I knew that you could! (Small spoilers for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince)
Because that is about the only way to describe the nice boys and girls who put this gem. Specifically, its put together by a bunch of whiners who can't get over having grossly misread the hints and intentions laced in the first five Harry Potter books about which of the trio would end up with whom, and who didn't like having the author tell them this. How sad can you get? The hints have been there since book one pretty much from when they meet. And the fourth book just about screamed for the two to get a room. In book six, Hermione and Ron finally do end up as a couple. And yet, as of the time I write this 419 people where whining about misunderstanding it and not liking being told they were.
Crybabies.

That's beyond sad - it's pathetic.
You'd think fanboys (and girls) of that calibre would be too busy with, um, other things to get their hands free long enough to type that garbage.
Ick. I say ick!

No one likes a red-haired kid. Let's face it.
I heard the J.K. is already planning for the series to portray the three main characters in their 20s, during which time Harry, Ron, and Hermione will use their satanic sorcery powers to have out-of-body experiences and possess each other, thus opening the way for unspeakably un-Christian 3-way sexual adventures.

Is that before or after the giant orgy involving all the members of the DA?

The SAD people perhaps haven't lived long enough yet to see that love and relationships ebb and flow, come and go, change and end. That H. has hooked up with R. doesn't mean that Hermione and Harry might not have wild passionate love down the road. Life and lvoe have many twists and turns. Pehaps she will go les, and Harry and Ron will become the dynamic duo of their time. There's so many possiblities. Give Rowling her space to create, and there will be more to come......

To most of the people i know, the Ron and Hermione thing has been rather arrantly obvious from book one or two, certainly in book four.

That might be sad, but this is hilarious: Someone has compiled the inadvertent innuendos from the new Harry Potter:

Yeah, like a multi-million dollor writer is going to change her vision and in other words bend over backwards just to fill the requests of a bunch of fans. It's her story! Live with it brats!

I knew about Ron and Hermione before J.K Rowling was blond, and I still haven't read any of the books, although my resolve is weakening now that my wife has them scattered throughout the house like rectangular dustballs

Come to the dark side, Luuuuke.

Eric,
I thought R+H would be a couple since at least book two, sorta thought it might be possible from book one. The movies even play the two of them up even more. The books are fun, but definately kid/teen aimed.
13 - Eric Olsen
I agree it's pretty evident in the movies, especially 3

Movie #3 was um, not very true to the book. The first two were fairly close but imo if you wiped yourself with the script from #3 you might never get the stench off your backside.
15 - with karate ill kik ur ass
'the co' is right. in the third movie it has R and H looking at the shreiking shack together and H says 'do u wanna move a little closer' and R takes this the rong way,and H says'to the house i mean'. but in the book there was nothing of the sort and definitly not in the fist 2 books. now in the fourth book, R is pretty jelous of H and the Quidich player (i can't for the lov of god remember his name) but i thought he was just jelous of H for being with is favourite player not coz they were going out. it was a bit of a shock that they go out but how says they were, all it says at the end of the six book is that H had her head on R's shoulder, does that mean thier goin out? and so what, i don't think that H should go out with Harry anyway, i like him goin out with Ginny and i certainly don't want him goin out with that chinese moaning bitch!!!

has anybody eles noticed that the time they posted a comment is rong. im on here at 10:45 and it says 6:45 or somen, is this an american web site or is it just rong??
wat was the point of this book by the way, it was called the half blood prince but only a 5th of the book was about the half blood prince, the rest was just filler, im sure that it will all be relivant soon in the 7th book but com on it was modiritly interesting but the 3rd 4th and 5th book got my attention more!!
20 - with karate ill kik ur ass
by the way, the guy that plays the famous quiditch player is really hot!!
21 - TheCO
with karate ill kik ur ass,
Um, pay attention to the way Hermione is shown as being more akward around Ron than Harry, especially at the end of the second movie, but also during them books, if more subtly.
22 - with karate ill kik ur ass
theCO,
at the end of the second movie? no they weren't. and like i sed up there,i didn't think that R was jelous of H for goin out with the famous quiditch player, was he?
23 - with karate ill kik ur ass

Well most Harry and Hermione fans, are justifiably pissed after a certain interview was given. Hell I would be pissed off if I was called "delusional", But looking at the book as a reader and as a parent I found it lacking ANY substance. I was however more than annoyed over the cheesy way she set up the whole premise for this one. Now I have read all of the books now after coming home from work on friday and finding both of my girls in tears over the books portrayal of Hermione. I didnt understand this till I read them; did Ms Rowling decide to just lobotomize her for no reason or is she(rowling) really like that, I say this due to the fact that I found an interview she did after book five had come out and she said something to the effect of " she's my avatar, when you hear her speak it's really me." If this is the case then I guess she is advocates women debasing themselves inorder to get a man, and I am a man by the way. I happen to be a ten year veteran paramedic working in NYC, and I have seen "men" like Ron many times they are the wife beaters, the drunks with too much time and no motivation, I could have seen Harry with Hermione, hell I read the interview on one of the "prime" websites and was thoroughly disgusted by the lack of professionalism, and the obvious baiting of the Harry and Hermione fans. Now if you are a Ron fan I am sorry; but he should have been relegated to the background in the third book. He as a character is rather one dimensional, crude jealous and meanspirited, the type of guy that drags others down in order to make himself feel good. in short the type I would toss out of my house if my girls ever brought him home, I dont mind the jock thing I was one however I also busted my butt studying and stil played three sports, Hermione reminds me of my wife the woman i met on my first day of high school and dated all through that AND college even though we went to schools that were distance wise far from each other, SO this leaves me to wonder DOES the author condone spousal abuse? You see boys and girls tearing a person down verbally and constant argueing is NO way to begin a healthy relationship. OK thats done on to my next pet peeve from this book. Ginny hmmm where to begin, ahhh I know Who in there right mind believed it ? Not this man for one. The set up was contrived and bland she went from a supporting role to a main one, please I have now over this last weekend read nearly fifty fan fiction works and saw many corolations in the way this character was brought to the forefront. Hell the book itself reminded me of one between the bad grammer and the over use of BIG words inorder to sound intelligent. Out of five stars I give this book two for sheer lack of anyhting resembling a premise as well as the assisination of a wonderful and strong female lead, my prediction for the next one look for a dead Harry in the end or a Luke Skywalker archetype.

will ppl plz get over the whol 'hermione & harry' thing. it sucks!! it would just be weird if they got togethrt!! it wouldn't be right!! and i think its good that ron and hermione got together except that we dont no if they actually did at the end of the 6th book!!! i didn't think in the slightest that in any of the books, harry and hermione had anything but a friendship!! everybody keeps saying 'oh yeh, u could totally see the chemistry in the books', NO U COULDN'T!!!! i think it makes sence that H and R r getting together because they used to always fight and ron was jelous of krum and hermione and hermione was jelous of ron and lavander!!!!! it makes sence. but i can't seem to make anybody see that so in the words of the great jim carry, what im gonna do is piss and moan!!
