One thing you have to remember is while Emma is hot, in the books she wasn't as much (she was still good looking, but not on the level of Emma). There is another thread somewhere talking about how Ginny should have been better looking in the movies. Of course you don't know how the little kids are gonna grow into their looks, so that can't be helped.
Look at it this way. Ron was the underdog, always living in Harry's shadow. In the end Ron ended up with a very special gal. If instead Harry got Hermoine then Ron would have been the shadowed underdog throughout the entire story and in the final chapter we might have found out he ended up with someone... but would it have been the same? No.
Since Harry is the main character of the series it was ALOT easier to have a romantic focus for him other then Hermoine. If the story dealt with the romantic budding between Ron and another character it would have detracted from the main story to much. By having Ron and Hermoine get together, the underdog still wins in the end and it doesn't draw away from the main story. _________________ House: Gryffindor

harry and hermione were always just friends. i think ron and hermione go great together any way. Rindaris also brings up some good points about ron being the underdog. anyways, harry and ginny > harry and hermione, imo.
Harry, Hermione, and Ron are a trio working together to take down evil. Along the way Hermione and Ron can hold onto each other while Harry branches out and leads the way. This defeats the third wheel that Ron would have been if Hermione had gotten with Harry. _________________ It's Not Over!
i really think Harry and Hermione should have ended up y
-hermione was a muggle-born ( like lilly )
... not sure why blood status matters.
Quote:
-hermione was intelligent ( like lilly )
And that was one of the reasons Ron liked her.
It is never said that Ginny is dumb. In fact, her grades are neevr mentioned. for all we know, she did go on to be Head Girl, as well.
Quote:
-hermione never missed a chance to hug harry
She hugged Ron, too. But for some reason no one ever remembers those times. And the Ron/Hermione hugs were always tense and awkward because they liked each other.
Quote:
-hermione cared for him more than ron and she even kissed him on his cheeks many times
Obviously she didn't care for Harry more, where did you get that from?
She kisses Harry on the cheek once. At the end of Gof and it wasn't a big deal. She kisses Ron on the cheek in OotP and it was a huge deal, it definitely affected Ron. Not like Harry who isn't affected when she kisses him on the cheek.

Look better? How can the "look" better, it's a book...

The actress really is very pretty, but looks alone isn't a good reason for any boy to be with a girl. _________________

that is a very good point
but yeah In the book it never said that Hermione was beautiful except for in the GOF where PArvati said she is beautiful in the yule ball and rest i dont remember and GInny most of the times it is written a very pretty girl
but in the movies Emaa is way better than the Ginny in the movies
and i also agree with the undderdog thing so true
so that clears it up sicne Harry was the lead character fighting voldemort and stuf along with hermione and ron i thing they ended up ok and not distracting the story.
so thats coll thanks for your replies

I agree with all of these. Harry just looked at Hermione as a friend. In the scene with Cho in the 5th book where they go to Hogsmade, Harry is confused as to why she would think him meeting Hermione was bad. This is because he never viewed Hermione as anything more then one of his best friends. Plus you could tell early on in the series Hermione liked Ron more then Harry (in the romantic sort of sense) She had a crush on him in some of the earlier books. _________________

Awww... those poor puppies!
That whole Hogsmeade scene between Harry and Cho was very important when discussing the shipping wars... just look at the difference between Cho's jealousy and Lavander's jealousy. Hermione seemed to revel in it when it was Lavander, and even Ron would hide it or blush. But with Cho, Harry was just confsed and Hermone just shrugged it off. _________________

Personally, I despise Harry/Hermione, it's one of the most ridiculous ships I've seen because of how crazy and hostile everyone gets. What is it about Ron/Hermione that everyone hates so much? It was building since FREAKIN BOOK THREE and if you couldn't see that, it's not JK's fault, it's not our fault, so stop complaining about it. PLEASE. It's really old and tired and obviously not valid.
Yes there was affection between them, but it was platonic. Which is apparently not grasped by anyone now, everyone who ever hugged someone in a movie, book, anime, movie, whatever, or who said I love you or showed any type of love for someone HAS TO GO SNOG THEM. >___>
And what's even worse is people who think Hermione is great for him because she was like Lily. Does every aspect of him have to reflect on his father and mother? Can't he have any tastes in girls that are different from his father? And really I don't think they were that much alike either, maybe some qualities but as far as personalities go, they weren't anything alike to me. _________________
If GinnyHarry made Ron uncomfortable yet Hermione was nonplussed.
If HermHarry made it, Ron would be losing the girl he loves, once again, to Harry after doubt was planted in his mind after he abondoned those two in DH.
Ron would go, in all respect to Voldemort, evil. _________________

Ha, yea though I agree I think Ron would have been driven crazy if Harry took Hermione from him
Spoiler:
We saw in Deathley Hallows when he was trying to destroy the horcrux that Harry and Hermione being to together would be one of his worst fears. Plus after that Harry says that he thinks of her like a sister.
I mean obviously Harry isn't ment to be with Hermione after he says that. _________________

it was like obvious from book one it would be ron/hermione.
people just think harry/hermione would work because harry is the main character, and hermione is like one of the second main characters, so people automatically go for those two.
i'm glad it was ron/hermione. it was like it was actually thought out instead of jkr just going "well i've gotta put some romance in there somehow... oh i'll just do harry and hermione that's the easiest way" _________________

I'm going to sound like a broken record, so bear with me...
Emma Watson wasn't a hottie when she was first chosen to play Hermione. The plain and simple fact is that Hermione is made beautiful in the movies to help sell the movies. Not everyone reads the books.
Emma Watson is certainly not a conventional, Hollywood beauty. She's a natural beauty, and matched with brains, she's a great role model, unlike the Britneys, Lindseys and Parises of the world.
