THEY SAID THAT IT WAS CUT BECAUSE OF THE TIME!

If you have not guessed yet, I have been avoid the movie hype for the most part, but this was too good to ignore:

Hey dementors_kizz and welcome to VTM!

If you could check out the rules, that would be awesome. One sentence posts aren't allowed on VTM, mainly because they don't add to discussion. Also, try not to use all caps on here. It's considered shouting on the net, which would be unecessary. If you have the time, feel free to check out Newbie Central to say hi.

Happy Trails!

..As well as this Nymphe:

Jon: And it is so weird now seeing that clip and you’re all little kids (new picture of Harry, Ron and Hermione looking scared at the Quidditch World Cup appears) There’s the photograph of you in the new movie – what are you doing to Hermione?!
Dan: I don’t know!
Jon: Well whatever it is she doesn’t like it!
Dan: I’m being very, very protective… I think. Or that’s the excuse I’m giving.

Excuse? Why would he need an excuse.. unless Harry's covering something up.. But I also found it interesting that Dan thinks it's R/Hr, but Jon keeps going on about H/Hr.. Ah well, I don't really know what to make of it.. What do you guys think?

-Dominique
PS: I wish they had the whole thing on video!

If you not English listen up Jonathan Ross tares A-list celebrities apart on his shows look at this:

Where did you get the H/Hr picture for your avatar, Dominique? It looks like a GoF thing but I don't remember seeing it in any of the promotions...






I've added another chapter to my fan fiction. I already did my Viktor/Ron/Hermione scene, but I didn't think to put Harry in as well. Viktor's arrival puts a rift between Ron/Hermione in my fan fic.

ok.... so many people think that h/hr is delusional......

but the point is, that's what we believe in.....

JKR said that we should read between the lines......
and we did......
and that's what we saw....
that HARRY and HERMIONE do belong together.....

is that a bad thing......?

of course not.......!

so i dont think that they dont have the right to say that we are delusional......

We read all the books..... and we saw the clues.....

ok.... what if they (h/hr) dont get together....???

so what.....???

it's not a bad thing...... we cant change it anyway.......

we will take it as a man....

But for us, H/Hr forever......

That's what we saw in the books....

even if they don't get together....

there's something in the books that tells that.....
HARRY AND HERMIONE belong together.......

and I will be loyal H/Hr shipper until I die....

Did any of you guys happen to catch Jonathan Ross on Friday? I don't know if you guys in Canada and the States might get it on one of the BBC world channels...but anyway, Jonathan made this big joke about Harry getting it on with Hermione. Dan cracked up and spouted the usual standard "JKR disclaimer" of "Ooh, didn't you see the anvil hints throughout the films?!" yadda, yadda, *yawn* yadda...but Jonathan, who is always extremely straight and to the point said something along the lines of, "Get out of here...who the heck wants to see Ron and Hermione?! It's not 'Ron Weasley and the Goblet of Fire' is it?! We don't care what happens to him, it's Harry we want to see get off with someone." Paraphrasing somewhat, but essentially, that's what he said and I thought to myself, you've got to love Jonathan Ross... Trust him to tell it like it is. I don't see JKR waving any "anvil" remarks to him - a grown man who read the books, watched the films and is quite clearly as "delusional" as the rest of us.

I think Dan went on to say something like "But what about Ron? Doesn't he deserve some happiness?" to which Jonathan said, "Who cares?" and then made a suggestion of something that I forget now, but it drew a huge laugh from the crowd anyway.

Oh, and the suggestion of H/Hr drew screams of support from the crowd, so it seems we aren't alone in our delusions, people...

Long may the chainsaws reign!!

Nah, I wish I'd caught it though.. I dunno if it would play in Canada.. I've seen a couple clips though, it looks so funny! Wish they would hurry up and put the whole thing up allready!
I have a question.. I'm not British.. and I don't really know what Jon means when he says this.. Help?

I don't really get the pod thing either. Then again, I haven't seen James Bond movies (you can shoot me now... ).

Anyway, I thought I'd spy on the neighbors by looking over our garden hedge (like Aunt Petunia) at our anti-thread, Venom:Harry/Hermione. If any of you get the chance, it would be nice to pop over there and read a bit, just to see what the "other side" has to say about our thread. May even have some conversation starters we can discuss here (as if we need them to begin with... ).

Ah... I forgot what else I wanted to say. I'll pop back in when I remember...

Addition: Oh, and interesting avatar, dementors_kizz.

Oh, he's just referring to the end of most Bond movies where Bond is usually in some clinch with the Bond girl - the pod is like an escape pod, you know...like in..erm...was it The Spy who Loved Me? Anywho, he usually ends up in an escape pod of some description and that's what Jon was on about.

Fancy never having seen a Bond film...honestly... You haven't lived unless you've seen a Bond film!!!

That's the conversation that led onto the Hermione/Ron thing, wasn't it? Dan was so hyper throughout that whole thing...if he wasn't 16 I'd reckon he'd had one too many glasses of the good stuff... They do serve *way* too much alcohol in that green room - Jim Carrey was out of his skull when he appeared on that show, it was hysterical!!

But I'm drifting off topic so I'm going to shut up now...

Never seen a Bond film? Yeah, just keep dating me, folks...LOL! Watching old movies is a must! Oh, if anyone can find the interview on the net, link me please...I need a laugh.

Back on topic. Methinks Ross understands the entertainment business better than most. If WB can make more money from the H/Hr interaction, then that is what they will do...end of discussion. Frankly, I do not care either way, but do not be surprised when you go see the movie that they play up the "love triangle" thing...it would be the safest route to go.

Remember this scene from PS/SS?

Oh, okay, thanks! I just didn't know what a pod was.. But I have seen Bond movies of course! My favorite Bond was Sean Connary.. And since I'm getting off topic.. lol

I've got to admit that I've never seen a Bond film in my seventeen-and-a-half years...I played hte video game once, but it sort of freaked me out.
I wonder, does it say if this Jonathon-person has read the books? If he's just seen the movies, he's obviously going to think it's H/Hr....sheesh, come the sixth movie, H/G and R/Hr are kjust going to blindside people who haven't read the books (combing through page after page of vitriolic arguments for that R/Hr love that was "anvil-sized")

Side note: Added the second half of Chapter Ten to my Year Seven fan fic...which concludes with a near miss (as in, Harry and Hermione...nearly...kiss).

Hm, I like James Bond. My dad always watches his movies when he has the chance, and I got bored with them after a while, but they're still pretty good.
The pics that I've seen of GoF mostly consist of Harry and Hermione looking like they're about to, or doing something affectinate towards each other. I think that directors love to toy with people's minds. First, Alfanso put the 'Hermione grabbing Ron's hand' scene in PoA, and later on, he showed that Harry and Hermione were holding hands while running through the Forbidden Forrest, and Harry holding Hermione in his arms. It's cruel, but funny nontheless. I think that GoF is gong to be a bit like that as well..

On November 18th, my school has a Trivia Night, and I'm on a team. Everyone in my team is a Harry Potter fanatic (me being the biggest of course [and they all know that]). So, all of them except me are going to the theaters to see GoF after Trivia Night has ended (it lasts about two hours). I'm mad, of course. I still haven't made it official that I can't go, but it's most likely that my mom would take me the next day. And I don't mind, but it's the way that the girls on my team act.. Like if they don't see GoF the day it comes out, it's going to suck..

Nice post Rhyzie. It's good to see people sticking to their guns and follwing what is plainly apparent to their eyes.

Never heard of J. Ross or seen his show unfortunately, but the interview excerpts sound priceless and I love his enthusiasm for our ship. Dan and Emma both insist that it's R/Hr. What can I say? Everyone's entitled to an opinion. But I do find it hilartious that both Dan and Emma have each had to 'correct' people and point them towards what they are supposed to be seeing.

So yes. We're certainly not alone.

That sounds like fun Hermione_Resilda! Aww Westerly.. You have to wait untill it comes out on DVD? Nah, just sneak into the movies, it's dark, you will be fine When do you think it will come out on DVD anyways?

By the way, I found a cute H/Hr I'd like to share
Title: Expectations
Author: CutieCrookshanks
Author Email: jpg777@earthlink.net
Summary: Poem - Harry's point-of-view on who he should love.

They expect me to fall in love
With some admiring fan,
The one with the longest hair,
The one with the darkest tan,
They expect me to only have eyes,
And not a heart of my own,
To see the physical beauty,
And only that alone.
I know this may surprise them
But I have chosen another,
In my eyes she is wonderful
A new beauty I have discovered
She may be extra smart
And have her hair a chestnut brown
But she is nothing like those fans
Who would rather wear me as a crown
But that is why I love her
I don’t care if others can’t see
But we were meant to be together,
Me and my Mione

I like it! lol
-Dominique

tanks........ cant wait to watch the movie here in the philippines.....

MOD EDIT: Hey there, welcome to the forums! Please review the rules, one liners aren't allowed, as they don't do much to promote dicussion. Try to elaborate a bit more. Thanks, Mason.

You guys complain that you can't wait until the movie comes out on the 18th...try living in korea and having to wait until December 16th to see it. Fun.

I'm not all that surprised that both Dan and Emma think it's R/Hr. It would have been nice if they read it the other way around, but their experiences have led them to believe in that "ship".

Of course, they could be driven it that way unconsciously as the two have worked together for years and are close. I think that Rupert being a bit more peripheral in terms of friendship makes it easier to "play" up romances for Emma. From experience, I've directed actors (and have been directed) in plays and found that those who are closer (platonically) have a harder time falling into their "roles" as a fictional couple. It's obviously a testament to their acting ability, naturally, as verterans in the field fall into these roles effortlessly. Those with pre-established bonds having to play something other (read "closer") than that have a hard time resolving the reality of their friendship versus their onstage romances.

Maybe that's why the two are pushing for R/Hr. Just food for thought.

I'd like to know what Rupert thinks. He's a bit shy so I wonder that he doesn't say anything to not upset the status quo. Heck, he might want to push for H/Hr so that he doesn't have to play the angst-filled love interest, hehe.

But Jonathan's interview reminds me of that MTV segment when PoA came out where both Emma and Dan were guest hosts. The main host (some tall guy...what's his name?) wanted to know if they'll be any Harry/Hermione action and the two seemed a little nervous. Everyone seems to see it and I wait anxiously for it to play on bigscreen.

Hey fellow H/Hr supporters!

I really can't wait till the movie on November 18, it's gonna be awesome!!!! It looks so H/Hr shippy that I think that I might just pass out and die at the movie theater! HHR's the best!!!!!!!!


-Mady_J_Potter-

In Philippines, HP 4 premieres at Nov. 16. It's good for me. I live in Philippines. I'm going to watch the movie ASAP! As in after school!

MOD EDIT : Your post is off-topic, mate. You can talk about GoF at the GoF forum here. This thread is for discussing the Harry/Hermione ship. Please be more careful next time.

Now is the perfect time for some of us to go back and re-read GoF, if you haven't already done so. Even though I read many passages where it is R/Hr, I couldn't help but see some H/Hr too. Just the fact that Ron alienated himself from Harry (because he believes that Harry placed his name in the goblet) has caused Hermione and Harry to be together more. Harry and Hermione are a lot closer in this book than in the previous ones. And, let's not forget the kiss she gives Harry at the end of the book! She certainly didn't kiss him out of pity. Yet, in the next book, it was promptly forgotten! JKR threw us this 'bone' at the end of GoF, but then took it away in OotP! Not nice! You can get bitten that way!

GoF a week from midnight! I can't wait. I have a question though, for those who have been watching the film come together for longer than I have...I know there are esome really lovely pictures of Harry and Hermione dancing together...did that make it in the movie or was it just some *fun* clip they decided to shoot and post on the web? I hope it makes it, because if it does, we Harmonians can use it to make some really great avatars

I reread GoF a few weeks ago. If anyone wants to discuss it from an H/Hr perspective, count me in!


Chapter Eleven is up...
http://www.veritaserum.com/forums/index.ph...=75#entry124448
... it commences with a Harry/Ginny break-up, which I must say was very therupeutic to write. You should all try it some time

All right! This is great. I just got my tickets for midnight, the 18th, and I'm re-reading the Goblet of Fire already. I'll be at both with a fine comb to pick up on hints we're given (probably not until I see the movie a second time, though). And I can't keep ignoring the final scene of book four. Anyone know if it is in the movie or not?

Dominique- I liked the poem. Very well written.

Dumbledore's Window- I agree. She (J.K.R.) just can't give us such a big detail at the end of book four and completely ignore it (er... mostly, until the Department of Mysteries) for the whole book. It's not nice to toy with our minds like that. And the movie looks like it supports the fact that Harry and Hermione share more personal time together than usual (in absence of Ron).

I am new to this thread and I love HArry and Hermione I am a bigger fan than all of you!!! lol JK

Ah, I finally made it on the right thread! *phew* Anyways.. if you guys haven't noticed the Video of Dan's 'Early Show' appearance? Yeah, that was pretty funny how another person thought it was Harry and Hermione.. we are not the only ones! Really we are not... 3 or 4 days left untill the movie for me? Yay.. Maybe even some cute avatarable () material!

Speaking of avatars.. did you guys see the avatar in my signature where Hermione squeezes Harry's hand? *sigh*

-Dominique

Curious point. Why does everyone seem to think it's Harry and Hermione? It really annoys me, in a way, that many other people seem to think along our lines but J. K. Rowling still denies us our desires. Do you think she'll cave in to the pressure? (yeah...right... ) It would be interesting, though, to see it that way.

Anyway, I can't say much else at the moment (because my whole day was ruined by an "outsider" comment poking fun at the "insider" joke of being dilusional and a rather pointed statement by J. K. R. that ruined all the fun I was having with Harry and Hermione to begin with... ).

I'll get back to things when I can forget about this and just enjoy the fun we have here...


Oops. Dominique, I like the avatar thing. Cool. What movie is it from?

Do you know where a large version of the picture in your avatar can be found, Dominique? I hate to bother you, but I absolutely love that scene

I saw the CBS interview too! Everyone who sees only the movies (and a few of us who read the books AND see the movies) will be completely blind-sided by HBP the Movie. Ginny? Who is this red-haired girl who Harry suddenly gets a monster for? (LOL, and that will be portrayed on screen...how? If it's all emotional, I mean!) Well, anyway, GoF is just around the corner now!

I had to add another page to Chapter Eleven that I accidentally forgot to post the first time. Please check it out of if you're pining for our ship.

It should be interesting to see how everyone reacts. Better yet, here's another idea. It's so farfetched, I can hardly believe it. Why don't they make the movies and the books... wait for it... separate. It would be so radical, and so unexpected, that no one would know what to think. And we could have it our way!

Hi. Sorry I'm posting again, but it's following a different flow now. I just want to thank all you guys for sticking with this ship, despite what anyone else says. I just (rather unwisely) to a trip through the archived threads and found the Harry/Hermione, Ron/Hermione debates and just got really depressed. In a way, it's over, but yet we somehow still keep the hope alive. I don't know. I better stop reading other threads so I can keep believing...

what's up! I'm a newbie here at this website. I'm a H/H Shipper all the way through and it will never change in anyway. 'end of the story, good bye, any questions?' LOL

I never knew there are this much H/Hr fans Now I am happy

MOD EDIT : One-liners are not allowed in the forums. You're going to have to elaborate more next time.

Hey All!!

Great Posts!

I am so excited for the movie!! DAY AFTER TOMORROW for the Midnight Show!! I already got our tickets!!! I Can't Wait!

I am really excited to see all the H/Hr moments in the movie!!

Oh it is SO FUN being Delusional!!!

The previews have been so PROMISING!

I am just glad that the directors, producers, screen writers etc ARE H/HR shippers (Obviously!!!) because a R/Hr shippy movie would just be TOO AWFUL right now! We all get to be tortured by seeing our ship flaunted all over the silver screen for all to see! (I can live with that!)

But I'm DELUSIONAL! (Cackling madly!)

Have you noticed that H/Hr shippers seem to be coming out of the woodwork??? So many interviewers are exposing themselves as H/Hr shippers. It is most excellent!

Thanks to all of you for being so WONDERFUL and Posting such GREAT STUFF for me to read!

H/Hr shippers RULE!

Delusional to the LAST!

Rupert and Emma have no chemistry, as far as I can see - while Dan and Emma's on-screen relationship sells. Bigtime. I keep wondering why JK Rowling lets all this H/Hr-ness slide in the films if that's not where she's taking the books...it makes me think LOVE TRIANGLE, truthfully. Is she trying to show (through the films, and, we would argue, through the books) the imminence of a Ron/Hermione relationship (Harry/Ginny just doesn't come up in the movies...LOL) but the optimal-ness of a Harry/Hermione one?


*** The next chapter of my Harry/Hermione Year Seven is up on my website. Entail a Harry/Ginny break-up, Harry/Hermione sort of kiss, visit to the Ministry of Magic and more. The link is in my sig. ***

Whoohoo the movie is comming soon! I won't be comming on Veritaserum for a while, because I don't want people who have seen the movie before me to ruin it! I'll be back on Sunday though.. So, utill then!

Oh and... *crosses fingers for squee-able H/Hr moments and doesn't at the same time*
-Dominique
Delusional to the LAST!

Hai,
I am a proud delutional. I am very much pleased to read all the posts here.I think that it is our ship which is going to sail in the end. In every debate or game we have to wait till the end to know who the winner is.So we have to wait until book 7. In fact HBP did not give any proof which is against our ship. Neither Ron nor Hermione conveyed their love to each other. Though Harry and Ginny came together, they parted in the end without any sorrow or pain.So the option for our ship is still open. There is something lying in between the lines which we cannot discover without the help of the author.So no doubt ,but have to wait to see our ship sailing happily.

Hi Lupin123, welcome to the forums! (If I might say this as a still very fresh VTM member... ) I just read the quote you have in your signature....
