Well, Harry’s the hero, I suppose, but obviously not for Hermione. (Emma Watson)
Well, I’m glad she said that, but she also said in 2014 that (and I’m paraphrasing at best here) ‘I don’t think Ron would be able to make Hermione happy’. Which is it, Emma? Are you with the Romione ship or not?
She might feel as I do that Hermione is the one for Ron. He loves her, and she makes him exceptionally happy. But as it turns out, Ron can’t keep up with her brains, won’t challenge her constructively and takes out his own fallings on her. He’s not right for her, and she may love him, may be in love with her even. But he can’t make her happy.
That’s not what I meant. Emma Watson seems to have taken to heart the “Ron isn’t good enough for Hermione” rubbish that Steve Kloves (the screen-writer) put into the films. And it seems like she wasn’t the only one, judging by the comments in your reblog.
For the last time; just because Ron doesn’t have the same sort of intelligence as Hermione, that doesn’t mean that he can’t make her happy. If that was the case, then she wouldn’t have been friends with him for seven years before they became a couple.
Also, I hate to ram this point home, but Hermione herself doesn’t care that herself and Ron are different people; ‘books and cleverness? There are more important things; bravery and friendship’. She honestly loves Ron for who he is, and couldn’t care less about the apparent differences between their personalities.
Speaking of which, Ron has never held Hermione’s intelligence against her. He finds it admirable, brilliant, and it’s of the things that he finds so attractive about her. Throughout the books, he repeatedly shown to admire her intelligence, and has never considered it a barrier between the two of them.
Won’t challenge her constructively? I’m guessing you’re missing the multiple times in the books that he does exactly that. Most of their bickering comes from the fact that he doesn’t simply take her word as fact (unlike the people around them) ; from her problematic attitudes towards House-Elves (correctly pointing out that she was trying to free house-elves without their permission) to her dislike of the Half-Blood Prince (due to her potions results being second-best for the first time ever). Ron doesn’t automatically assume that Hermione is right about everything, and calls her out when she’s incorrect about things.
Takes out his own failings on her? Got any evidence of that? Because I certainly can’t remember any. Ron never holds his own personal errors against Hermione; at most, he gets irritated at her occasionally because she can come across as patronising.
How is he not right for her? Throughout the books, it’s constantly shown that Ron compliments Hermione in every way; he’s the calm to her intensity, the ying to her yang, etc. He GENUINELY makes her happy, and she makes him happy. He is the perfect one for her, and vice versa. Hermione loves him, and that should be the final word on the matter.
Hermione decided who was right for her, and she chose Ron. If Hermione didn’t think Ron could make her happy, she wouldn’t have pursued a romantic relationship with him.
