Let’s be honest, Harry’s more likely to kiss Ron than he is to kiss Hermione.
@amyk712 This wasn’t aimed at me, but I sure as heck am gonna comment! This post was intended as a joke, and was tagged with ‘anti-harmony’ and ‘no offence to those who ship it but it’s not my thing’. I never intended to insult anyone who ships Harry x Hermione, as I have no interest in engaging in shipping wars. My apologies if you feel offended by this post.
At no point did I ever try to imply that people who prefer the Harry x Hermione ship are somehow ‘cringy’, and I am deeply sorry if that’s how this post came across. That was never my intention.
Like you say, let people ship who they ship. If you personally feel Harry and Hermione have more potential as a relationship than Ron and Hermione, that’s fine. But I personally do not, as I’ve always seen Harry and Hermione’s relationship as that of brother-and-sister. That was all this post was; a personal opinion given in a humour way.
Funnily enough, I have read the Wonderland interview. I really hate to be ‘that guy’ but that interview has been taken almost entirely out of context; Emma Watson has (even from the very early days of the series) been a big fan of Ron x Hermione, and even pointed out in the Wonderland interview that she found it strange to be acting out non-quite-platonic scenes between Harry and Hermione:
“Watson: (talking about the Harry and Hermione dance scene in DH Part 1) This is just so interesting because when I was doing the scene, I said to David [Heyman]: “This isn’t in the book, she didn’t write this.” I’m not sure I am comfortable insinuating something however subtle it is!”
This post was not intended to offend anyone, and I apologise if it did. I never expected this post to venture outside of the Romione side of tumblr, and I apologise again if my post has offended anyone.
“Having a soulmate is not always about love. You can find your soulmate in a friendship too.” (x)
Such a pure friendship.
Having said that, the effect is slightly dampened by that last gif. It’s like ‘two bro’s sharing a look but standing several feet apart because they’re not gay’. Which is weird because they hugged in the previous film.
Once again proving that Hermione doesn’t understand Harry’s emotional needs as well as Ron does. Ron helps Harry unwind and de-stress himself in his own way. Hermione can put it down to ‘boys’ all she likes, but all it does is prove that she really doesn’t understand the situation.
Sorry, I know this seems like I’m coming across as very anti-Hermione (which wasn’t my intention), but scenes like this make it very clear to me why Harry and Hermione never became a couple. They genuinely don’t understand what the other needs emotionally. Ron, on the other hand, is far better at it. Which is why I prefer Romione (and, to a lesser extent, Rarry/Harron) over Harmione.
“Your Wheezy, sir, your Wheezy — Wheezy who is giving Dobby his jumper!” Dobby plucked at the shrunken maroon sweater he was now wearing over his shorts. “What?” Harry gasped. “They’ve got… they’ve got Ron?” “The thing Harry Potter will miss most, sir!” squeaked Dobby.
