If the actors think it's a romance scene, then it's probably a romance scene. And the fact that they almost kiss, is what makes this even so much worse. Yes, she turns it down, but it doesn't matter. They still ALMOST did it.
Of course, as any diehard "Potter" fan knows, the visual isn't real; it's a fantastical rendering created by one of the Horcruxes to keep Ron from destroying it. But just because the snog wasn't real in the "Harry Potter" world, doesn't mean that Watson and Radcliffe were off the hook from filming it.
So when harry tries to make Hermione positive by dancing, they get confused like “is this more than friendship” kind of thing, but harry looks like he is ready to go more than friend, where they could have easily kissed that night, because at that point they both are single.
Of course not. Or rather, she openly loves Harry as a friend/little brother - but she's got no romantic interest in him at all. She secretly loves Ron, that's canon, and it's quite sad, really, how lots of people still refuse to accept that*.
The True Sign of Friendship
Harry is not sexually attracted to Hermione - he never has been. He does acknowledge that she is pretty at the Yule Ball. Hermione even earns a full paragraph describing everything from her hair to her dress to her teeth.
From even the earlier films, we all knew Hermione Granger was meant for Ron Weasley. But before their ultimate expression of love in the final film, Hermione went to the Yule Ball with one of the Triwizard Tournament's champions, Viktor Krum (Stanislav Ianevski), in Goblet of Fire.
Rupert Grint's Ron and Emma Watson's Hermione share a kiss in 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2.
But Britain's Sunday Times published excerpts of the interview in a front-page story, “JK admits Hermione should have wed Harry.” “I wrote the Hermione/Ron relationship as a form of wish fulfillment. That's how it was conceived, really,” Rowling says in the interview.
Though Hermione and Ron do end up together at the end of the HP Saga, the acclaimed author has said in several interviews that she considered having Hermione and Draco end up together in the end. Rowling even suggested that Draco bullying Hermione was like adolescent hair pulling on the playground.
She lost her virginity to Ron sometime after the Battle of Hogwarts. Not to Krum or McLaggen and surely not Fred. Thank you.
Ron and Hermione's first kiss is an iconic moment in the Harry Potter movies, but its depiction in the books is far superior. One of the most memorable first kisses in movie history belongs to Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley of the Harry Potter series.
Harry and Hermione have sex while in the tent after Ron abandons them. Hermione is insecure and confused about things, so she claims it's a mistake and that they should go back to being just friends.
Hermione sees Harry as only a friend so she has no trouble hugging him. The same is not true of Ron who she has stronger, unacknowledged feelings for. She doesn't want to hug him for fear it will become immediately and plainly obvious to him and even Harry how she feels about Ron.
Faced with reality, Draco finally understands his whole life, his whole system of “right and wrong,” is not correct. He was just a manipulated boy. Rowling is adamant that Malfoy didn't deserve a redemption arc because there was never a “heart of gold” underneath his pompous act.
In a recent interview, J.K. Rowling said that Draco had strong positive feelings for Hermoine, and would always have "lingering" feelings. However, due to his upbringing, he was unable to act on those feelings, and instead made fun of her, gaining some attention that way.
JK Rowling has said she believes Harry and Hermione should have ended up together. Warner Bros. Although the ending she wrote featured Ron and Hermione getting hitched, even JK Rowling eventually confirmed the fan theory, saying that she may have made a mistake.
Though Harry encountered many opportunities that deemed Avada Kedavra necessary, it remains as one of the Unforgivable Curses Harry Potter never cast. For one, he viewed the spell as an immoral practice commonly used by users of the Dark Arts.
Ron first began showing signs of romantic interest in Hermione in their second year; he was irritated by her crush on Professor Gilderoy Lockhart, became so angry that Draco Malfoy called her a "Mudblood" that he tried to hex him, and was even more upset than Harry when she became one of the victims of the basilisk.
Years ago, in an interview, Rowling revealed her feelings about Ginny Weasley and explained why she wanted Harry to end up with her. Here's the wisdom she shared with fans. "He needs to be with someone who can stand the demands of being with Harry Potter, because he's a scary boyfriend in a lot of ways.
It doesn't really feel any different, because you are still acting." In "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," the latest in the megahit series based on J.K. Rowling's books, Harry comes of age and has his first on-screen kiss with longtime crush Cho Chang, played by Katie Leung.
Katie Leung, the actress who played Cho Chang in the Harry Potter movies, became the envy of teenage girls everywhere when she gave Harry his first kiss in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The kiss played on the big screen in 2007, almost 10 years ago.
Now, while I'm a die-hard Dramione shipper, there's another man who I ship Hermione with who would be a more sensible match than Mr. Malfoy, and that is her first boyfriend and confirmed fist kiss, Viktor Krum.
She Was Attracted To Him First
Of the two of them, it was Hermione who realized she liked Ron first as she dropped heavy hints in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire of her attraction. She fully realized she liked him by the time of the Yule Ball, but didn't do anything because of Ron's tactless behavior at the time.
