that david yates quote about the seventh movie regarding harry and hermione is so weird to me bc in the books by that point the canon pairings were obvious and it was canon that harry was in love with ginny and that ron and hermione were in love with each other. even if u didnt ship them, it was obvious. why would harry and hermione randomly fall in love because ron left them? and why didnt jkr mind them inventing a love triangle and discussing it like its canon? lol

Eh. A stupid comment about a stupid scene. In the books, there was no dancing scene. There was no such thing as “Harry trying to make Hermione feel better” because newsflash: Harry’s not emotionally receptive to Hermione’s feelings. There was no “almost kiss” , no “it might have been.” There was only “We are siblings and we both love Ron Weasley.” If the filmmakers didn’t have a boner for H*rmione, they would’ve just scrapped the dancing scene and made room for Dudley’s redemption, but they didn’t because…fanservice.

They were stupid enough to believe that something would happen between Harry and Hermione and made a build-up to a possible Har/mione endgame. Obviously, the delusional shippers/movie fans got their hopes high, so they had to give them something. (A cringey dancing scene wasn’t enough, apparently. Harry and Hermione had to each other’s faces as well, while Ron and Hermione were only allowed to get a badly staged kiss.)

Don’t even get me started on J.K Rowling. She’s so gullible. She completely forgot what she wrote in the books and got influenced by the filmmakers’ H*rmione agenda. They gave Romione’s dance to H*rmione, and the fact that JKR approved of this is embarrassing and unforgivable. Lmao, fuck them all.

The reason why I hate the Harmione pairing so much is because thanks to it, we were robbed of Rupert Grint’s amazing acting, oh and also robbed of an adaptation of those goddamn books.

All we got was Kloves’ high-budget wanking fantasy.

I’ll never forgive Kloves for his BS and Rowling for allowing it to happen. If I was her I wouldnt have stood for it. I would have found someone else to do it, or did it myself.

Not only was all the H*rmione baiting rude to people who actually liked the book characters, but it was rude to people who liked the H*rmione ship too. It could never happen due to the films having to roughly follow the canon-plot, but the film-makers inserted H*rmione stuff nonetheless. It built-up the idea that the two could get together, even though that could never happen. Putting it in the films preventing H*rmione shippers from enjoying it in an AU capacity, and made them hope that it was possible when the film-makers knew they could never follow through on it. 

I’ll never be over the fact that Rupert Grint basically got sidelined for an entire decade simply because the production higher-ups had an agenda against Ron and insisted on inserting build-up to a pairing that was never going to have a conclusion. 

Seriously, I never seen such fragrant under-use of brilliant acting talent as what happened with Rupert Grint in the HP films (especially considering the amazing character that Rupert wanted to do his best to adapt). It will forever be my biggest stumbling block to enjoying the HP film series. 

It’s like the film-makers were purposely dangling Rupert in front of us, going “oooh, you like this actor? You like the character that the actor really wants to portray well? You want a healthy, well-rounded character who shows someone can learn from their mistakes and be amazing despite everyone telling them they were useless? You want to see that- WELL, SCREW YOU ALL, YOU CAN’T HAVE IT!”

Rupert deserved better, and so did Ron.

what she says: i’m fine

what she means: wtf did the fictional character ronald bilius weasley do to piss off steve kloves, david yates, michael goldenberg, chris columbus, and alfonso cuarón so much that they basically made the entire movie series into one big  anti ron/pro harmione event? they completely erased any importance ron had, gave all his good lines to hermione and other characters, forced him into the role of comic relief, and tried so hard to force harmione to be canon, this was a huge disservice to ron and the rest of trio, but it was also a big ‘fuck you my version is bettter’ to jk fucking rowling. they need to stay a thousand feet away from ronald bilius weasley for the rest of their life, i swear to god-

Okay, so in the last scene Harry yelled at Ron and was visibly angry at himself for doing so. Why is he apologetically asking this to Hermione instead of Ron? Wouldn’t it make more narrative sense to have Harry trying to make amends to Ron?

This has baffled me for years; does anyone know? 

Maybe he’s asking the queen permission to make up with ron who he doesn’t really care about , that’s how I always perceived it

That’s why it doesn’t make any sense. Because in the last scene, Harry looked genuinely angry at himself for treating Ron like that. Harry beats himself up about it, but then is apologetic to Hermione rather than the person he actually yelled at? Why even bother with the scenes where Ron defends Harry and then gets chewed-out by him, if they weren’t going to have Harry understand that he needed to stop being rude to the only people who supported him? 

It’s such a bad bit of scene-building. There’s build-up for at least three scenes before this, but there’s no pay-off! What was the point? If anything, it’s just wasting screen-time on stuff that doesn’t do anything for Harry’s mini-character-arc. 

@thegrumpyanimagus and @spaceprincessem Agreed. The film-makers didn’t care at all about Harry and Ron’s friendship. Which is a real shame, considering how well Dan and Rupert worked with each-other, as well as how brilliant the character’s friendship was in the books. You’d think the film-makers wouldn’t have been this naked with their disinterest in Harry and Ron’s friendship.

I feel we should give some awards to the Harry Potter movie directors. 

Chris Columbus gets the “You Tried” award. 

Alfanso Cuaron gets the “Did You Try?” award. 

Mike Newell gets the “You Didn’t Try, Did You?” award. 

And David Yates gets the “You Didn’t Even Try” award.

Hmm….

#steve kloves should get the ‘you shouldn’t have tried’ award 

#not a director but still

PREACH. 

slowburnotptrash:

The fact that the books has like 2944383883883 romione and rarry moments that I never got to see on screen is messed up. Where is the scene where Hermione kisses Ron’s cheek? Where is my “Hermione, I love you” scene? Where is that scene where Hermione hugs Ron while He awkwardly pats her on the head? Where is the scene where Hermione kind of asks Ron to the Slughorn party and Harry awkwardly stands there wishing he was anywhere but there. Where is the scene where Ron offers to teach Hermione his whole family tree to protect her? Where is the scene where he offers himself to one of the most dangerous deatheaters just so Hermione survives? Where is the scene where Harry says that he loves Hermione like a sister? Where are the scenes of Ron putting his arm around Hermione to comfort her? Where is the scene where Ron asks Hermione to dance with him because he learned from their fourth year? Where is all the scenes where Ron was the cutest and most supportive friend? Where is the scene where’s Ron Weasley helps Harry to dress? Where is the scene where Ron stands up on his broken leg to protect his best friend? Where’s my Rarry hug after Ron came back? Where are all the scenes where Ron was so freaking charming and so funny that I had to put the book down to take in how much I love this kid? Where is all the scenes where Ron and Harry where being the best friends they’re? Where is the scenes where Ron was the thing that Harry will miss the most? Where is the scenes of Ron being a great emotional support for Harry and knows when to tell Hermione to stop nagging Harry? Where is the scene where Ron notices the “I must not tell lies” scar then telling harry that he needs to report it?

I could go on and on about this f*ckery. Ron, Harry and Hermione deserved better than the movies. JK how could you let Steves and Yates ruin your books??? Can’t believe you even let them ruin your understanding of the characters.

“Ron’s anxieties and senses of inadequacy… are the inspiration for some of Rowling’s best writing across the series. Not all of these fears stem from being the rather more ordinary best friend to someone who is Chosen. Ron is ashamed of his family’s financial limitations, which leave him with broken wands, hand-me-down pets, and ragged dress robes, all of which stand up poorly to Harry’s magical tools, his beloved Hedwig, and his sleek party outfit. The moment in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire when Ron discovers that the gold he used to pay Harry back for the Omniculars Harry purchased for him as a treat at the Quidditch World Cup vanished, and that Harry didn’t notice because he has so much money, is one of the sharpest depictions of the awkwardness of financial inequality in a friendship that I can remember. Their gap in Quidditch skills is another area of friction. And the scene in Deathly Hallows in which Ron, having made tremendous efforts to return to the friends he abandoned, confronts his terror that Harry is more desirable than Ron in every area, whether as a son to Mrs. Weasley or a potential lover to Hermione, is a beautiful illustration of how difficult it is to love someone who constantly eclipses you.”

What J.K. Rowling’s Ron And Hermione Bombshell Tells Us About True Love And ‘Harry Potter’ (via lydia-martin)

#ron’s complexity is such a relatable subject for me#bc i completely understand what it’s like being second best#and the more i think abt it the more i hate that shes ruining this for me#bc she never loved ron as much as she loved harry and hermione#she almost killed him off for fucks sake#i just dont understand

(via jemmasmmns)

“She never loved Ron as much as she loved Harry and Hermione.”

Dearest J.K Rowling,

ALL OF THIS!

The quote from the original post is just so good and accurate and utterly heartbreaking. But it’s such an important point to make. Ron is one of the best written, multifaceted, and complex characters in the entire story and his arc is just so damn good. For any person who can read the books and still find a way to completely disregard him, or worse, misunderstand, underestimate, and abuse him? It will continue to boggle my mind for the rest of my life.
