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.
