Yes, I know all the shocked screams, outraged jaw dropping, and down right angry cursing that must have taken place for many of you after reading the title. But you’ve got to admit the possibility is there, with them being teenagers in a castle that you could easily find a privet place in. And the fact that she is often alone with Ron or Harry during the summer holidays, sometimes hours on end without adult supervision. Now I’m not saying that it will happen, or even that it’s probable, I’m just saying that there’s a possibility.

And just in case some of you are thinking that I’m saying teenagers are just big bundles of hormones that control their every decision, I’m not. I’m just saying that teenagers are prone to bad decisions and making mistakes. (I should know I am one.)

But back to the topic at hand. I doubt JK would do something like this, because it just doesn’t seem like her, but there’s always the possibility, especially if it could play an important role in the storyline. Whether you think she will be together with Harry or Ron doesn’t matter, the possibility is there with both. For those of you who think it’s just not in their character to do this, I say that I have seen on many occasions where teenagers (myself included) have done things that no one thought fit the character of who they are.

As for the when, it could happen any time within the next two books.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this. And hence forth I will be hiding under my bed until such time when your murderous rage has subsided for my suggesting such heresy.

Personally I highly doubt that this will happen just because it's not like JK to write about someone being pregnant! Especially when they're just teenagers! It COULD happen, I guess, but I still think it shouldn't happen. I mean it would ruin Hermione's life!

Hermione? pregnant? I'm scared. I've considered this possibility, and it seems way unlike Hermione. And besides, children read these books. I for one would duck and cover for fear of the world coming to an end if she was pregnant. But, I guess it's possible. I mean, this is a book about growing up.

Hmm..I don't think so, and I don't think J.K. would write that. Hermione could, of course, end up pregnate in her seventh year or something..
It's come across my mind too, but not with Harry or Ron, someone else at Grimmauld Place , lol.
Anyway, like kool kat said, it's not like Hermione to get involved in that kind of thing because she's a role model student, responsible, she's not the type to let her that kind of thing happen, and when she's that young..
But *sigh* it's still a possibility, and the fanfics that I've read with Hermione being pregnate turn out to be really good, so it'd be something to see how J.K. would write it.

I got the impresion from Llnxtr91 that they thought I was talking about her getting pregnant just for the sake of getting pregnant. I'm talking about she gets pregnant and it has a major role in the outcome of the series. JK said that life would be getting harder for all of them, and well this would surtanly make it harder.

He's a sanareo(sp?) that I thought of, say the child was Ron's. Now say that Voldemort ambushes them somehow and is in postion to kill both Harry and Ron and Hermione's child. Ron can save one but not the other, and if he does nothing they both die. Who does he sacrefice his life to save?

Or, it's Harry's and he goes to any lengths to protect that child, and Voldemort knows this, so he kidnaps them and lures Harry into a trap where he and Voldemort batlle it out ending both there lives.

And this one just cam to me as I was typing that last one.
It is Harry's and Hermione's kid, and by the time it's due Hermione defies Voldemort two more times. In which case both Harry and Hermione would have dfied him three times. (or in Harry's case more) And the prophecy was really refering to their child.

I don't think JK would put something like that in the book, because think of how many kids read the books? i help my 7 year old sis read it. parents would not be too happy, i'm sure it would be in potter news for awhile... I'm pretty sure some kids think of her as a role model.. they'd either be crushed or.... follow in her ways to put it short. So I don't think shell do that, but at the end of book 7 i'm sure shell say whether or not they had kids when the were adults...

Im sorry but that is the most outrageous thing i have ever heard! JKR would never put that in a book especialy if its being read by little kids by their parents and siblings. i mean i guess its a posibility and could happen but i highly doubt it will be in one of the books.

Wow....erm.....you know, I have no problem whatsoever with JKR introducing the idea of homosexuality, but teenage pregnancies.....I just.....well.....

For once in my life, words fail me.

What?!

Hermione? Pregnant? No... though I'm really shipping in a ship I doubt that one. I mean... wow! Hermione is a clever girl. I don't think she'll do that thing...

Um...

Uh...

Eh...

Just trying to think of the proper words to use. (Not that I'm going to burn ya...) First of all, thank you for introducing this thread to the forums. Most wouldn't have the tenacity.

It is a possibility, although I must say that it is kind of out there, but I do realize you are talking about this as a possibility and its consquences, not a theory. (You probably want to clarify your position more so people stop saying that this is ridiculous)

To continue this dicussion though, I would need to know who the father was in your mind. Was it one of the trio, or someone on the outside? If the trio, which of the two? If outside, how would that possiblity unravel out?

Wishing you good discussion on a topic,
Soumnek

Uhh...well...you certainly caught me off gaurd, Ghost ...

Hermione pregnant would certainly put a twist on the books, but I think it's highly unlikely. Hermione wouldn't even allow Ron to sneak a firewhisky at Hogshead; I doubt she'd go to the extreme of pregnancy. Maybe someone else may get pregnant, but I think it's safe to say it won't be Hemione!

But it was very brave of you to put forth this theory, Ghost. By your first post you seemed to know that head-biting would ensue ...

*snort*, I really must thank you ghost for cheering me up somewhat after a horrible day yesterday.

I think you are right in that it is in the realms of possibility, but PROBABILITY?

You know, I actually once had a whole senario worked out in my head where in the 7th year Harry actually does get his girl up-the-duff, however it wasn't Hermione, cos everyone knows she is Ron's! *hands over the head and runs for cover*
I thought maybe when Voldy tries to kill this girlfriend and the baby that spurs Harry to find the strength to AK him. And so ends the story. But then I realised how desperate I had become to find an ending to the saga.

See, Hermione IMHO could only get pregnant to Ron (you H/Hr shippers will wreck your monitors if you dont stop throwing stuff at the screen) , and no matter how hard I try, I just cant picture it somehow

Still lets see how far you can run with the idea. lol

Oh, I agree there is no evidence to support this happening, but I never said that there was, and I didn't post it as a theory. But I just thought of something, if JK is taking things from her own life and putting them in some way into the books, she was a single mother before she wrote the books.


Let me draw my attention to somthing Dana said.

Ron? Hmm...

There is a lot of fanfiction out there talking about Hermione being pregnant. (Hey, don't look at me)

We would definitely know what the Weasley's reaction would be. (Molly's screams, the twins pestering, etc.) It would be nice to know what the Granger's reaction would be.

Plus, what would the baby look like? If it's a guy, brown eyes. If girl, blue eyes. Both would have copper hair.

Ok, this goes way beyond my usually anti-lovey dovey attitude. It's interesting to think about the possibilities though.

Wishing you more inspirational thoughts,
Soumnek

I can only imagine the reaction if it happened, like you said Mrs. Weasley would definitely scream, then she would probably chase Ron around firing spells at him. But I think Fred and George's reactions would be a mix of teasing and winking.




Oh, let me just say this before someone bites my head off for mentioning the whole JK being a single mother thing. I don't know the circumstances of her being in that position, so if it was something like she had a husband and he died than fine, that point isn't valid.

She was a single mother because she was divorced, as far as I know...or at least the relationship didn't work out. But I really don't think that JKR's private life is any of our business, so I haven't really paid much attention to that to be honest.

As for your other question, Ghost, I've posted so extensively with my views on both subjects before that I really don't want to waste my time getting into the same old discussions again. I've said my piece, and that's that. If you're interested, then take a look at my previous posts.

Seriously though even if Hermione were 'up to things' with either Harry or Ron (Go Hermione and Ron!!!!!!) i dont think Hermione would let it happen without protection...either magical or a barrier.

Oh, my, frickin gosh! You people keep acting like I've said things that I never even hinted at. I never said that JK's personal life was any of our business. I was simply saying that no matter how hard you try your life experiences work their way into your writing, and that sometimes you put it in there on purpose. Because I agree that her personal life isn't our business.


Ok, Dana, you know in most likely hood all or most of those posts you're talking about were posted before I came to the board, so it would take a lot less time for the person that wrote them, who knows where they are to simply copy and paste them into here. Rather than have somebody who has no idea where to begin looking for them to try and find theses posts.

Look, I have over 114 pages of posts on this forum...I have absolutely no idea where half of them are - I've been here for nearly a year and a half. I really don't want to go down the same paths I've been down about a hundred times before. As I said, I've said all I have to on the subject and I don't want to argue with people about it anymore. I've decided that a live and let live attitude gives me far less cause to reach for the budweiser or the guinness.

I understand your point of view though, so I'll try and make it easier on you - those posts are, in all probability, either here in the abortion thread (somewhere around the middle probably), here in the homosexuality thread, here in the Remus/Sirius thread, here in the oddest pairing thread (probably towards the end somewhere) or here in the slash pairings thread. I've posted quite a bit in all of them at some time, and pretty much said all I have to about the issues there. You're welcome to comment there if you want to because this is drifting slightly off topic, but I should warn you that I have no intention of entering into any more debates about those subjects because they just give me headaches and pretty much boil down to personal beliefs that I don't feel I have to justify anyway...

I should point out though that I'm not sure I like the way this topic is going. You're getting very defensive, Ghost, and there's no need to be. You knew that this was likely to raise a few eyebrows, so if you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen... Just tone it down a bit please.

Thank you for the links.

I'm fine with taking flack because I posted this, I'm getting defensive only because I keep getting acussed of saying things I didn't say. I am sorry for my rudeness and I would like to get back on topic.

Zev Love X, please check your PM in-box. Thank you.

ive alwasy though that a proper adult version of harry potter should be written so subjects such as this could be in the book in order to make a more intresting story. Theres no swearing in the books, what 15 year olds do not swear within there own society.

Although I agree the theory is a little weird and highly unlikely of both Hermione and JKR, I would just L O V E to see what Snape would say on the subject. Oh, wow, that would be funny.

hahaha hermoine pregnant thats absurd, and it would destroy her innocence in the book

I'm not so sure about this theory but not because of the argument that parents will be mad at JK (honestly she made it clear that she doesn't give much to their reaction) but as someone posted here there's just no proof, no hint in the books.

But ghost, as a credit to you: I'd love to see Rons reaction when he finds out that he will become a father (and yes you shippers I'm convinced that if Hermione would ever get pregnant Ronald would be the daddy )! To read this would make day, no the whole month happy!

I very much doubt this will happen not only is there enough outrage with Harry Potter I doubt JK would want to cause anymore by having Hermione fall pregnant. Also Hermione seems much too smart to go around sleeping with people and not taking precautions even if she did do it. Another thing is that the trio will have more important things on their mind in the next book so I think the last thing on their minds would be having intimate relationships of that sort. Also please remember these are children's books (not that only children read them of course) but it would just be so terrible for something like that to happen in a book for children because children are very easily influenced and if they see their heroin getting pregnant it may cause them to want to copy. (This could happen as we've seen many people walking around with 'Harry Potter' glasses)

Well, first off let me just say this. These books are no longer for kids. In my opinion book six should not be read by anyone under the age of thirteen, maybe even fourteen and thirteen and fourteen-year-olds are old enough to know (or at least they should) that you don't copy stuff you read and see, and if they don't know that blame falls on the parents. Also there is a big difference between glasses and getting pregnant.

Next, I would like to know what makes people think that she gives a rat's butt about what a reaction she'll get?

I must say I had more confidence in this possibility before I read book six, but that doesn't mean it won't happen.

As for the fact that she's too smart to do something like this with out taking precautions. It could easily be a spur of the moment thing not intending it to happen, and after all it only takes the one time. It could be she needs comfort, Ron's the only one there, and it escalates, which I've heard of many times.

Well, it could happen in the book, but be of no importance also. I believe i heard her say once that she would be saying what ended up happening in their future in the books. i might be wrong but either way... it could happen. oh and for the age levels for the book, amazon has ages 7-12 or something for them all. even Half Blood Prince. i found that very odd, knowing that probably more than half the people who read these books are way over "7-12". but i think they'll be too busy in the next book to have anything like this happen...

ROFL
Hermione's too responsible to do that! I don't know where you got this idea! It's just laughable!

Well, yes it could happen, but for what we now know from the sixth book and what we are expecting from the seventh, I don't think it fits into the plot for Hermione to expect a baby.
Your'e a brave one for starting this topic

what?? hermione pregnant? i dont think that JK would ever put a thing like that to the HP books. I mean my 9 year ols cousin reads them.

lol pregnant, Hermione? I don't see that happen, I don't think it would be a good influence for the young readers. And she is to smart en responsible to become pregnant.

hahaha! actually the first time i saw the topic title i just laugh! but you do got a point for that! there's really a possibility. but i think JKR won't do such thing. i was thinking that it's impossible to happen. but i do believe that there are times that teenagers are on the wrong way of their lives. but come and think of it, hermione's a clever one, we all know that she's the school know-it-all, but you think she'll easily be hooked on such things (being pregnant) of course not. she somehow knows what's right from wrong.

but i believe that she'll be pregnant if JKR will continue the series after book 7. of course they're already graduated in hogwarts and they have their own lives now. and is natural that hermione will have a family then she'll be pregnant... hehehe!

if she does become pregnant then who will be the father? thats what i wanna know would it be ron or harry or even krum u never know

hmm...thats a very interesting theory, ghost. I cant say i've put any thought into that topic! but i dont know, i could kind of she jkr actually putting that kind of twist in to the books. that would be very interesting. I loved that theory or scenario where you said it was really harry and hermiones baby that the prophecy was referring to! also i liked the one between ron choosing his life or his kids. I read a book just like that! it was really really good (naughts and crosses by malorie blackman for anyone who wants to read it), so i think it would be a good twist and all, but almost too big to be an actual twist, it would be more of the plot in itself, and it wouldnt really flow with the books too well i think!

I don't think that Hermione will be pregnant in the seventh book...she is a bit young !



MOD NOTE: Hi there Please drop by the forum rules. Your post is basically a one-liner, which are not permitted on the forums. Thanks

Whoa, good job for starting this topic...

I'm sorry to all you Harry/Hermione shippers, but if Hermione got pregnant... it would most definately be Ron.

I also think that J.K. Rowling would put this in to surprise us. Aren't there lots of teenage mothers out there?

true there are alot of teenage mothers out there, but, at least to me, that is one of americas largest issues. teenage pregnancy is an issue (once again, my opinion!), and i would really not be happy because what kind of example would that be setting? ok, ill stop now, not the time and place...

herm is aresponsible girl and i think that is way too imposible anyone who thought about it may have a way to far imagination i say its impossible unless herm and ron are already married........................................

Oh my goodness.So funny.I am still laughing.I was actually imagining how would it look like.ITS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.But an interesting topic.

Sorry if this post is a repeat just had to immediatly put this in. Ive been looking for a topic like this for awhile.

I was wondering about just their natural urges. They all raging with hormones and theirs got to be some time to let off some steam. Maybe not pregnacy but just teenage sex. 16 and 17 arent little kids any more. And in the sixth book in the train it looks like theres something sexual possibly going on between draco and pansy. I dont think the Hermione pregnant thing is possible but just pubescent stuff.

It just doesn't seem like Hermione to do such a thing...

but, like you said, responsible people can turn out quite irresponsible.

I was reading GoF, and we never knew exactly what she did with Krum, and she was very moody in that book. hmmm....quite a thing to ponder

Well, I have never really thought of it until I read this topic and then I had thoughts going through my head with different possibilities.

What Nyphadora said about Hermione being really moody in Goblet of Fire, it is possible she was pregnant and had a misscariage or abortion but at 14 here in Australia it is illegal to basically sleep with someone and do anything. And it is really illegal if the person is like 18 or something older.

Anyway, one of theories would work if Harry Potter wasn't a childrens book as well as adults.
If Hermione was doing work for Harry to locate a horcrux through studing, a Death Eater could have confunded her with a charm and taken advantage of her. This could play a part to the story but I know it won't happen because for JKR to put this in a book children read she will get heaps of hate mail and all that.

I love theories on this topic now! I want to read more theories!

OMG! I read a fanfic about this once! It was Ron, of course...

Hi, proudrhrshipper, and welcome to the forums! We're glad to have you here.

I'd like to as you to swing by the rules link in my signature so that you can become more familiar with the rules that will keep the mods and prefects from getting too upset with you. We like to maintain the highest quality HP forums on the web. One thing that helps us with that goal is prohibiting one-line posts, so, in the future makes sure you can elaborate a little bit more before replying to a thread.

If you have any questions feel free to PM me or any mod or prefect.

"Oh no, how awful! But it can never happen because my five year old brothers reads it!"

So the arrival of a baby has more of a negative effect than the dramatic murders of Cedric, Sirius and Dumbledore? With all the death and destruction that permeates these books, is pregnancy really such a harrowing prospect? True, I can't actually see it happening but if it did, I think the conception would be pretty discreet, not some drug-fuelled orgy.

The saga is all about growing up and love and sex is something that I think needs to be handled, albeit in a tasteful and responsible manner.

JK has stated that at the end of the book she'll explain what happens to all the characters, so it's highly probable that it will be something like 'Hr married -whoever- and had 3,4,5 w(ho knows how many) children.
