I don't think so," she said
"But then who will marry Harry?"
"Ginny!"
Well, her viewpoint surprised me at first, but the more I thought of it, the more I liked RHr as well. By book four, I was dedicated RHr fan. I love the part in DH when the snatchers come to trap the trio and Ron and Hermione keep begging the snatchers to stop hurting eachother. Then later, in Malfoy Manor, Ron begs them to take him instead of Hermione. So sweet! You'd think their personalities wouldn't mesh, but they love eachother too much to let that get in the way. Plus, I think in some ways their differences compliment eachother. They did quarrel a lot growing up but I think that's partly due to their ages and...well...growing up. From the scene at Xenophillius' house onward, I thought they seemed much more mature and able to keep their tempers. They may still have small quarrels, but that's how they communicate and I know they'll be happy and never have a serious row again.
I know this is an old topic now, but I live in Utah and we get quite a bit of snow, too. Our Spring weather is very strange where I'm from. One day it will be all sunny and warm, and the next it will be freezing again. We've even had snow in May before. ("It's shnowing! in the shummer!!") By late June our summers are very hot. But anyway, it's very late and I'm becoming random and off-topic, so I'd better go. I look forward to talking with you guys and discussing all the wonderful Ron/Hermione-ness! Those two are awesome!
Cheers,
Harmony

Hello there, Harmony, and welcome to Veritaserum and the Ron and Hermione Thread! I'm so glad your nickname doesn't mean what I thought, because... honestly, when I saw your name as new topic, I thought "Oh no, an Harmonian has broken into our thread to bash Ron and Hermione in our faces!"



Yay! What you say there is really lovely and right: of course they quarrelled, of course they might keep quarrelling in their life as married people, but does that mean that people don't have to quarrel at all, because if they do, that mean they hate each other? Wow, yeah, and that'd be a great life *insert sarcasm here* I don't think that 'they are the perfect couple' or 'they are compleeeetely perfect for each other' or 'it couldn't have been other way (in a real life, when people usually don't create so close bonds), but I think that's their way, that's the way their fell for each other, and... c'mon, there isn't one perfect person in this world of God!
So, welcome again, and feel free to post questions or topics to discuss!

Oh, here we're in Autumn (I'm from Argentina, for those who doesn't know), but weather is really weird and annoying too: from Wednesday on, it's been freezing, but before, it was warm and sunny! Probably next week will be all hot and heavy again, duh

Why does Buffy reminds you of HPB, Ellen? Really I'm interested to know! For me, DH will be like Friends' last season Yeah, the dress is pretty cool! Well, I hope she won't make Hermione get into fashion, just keep it simple as Hermione is.

Can you wait for the big kiss in DH?

Oh yeah, sure. No, I can't. But I encourage myself to do it so, because that would mean HP is over, RHr officially will be over, and I don't want that. I've been imagining how Rupert and Emma will manage it, though. Pretty funny. I'm not the actors shipper at all (which differs from my e-boss at LoverUnchained, who is reeeally R/E), but I think they had something a few years ago, just that it became awkward or something happened and they had to break up. Yeah, sad, but that's life

Ooh, I got The Sims 1 and the expansion, and I made Ron, Hermione and Hugo (Rose is at Hogwarts ), and my sister made Harry, Ginny and Lily (same here). My family is so cute! I already made them like each other a lot. Looking up to get those guys married soon, but... I don't have time to play the Sims!!

Hello, DeSs! I'm very pleased to meet you and happy to be here. I've visited this thread many times before. I only wish I would have joined a long time ago when there was more to talk about. But I'm sure I'll have lots of fun here just the same.
Can you wait for the big kiss in DH?
I'm excited for it, but I have to admit, I'm a much bigger fan of the books than of the movies. I like the movies, but I'm not crazy about the way they interpreted Ron's and Hermione's personalities and relationship. To me, the movie Ron seems too much like a dopey sidekick who never really knows what's going on. In the book, Ron is probably the least intelligent, least talented, and least mature in the trio, but I personally think they took this a little too far in the movies. Ron just seems more passionate, more with it, and smarter in the books. Again, he's not as intelligent as the other two, but he still comes up with good ideas that help the trio.
With Hermione, they did a good job in the movie of making her bookish and occasionally bossy, but in the books she has a softer, almost motherly side that I don't see so much in the movies. But anway, I'm sorry if I got a little off topic there. What I just said is nothing more than my humble opinion. (I'm sorry if I upset anyone, please don't hurt me! I'll be the first to admit that I'm way too picky when movies are made of my favorite books.) I do enjoy the movies, and it will be fun to see Ron and Hermione kiss on the big screen.

Hello Harmony and welcome to the utter madness that is the RHr thread! Funny, i immediately thought of a HHr shipper as well. Then i thought of the main character from the book "The Queen's Nose". Ehem. You may call me just Moon, everyone else does.

Can you wait for the big kiss in DH?

Yes and no. No, because well it's the RHr kiss-we've been waiting to see this for how long? I remember back in the good ol' days before DH came out, and we were all freaking out here along the lines of "RHr will be fantastic ... of course it will be! It has to be ...". To think there was a point where we wondered if RHr would even happen!

(Well to be honest, i always knew it must happen, because they're Ron and Hermione. They deserve to be together. But even then, we only got one kiss out of it, haha).

And then yes. Mainly because, like what Desi said, that'll mean RHr will be officially over. And i hate to think about that. HP and the RHr that goes with it was simply amazing and has been a part of our lives for so long ... dang ...

But then, what the heck? If i could watch it now, i would.

Geez, sorry for rambling so much ... anyway, long live RHr!

Hello Moon, I'm very pleased to meet you!

Sheesh, when I joined Veritaserum, I didn't realize how much people associate "Harmony" with the HHr ship. I didn't fully realize it until I peeked into the HHr thread (I need to stop doing that, it just angers or upsets me... Don't worry, I never post there. ) and saw somone refer to themselves as Harmony Shippers. (Noooooo! They can't steal my name like that!! Oh wait, they were here first... . Where have I been and why didn't I realize what the name Harmony was being used for? Aw well...) So, I'm sorry for the confusion, guys. If you want, you can call me Mandy. That's actually my real name.
Anyway, a while ago someone asked the question of how Ron and Hermione would celebrate Valentine's Day. I thought this was a really cute question and fun topic, so I would like to adress it.
Even though Hermione is bookish and practical, I know she'd love some romance on Valentine's day. I remember the time when she giggles at Mrs. Weasley's love potion story in book three, the time when she giggles at Lockhart's Valentine's Day decorations, drawing little hearts on her schedule next to Lockhark's class, her joy when Harry and Ginny get together, etc. Oh yeah, she's got some romance in her. Ron may be a little less enthusiastic deep down, but he would be eager to please, and I can see him taking Hermione out dancing and to a romantic dinner. *yay!* I think they would continue going out on Valentine's Day dates throughout their marriage, (aka the rest of their lives). They love their kids, but it's always fun to get out of the house once in a while and spend some one on one time together. Speaking of Rose and Hugo, I can also picture Ron and Hermione at Honeydukes, reliving old memories and picking out Valentine's Day gifts for the kids.

Can you wait for the big kiss in DH?

No I cannot wait! Hopefully they don't cut it out, this was a part I had been waiting for since I first read the part. The scene is so adorable, and how Ron changed completely by wanting to save the house elves! Emma said in an interview that she's very nervous to share lips with Rupert, but I think they'll be able to pass it off due to everyone waiting for it to happen. I think Ron and Hermione were meant for each other! The fights between their relationships makes it a real relationship!

Hmm, hmm, I don't think they'll cut it out. Besides, I think it was either today or yesterday that they were filming it, so... Can't wait to see how it all works out! But it's something I think all Hr/R shippers are waiting for, as we've read all the books, and seen them movies, we just want to see it on screen! Haha.

No,Kiersten, you're not wrong at all.... the kiss was filmed last Thusday!!! Emma said in an event that she wanted to make it the best kiss ever, and that there was going to be with fireworks and all (figurative fireworks,no real), so yaaay! Hooray because they left awkwardness behind and faced the truth... that we give a potato to how they feel, they're actors and they have to give us their best! Ah, mean me.

I'm happy because I stood awake on Friday all until 3 am to make a graphic and this is what I got: clicky!
Well, consider I'm not the best graphics maker, so that's the best I can do for now

Aw, I love how you planned their Valentine's, Mandy! (what a pretty name!) Yes, I think too that Hermione, as serious and all that she looks kind of gets a bit crazy about love... well, you know what they say, crazy little thing called love. So, I can imagine her starting her day with a big smile, waiting amused for the moment Ron realises why on earth she's grinning about, smacks his head and say "Hey, Happy Valentine's!" And she'll say "What, it's Valentine's? Today?" And make him believe she's forgotten and she's only smiling because it's a happy sunny day (of winter), and that will make Ron happy, even when he knows it's a lie

Moon!! When are you going to provide us with some of your amazing scripts? Gosh, that reminds me... I haven't written fanfiction in such a long time! Seriously, haven't touched the notebooks since what, April? I'll kill myself soon if I don't. (I'm lying badly, I won't kill myself at all I'm too cool for that-- oh, too much of a liar!)

Hey everyone!
Great picture DeSs! You did a fantastic job. I love how you described Ron's and Hermione's Valentine's Day morning. I can picture it being just like that, with Hermione smiling and waiting excitedly for Ron to remeber what day it is. Ron would be confused at first, but of course he will realize what occasion it is soon enough.
Yes, I know they'll keep the kiss in there, dchristen03. It's a pretty important moment. Also, they'll know that if they don't, they'll have a huge mob of R/Hr fans showing up at their doors with pitchforks and blazing torches. Besides, I hear that the director himself is a R/Hr fan, so we don't need to worry. Especially if it was filmed a couple of Thursdays ago.
I recently had an insight I would like to share. Ron becomes much more sensitive to Hermione's feelings in DH largely because he reads the book "Twelve Fail-Safe Ways to Charm Witches." Now, this has earned him a lot of ridicule because he needed a book to explain what seems so obvious; however, I've come to think that the fact that Ron was diligent enough to read the book and humble enough to follow its advice shows some character and maturity. Men and women sometimes have a hard time understanding each other because our brains are just wired so differently. (Heck, I'm a girl and sometimes I don't even understand myself!) So it's understandable that Ron would need a little extra help understanding how Hermione's feelings operate, and I would rather see Ron take advice from a book for Hermione's sake, than continue with his insensitivity and hurt the relationship. Ron could have said something like, "I don't need a stupid book! I can handle this on my own and it's Hermione's fault if she misunderstands me!" But no, he was humble enough to read this book and learn what he could do to improve his relationship with Hermione. So yes, it is funny that Ron needed a book, but I'm so glad he read it!
Was this a good and valid insight? I'd love to hear your thoughts if you have any! Thanks, guys!

I'm concerned about the 7th movie now. Wasn't the kiss in the second half of the book? They're splitting the movie into two parts, shouldn't they have filmed that much later? Now, I don't know if they're filming both parts at the same time, but I seriously don't want them to jump the gun on the kiss. This is easy to screw up. Is no one else a little worried for the rest fo the franchise?

I don't understand why people get so bent out of shape about Ron reading a relationship-type book. Where else was he going to learn it? Harry is...busy, and I'm pretty sure that he'd be waaaay to embarrassed to ask any of his brothers. So you gotta do what you gotta do. And I think it's fine cause it shows that he's serious about finding a way to make things work and that he's interested in really...being with Hermione. So, it's not exactly the best way I guess, but I saw it as a step in the right direction, kind of like what you said, Harmony.

Thanks, Mandy! I wasn't all fine because the text went a bit faster than it was meant to, but I'm pleased that people liked it

I agree with you two, and I couldn't be more infuriated about the prats that say "Oh yes, he had to read a book to flirt with Hermione!" What's wrong with that?? Is it a crime? Is it wrong? Well, if it is, then I can't explain why there're so many men around the world yet. Ok, I'm a bit violent But seriously... c'mon. I think Ron trying to understand women using a book is a huge step. Just like you say, Mandy, he could just be "I don't care, just let's wait a bit, and she'll jump to my arms, or I could snog her when she feels weak and sad and that's all". It's a big deal to understand women. It is a sign of maturity that he was interested enough in being with Hermione as to read a book. Let's remember that Ron wasn't the biggest reader (and that doesn't make him less man, heavens sake! He's not stupid for not being fond of reading, most people don't find books that interesting!).
Of course he wouldn't ask his brothers or his sister. Ginny insulted him for not having kissed anybody ever, so what face would he use to ask her for advise? That, woul definitely be OOC. And having grown up with all those siblings made everybody quite independant, so asking his brothers is out too.
So, what's wrong?? What's wrong, not with Ron, but with the world that find wrong using a simple book to flirt? Besides, it's not that he used potions, or charms! he just tried to learn the best that the book could offer him, the best that could help him to be a better man for the girl he knew he loved. He didn't do anything to flirt with Lavender, he didn't take too much trouble to flirt with anyone else.

Yeah, you know Droobles, I had the same doubt. I made a folder in the gallery I manage under "Deathly Hallows Part I", but then realised that there were parts that belong to part II, according to the stated. Like the scenes filmed in Scotland, with Harry and Hermione alone; that's supposed to belong to part 2. But they're filming scenes from both parts because Emma begins university in September, so the rest of the scenes without her will be filmed later. Anyway, I do feel it's a bit rushed.

Anyway, I've been thinking, and that kiss has to be so good... that wil win the MTV Movie Awards!

Sorry for not being around guys, it's been a month now! I've been busy mostly with watching, and more importantly reviewing anime. I'm watching something called Toradora now, it's only a little better than "just okay." Cliche shojo is so boring! Here's the general story line, "Here's angry anime girl A and anime guy B, they both have crushes on other people, they spend 3 quarters of the series fighting, then they get together in the last episode." ::sigh:: The fighting couple can be done so well, as seen with Ron and Hermione, of course, but it can also get annoying if you've seen it 50 times done the exact same way.
Cliche shojo is almost as annoying as cliche shounen. I did finally watch the first season of Naturo, which I didn't hate. I thought I would, but I didn't, really it's alright and I enjoyed watching it at some parts. But I do kind of hate Sasuke, more for fangirl's reaction to his character than the character himself. Girls delude themselves to think they can change guys like that, but they can't. You can't "save" anyone from themselves, no matter how pretty they are.
That's what I use my youtube channel for now, reviewing anime, that and making anti-Twilight videos. Here it is, if you want to see my Youtube channel. But I haven't been much of an active anti-Twilight person lately, expect for catering to my community, but it really takes care of itself. I'm the one of the most laid back mods ever, but I can afford to be, since most people just follow the rules I set up with out complaint.
I did make that R/Hr vid I was talking about, but youtube made it go away! I'm so sick of youtube taking off my videos. I did set up a page on another website, I will keep you all posted when I have all of our HP stuff up.
DeSs, I think that HBP is the most like Buffy, as a series. I mean Harry and Buffy as character do have a lot in common, but in HBP there's Harry's double life I think is contrasted the most. Because he has Quidditch, and school work, and his friends romantic issues causing him stress, and his own romantic problems giving him stress. And on the flip side, he's got his lessons with Dumbledore, pondering over what Malfoy and Snape are up to, he's thinking about what it means to become this solider that will take down Voldermort. And Buffy had that for her 3 years of high school, her regular person life and her life as a slayer.
I don't think that Hermione will be interested in fashion now, but I was just saying that Emma's style is being placed onto Hermione.
And what proof do you have for something happening between Rupert and Emma? I'm sorry, but I really think that they've been nothing but friends, so I want to know what your reasoning is.
Lovely graphic! I like the shade of it, it's nice on the eyes.
And I love you for steeping on your soap box there, saying "nothing in wrong with Ron for reading that book." And you're completely right of course. Ron just needed advice, that's what he got.
Harmony, or Mandy, welcome! People mostly call me Ellen, since it's my name. I agree, I don't like what they did with Ron in the movies. I do think that Yates finally got it right though, or at least is moving in the right direction with Ron coming off as actually being helpful to the group. And never be scared to say what you think! I do however disagree about Hermione, because I think she is motherly in the movies, too. Did you know that Emma pretends that Harry is her younger brother when her and Dan do scene together?
I'm not sure how they would be on Valentines Day, but I don't think they'd make a big deal out of it. Dinner and dancing, yes, but chocolates and flowers, no.
Fear not Droobs and DeSs! I thought that they where filming the first and second bits together, as one long shoot, they did that for the Lord of the Ring trilogy, and for Pirates of the Caribbean they filmed bits of At World's End during the Dead Man's Chest shoot. So don't worry. The timing of filming has to do with what's most cost effective, not the time in which the clip will appear in terms of the 7th movie, or movies.
I'm excited for the kiss, of course. I've been over the end of HP for a while, so I won't be sad at the end of the movies, just glad they existed in the first place.

Men marry women thinking they won't change.

Women marry men thinking they will change.

They are both dissappointed.

Right, but you see that Sasuke really is a jerk who really doesn't care much for others, but he has the most fangirls. It reminds me of a quote from Family Guy, Stewie asked Brain: Do women respond when you treat them like c***. Brian said: I don't know if you want to be that black and white about it, and then Stewie finished by saying: So women respond when you treat them like c***. ::sigh:: My feminist heart gets sad sometimes, more so lately hearing girls squeal about Twilight.
This post had nothing to do with R/Hr.

Mod Edit: Check your inbox please.

By the time HBP hit the theatres, R/Hr is the most obvious pair of the Harry Potter series. They have been placed together strategically by various directors in the previous movies. However, not until HBP, the attraction becomes undeniable. Ron and Hermione would be the pairing we can see growing from book to book.

I LOVE Ron and Hermione together! I think that it's just hilarious to see them go through the years, always liking each other, but never admitting it. I REALLY don't like it when Ron goes out with Lavender. He just belongs with Hermione. And Lavender is kind of annoying.

So, i haven't been here in forever. But the kiss was filmed two weeks ago...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/harry-p...rry-Potter.html

Six takes...that's amazing. That seriously must mean there was a lot of chemistry and fire. Really. The Cho/Harry kiss took more than twenty takes, did it not? I am really looking forward to seeing it onscreen. Can't WAIT.

The Cho/Harry kiss took more than twenty takes, did it not?
Yeah, you're right it did. I was surprised when I read that, only 6. I guess they shouldn't have been so worried, since they nailed it so easily. I guess that they just stepped into their characters and left themselves behind. I wish they would have convened her tone a little, like if she was causal about it or not. That happens to a lot of people I think, if there was an event they were dreading they big deal about it, but after it's done, they act like it was nothing.
Muggs, true that. I mean with HBP JK let the anvils dump on her readers so there was no doubt in anyone's minds anymore so the movie should do the same.

Wow. I feel real bad for not dropping in here from time to time. I guess i could bore you with the whole 'Life sucks, homework, school, trying to get with my own Ron, blah, blah, blah' but i won't. So welcome and welcome back to everyone.

I guess the reason i decided to pop in a check on my bunch of merry RHr friends, was because only yesterday i finallu purchased my tickets for HBP! I guess i'm that much more excited now that i can actually get into the theatre, haha. But it again made me wonder how the RHr will be handled (i say again, because i think we've dicussed it to death).

But six takes to film the kiss? Wow, i was expecting a lot more than that. I'm kind of worried-is six takes good, because it was simple and easy? Or bad, they don't have enough to go on? Meh, i guess we'll find out when Part II comes out (aw, that's so far away ...)



That's interesting, how you mentioned the two sides to harry-the normal teenaged side, and then the famous 'chosen one' side. I think Ron and Hermione could have two sides to them too-as in, there's the side where they're normal wizards, with romantic troubles and then on the other hand they've got to be loyal sidekicks to Harry. They must've worried about that a lot, that Harry needed them and there wasn't time during the war for romance. It's probably why they had to wait until the war was over before they got together-or rather, during the war (we didn't read seven books not to get a kiss there was no point waiting when they could've been killed! It's like ...)

Wars, Kisses, Fangs, Ron and Hermione.
By Moon.

Hermione: -thinking- Duck, stupefy, leap, Ron, Harry, Merlin!, Ron, watch it, Ron, fight, Ron, stay alive, Ron ...

Ron: -thinking- This war sucks, can't i kiss Hermione already?

Hermione: Look, it's Harry! Hey Harry, we've got basilisk fangs to kill the horcruxes!

Harry: Who's genius plan was that?

Hermione: All Ron! Merlin, i love him, isn't he amazing?

Ron: I know i'm amazing! Now to be more amazing, i'm going to say we need to save the house elves!

Hermione: Save the house elves? You're so amazing, i could kiss you!

Ron: Well, why aren't you?

Hermione: Because we have to be loyal sidekicks to Harry!

Ron: We could be killed any second, Hermione!

Hermione: Oh, right! -flings fangs away and throws herself at Ron-

Awkward!Harry: -is awkward-

-Fin

Oh my Merlin, i just wrote a script! Wow, how's that for a comback? I hope you liked.

Long live R/Hr!

Ha. Ha. Ha. That made me laugh quite hard, let me tell you. And, uh, hmm. This is awkward. I feel strange on here, being 'new'.

Ah, well.

I really liked the Ron/Hermione pairing, ever since I was old enough to understand "pairings" and such. (When i started reading them, I wasn't.) And I hope they do it justice in the movies, and such...

Wow, i sound lame. But anyway... Yeah, I guess I'm done.

Ahh! A fellow Hr/R shipper! *does happy dance* welcome, and don't feel awkward being new; it's better to come late than never. And Moon, I loved it! It's so funny, it actually does sound like what they might of been thinking, maybe, haha, but maybe not. Either way, it's great.


I'm a little worried how well the kiss will actually turn out, but I hope it's good. It should be, as I think Emma and Rupert should know how important this kiss is to the series, and the Hermione/Ron relationship. But I just thought I'd pop in and say hi... we need some new questions, but I'm all out.. anyone have any ideas?

No, not as such.
Moon, Dan said that the kiss was "a very good kiss." I'm prone to believe Dan and trust his opinion since he's...well, him, and so awesome and everything. I watched an interview thing, there's so many now that it's HBP time, Emma talked about the kiss and she said the kiss part was easy, but the hard part was then having to look at Rupert after. She said they both laughed their first time.
And you're so funny, sweetie!
Hermione: All Ron! Merlin, i love him, isn't he amazing?
Ron: I know i'm amazing! Now to be more amazing, i'm going to say we need to save the house elves!
That part made me laugh the most.
I just found this, please to enjoy:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=728xTggDZ7g

I know I haven't posted in a loooooong time, but on the eve of Half-Blood Prince I just wanted to give my best to my fellow R/Hr shippers! I hope you have soooo much fun seeing it, look for all the R/Hr goodness, and I hope that it's all that you hoped it would be!

Have a GREAT time, and see you on the other side!

Hey everyone! I'm sorry I haven't been around lately.
Moon, that was hilarious! I wouldn't be surprised if that was exactly what they were thinking! (And what you wrote is basically what really happened except with some extra humor .) I also liked how you said that Ron and Hermione were dedicated to Harry and wanted to help him as much as they could. That could be one reason why it took them so long to get together, and I think it shows what great friends they are.
It's great to meet you, Ellen! Yes, I prefer the Ron and Hermione of the books, but I do have to admit that I thought they were done better in movie 5 than in the previous movies. Hopefully, Yates will keep up the good work. Hermione's gentler side does come through in the movies, just not nearly as much as I'd like it to. But you know, I've got to remind myself that there's so much good stuff packed into the books that it just isn't possible to fit it all in the movies. J. K. Rowling was able to give us plenty of fun glimpses into the trio's personal, everyday lives, and we got to read lots of fun little anecdotes that they just couldn't fit into the movies. The movie makers have a time limit, and they need to include the already large number of important story points to make it work. So yes, I'm sure the movie makers are doing their best, I just need to remember to stop being so picky, and know that even though I'll always like the books best, I can still appreciate and enjoy other interpertations.
Don't worry this be jasmine:), I'm new too! Yes, I still feel a bit awkward myself, but now we can feel awkward together. I'm just teasing. We shouldn't feel awkward. Everyone here is really nice.
Yes, yes, new question...um...I can't think of anything right now, but if I do I'll come back and post it.

Hello again! I did manage to think of a question that we can discuss.
How do you think Hermione's parents feel about Ron and his relationship with their daughter?
Unfortunately, we don't know much about Hermione's parents, but they do seem to love their daughter very much. The only time we see them is in book two in Diagon Alley. In the Wizarding world, they seem a bit overwhelmed and nervous and maybe even a little frightened. (Which is understandable because they're two successful dentists who have suddenly entered a world they know very little about, and where they have very little control over the things going on around them.) It seems that while they'll always love Hermione, they still have a hard time being part of her vastly different world. When Hermione is still attending school, she probably tells her parents about her two best friends. They would probably enjoy that because friendship is something they can understand, and they can probably tell from the way Hermione talks about Ron that he is someone special to her. They may have been nervous meeting Ron at first as he is a full grown wizard, but I can see them coming to love Ron as their new son-in-law. I'll bet the Grangers love spending time with Hermione's new family, and I can see Ron feeling very pleased at finally being the center of attention. I love Mrs. Weasley, but she always seemed to pay Ron the least attention. I hate to say it, but I could see her doting on Harry and his children and let Ron's family take the back seat. I hope I'm wrong about that, but if I'm not, at least Ron will get plenty of love as the Granger's only son-in-law. (I'm sure Mr. Weasley would love spending time with the Grangers as well. I can just see him now, going out to a Muggle restaurant with Ron, Hermione, and the Grangers, exclaiming loudly how wonderful it all is. I love Mr. Weasley!
So anyway, I thought I'd throw that question out there. Sorry if it's random. You don't have to answer if you don't want to.

Good evening, everybody, such a long time I haven't posted, but the truth is that when I see so many posts, I freak out and get scared of posting So... tomorrow (or next week for me, do I deserve that?) we're going to have some RHr love, so get ready, get your popcorn, and hug your Won-Won action figure (hey, I don't have one but I'd want to) because... that's love, man! And if by chance you hear somebody claiming she/he is a Harmonian, be sure of giving her/him a good kickin' on her/his backside!

Well, yes, I was surprised as well when miss Emma said the kiss had taken only six takes all in all. But then I thought: 'Hey, this is "One-Take Watson", and these are also the guys claiming to have to do the worst thing in the world, so it's obvious that they would try to make it as good as possible on the first take so they'll get out of it soon!' Anyway, guys, Yates said in a recent interview that it was a hell of snogging (verbatim), and he's a huge Romionian, we've got to trust in him.

FollowTheSpiders, I hated Lav-Lav too, because it made Hermione extremely miserable, but as Jessie Cave said, if it wasn't because of Lavender, they would have never admitted as they did during HBP that they liked each other, or maybe it would have been ages. I know it's a poor explanation, but I don't know... Ron became aware that he wasn't really having a good time with Lavender, but he still liked Hermione

Ellen, I liked your comparison too I would watchBuffy now, but when I was a kid I was really scared of vampires since I watched an episode of... I think it was "Are you afraid of the dark?", and I must say Im really afraid, especially right now

Moon, you found your Ron!!! I hope everything goes well with the two of you. I've found my Ron as well, but I haven't seen him in a while and I've got only one chance to make a move, so for the first time I won't be a chicken (probably). Oh, I really liked your script!! Yay! I've wanted to write scripts again everytime I posted here, but I always feel so slow and lacking imagination!

Ah, Jasmine, don't be shy! Just for being a RHr fellow, we love you. You should know that Romionians are the most friendlier shippers Don't feel shy!

Haha, I think the same, Harmony! We just have to calm down and forget about the things that actually happen in the books, at least while we watch the movie. They can't fit everything in there and they do their best for sure. Just that there're some little things that could be followed as the books say, but... I'll stop.

How do you think Hermione's parents feel about Ron and his relationship with their daughter?

Ah, your question reminded me of a rib-cracking script Moon wrote a while ago, about Hermione telling her mom and dad about Ron. It was so hilarious!!
Well,Hermione's parents have always intrigued me. I know, I know, lots of people have already told me that the fact of that their daughter is a witch, who lives in a different world and barely spends her summer holidays with them, and can't tell them very much because they wouldn't understand, but I don't know... I somehow see Hermione quite apart from her parents. Well ,I don't know, maybe it's just like my parents, so I don't know why I'm thinking so much through it.
I think her parents wouldn't have a problem with Ron; they met his parents in CoS, and also, at the end of OotP they met in King's Cross, maybe Mr and Mrs Weasley talked a bit with them after Harry left, and I believe they got along. As Hagrid said, Hermione's got the heart on the right place, and she must have inherited from her parents, so I don't think that Mr and Mrs Granger would be concerned about the Weasleys not having enought money, or a boy who is a wizard for her daughter instead of a lawyer, for example. I think they'd be supportive, to mend all the years they couldn't been there to support Hermione the way she needed it.

Ah, well, I won't check this thread until next week in case you want to comment the movie, I can't ask you not to do it because we all have been really exciting and waiting for it

Oh, I've had this script for such a long time in my head; it's actually a funny version of what I think it happened in DH, actually:

Let's look for the Horcrux... yeah. - By Desi
Harry: (to himself) C'mon, I know the diadem is over here, somewhere here, it can't be that well hidden, am I so stupid as to hide it so well? Well, yeah, I must confess I am, after all it's... Hang on, what's that noise? Ron? Hermione?
Nothing.
Harry: Rooon! Hermioooneee!
Draco: (Stepping from behind of a pile of rubbish.) Have you lost something, Potter?
Goyle and Crabbe come, start fighting and become quite nasty, a wardrobe gets on fire and the mountains of rubbish start to fall down.
Harry: Ron! Hermione! Where on earth are you, are any of you hurt?
(Turns a corner)
Harry: What the--?
Ron: (blushing) Um, sorry mate.
Hermione: We held it enough.
Ron: Er... did you say something? Help?

Ok, not very good, but I've always imagined that Ron and Hermione could start snogging while Harry looks for the diadem. Would have been fun.

Woh. So i totally just saw the HBP movie. I'll put my comments in spoiler tags, so you people who haven't seen it aren't ... uh, spoiled?



Haha, so yeah. I'm glad you all liked the script! Ellen, i'm glad you think i'm funny, it's really one of the only qualities people see in me (and thanks for the video, it was great!) The scripts just come to me, really. I loved your's, Desi, i snorted with laughter reading it.
(And yeah, i guess i've found my Ron-he's pretty clueless like Ron, actually. I think i'll need some luck with that. Good luck with your Ron!).

And welcome, Jasmine (can we call you that?)! To the wonderful world that is the RHr thread! Where there's lot of scripts, lots of nicknames, lots of Ron and Hermione and where RHr is discussed to death! I swear, we're not completely insane down here ...



I wrote a script about that? Wow, i don't remember that one ... haha, i think i've written too many. But i agree with you, about how Hermione is probably cut off from herr parents. I wish we'd seen more of them in the series, but oh well. I think they would probably feel a bit apprehensive at first of Ron. I mean, she has kind of brought home some weird 'wizard' from what is practically another world they know nothing about, after all. I'd be a bit worried.

I always imagine Hermione bringing him round for dinner and everything going absolutely wrong-as these things often do, haha. I think i wrote a fanfic about it once actually, quite a while back. I think Hermione's parents would be reluctant to have them together, but after a few disastorous family get-togethers, they'd warm up to the Weasley's.

Shot Harmony, i don't think we've ever asked this question before. It's been a long time since new discussion-i miss the old days before DH came out.



This is an interesting point, i've never considered it before. It's always been known Ron's been the least-important of his family, or rather overshadowed by his brothers and sister. I could imagine Ron and Hermione's family being overlooked. As sad as it is, i could make an interesting fanfic out of this idea ... but i like to think Ron would believe he and Hermione are being overlooked, but as it turns out, who could resist Rosie and Hugo? They have to be the cutest kids in the world!

So i guess that's all for now. Long live RHr!

I forget how you tag.
Yeah Moon, the hospital scene was amazing. Emma was really brilliant, too. I hate that people were so critical about Hermione being "OOC" in HBP since she was a mess in this book. But I think people forget that she's a 17 year old girl who's in love. Love makes you do crazy, stupid, hurtful, and sometimes horrible things. And I think Emma played her part so well that you'd be a jerk to not feel for her. Rupert played his part as being lovably clueless and confused about what he's feeling. I don't know, I need to see it more times to say more things about it.
Jessie was really good as well. She was really annoying but some how likable as this insane girl that who's the furthest thing from Hermione.
How do you think Hermione's parents feel about Ron and his relationship with their daughter?
I agree with DeSs that Hermione is separate from her parents, but I think that being grown up, and out of school, and finished with the war, allows Mr. and Mrs. Granger to get to know their daughter again. And that they would get closer to her and Ron, of course. I'm sure that they'd see that Ron, no matter what else he is, is completely in love with Hermione and devoted to her.
Harmony, I see your point, but I don't agree. Mrs. Weasley, the whole family, has known and loved Hermione for years. She's one of them so I don't see the Ron and Hermione being pushed out of the family's focus. Ron is over shadowed but he's amazingly important, Hermione and Harry just don't work with out him.

Aw, thanks guys. (: And yeah, Jasmine is fine.

Ha, yeah. I loved the hospital scene, i was smiling so hard. [And, incidentally, the next scene. xD She was so funny.]

How do you think Hermione's parents feel about Ron and his relationship with their daughter?

I think they probably understand that he loves her, she loves him, and trust their daughter to be smart enough to make the right choices... Plus, they wouldn't even know [most likely] until way after it began, so they couldn't stop it as it were.

hey everyone! so its been quite a while since ive posted on these forums (its seriously been like a year ) school has been super super busy.. but im back for a bit!! and boy have i missed all of you!!

ohmygoodness. HBP was AMAZING! honestly, i loved all the RHr-ness. i was practically squee-ing throughout the whole movie! (well, not the whole movie, but at least for most of it)
i dont really know if im going to spoil anything for people who havent seen the movie, so i guess i'll use spoiler tags as well..

oh Harry Potter Ron & Hermione, what would i do without you?

but anyways, onto the question:
How do you think Hermione's parents feel about Ron and his relationship with their daughter?
good question... i feel like since Ron is so dedicated to Hermione, they wouldnt have much of a problem with him. i cant really think of anyone who wouldnt love his personality though. but once the familys get together to meet, well i can see some interesting situations happening there. but all-in-all, im sure that they trust Hermione to make the right decisions, and if he truly does make her happy, what parents would deny their child that kind of love & happiness?

The Grangers must be really comfortable with the Weasleys. They met the Weasleys at the beginning of Chamber of Secrets and they have let Hermione spend big portions of her summer vacations at the Weasleys. In GOF, OOTP, HBP, and DH she is with the Weasleys before Harry got to the Weasleys. The Grangers also seem to be very accepting of hermione being a witch and going off to Hogwarts. They know she is a growing girls and is away at boarding school, so her meeting "someone" is not going to be a gigantic surprise. It would appear that Hermione gets to do pretty much what she pleases at home (common for an only child to become more of a friend than a kid to the parents).

Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum and Harry Potter I've read only one chapter of the 4th book..I'm not really sure why I started there but I did.

[b]So do you think Ron likes Hermione as much as she likes him? Or he just hasn't discovered it yet?

browneyedgirl, she said "spearmint toothpaste" since in an early scene Ron said "you have tooth paste." So that was an allusion back to that scene, letting you you know "hey, Hermione likes Ron."
boricuachica7, welcome. Umm, which ones of the movies have you seen?

well, boricuachica7, welcome to the Veritaserum forums, and the R/Hr thread

oh yes, i understood why they did it, but i was just saying that i liked the fact that in the book she didnt list a third thing. it let the imagination wander, and of course most of us already thought it was about Ron.
though i guess it was good for the people who havent read the book that they threw in toothpaste thing..that way it'll emphasize to them that its definately going to be R/Hr.
