The bigger problem is that he is a complete loser with zero ambition and she is the "smartest witch of her age". I think he even becomes a store clerk later on.

>"smartest witch of her age"
Always bugged me. She was booksmart sure but in other regards could be quite dense or even rather naive. She's just an eager beaver bookworm.
I think that title was just to butter her ego up, and isn't meant to be taken seriously.
The amount of fanfics that wank her intelligence to the point where everyone else might as well be drooling knuckle draggers is shameful.

>>220478787
The big issue isn't even that. It's that they fucking hate each other's guts. Bookfags will come whining it's the movies because the director had bias or something but nope, read the books and it becomes clear Ron cannot stand Hermione's preachy attitude and Hermione cannot stand his laziness. Just because he stood up for her against Snape, who he already loathes, doesn't mean shit. If Harry wasn't there both wouldn't have been friends ever
The books constantly push for a Harry and Hermione relationship in a shit ton of scenes until Rowling changed her mind last minute. The reason is partly her fantasizing about an old abusive ex (as confirmed by interviews) and fearing what fans would think it the books had a generic "main protag gets the main girl" relationship. But the shift was super obvious, that's why HarryxHermione shipping was the main ship for the longest time (until Tumblrfags took over and started pushing fag Draco and Snape on everything like the worthless whores they are) and still remains big, and why the love potion trope with Dumbledore being complicit is so common. Cause people, especially book readers, saw how abrupt the story changed

>>220479883

This pairing was telegraphed hard from very early on and while romance is definitely not Rowling's strong suit they have good chemistry due to their established friendship and are easily the best written couple in the books aside from the Weasleys. The seething it causes never ceases to amaze me.

>>220480484
>that's why HarryxHermione shipping was the main ship for the longest time (until Tumblrfags took over and started pushing fag Draco

It was the main hetero ship cause of course the self inserters who see themselves in Hermione would want her to be with the hero of the story and not his sidekick. It's the same reason Hermione/Snape or Hermione/Draco are popular, it's entirely due to girls self inserting as Hermione.
And Harry/Draco always rivalled Harry/Hermione in popularity.

in the books ron isn't dumb he has may clever moments and hermione is more flawed, with the one exception of the chess game in one every single instance of ron being smart or useful in the books was either cut or given to hermione in the movies because the screenwriter was in love with the character, he also gave her some from other charaters like dumbledore, she's much less of a genius in the books

it's mostly little things, like whenever the trio needs to understand something that requires common sense or understanding other people's motivations is almost always ron that gets it while hermione is mostly about raw knowledge and harry is actually the one who is kinda dumb in the "mute rpg protagonist" way where he's always having others explain things to him

I haven't paid attention to discourse surrounding the remake since the trailer dropped. Did we decide what this tuning fork thing is? I think it's actually his wand, and they digitally altered the scene so they wouldn't reveal what the new elder wand looks like in a teaser. I guess it could also just be a tuning fork. You do use music to subdue Fluffly, but he's holding it like a wand. And the shot is framed in a way that suggests he's doing something important, not just tuning an instrument he's going to use later on.

Alright:

During the Devil’s snare scene, book Ron keeps his cool, alongside Harry, and is the one who snaps Hermione out of her panic. She’s desperately saying “there’s no firewood”, and he asks her “are you a witch or not?”

Ron is the one who explains what Mudblood means. Generally, he’s the one who has the most information about Wizarding customs.

In the Shrieking Shack, book Ron’s leg is still injured, but instead of cowering, he tries (and fails) to throw himself between Sirius and Harry, saying “if you want to kill Harry, you’ll have to kill us too.”

When Harry is feuding with Seamus, Book Ron steps up and does his best to get both of them back in line.

Book Ron IS absolutely terrified of the spiders in the forest, but it’s not played for comedy. Generally speaking, aside from this scene, he doesn’t cower, unlike in the films, when they realised Rupert was good at playing a comedic coward and kept him doing it.

Book Ron puts huge amount of effort into Buckbeaks’s appeal. Also, the trigger for his kiss with Hermione is him suddenly saying that they should evacuate the house elves.

He goes out of his way to try and treat Hermione better, looking for genuine opportunities to complement her, throughout the last book. It’s both a running gag, and also a point of he has in common with James.

Ron is a better judge of character and emotion. A noticeable example is when Harry’s date with Cho falls apart, Ron is the one who picks up that Harry is truly losing interest, instead of just upset at the date having gone wrong, which is what Hermione thinks.

Book Ron jumps in to defend people being bullied. Most notably standing up for Hermione when Snape is being horrible to her about her appearance after her teeth got accidentally jinxed.

>>220494970
Overall he’s noticeably more competent at magic, and way more socially competent. Harry’s clearly the best duelist of the trio, because of how much experience he has and his natural athleticism. Hermione is the best at over all magical ability, but unlike in the movies, book Ron is so much more decisive that the two of them would be evenly matched. Again, compare that to her easily handling him during DA practice in the movies. Played for laughs again. Because that really is the main reason. Movie Ron is a joke.

It doesn't make sense in the book either. Harry and Hermione had chemistry and a fuck lot more interactions with each other. JK Rowling is just a fucking idiot and had to give Ginny (a fucking minor side character with zero charisma or interesting traits) a happy ending/love interest even if it didn't make sense. Hell, Luna Lovegood would have been a better love interest for Harry than fucking Ginny.

Then again, most of JK Rowling's writing either doesn't make any fucking sense, or does make sense but is fucking stupid.

The pure seethe of harry-hermione shippers ITT really feels like they self inserted as harry, had a crush on hermione and felt so cucked by ron they have been seething and coping for literally 2 decades at this point

Already you start with lies. He doesn’t keep his cool and would’ve died without Hermione. She does a little more in the movie scene because they cut her beating Snape’s challenge

It makes more sense for Hermione to talk about Mudbloods. Why have another character explain a prejudice he doesn’t suffer. Also, Ron is dumb and doesn’t know stuff he should, like Voldemort’s true name

> , he tries (and fails)
Exactly

Kreacher getting the Elfs to join the fight is much better. It’s something that gives them actual agency and thinks of them as people

He dates Lavender and wants to cheat at Quidditch

another thing is it might also be some british influence too, from what i have read/seen of british children entertainment, main male and female leads are almost never the love interest, its always either bro sis or cousin, specially in cartoons, so harry hermoine were kind of already filling the bro sis role, very hard to steer it into romantic relationship, similar to ben/gwen in ben10

this only happened in your head the only times he makes her cry is in the first book when she overhears him and then when she walks in on him kissing lavander neither could be considered bullying nor does he ever do it, they just bicker and banter
you have such a weird obsession for saying he bullied her that it makes me think you are projecting IRL stuff it's legit weird

An even worse couple is a person with any taste whatsoever and any entry in this, the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though

"No!"

The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

>>220478619
It's one of those things that made sense in the books.

In the movies, Watson took all his parts anyway, and she had more chemistry and on-screen time with Radcliffe. In the books, Ron + Hermoine makes sense because he levels her out. She's only kind of attractive in the books, but everyone thinks she's annoying as shit. Perfect example is one of Harry + Ron's many fights and moments of not speaking to each other, he's bitching about having to hang around Hermoine all day because she doesn't shut the fuck up and is annoying. Movies get rid of most of this.

Even Rowling saying Harry should've been with Hermoine, is more because she watched one of the latter moves and said it. Not because of the books.

As for Harry, yes Ginny didn't even make sense in the books. Luna was always the perfect weirdo to match him.

Hermione in the books was written to be physically unattractive, right? standard Roald Dahl stuff: she had buckteeth and her hair was too bushy.

i barely remember book #4 onwards, i remember she uses magic to fix her teeth (even though both her parents are dentists), is it ever implied she becomes good-looking? Harry registers Cho Chang as 'quite pretty', he doesn't ever check Hermione out from what i can recall.

He does keep his cool relative to Hermione, who is completely panicking. Is he totally calm as the devil’s snare threatens to kill him and his friends? No. But he operates much better than she does under pressure, and helps her calm down enough to leverage her higher intelligence and level of magical skill.


As for failing to stop Black, the entire point is this: an thirteen year old boy who is injured enough that he can’t stand up is willing to die to try and protect his friend.

In the books, Kreacher still gets the elves to join. He is described as diving into the conflict with a kitchen knife and going for a death eaters ankles (from memory). The point is Ron had real character growth, which his love interest appreciated.

Yes, he did date Lavender and did was ok with cheating at Quidditch. You have identified Ron’s flaws. The mirror or Erised shows them, as does a scene in the book where each character in the trio says what Deathly Hallow they would want. They all come up with a different answer. Only Hermione is logical enough to want the Cloak. Harry wants the stone, despite it being a dead end, and Ron would choose the wand. He is jealous (and with Hermione, this manifests mostly with Krum), and he is somewhat power hungry. In the books, when Harry gives up the elder wand, even then Ron suggests they keep it. He’s quite unconcerned with following rules, having grown up directly underneath and looking up to Fred and George. Dating Lavender was partly childish revenge for Krum and partly a bad dating decision by a teenager. I’d say that’s pretty realistic.

And yes, at least in the first book, Ron is so rude that Hermione runs off crying and ends up alone in the bathroom with a troll.

Ron never stood a chance...

But here’s the thing. The movies largely keep those moments, or at least the underlying energy (like Ron’s seething jealousy in Goblet, which is also straight from the book).

It’s any time he is clever, sensitive or brave. Steve Kloves cuts those scenes out to support a ship that is never going to happen.

possible relationships for harry:
>hermione
great. they have been friends for years, always support and care for each other. perfect match
>cho
harry being there while her boyfriend was murdered probably puts a damper on things. bad choice.
>luna
manic pixie dream girl, but more innocent and sweet than the "will burn your clothes and kill your dog" type
>ginny
ruined by her having a celebrity crush on the persona around him, rather than the real person. basically zero interaction for 5 books
>gabrielle
too young for book ending (she's like 5 years younger than harry) but would be good for post-books due to the whole "saved her life" thing
>fleur
similar to why gabrielle would be good post-books, this would be good during the books. saved her sister's life, wasn't hopelessly enraptured by her beauty, seemed to become great friends
>some random woman he met post-school (either a witch or even a muggle)
too brave for rowling

possible relationships for hermione:
>harry
see above. perfect match
>ron
he always insults her and makes fun of the things she believes in. bad friend. abandoned harry and hermione multiple times. is the reason she was almost TROLLED in the first book. terrible choice
>krum
he was 20 and she was 15 when he took her to the yule ball. nonce.
>some random man she met post-school (either a wizard or even a muggle)
see above

possible relationships for ron:
>hermione
see above
>some random woman he met post-school (either a witch or even a muggle)
see above

Book Ron improves the trio as a whole, being one of the reasons that make book Hermione a better character. Book Harry too. It’s not a zero sum game. A stronger, more fleshed out Ron, with strengths as well as just the weaknesses we see on screen, can have deeper and more interesting relationships with everyone.

This thread is a REALLY good example too. Something similar was happening on /mu/ for a while too, but someone got on the inside and doxxed the guy.

I’d argue that Ginny transitions from having a celebrity crush to having a hero crush after book two. Don’t forget, Harry may have pulled Gabrielle out of the lake, and it’s questionable as to how much danger she was in if he hadn’t.

But Ginny was dying, and he fought a venomous snake, with a sword, almost dying in the process himself, to get her out. That inspired her to ideate about the real him as a shining knight for a while, unconnected to the boy who lived story.

It’s only when she decides to treat him normally that he actually notices her.

But otherwise, your overall analysis is solid. Harry and Hermione in particular would have had an easier and more straightforward relationship. You’re absolutely right about that. They just both love arguing with each other. It’s weird, and unhealthy but you do see couples like that.

>>220506658
Retard please
He didn't save Gabrielle's life, she was never actually in danger
Meanwhile he did save Ginny's life

No, he helps run his brothers' very profitable magical accessories shop, and also becomes an Auror.

>The books constantly push for a Harry and Hermione relationship in a shit ton of scenes until Rowling changed her mind last minute.

No they don't, that's ridiculous. They have zero romantic chemistry. Ron and Hermione were obvious from book 4. The problem is that they never developed a healthy, non-fighting dynamic and would probably end up divorced.

>>220506827
if ginny didn't have the celebrity crush on harry to start with, it would've been fine. but it poisons pretty much everything after that

>it’s questionable as to how much danger she was in if he hadn’t
doesn't really matter. he THOUGHT she was in danger, and so did Fleur apparently. it's the thought that counts and whatnot

it's pretty clear that rowling realized while writing HBP "oh shit i didn't set up any relationships for the end, i need to start that now" which is also why every single relationship is retarded
>>220506839
>He didn't save Gabrielle's life, she was never actually in danger
people have died and he and fleur thought she was in danger. it's the thought that counts.

The biggest stand out in that series of Quotes is Allan Moore. His best work is all capeshit. Whenever he tried to do something different, it ended up fizzling, often because it was uncomfortably paedophilic or mired in the author’s personal conspiracy theories. As in, a series of theories no one else has ever shown much interest or belief in. A worldview that is still at war with Margaret Thatcher.

It’s fine to make capeshit. Especially if it’s high quality, which I think it’s fair to argue, Watchmen is. Star Wars too. Well, at least the first two movies, without any reservations. But at least Lucas knows what he is making. Films for children.

Alan wrote books with pictures for teenagers. He is not a wizard. And he needs to let go his anger at Margaret Thatcher.

However he is one hundred percent right in this instance - much like Lenin was about left-wing communists - and that's why you can only seethe and dilate rather than arguing back.

What happened?

This thread suddenly became interesting with great debates

>>220506954
Ok, you know what, fair. The celebrity crush would leave a weird after affect between them, and yes, Harry truly did think no one was coming to save Gabrielle.

And yes, Rowling absolutely did suddenly turn up the romance instead of drip feeding it. I guess my problem is as written, Harry and Hermione have no chemistry. I do understand and accept though, that your argument is that Rowling didn’t force it, and that if she had suddenly focused on proving that Harry and Hermione liked each other, that I might prefer them as a couple. Maybe.

I think Ron and Hermione are set up as far back as book one. But I stand by what I said. They have an unhealthy relationship, which is an attempt by Rowling to “fix” her failed highschool romance. That’s why it feels the most real to me. Because it is.

>>220507068
Oi calm down luv. I just stepped out ter pub innit. I’ll be back in a jiffy, and I’ll put kettle on. That’ll warm opp place nicely. You can meet me bloody incel son, if he ever leaves bloody incel room. Oh, and here’s the wife Susan. Isn’t she bootiful? Rightio, back ter pub.

>>220507068
boy i hope nobody posts that photo of the deano couple in their grey new build with the peaky blinders portrait

>>220507102
The question i have whenever people bring up chemistry is: what chemistry?

As of book 4, the chemistry was:
>Harry leading the charge to save Hermione from the troll, while Ron was the one that put her in that position
>Hermione was one of the few people who believed Harry didn't put his name in the goblet, while Ron didn't believe him
>Ron insulting everything Hermione cared about, leeching off her for homework, etc
>Ron being jealous of both Harry (fame) and Hermione (Krum/Yule Ball)
>the latter seemed more like she was his last choice and he was mad she wasn't available
Obviously it was written so they were together, but I think Harry/Hermione had a better standing. Even better would be "yeah these characters married people you never even met, because that's how it works with most people" like she did with Draco marrying a side character's sister.

>an attempt by Rowling to “fix” her failed highschool romance
I've always thought it was a reference to the failed relationship with her abusive Portuguese husband
