I almost cheered out loud when Hermione saved the two boys with her quick reaction and extended planning at the wedding. OUR GIRL RULES!!!!
Of course, the whole DD/Grindelwald thing is so Prof X/Magneto.
LOL! I'm not up-to-date with the X-Men, but I like it!
Hey! I thought you were a DC person!? :-)
That reminds me, how dumb was Harry when they got caught because he said "Voldemort" after Ron explained how important it was not to; that there was a Taboo on the name? Hermione gets tortured because of that!
That's okay, he was thinking of Ginny and her 'hard, blazing look' at the time ... :-(
Those fears he had that the locket reflected, it wasn't something he had to overcome: It is handed to him. Harry assures him there is nothing to worry about. Ron will get what he wants, not what he deserves.
Excellent analysis there, good stuff, thanks! You've got me thinking! Imagine if Harry had said 'yeah, mate, I like Hermione too!'. Ron would have chucked a fit and gone home (again).
No, she's been waiting for him all along, ever since PS apparently, so as soon as he wants her, he basically gets her.
That's the bit I hate most of all, yes. According to the anvils Hermione settled on Ron (who knows why) way back, and was just waiting for him to grow up and meet her criteria. "Did I just hear him express concern for house elves?" *ticks box* "Hey, that's the last one; he's good enough for me now!" *smooch*
There is not a single reason why Harry shouldn't look at Hermione romantically at some time, just as there is no reason why Hermione wouldn't at some point consider Harry. Ron and Hermione manage it, why not Harry and Hermione? Even after all the jealousy of Krum and Cho, Harry never once stops to think about what it means or what Hermione means to him, even to decide against it. It just doesn't make any sense for them not to, which is why JKR's surprise about H/Hr is so lame. They should at least consider it as it would be perfectly natural for teenagers to do, but the fact that they don't is ONLY because JKR has decided that they don't because she's made up her mind about R/Hr. Which is why the "she is like a sister" is an anvil from the author, not something we ever see Harry reason through or decide on his own by considering what it would be like to be with Hermione as opposed to Cho or Ginny or even Fleur.
Word.
I've even read numerous H/G stories where, somewhere in the beginning, Harry considers Hermione as a potential girlfriend (even one where he kisses her). You're so right; JKR had all the sensitivity, subtlety and sophistication of a sledgehammer anvil in blocking off H/Hr. Let *Harry* tell us why he sees her as only a sister!
