It is sad that the Harry Potter movies turned Hermione into a perfect, blameless creature when in reality she constantly nagged people, couldn’t handle not being the best at everything and gave Ron as much shit as Ron gave her. This is what makes her so great as a character. I hate that they left it out.
It makes me sad that the movies turned Snape into a smooth, handsome man who was wrong done by everybody and was entirely blameless when in reality he was a greasy haired, unattractive, twitchy, incredibly nasty man who brought all of his own misfortune on himself and had to work to redeem himself. This is what makes him so interesting as a character.
It makes me sad that the movies turned Ron Weasley into a piece of shit, and Ginny into a complete nonentity when in reality he wasn’t, and neither was she.
I headcanon that years down the road, Viktor, and Ron came together over an event or dinner, and Ron finally told Krum about how he felt when they were teenagers. They had a laugh about it, shook hands, Krum told Ron that believe it or not, Hermione’s letters was usually always filled with things about him, and they became friends. Krum always had Quidditch tickets for Ron and the kids (and Hermione whenever she wants to) whenever he wanted to see him play. And Ron would give Krum and his children discounts on Weasley Wizard Wheezes merchandise.
Mine lol
I like the idea that Ron and Krum eventually got along. I hate it when fics just use Krum as a plot device to get Ron jealous (which is ironic, considering that’s the character’s narrative function in the series).
Krum is an asshole who has a thing for 15 year old girls. At 18 he goes after a 15 year old Hermione and tells her things like “I never felt this way about anyone before” and inviting her to visit him after knowing her for what? Three months? THEN at 21 he sets his sights on a 15 year old Ginny getting all pissed off when told she has a boyfriend and spewing crap like “What’s the point of being famous if you can’t get the pretty girls,” get the fuck out of here with your entitled bullshit.
I find Krum incredibly creepy and unsettling, you’re really going to pull a 14 year old boy into the woods and confront him over if he had a thing with the girl you’re trying to groom? Really? No, just no.
Vicky and Ron could’ve had such a great friendship but that aspect of his character makes it impossible for me to like him or his possible friendship with Ron.
On second thoughts, I don’t like the idea of him and Ron getting along. Forget I said anything. Ew.
Thank you for asking! It’s been surprisingly quiet so far. I’ve had a few days off work, and I haven’t had much to do except housework and writing. Which is quite a novelty for me, as I spent most of the summer and early autumn being exceptionally busy all the time.
Since I’ve had so much time off, I’ve been able to get two different fanfictions sorted. One was something I had on the back-burner for ages (a out-take chapter for my ‘A Certain Romance’ Luna x Harry series, and which I published earlier this evening on FFN- link here, by the way), and the other is something that was requested by a fellow blogger a while back (which I hope to publish sometime soon).
Thanks for the question, anon! Hope you’re having a great week! 🙂
I find it interesting that, in some parts of the HP fandom, critiquing Hermione Granger’s bad decisions is considered ‘hating’ on the character.

Hello!!! I have a lot of feelings about movie!Hermione. This gonna be long and all over the place, so buckle up!
Movie!Hermione didn’t bother me a lot when I was young, she was kind of my favorite character. But as I grew older and I re watched the movies, I started to feel annoyed with her and Ron started to become my fav. After the third movie, she started to get so boring, and I don’t have anything against Emma but her acting started to get really bad, is it written in the script for her to always glare at everyone??? What I saw is all glaring and frowning (this might be me being extra)
My hatred for movie!Hermione grew when I read the books. I think I started reading them when I was 12/13. Listen because how different the books where, I used to think I was reading a fanfictionrjfioejtgiortg. The sixth book felt like a angsty romione fic, I remember going to sleep smiling thinking about the scene when Ron and Hermione started to get extra polite towards each other after Hermione kind of asked him to go with her to the party. Reading the books were a sexy ass experience!!!
Book!Hermione is fun to read, She got me mad, annoyed, soft and sad. I felt a lot of things while reading the parts she’s in. She was interesting, her flaws were interesting. I LOVE HER FLAWS, IT MAKES HER A HUMAN. ALSO JUST THINK ABOUT THE ANGST THAT COMES WITH HER REALIZING ALL THE FUCKED UP SHIT SHE USED TO DO.
Give me Hermione learning to be gentler on people and more open minded. Give me me Hermione after her and Ron started dating, she holds his hand and notice the faint scars (if they were still there) from the birds she sent after him in their sixth year and then she realizes how shitty she treated him so she apologize to him for the first time. (someone write me a fic about this plz)
Movie!Hermione was so perfect and so boring. It’s just so annoying to think about how she got all the good traits from different characters. Hermione doesn’t understand harry as much as Ron does. Where are all the scenes where Ron shuts Hermione because he knows that the last thing Harry wants is her to lecture him??? Why Hermione suddenly is Harry’s therapists in the movies?? Yates and Kloves being up Hermione’s/Emma’s ass really ruined the movies.
Anyways I got so carried away, right now if I watched the movies, all you gonna hear is me ranting about how Movie!Hermione isn’t the same as Book!Hermione. And how Ron and Ginny got fucked over by the movies just for Hermione sake.
When I see Movie!Hermione, I see the person that stole Ron’s lines and good traits, so you can say I hate her and I can’t watch her without making a snarky comment about her.

You probably have a lot on your plates (I know Vivi does), but *puppy dog eyes*
I agree with all of this! Book!Hermione is so much more interesting as a character than film!Hermione is!
As for the fic, I’ll put it on the list. It might only end up being a drabble, but I’ll get it sorted. I’ll tag both of you (@ronandhappiness and @slowburnotptrash) in on the post when I publish it.
Don’t know if it’s was said by someone. But. Everyone is complaining about famous Dumbledore scene in goblet of fire; but I always hated fat shaming scene, when Ron was laughing at overweight girl. Horrible moment.
(picture is unrelated)
Ron never actually laughed at Eloise Midgen (who wasn’t overweight but had bad acne, by the way). Granted, not Ron’s best moment, but it was actually in the books (unlike the ‘calmly’ thing, which was film-only). There’s actually quite a contrast between pre-GOF Ron and post-GOF Ron; I’d personally chalk that up to Rowling assuming all teenage boys are just image-obsessed douchebags (which, to be fair, has some basis in reality).
Sorry, I meant that he didn’t laugh at her in the books. It’s been so long since I last watched GOF (my least favourite HP film), so I don’t know if film!Ron laughed at her or not.
@jaggedjaguy Oh, I see. Yeah, that’s just unpleasant. Neither Ron and Harry were that unpleasant towards her in the books. Agree with you on that; GOF is such a weird movie to watch- it’s unwatchable for book fans because it leaves out so much, but it too rushed for general audiences to watch. Most of the time, it just comes across like the film-makers didn’t know what they were doing half-the-time.
