Ron has one ex, but I don't think Hermione has any. It's true from Book 6 that Viktor gave Hermione her first kiss, but Krum was never Hermione's boyfriend. He was her one-time date at Yule Ball. Afterwards, Hermione ignored him and paid more attention to Ron.

Muggy, that's true that Ron and Hermione have pretty much delvoped their relation to the point of common dating, but there's also the physical. I'm not saying that they should jump into bed, but I just want some kissing. They've never expressed their feelings in an out ward way, like kissing or hand holding, doing the things couples do at the beginning of their relationships.
I think that Hermione never stated that Krum was her boyfriend to anyone, but it was asumed on Krum's side, because of the way he felt for her.
I really hope book 7 is told from differnt views. I think that it would really fill the world of HP out. Not just in hopes of some R/Hr, but to see the DEs and stuff. That would be cool.

[quote]He was her one-time date at Yule Ball. Afterwards, Hermione ignored him and paid more attention to Ron

This wasnt true. in ootp, hermione was writing a letter if you would think back. The letter was to Krum, and it was quite long. Ron had gone berserk when hermione told him that she was writing ot Krum as a pen pal. he tells her that Krum wanted her to be more than a pen pal. just peruse through the ootp book, and get back to me on your thoughts.

Based on Amyrat151's posting, I wonder whether R/Hr romance follows an old-fashioned way (no touching until exchanging rings) or mature way ("physical in public is childish" thought). What do you think, Ellen?

Prince_halfblood_22, thanks for reminding. I still remember the part, but I don't think it's in the context of Viktor being Hermione's boyfriend. The letter in book 5 is for Viktor as Hermione's pen-pal. In Book 4, Hermione ignored Viktor's advances to be his girlfriend, and paid attention to Ron, instead. At the end of Book 4, Hermione had the choice to spend the summer with Viktor or with Ron. From the start of Book 5, we know she chose Ron.

Well, since Ron and Hermione didn't get together at the end of book 6, they wouldn't of kissed yet, execpt when Hermione kissed Ron as a good luck kiss. But now that they are together, I think that there will be touching, just no naughty touching. As for the public stuff, I think quick kisses of hello or good bye and hand holding will be there.

That's possible. Ron most likely will follow Percy's style of dating. Ron cannot stand Bill and Fleur's style, especially because he is affected so much by Fleur's charm. Percy and Penelope followed discreet manner of dating, kissing in an empty classroom. That's more suitable for Ron and Hermione as well. But then, how can we see they are kissing?

Well as I've said before, I think that mulitple point of views would solve that problem. But at the wedding I think that Ron or Hermione will take the either aside a little to kiss the other, and Harry could be near the place where it happens completely on accident. Like he was aleady there, brooding about his crappy life.

That is a good possibility. At the wedding party, Harry tries his best not to look at Ginny, while he has to get away from Gabrielle's advances. He looks around to find Ron and Hermione, who mysteriously vanish from the dining hall. He leaves the hall to find them. He sees them locking lips in the garden behind the bushes.

well, when ron toldhermione that he loves her in hbp i don't think he was justsaying that i thought he ment it and he really loves her or maybe it could be a foreshadow to a r/hr relationship in book 7.

In fact, I think he already passed meaning it. You know, when one falls in love, the sentence "I love you" is often spoken, but later when the love is deeper, words are not important, because the actions are more dominant. Hermione understands Ron loves her not because of his words, but because of his actions. That's why she only blushes a bit. She likes to hear it, but she knows that she shouldn't be happy for the words. She is happy because Ron shows how he loves her through actions.

I agree with MIKOH that it could possibly be foreshadowing, although a rather obvious display of it. And also I agree with muggleview. Ron and Hermione have hinted at each other since the seconed year of their crush, or what now is a love for each other and I think both of them know it but they are both too shy to say it. We know Ron would probably not perk up the courage and tell her [ although never say never! ] and also I think Hermione hides alot of her feelings when it comes to this. She was very secretive about Krum, although she probably fancied Ron then too, but I think that is a display of not showing her feelings in this aspect. I also think that after holding in those kinds of feelings for that long is not going to go over well, shes lasted pretty darn good so far but I think that she will pull a Ginny on this one and just come out of nowhere and kiss him ...or at least Im hoping.

For Hermione, I don't think the problem is shyness. Hermione has been lonely for most of her childhood. First, she has a power nobody in her family has. Second, she could be an odd child in her elementary school. Third, she finds her world in books, especially witchcraft books. She is not someone very social. In 6 years at Hogwarts, her friends are two males: Ron and Harry, plus one female: Ginny. She was isolated early on (perhaps since her elementary) as "know-it-all". That label doesn't earn her many friends. The first person dared to confront her (by telling her "know-it-all" for twice as many as the others) is Ron. We start to count again:
First, she was annoyed, mostly because she regarded Ron as inferior academically to her. Second, nonetheless she was subconsciously attracted to him and somehow ended up befriended him. Third, she started to know Ron better and found the hidden jewels in him; her respect to Ron notably grew from book to book. Fourth, she started to feel differently to him.
Fifth, this is annoyed her again, because she suddenly felt unsecure. Sixth, Hermione's pride prevents her for being open to Ron, for fear of rejection (and get laughed at by Ron). Seventh, she has to dethrone her ego to admit she couldn't live without him.
So it's a long journey for Hermione to be with Ron.

Or Muggy I was thinking Harry was off alone by himself first and Ron and Hermione happen to go the same place where he was on accident. A rather embarassing situation for Harry, but I think that he would stay hidden and out of site, letting us hear everthing they say, and Harry resepecting them enough not to come in at their moment. And all togehter its been a long road for them to get together.

The more embarrassing situation when Harry finds out somebody else also hears R/Hr romantic moments and that person is Ginny. Harry and Ginny ... (oops, it is for another thread).

Anyway, Ron and Hermione will not readily to show their affection in public. If Hermione became Head Girl in Year 7, it will be more awkward for her to kiss Ron in the dining hall.

Lol, I think it would be uncomfortable for Hermione to kiss Ron in public anyway, they are both shy about their relationship I think. They will only kiss in private, and hopefully get caught by Harry ,and then when they get more into it they could just kiss anyway, but it could distract us away from the plot.

Not if it gives Harry a good idea how to beat Voldemort: distracting the Dark Lord. Ron and Hermione will kiss as Voldemort appears. Voldemort is distracted. Harry finishes the Dark Lord off. The end.
Seriously, don't you think that's what Ron and Hermione did in book 6 when Ron suddenly went to the restroom to "throw up" and Hermione suddenly needed to see a teacher, just before the game started?

P.S.
Post #666? I got to check what it means.

LOL Muggy! Yes we R/Hr shipper come from Hell were the worst demons imanginable crawl around souls of ex Dentists.
But I think that those were very lame excesses to get Harry alone, doesn't he then discover something imporant, I forget. But it was imporant that Harry was alone, and JK could of had the situation differnt, Harry could of been on his own in the first place, but no. Ron and Hermione run off with "I need to see a teacher."
As for kissing in public I think they might quick kiss hello and good bye sometimes, but that's it.

Well, that's indeed more likely. Suddenly, Harry sees more pecks before certain important tasks. He curiously asks Ron, what's that for? are you two...?, Ron grins, yeah, it's Hermione's ritual.
I wouldn't resist.

Will that be it? In my heart, I want more!

P.S.:
I got it! Post #666 means I gave the 665th reply to the 1st post.

I don't want Harry to discover their love like that... And I don't think that Ron and Hermione want Harry to discover it that way... It would be lame!!! ''Hi Ron'' Hermione kiss Ron... Harry: ''Hum... what's going on?'' It would be so disapointed... I think that Harry is going to see the moment! I don't know... it's just what I think... It's my feeling! I hope so because if Ron and Hermione tells him at the great hall (exemple) in front of all these people ''Hey Harry, Guess what! We're Together!'' Heu... no! It better be great! I think it's gonna be!

Ok, let's list what's to show for Ron and Hermione
- lip-locking kiss
- sweet wording exchange
- walking hand-in-hand
and more?

What's been shown so far:
- full hug (and broke down crying), twice
- peck on the cheek
- holding hands
- "I love you"
- locking gaze
- speaking on each other's behalf

What else?

I hope to see Ron and Hermione playing around and laughing together.
It's weekend. Have a good one!

Of course Ron and Hermione are the perfect couple! They show it by jealousy and by always bickering like a married couple. I think they are perfect, I wish I could have a relationship like them. I agree with Muggleview, they need to show some action soon! Its killing me!

Yes Muggy, I am wanting some of that stuff that's been listed. I can't wait for the 5th movie/ 7th book, I want to be here now. 9 months is such a long time ::sigh::
I think that when they're at the Dursley's Harry "finding out" might happen there. I sorta picture him turning to Ron when the two of them are alone and him asking "So, how long have you and Hermione been together." Harry just throwing it out there, knowing what's going on.

That's a good possibility. Harry has a bit more than one month from the end of Book 6 to the time he celebrates his 17th birthday. Now it's depending on when the wedding will be held. If it's still a few weeks away, Harry must go back to the Dursleys, when he can enjoy the best protection. Then, a few days before the wedding, he will be taken to the Burrow. There will be a good chance of a June Wedding, meaning Harry will go to the Burrow first, then do to the Dursley until end of July. During the stay in the Burrow, Harry may notice signficant changes in Ron and Hermione, but it is overshadowed by the wedding and Harry's problem with Ginny.
Next, when Ron and Hermione accompany him to the Dursleys, Harry will notice more.
Ron and Hermione may regard the trip to Privet Drive a preparation for a Honeymoon!

I don't think so Muggs, (thought I'd try out that nick name instead) I think that the time they (woah, 5 t words) spend at the Dursleys with Harry will be used doing research and other things that will help the three of them not die on their little quest.

Actually I think Ron and Hermione will stay with Mrs. Figgs. I don't think Ron wants to stay at the Dursleys or with Mundungus Fletcher. It's true that the priority is research. I fear that the Death Eaters will attack the Dursleys just after the midnight past July 31, although it seems too far-fetched if they come en-masse for a 17-year old boy.
What I am looking forward to is how Ron will adjust to Muggle world. Hermione will smile ear to ear to see Ron doing his best not to complain.

Well I think that they'll all be together, Ron with Harry, Hermione in the guest room for obvious reasons. I just don't think that Ron and Hermione, knowing what they know about the Dursleys would let Harry suffer their alone. The whole point of them going with him to show him that he'll never be alone.
But Muggs (do you like or hate that?) it's ok because we'll get a view of their first kiss, Jo so owes us for having us wait this long, to show the sweeter side of the R/Hr that so many seem to not see.

After we missed Hermione's first kiss with Viktor, Jo'd better show us her first kiss with Ron!
Seldom heard that before, but it's fine to call me Muggs.
Do you think Ron and Hermione will be permitted to stay at Dursleys?
I doubt Uncle Vernon is keen to have Harry's friends sleep over, let alone two of them.
It's more reasonable to arrange with the Order to get accommodation at Mrs. Figgs, isn't it?

No, not by the Dursleys, but I think Veron is pretty scared of wizards swooping in and attacking him and his family if they treat Harry badly. Oh course that's a bit silly, but fear is a powerful emotion.
Muggs, ok.

It's still possible to let Ron and Hermione staying with the Dursleys, with the help of at least two persons: Mr. Weasley's request to the Dursleys (Uncle Vernon may not forget how Mr. Weasley healed his son's tongue) and Aunt Petunia's approval. I think Book 7 will include the answer why Aunt Petunia changed her behaviour after receiving Dumbledore's letter and that can lead to her willingness to do anything to protect Harry. I assume she still regards Harry as her nephew of her own blood, so she can still show a bit of kindness. She will arrange a room for Hermione and allow Ron and Harry to share one. Is it logical?

I would like to see Ron and Hermione at the Dursley!!! Look at Mr. Dursley's face every time he saw them!!! See how Ron reacted at the muggle world!!! But I would also like to see the two of them at Mrs Figg... OH!!! I just had an idea!!!

Imagine Harry is at the Dursley and like every morning he go to Mrs Figg to see Ron and Hermione. Mrs Figg tells him that they are at the second floor. He go upstairs and ear voices... Just to listen at what they are saying he walk silently and try to listen carefully at Ron and Hermione's conversation. ''Hermione, I have to tell you something for a long long time... I... love... you'' ''Ron... I love you... so much! (she start to cry (I really imagine Hermione crying I don't know why )) but... We have to make priorities... with the hocruxes and...'' Ron kiss her! And everybody is happy for them! Harry not to ''break'' this moment go downstair and drink a cup of tea with Mrs Figg... Ten minutes later Ron and Hermione go downstair and are surprised to see Harry there. Ron said: ''How long have you been there?'' ''Enough time'' said Harry with a smile.

I never thought that Ron and Hermione would go to the durleseys. But I suppose Its a possibility. Was it mentioned in the books? I guess I thought that Hermione would go and stay at the burrow before even Harry got there. Hmmm... who knows what could happen? hehe..

But I really like the idea of them staying with mrs figg. Ron would have no family around... and they could have a much awaited discussion, I'm sure Mrs. Figg would let them be anyways.

And Romana, I think you need to write a fanfic with that little piece

Muggs, I think it's locigal because the Dursley's do have a guest bedroom. And I can't wait to find out about as well Aunt Petunia. She's very interesting.
Romana, that sounds a bit to...I dunno. But I can't really come up with anything much better, so ::shurg::
harryp4me, Ron did say at the end of HBP that he (with Hermione implied) would go with him to the Dursleys. And Ron has family there, because Harry is family.

Romana, what a great story! I can't wait your fanfic.
As Ellen said, at the end of Book 6 Ron said that "we" (Ron and Hermione) will follow Harry wherever he goes. Come to think about it, I believe it will also be the interest of the Order of the Phoenix to protect Harry. Dumbledore has explained that Aunt Petunia's protection can last until the next July 31, when Harry turns 17 and considered adult in the wizarding world. Since Ron and Hermione (cleverly planned by Jo Rowling) are already of age, they can become the new members of the Order and be sent out to accompany and protect Harry. With Dumbledore gone, the Order will not have enough people just to guard Harry, so they will send the newest members to do it. Hermione's parents will only notice that Hermione is more determined than ever to stay longer and longer with the Weasleys (or to be precise, with Ron). She always writes to them anyway. Ron will be equipped by the Twins with interesting weapons, to repay their mistakes in selling "good stuff" to Draco and his gangs. Both Ron and Hermione will now be free to go wherever Harry goes, and of course, while nurturing their own budding romance, now that they got the world's blessing.

WE LOVE HERMIONE AND RON! It's like soooo obvious!

MOD EDIT: Please go have a look at the rules. One line postsare not allowed and comments like this do not inspire much discussion. Expand on your thoughts next time. Oh and please refrain from typing on all caps. It is considered shouting.

I hope that Jo doesn't make us wait to long like having Ron and Hermione's first kiss at the very last second at the end of the book.

Thinking about that makes me want to skip to the end of the book and read that part first so I can relax, but I think that wouldn't be fair.

But it just has to happen.

Welcome Hermione_Weasley1826, I doubt that JK will have their first kiss at the way end of the book, it just seems to unfair to tease us like that. But it is certain that it will happen.
Muggs, I don't think the Order needs to send Ron and Hermione anywhere, they would go with him "no matter what happens." And in any case, I think Harry will head the Order because if you think about it, they have no direction. DD knew how to end Voldermort and didn't tell anyone but Harry. Unless Harry tells someone, which he promised he wouldn't, he needs to head the Order.
Speaking of Hermione's parents, if Mrs. and Mr. Weasley are anything like their daughter, they probally read the newspaper to find out what's going on in their daughter's world. Or they have a systerm with other parents of wizarding childern to find out information that way. But they'll find out about the war either way. I think that they'll want to pull Hermione out of school, and put her in a Muggle one instead. Oh course Hermione will protest, and go with her two boys anyway, I think this will result in a big fight, and a temporay falling out with her parents.

The first kiss at the last part of the last book? That's a bit cruel, isn't it?
I would bet Ron and Hermione kissed in Book 6 right before Harry found Hermione to be constantly smiling for "a beautiful day". We would know it in Book 7 for a retell.
Despite what DD said about Harry, I don't think Harry will head the Order yet. There are businesses that the Order does, just like in a real war, with spying and battling. I believe the Order has established the seniority rank so there is an order of succession of leadership. It is to be expected in a wartime organization. At Hogwarts, Prof McGonagall immediately assumed the position of Headmistress so that there is no void in leadership. We have to see who will lead the Order next.
As for Mr. & Mrs. Granger reading wizard newspaper, I doubt it happens. If they do, they would have pulled out Hermione earlier, just like how the parents pulled out the students in Book 2! They didn't know that Hermione was petrified, or that Mr. Weasley was attacked. Hermione came to visit him using the reason of spending Christmas with the Weasleys (?) in book 5. (This scene convinced me that the Grangers already hand over the care of Hermione to the Weasleys) I think Hermione deliberately covered up bad things from her parents. She might have reasoned that her parents wouldn't understand all the magical happenings anyway. Besides, she always came home unscatched. Book 6 is different. I wonder what Hermione would tell them: to pick her up at King's Station a few weeks earlier than usual, because the Headmaster was killed at school?
Will they still let Hermione to go with Ron and Harry?

I think that they did know that she was petrified, would Dumbledore honestly not tell them, think about Muggs. But she had to stay there because it was the only way for her to get better. And the Daily Prophet didn't report the attacks, remember? So the Grangers wouldn't know anything bad was happening till they got their letter from Dumbledore.
It's true that the Order has their jobs to do, but again, their ulimate goal was to stop Voldermort. They don't know now to reach that long term goal, without goals organtizations die.
But we're kind of straying from the topic. R/Hr forever!

i agree with muggleview, JK Rowling uses a lot of subtext and they last sentence was "Harry still had on last golden-day of peace to enjoy with Ron and Hermione." or whatever. WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPEND :-) But I don't think they kissed when hermione said it was a beautiful day. once ron and hermione start kissing, i don't think they will stop. haha. So I really doubt that she will wait that long for their first kiss. Look at how far they got in HBP. They are now developing a romantic relationship after friendship, acceptance of feelings, etc. etc. Also, that would draw attention away from the climax. I expect it to be in beginning, at Bill and Fleurs wedding where they will AT LEAST share a dance.They kinda made a promise. Hermione said next time there's a ball pack up the courage to ask me before someone else does, and not as a last resort. so a wedding kinda sorta counts.

i do think hermione hides a lot of things from her parents too. will she not tell them about her and ron??

I heard at Mugglenet that Hermoine's parents might try to keep her home, so she runs away with Ron. As much as that is romantic (tee hee) I doubt it. But you never know what tricks Jo has up her fabulous sleeves.

Remember, according to JK, she has everything in her series plotted ahead of time, so when she was writing the first book she knew what would happen in the seventh. So I guess we just have to wait. Steady as she goes...

JK, you owe us big time for waiting!!

Ellen, I doubt that Dumbledore wrote a letter to the Grangers regarding Hermione's petrification. Hermione was not in mortal danger. Her condition is treatable. The herbology professor happened to grow that little screaming plants exactly required for the cure of Petrification. Until this effort failed, I doubt that Dumbledore would write the letter.
I think Dumbledore seriously intended to write general letters to all parents after Ginny's abduction to the Chamber. That was "probably the worst day in Harry's life".
However, Harry and Ron solved the case before the letters were sent out.
The fact is the Grangers didn't seem to realise the gravity of danger in the wizarding world.
Hermione seemed to shield the news from them. Do you think a parent would allow her daughter facing magical dangers at Hogwarts after reading all Harry Potter's books?

Harryp4me, I support you ideas. Together with MistressofMagic, I want to say to Jo Rowling to give us some beautiful moments on R/Hr. She owes us those moments!

Do the Grangers know about R/Hr? I believe so.
Back to the beginning of Book 2, the Grangers made appointment with Ron and his family to meet at the Diagon Alley. Of course the first question they would ask Hermione: with whom?
The answer was Ron. Then, they met the Weasleys and apparently impressed by the hospitality of the Weasleys. Both sides respect their different cultures and can get along nicely. Meanwhile, they would know that there was another boy, Harry, who came along.
Come to the end of the book 2, Harry left first, while Ron and Hermione stayed behind.
We don't see how they parted, but the Grangers only see how Ron and his family stayed longer with Hermione and them. Whoever Harry is, he doesn't put to much emphasis on Hermione.
In Book 3, Hermione again had an appointment with Ron. Meanwhile, Harry's wherebout was unknown to people, except the Ministry of Magic. The Grangers happily allowed Hermione to stay one night at Diagon Alley with the Weasleys. What do you think the Granger would think? Of course, they started to assume R/Hr.
In the beginning of Book 4, Hermione got invitation to see Quidditch World Cup and would stay for several days with the Weasleys. By now, would the Grangers not know about R/Hr? As much as the readers already saw in Book 3 and Movie 3, by now Hermione may not be able to hide her feeling to Ron in front of her parents. Sleeping over for several days? Hermione must have done anything reasonable to let her parents know that she would very much like to do that, instead of going anywhere else with them.
The end of Book 4 and 5 all showed that Harry quickly left with the Dursleys. Ron and Hermione stayed behind, as their parents might exchange greetings. We don't see what they do, but the Grangers didn't object Hermione staying for the whole holiday with Ron in the start of book 5. Beginning of book 6 showed Hermione again came a few days earlier than Harry at Ron's.
Conclusion: the Granger not only knows about R/Hr, they also are ardent supporters of it.

Muggs, I think that the Grangers know about only some danger. I think that Dumbledore wrote a letter, like I said and then another one latter saying that she was fine and the danger had pasted. In PoA they knew that Sirius Black was a criminal, but didn't know he was after Harry. And I think that as the years have gone on she's told them less and less. But I think that she will come clean to them because they deserve to know about their little girl's scary quest. And it will follow in a big fight like I suggested.
As for her relationship with Ron and what the Grangers know, she could of told her Mom in between 3rd and 4th year her feelings for Ron. And I agree with Muggs, that they seem in favor of it.

I agree with you Ellen and Muggs. I am sure that Hermione hasn't told her parents everything. But I think she will come clean with them. Also I am sure that the Grangers like Ron because the Grangers like Arthur and Molly we know that they don't hate them. So that is a good thing.

I know this is off topic but, I am so happy we finally have some promotional pictures! The picture of the trio is awesome also the picture of Dumbledores Army is kick butt too.

Normally a boarding school sends regular newsletters to parents about the development in school and also the progress of each child, so possibly Dumbledore have written letters to the Grangers. On the other hand, There is no mentioning about the letters to the Dursleys. Aunt Petunia seemed not to know anything dangerous happened to Harry. Either the letters were not opened or Dumbledore never wrote any letters to them since "remember my last". Most likely the letters are signed by Prof McGonagall.
In any case, the permission to stay the whole summer holiday with Ron in Book 5 is a bit out-of-place for parents with only one daughter like Hermione. They may have gotten a promise that Hermione would go skiing with them at Christmas, but again Hermione decided not to go with them, in exchange of visiting Ron and the attacked Mr. Weasley. Still, at the end of Book 5 they faithfully picked her up at King's Station, watching Ron and Hermione saying goodbye to their friend, Harry, and then, saying goodbye to each other, which the readers cannot see.
I am sure anyone present there could have picked up the vibration between them.
I wonder what the Grangers thought about Hermione suddenly being home for Christmas in Book 6. From Harry's POV, she didn't write much to him either. Just after she turned 17, the parents had to witness Hermione having heartbreak in Cold Christmas.

Well, I'm sure her Mum helped Hermione feel better. And she could write her parents for all we know, letters filled with half truths of the danger she's in because she's Harry's friend.
I don't think there's a newsletters either, but I think that Dumbledore sent them a letter in CoS. As well as to the parents of the other students who were in the same state.
And Becky, yes, the pictures really are awsome.

If Hermione tried to hide dangers, it means she told them less about Harry as well. Most likely she just told them what she and Ron have done during their Prefect Duties. That's something they can understand and be proud of. She might have played down the Petrification incident, pointing out that the school has the cure at hand and that she was completely healed after that. I doubt she mentioned anything about DoM raid. Hermione was completely cured after staying for weeks side-by-side with Ron at the hospital wing.
Yeah, the pictures are great, hope to see more!

Well wasn't that in the paper? The DoM raid with their names? But I agree that Hermione most likely hid that from her partents, and as I've already said, will tell them about it all and what's she's going to do.
I remember reading this fic when Dumbledore told them that Sirius was dead, in the hospital wing, very sad, I cryed.

Yeah, that's sad. Harry was robbed from the people he relies on, one by one from book 5 and book 6. That's why the bond with Ron and Hermione will be his strength. Ron and Hermione as one unit can give Harry the support he needs, just like one adult can do: wise advices and cheerful wits.
I read that the Movie 5 will water down the Prefect Badge Incident. Ron and Hermione will receive the badges on the train and there will be no case of mistaken identity. Harry's jealousy maybe.

Yeah, maybe. I agree that it will be watered down a great deal, because it's a character thing, not plot. The character bits have to be taken out to make room for plot.
And also Harry need both on the Horcrus hunt. Someone who will follow his orders with out question, Ron, and someone who will question each one, Hermione.
It's a bit sad that they're finally together in the mist of all this. But sweet moments between them will give much needed relief.

Is it proper if I wish BBC to make a TV series on Harry Potter? Or maybe a series only about Ron and Hermione?
Anyway, the movie is about Harry. Just as we saw in GOF, so many scenes to choose, the producer only focused on Harry, because it's a Harry Potter film. Ron and Hermione are the sidekicks, so their storyline is included when time permits. I hope we will see how Ron and Hermione actually sitting together whispering about Harry, who sits a bit far from them. Hope the scene will be more lively than the book (written from Harry's unromantic POV).
