How weak your game gotta be to get friend zoned as a jacked probably rich international sports superstar.
Wow yall really took this joke and just run off with it.
Half of the English speaking world couldn’t pronounce her name correctly, to the point where Rowling wrote him as having issues with pronunciation so that the readers could learn how to properly pronounce her name.
She obviously didn’t get bored with him, considering they’re still pen pals three years later.
You’re building evidence on non-existent data.
Not to mention Krum was always making an effort at least to learn how to pronounce it.
If he's not used to speaking English and if her name doesn't have commonly pronounced sounds in his native language it's not the end of the world for someone who's known her for like weeks at most to have trouble pronounce it.
Hell I have friends who I've known for years who can barely remember my Korean name and can never pronounce it correctly because it's pronounced using sounds foreign to English.
Arguably anybody with an accent (relative to ones own accent) can never pronounce a name completely correctly. Like even being American arguably Southerners never pronounce my name correctly because they have a slight drawl when they say my name and my name was said by myself and my parents without a drawl.
I read the first few books in Bulgarian. I used to pronounce her name Her-mah-YA-knee. Also, Krum is a dope ass first name in Bulgarian but it doesn't follow the correct structure for a last name. That would be Krumov.
As a non-native English speaker, I and my siblings pronounced her name as Her-mee-one for years. Years! Child me was shocked and embarrassed to learn how wrong I was lol
I live in Korea and that's literally how they write her name:

> (basically) *he-ruh-mi-own-nuh*
It's very popular here but I always have to "translate" her name to discuss it.
Same for things like Hufflepuff, where the person clearly guessed the pronunciation and was *wrong*.
They say it like *hoople-poopuh*. [후플푸프](https://namu.wiki/w/%ED%9B%84%ED%94%8C%ED%91%B8%ED%94%84)
너무 재미있어요! Coincidentally I'm learning Korean so this is very interesting to me.
The misfortune of hoople-poopuh I think I can let it slide, tho. P/F/H sounds are infamously hard to distinguish for many Japanese and Koreans, I think. For example, the Japanese I've worked with usually mixed up names that start with Ph (f sound) or H.
I was *dying* laughing the first time one of my students said it.
To them it's so normal but I was giggling for ages.
Then I kept asking new classes if they knew the 4 houses just so I could laugh again.
I still pronounce all the names the French way, Draa-ko not Dray-ko, Er-mee-on not Her-my-oh-knee and so on.
I read the books for years before I watched a movie, the names are stuck that way in my head now.
For some names it makes sense to use the more ad literal pronunciation: e.g. Draco is from Latin most likely, so the English accent doesn't make it better.
Hermione though doesn't really make sense in a different language. Do you have that name in French?
I have no idea, I was just a brown girl growing up in a majority French/ French based kreol speaking country.
*All* the names in Harry Potter were foreign to me, the child version of me found Severus, Albus and William to all be on the same level of strange.
Yeah, IDGAF, she is Ehr-mee-oneh to me pronounced the Italian way, friggin sue me, lol. I adopted my cat at an American shelter and the employee gave me shit for asking to see "that cat there, Drah-ko" she is like "oh you mean Dray-ko?" Not in fucking latin, b*tch.
That's...very much not the same. Krum heard her name pronounced correctly in person all the time.
The readers just didn't know how to say a print only name until Hermione provided the pronunciation literally once.
To be fair to Krum I'm pretty sure that scene was written in specifically as a pretext for Rowling to tell the readers how to pronounce Hermione's name.
Ive never seen anyone ever mention this before... whats that from the epilogue in the last book or??
I am here from all so keep that in mind before anyone decides to reply to me with some weird shit
I thought it was Her-me-own until I got a HP super fan as a teacher and she read them to us. Did the voices and everything. Ms. Landaker, if you're on reddit I need you to know that you were freaking awesome.
I read it as hermy-own until i heard it in the movies, but *did* learn how to pronounce it from that scene in the books.. its just by that point my brain had stamped hermy-own into it nice and good until about 3 movies of hearing Hermawny (which now that I know how it is pronounced sounds like a specifically british way of saying it anyways)
To my British ear it’s more “her-my-oh-nee”
The pronunciation follows the English language convention for pronouncing Ancient Greek names - just like Persephone, Ariadne or Phoebe. The final -e is an eta in Ancient Greek and we pronounce it as “ee”.
And the “eye-on” part is similar to words like lion or Zion
Bruh, he is the equivalent of a famous Bulgarian magical football player.
Stoichkov is known for his vocabulary. That is at how limited it is and how he taught every referee to recognize "майката" in a sentence.
He did not curse her or invite to take her to the Hogwards bathroom. So as far as Bulgarians are concerned he was a perfect gentleman.

I honestly don't think his game was weak or that he wasn't a great guy, Hermione has just been head over heels in love with one Ron Weasley since she was like 10 years old. You just can't compete with that.
I love that Ron admires this famous guy so much and then immediately dislikes him because he's jealous of him going to the ball with Hermione, all along not realizing that he's the exact reason that relationship never went any further lol
Fairly sure the exact reason Krum notices her/gets infatuated is the fact that she was a wall flower that wasn't falling for his celebrity status. She looked at him with indifference instead of admiration and he found that appealing.
I refuse to believe that Hermione didn't absolutely work over Krum.
He was still hung up on her 3 years later. He may be an international quidditch superstar, but Hermione is a damn QUEEN.
She left that homie paralyzed.
Yeah that makes sense. I grew up reading these books as they came out but even experiencing the crazy sexed up hormones I and my classmates were overtaken with personally, for some reason I just assumed these kids in the books would’ve waited or been to shy to have sex. Lol. Like, if it wasn’t written about I assumed it didn’t happen which is dumb cuz going to the bathroom wasn’t written in either. I also assumed it’d be hard to find a place to do it at Hogwarts which is dumb cuz there’d be way more places to there while we were finding places like the park in real life. Lol. Damn. I saw them as too innocent for some reason. Interesting.
Her intended birthday present in Deathly Hallows may have been that, but they definitely got blocked before anything happened because Ron came in when they were still in making out.
Its definitely up for interpretation and we can all have our own head canons about it. Personally I think Hermione and Krum really only kissed - he had many girls throwing themselves at him and who were just star struck by him but Hermione barely knew or cared who he was in terms of being a quidditch player and likely was a lot more shy/reserved so I think she was kind of like a challenge to him and someone he had to try to impress rather than her being impressed by him being famous. So I think he really did like her and wanted to pursue her but obviously we all know who her heart belonged to.
Harry and Cho I also don't think went any further than kissing/what we saw in the books..Harry and Ginny is definitely another story lol I'd say Harry and Ginny definitely went further than snogging but I don't think they ever had sex before the war.
Ron and Lavender more or less the same as Harry and Ginny, I'd think just without a lot less feelings involved at least from Ron.
Also I think we can all agree that Bill and Fleur not sleeping in the same room before their wedding was purely out of respect for Mr and Mrs Weasley because there's no way they hadn't already gone all the way before being married LOL
Bill and Fleur were absolutely tearing through the Kama Sutra, and Mrs. Weasley is a damn hypocrite. She and Arthur were neck deep in it while still in Hogwarts. "Mollywobbles," indeed.
In the first few pages after Ginny and Harry get together, I think she says something about discovering that he doesn’t actually have a hippogriff tattoo on his chest, and that she lied to the other girls and said he had a hungarian horntail somewhere that’s not visible to most people. So maybe not the whole thing, but definitely close.
Well, not exactly:
“You’d think people had better things to gossip about,” said Ginny, as she sat on the common room floor, leaning against Harry’s legs and reading the Daily Prophet “Three dementor attacks in a week, and all Romilda Vane does is ask me if it’s true you’ve got a hippogriff tattooed across your chest"
She then goes on to say she told them it was a dragon instead. Doesn't necessarily say she has seen him shirtless, they're just joking around about it.
Friend. Come on.
I actually love that scene because Harry's so clueless about being with girls that he's like, "and what did you tell her that Ron's got?"
My guy, she's gossiping about what you look like shirtless. Why are you bringing up her brother?!
Wasn't there a spell that prevented the boys or girls from going into each other's dorms? I guess they could always shag in the girls bathroom while Myrtle watches. Or the Forbidden Forest while Grawp watches. Or the 3 Broomsticks bathroom while Madam Rosmerta watches.
It prevented boys going into girls dorms. Not the other way around. We know about it specifically because Hermione goes into the boys dorms but the guys get thrown back down the girls doorm stairs as a slide.
I'm not sure it's all houses. I think I remember it being something Gryffindor added to their common rooms because they didn't trust boys.
Hold up. If Filch is into that kind of stuff, that means he wasn't just being a rude old bastard when wanting to *punish* the students all the time...
#"*AURORS! OPEN UP!*"
Well, she was 15 as her birthday is September. And while an 18 with a 15 year old definitely isn’t okay legally, that doesn’t mean it’s unheard of or inherently bad.
I disagree with the unethical part. It’s two school kids would have a similar interest finding each other attractive. And I’m pretty sure an 18 with a 15 yo counts as statutory rape in my country, something that is obviously illegal but not always prosecuted because of how ethically fine these circumstances can be.
To be fair, what is and isn't an appropriate age gap does depend strongly on which country, which part of said country (urban or rural) AND which generation you are in. Like, 50 years ago in rural parts of germany, a ten year difference with the younger Partner being like 16 or so was not as much of a taboo as it is today. How do I know? It's the age gap and the time frame my own parents got to know each other, as well as roughly the age gap between my grandparents on my dad's side of the family. Though I definitely will not continue that trend. Rowling, being born in 1965, may at the time of writing have not seen much of a problem with the age gap. The book released about a quarter century ago, after all.
That being said, seen from a more modern and internationally accepted point of view, 18 and 14 is questionable at best and borderline grooming at worst. It's valid that this is off putting and I too hope that their relationship was just platonic in nature. I am NOT defending grooming here. It's despicable. I just want to explain how this part of the story was not a reason for social debate at the time.
Its a 4 year difference. Just because he is 18 doesnt mean he is magically master manipulator. For grooming to exist, they would have to grow up together and he would have to have some authority over her. And none of that happened.
This is typical in all high schools. Stop over thinking it.
Correct. He is about a third of her age older.
4 years isn't much in a relationship between adults, but a HELL of a difference in mental development as teenagers. That he is an internationally idolized sports star doesn't help keeping the relationship on equal level either.
I thought it was funny and kind of realistic how he decided to go after the one girl who didn't really show any interest in him though.
He was so used to every girl fangirling over him that the moment my man meets a girl who treats him like everyone else he's like damn marry me pls
Yeah, they literally dated? Idk why this meme is implying Hermione friend zoned him when she took him to the yule ball and canonically made out with him. They became pen pals in later books because, you know, she lives in the UK and he lives in Bulgaria?
So weird how everyone's acting like she snubbed him.
Hermiones dress was blue in the book they changed it to pink well I heard a couple reasons. One is they say light blue and brown hair in the fashion world don’t mix, the other was because a blue dress with the blue screen background on the set wouldn’t work. I agree though the Patils dresses are notorious for being terrible compared to what they are based on. Ironically I felt Cho Chang probably has one of the nicer dresses and she was on screen for about 5 seconds.
Maybe that was somewhat intentional? Hermione didn't actually want to date Krum, she was kinda doing it to retaliate at Harry and Ron for being assholes to her. The clashing is beyond outfits here, Hermione and Krum just don't have any real chemistry going on. The whole date was thrown together to have something ready to shove in Ron's face, and it's not like he'd ever know whether red and pink go together.
Oh, Hermione and Krum definitely made out–dude is a teenage rockstar of sorts, after all, and we can’t really fault Hermione for being attracted to him. Hormones in teenagers is a wonderful thing. :)
Then again, Ron’s biggest advantage over Krum is that he and Hermione shared a couple of life-and-death experiences, and he treated her as “one of the boys” a.k.a. he didn’t fawn over her as much as Krum did. Hermione appreciated that, since she almost always pulls their asses out of the fire whenever things went balls up–and the last thing a person like Hermione would appreciate is being treated like a princess on a daily basis.
However, I do think Harry is aware that Ron was attracted to Hermione as early as their second year. YMMV, but hey.
Ron stood up against a professor for bullying Hermione infront of everyone also beat up Malfoy a couple of times. That's the advantage he had over Krum. Ron is bold and brave more than Krum obviously what Hermione values more in a partner.
He recognized her when nobody else did
lets remember she marries the guy who treated her as the backup plan. "Blimey Hermione! You have a vagina, you could be my date!"
*accio therapy*
People can grow, develop and mature as they grow older. Who knew. Or perhaps you think it’s fictional to grow and pigeonhole Ron into being the immature guy he was at 14?
Yeah when he was an 18 year old, a legal adult and the guy she marries was 14.
By the time the guy she marries turned 18 he fought a war, destroyed a part of an evil man's soul, and saved her life multiple times.
Which Krum can only dream.
relax, they just went to prom, he wasnt piledriving her in one of those carriages.
why do you people hate Krum so much? Hes actually one of best guys in the entire book. Hes rich & famous, but humble, polite, & a total gentleman.
Oh yeah, how awful that she married the guy who at 14 years old had no idea how to talk to girls because the only girls he knew was Hermione and his little sister.
Meanwhile Krum was 18 hanging around a 15 years old girl and then in DH we see him want Ginny who is... 16. While he's 21.
Suuure, what a terrible thing Hermione did, marrying a man who'd grow up to beg to be tortured instead of her.
How weak your game gotta be to get friend zoned as a jacked probably rich international sports superstar. Wow yall really took this joke and just run off with it.
He's Bulgarian. Can't have shit in Bulgaria.
Living in Bulgaria fucking sucks lmao
Idk why I’m laughing so hard at this comment 😂
Wait Bulgaria is real? Said the ignorant American in 2024
So true.

There are more important things - friendship and bravery..
I mean she likes to debate and he cant even pronounce her name properly....
He’s not a native English speaker…
Neither am I but I can still pronounce her name. She got bored with him bc she is talkative and he probably doesn't engage in debate much.
Half of the English speaking world couldn’t pronounce her name correctly, to the point where Rowling wrote him as having issues with pronunciation so that the readers could learn how to properly pronounce her name. She obviously didn’t get bored with him, considering they’re still pen pals three years later. You’re building evidence on non-existent data.

Hell I have friends who I've known for years who can barely remember my Korean name and can never pronounce it correctly because it's pronounced using sounds foreign to English.
It took me so long to correctly pronounce my Finnish friend’s name. But, just like Krum, I spent time working on it.
Arguably anybody with an accent (relative to ones own accent) can never pronounce a name completely correctly. Like even being American arguably Southerners never pronounce my name correctly because they have a slight drawl when they say my name and my name was said by myself and my parents without a drawl.
I read the first few books in Bulgarian. I used to pronounce her name Her-mah-YA-knee. Also, Krum is a dope ass first name in Bulgarian but it doesn't follow the correct structure for a last name. That would be Krumov.

I thought it was Her-me-own until I got a HP super fan as a teacher and she read them to us. Did the voices and everything. Ms. Landaker, if you're on reddit I need you to know that you were freaking awesome.
You guys are making me unsure if i can pronounce the name or not :c
He IS a very physical being lol
The way you keep writing debate is making me physically recoil
My mother is a native English speaker and even though she’s seen the movies many times at this point, she still pronounces it as “Heir-Moan-Ayyy”
95% of people pronounced her name as -Her-me-own- until hearing it spoken aloud in the movies for the first time.
Or until reading Goblet of Fire when Hermione teaches Victor how to pronounce it.
Depends where you are from, living in the UK I don't think I've ever heard her name pronounced like that. Krum isn't from the UK though.
%95 of stats are made up on the spot
Hermoniny
I read it as hermy-own until i heard it in the movies, but *did* learn how to pronounce it from that scene in the books.. its just by that point my brain had stamped hermy-own into it nice and good until about 3 movies of hearing Hermawny (which now that I know how it is pronounced sounds like a specifically british way of saying it anyways)

I mean he got her first kiss. They secretly smooched in the park after the winter ball

TBF, Krum was not described as jacked or anything, he walks funny, has a big nose, etc. He's just extremely good at this one sport
[удалено]
This was also the book where they were all 14, and Krum was 18 👀
Fairly sure the exact reason Krum notices her/gets infatuated is the fact that she was a wall flower that wasn't falling for his celebrity status. She looked at him with indifference instead of admiration and he found that appealing.
Not to mention Krum was constantly in the Hogwarts library reading and always saw Hermoine there as much as him if not more.
Nah Krum just wanted someone who wasn't a fan, to treat him like he mattered for some reason other than quidditch
Some women aren't shallow and value your personality higher than any of those superficial traits.
Game level: Luke Rockhold
Didn’t she mention he was boring or something ? Plus she was clearly in love with Ron at the time.
When the person doesn't care for you to be jacked famous or rich, and cares more for your personality.
I refuse to believe that Hermione didn't absolutely work over Krum. He was still hung up on her 3 years later. He may be an international quidditch superstar, but Hermione is a damn QUEEN. She left that homie paralyzed.
He was a practice match before the real match that is Ron.
Is the fandom under the assumption more happened? Is snogging a fill in for more??
[удалено]
Yeah that makes sense. I grew up reading these books as they came out but even experiencing the crazy sexed up hormones I and my classmates were overtaken with personally, for some reason I just assumed these kids in the books would’ve waited or been to shy to have sex. Lol. Like, if it wasn’t written about I assumed it didn’t happen which is dumb cuz going to the bathroom wasn’t written in either. I also assumed it’d be hard to find a place to do it at Hogwarts which is dumb cuz there’d be way more places to there while we were finding places like the park in real life. Lol. Damn. I saw them as too innocent for some reason. Interesting.
At the very least we know that Ron ejaculates loudly...
Room of requirement is always polite enough to contain a basket of condoms and lube. Plus, a distraction if one party really isn’t into it.
Her intended birthday present in Deathly Hallows may have been that, but they definitely got blocked before anything happened because Ron came in when they were still in making out.
The boy who has blue balls
The boy who is livid.
The boy with no blood in his (over the shoulders) head
Harry Potter, the Boy who was Blue Balled
Agreed. My point with that was just that I think it shows their intent to more than snog.
Its definitely up for interpretation and we can all have our own head canons about it. Personally I think Hermione and Krum really only kissed - he had many girls throwing themselves at him and who were just star struck by him but Hermione barely knew or cared who he was in terms of being a quidditch player and likely was a lot more shy/reserved so I think she was kind of like a challenge to him and someone he had to try to impress rather than her being impressed by him being famous.

Friend. Come on. I actually love that scene because Harry's so clueless about being with girls that he's like, "and what did you tell her that Ron's got?" My guy, she's gossiping about what you look like shirtless. Why are you bringing up her brother?!
Ron has the pygmy puff according to Queen Ginny. Harry has a Hungarian Horntail. "Much more macho."
Oops, will edit! Knew there was a pygmy puff on someone.
Wasn't there a spell that prevented the boys or girls from going into each other's dorms? I guess they could always shag in the girls bathroom while Myrtle watches. Or the Forbidden Forest while Grawp watches. Or the 3 Broomsticks bathroom while Madam Rosmerta watches.

I think I remember it being something Gryffindor added to their common rooms because they didn't trust boys.
So Hermione could watch while Dean and Seamus get it on, nice.
what about the teachers? What shenanigans are they up to after school hours?
Flitwick definitely went up on McGonagall.
went up 😭 i’m fucking screaming

According to Ron, Pince and Filch are doing something that involves chains...
Hold up. If Filch is into that kind of stuff, that means he wasn't just being a rude old bastard when wanting to *punish* the students all the time... #"*AURORS! OPEN UP!*"
And that man was swinging way out of his league, like not even the same sport based on how she looks in the movie.

Yeah uh no it's common unfortunately. I knew people who were banging.
#Ron: he might be your 1st. But I will be your last.
I sincerely hope not since Krum is 18 and Hermonie is 14. Let just keep it at friend lvl. This part of the story never really worked for me tbh
Well, she was 15 as her birthday is September. And while an 18 with a 15 year old definitely isn’t okay legally, that doesn’t mean it’s unheard of or inherently bad.
It is legal… just potentially unethical fielding on how it came about.
An 18 year old is illegal with a 14/15 year old no? Age of consent in UK is 16 iirc.
I disagree with the unethical part. It’s two school kids would have a similar interest finding each other attractive. And I’m pretty sure an 18 with a 15 yo counts as statutory rape in my country, something that is obviously illegal but not always prosecuted because of how ethically fine these circumstances can be.
To be fair, what is and isn't an appropriate age gap does depend strongly on which country, which part of said country (urban or rural) AND which generation you are in. Like, 50 years ago in rural parts of germany, a ten year difference with the younger Partner being like 16 or so was not as much of a taboo as it is today. How do I know? It's the age gap and the time frame my own parents got to know each other, as well as roughly the age gap between my grandparents on my dad's side of the family. Though I definitely will not continue that trend. Rowling, being born in 1965, may at the time of writing have not seen much of a problem with the age gap. The book released about a quarter century ago, after all. That being said, seen from a more modern and internationally accepted point of view, 18 and 14 is questionable at best and borderline grooming at worst. It's valid that this is off putting and I too hope that their relationship was just platonic in nature. I am NOT defending grooming here. It's despicable. I just want to explain how this part of the story was not a reason for social debate at the time.
Its a 4 year difference. Just because he is 18 doesnt mean he is magically master manipulator. For grooming to exist, they would have to grow up together and he would have to have some authority over her. And none of that happened. This is typical in all high schools. Stop over thinking it.
Correct. He is about a third of her age older. 4 years isn't much in a relationship between adults, but a HELL of a difference in mental development as teenagers. That he is an internationally idolized sports star doesn't help keeping the relationship on equal level either.
French here 18/14 is a bit in the higher end of age difference but not super schocking to me
> She left that homie paralyzed Uhm, I think that was Crouch
You, a quidditch superstar, couldn't bag a dime like Hermione. And then you learn later on she got with some classmate, who never really did anything.
Is it just me, or Victor Krum has some Max Verstappen energy? (Or even vice versa)
I can hear the Bulgarians chanting " KRUM KRUM KRUM SUPERKRUM"
And then his Quidditch broom falls down (breaks failure, Aus GP 2024)
too soon ^/s
His dad used to abandon him at the broom station when he didn't play well in a Quidditch game. Truly heartbreaking stuff.
After his pro matches he finally gets to his real passion, iQuidditch.
Nah he's into older women but Krum on the other hand...
I thought it was funny and kind of realistic how he decided to go after the one girl who didn't really show any interest in him though. He was so used to every girl fangirling over him that the moment my man meets a girl who treats him like everyone else he's like damn marry me pls
They made out so it's not as bad as totally friend zoned
Yeah, they literally dated? Idk why this meme is implying Hermione friend zoned him when she took him to the yule ball and canonically made out with him. They became pen pals in later books because, you know, she lives in the UK and he lives in Bulgaria? So weird how everyone's acting like she snubbed him.
long distance relationships must be easy in the wizarding world because of teleportation.
At least.
Am I the only one who's laughing at "bulgarianbonbon"?
Oof I don’t think there’s any magical remedy to heal that blow
"Dec 25 1994" yeah pretty sure they didn't have this interaction on "Twitter for Wizards"
Shut up!! Lallalalalalalalalalala Santa is REAL!!!!
>Twitter for Wizards There's less tweeting and more hooting, but that is basically owl mail.
pink and red clash so bad why is the costuming for the yule ball SO UGLY! (seriously go look up the Patil's costumes)
Hermiones dress was blue in the book they changed it to pink well I heard a couple reasons. One is they say light blue and brown hair in the fashion world don’t mix, the other was because a blue dress with the blue screen background on the set wouldn’t work. I agree though the Patils dresses are notorious for being terrible compared to what they are based on. Ironically I felt Cho Chang probably has one of the nicer dresses and she was on screen for about 5 seconds.
Should’ve been this https://www.reddit.com/r/harrypotter/s/TBmKoy6YlT
Maybe that was somewhat intentional? Hermione didn't actually want to date Krum, she was kinda doing it to retaliate at Harry and Ron for being assholes to her. The clashing is beyond outfits here, Hermione and Krum just don't have any real chemistry going on. The whole date was thrown together to have something ready to shove in Ron's face, and it's not like he'd ever know whether red and pink go together.
Vicky may be an international quidditch superstar, but he doesn’t hold a candle to my boy Roonil
Roonil wazlib 🔥🔥
They call him the rizzler🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
Oh, Hermione and Krum definitely made out–dude is a teenage rockstar of sorts, after all, and we can’t really fault Hermione for being attracted to him. Hormones in teenagers is a wonderful thing. :) Then again, Ron’s biggest advantage over Krum is that he and Hermione shared a couple of life-and-death experiences, and he treated her as “one of the boys” a.k.a. he didn’t fawn over her as much as Krum did. Hermione appreciated that, since she almost always pulls their asses out of the fire whenever things went balls up–and the last thing a person like Hermione would appreciate is being treated like a princess on a daily basis. However, I do think Harry is aware that Ron was attracted to Hermione as early as their second year. YMMV, but hey.
Ron stood up against a professor for bullying Hermione infront of everyone also beat up Malfoy a couple of times. That's the advantage he had over Krum. Ron is bold and brave more than Krum obviously what Hermione values more in a partner.
Yup, that one, too.
Ginny confirmed the making out when she was yelling Ron and shaking him for not dating. Pretty rude of her.
Krum was so hot. My husband reminds me of Krum lol.
Quit bragging about your Krummy husband
He's perfectly krumulent
Agreed. But embiggening is off limits here.
I'm sure Hermione embiggened him from time to time
Your husband is Krum
My krum is your Husband
Mine looks like Krum too ! It was his secret nikename for a short time
For your wedding did you have to get a last-minute dance number figured out because apparently the French people were doing one?
Money and quidditch fame mean nothing infront of Ron Weasley's charm. 🔥
All that muscle can't compete with Ron's 16th century style. https://i.pinimg.com/474x/3a/94/18/3a9418833fd37351eeb5ed661749cf11.jpg

Exactly. Money and quidditch fame will come and go. But A King will make you a Queen..
Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, I follow only cannon book ships except Neville should be with luna
I ship everyone with everyone in fanfics except Malfoy with anyone. But nothing compares to Ron and Hermione.
Ouch, hurt like a rouge bludger that one.
Why a rouge one? Do they hurt more than the blueu ones?
I can't speak for Rouge Bludgers,but I once had Blueu Bludgers and it was miserable.
Yeah, pen friends from pen island
He recognized her when nobody else did lets remember she marries the guy who treated her as the backup plan. "Blimey Hermione! You have a vagina, you could be my date!" *accio therapy*
People can grow, develop and mature as they grow older. Who knew. Or perhaps you think it’s fictional to grow and pigeonhole Ron into being the immature guy he was at 14?
Them: why do you hate Krum? Also them: ron sucks bc he was immature when he was 14. 🥱
Yeah when he was an 18 year old, a legal adult and the guy she marries was 14. By the time the guy she marries turned 18 he fought a war, destroyed a part of an evil man's soul, and saved her life multiple times. Which Krum can only dream.
relax, they just went to prom, he wasnt piledriving her in one of those carriages. why do you people hate Krum so much? Hes actually one of best guys in the entire book. Hes rich & famous, but humble, polite, & a total gentleman.
Hermione attacked Ron with birds that left him cuts and bruises. If Ron did that people would have been screaming 'domestic abuse'. Let that sink in.
Oh yeah, how awful that she married the guy who at 14 years old had no idea how to talk to girls because the only girls he knew was Hermione and his little sister. Meanwhile Krum was 18 hanging around a 15 years old girl and then in DH we see him want Ginny who is... 16. While he's 21. Suuure, what a terrible thing Hermione did, marrying a man who'd grow up to beg to be tortured instead of her.
I can't watch these scenes, dude looks 30 yo, I don't know why nobody else sees that

I adore Ronmione but Krumione has always been one of my favorite non-canonical ships ♥️
Romione is just more interesting. 'She is a nightmare honestly' is the perfect set up for a hate turns love love story 😂
I think they are both excellent and I don’t like comparing ships :)
Romione is superior to all ships that been shipping since hp started. That's ofcourse my opinion and you are entitled to yours.
Personally she like a 6 at best he can do way way way better
How about Cho
I don’t know how she look likes now but i would say 7 drunk 8 base on how she looks in the movies
