Hello people..!!!
Just a simple and honest question:
What made you sail on the SHIP that you're so fond of today? I mean, did Canon influence you for R/H? Or did... something else make you lead toward H/H?
For me, after reading GoF, I thought that I was a R/H SHIPper. (Let the word "thought" play a big role) As time went on, I got into writing fanfiction and my first fic (that I have no intention of publishing because quite frankly, it isnt that good...) didn't really have any intention of being a H/H or R/H fic. It was just a fic of my portrayal of how Voldemort was going to be killed. But suddenly, without me realizing it, I started to write a lot of things going on with Harry and Hermione and suddenly, their very strong friendship turned into something more. ( I think that we can all agree, despite SHIP preferences, that Harry and Hermione DO have a nice & strong friendship right?)
Since then, I've been writing H/H fics. For me, the two of them together seemed so... right. It's amazing how I can write about those two and make it match and come all together. It's no wonder there are many H/H SHIPpers out there. They just...work well with each other and are so compatible.
This thread isn't ment to bash other SHIP preferences, this is just to get to know how people got into their SHIPness. This is just a curious HP fan that wants to know how his other HP friends got into the ship that they support today. So if you wish, please tell.
On a more personal note... IMHO, even though I'm a VERY STRONG Harry/Hermione SHIPper, I think that Ron and Hermione will end up together in Canon. But... I can and I'm not afraid to say that it'll be more than likely, that even though Ron and Hermione may end up together, Harry will inevitably develop "more than friends" feelings for Hermione nonetheless...

First of all, welcome to the board! When I was reading the books, I didn't really have a preference for a couple. One day, I found a message board. I read what people who like the Harry/Hermione pairing thought of it and slowly, I began to like that pairing a lot. Now, it's my favorite pairing and if Harry and Hermione don't end up together, I will be very sad.

Hey there... Don't get yourself down ok? I will be sad too along with the other H/H SHIPmates out there. (There's still hope though! I mean, we have 3 more books to go and so many things can happen right?) To cheer you up... Did you hear or see the adorable and cute hug that Harry and Hermione are going to share in CoS? No? Well how about a pic? GOD I LOVE THAT!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I see a board dedicated to the good ship H/Hr, and naturally I fall in to support my fellow ship mates How did I become an H/Hr shipper? Well, I saw the movie before I read the books, and that threw me straight to it. The movie is said to have a slant towards H/Hr, and the second movie appears to be following in the footsteps of the first one .
After seeing the movie I was a H/Hr shipper for life. I didn't ever question it while reading the books. JKR is an executive producer of the movie too. Its nice to know she approved the hug scene
As to the question of will it turn out Ron/Hermione? I seriously doubt it. I can see a relationship coming - sure, but it's not, in my opinion, going to last. There are quotes in favor and quotes against. Of the quotes in favour, there is a quote about the first crush not happening. So that rules out Harry/Cho. But when it applies to Ron and Hermione, one must ask firstly, if Hermione had a crush on Ron before she did on Victor - and was that really a crush?, and secondly, if Ron's typsyness around Fleur is because of her Vella charm [as Harry fell for in the quidditch world cup] or if it is a true crush. Anyway, that point is really up to JKR.
My second 'quote' that I found interesting was an online chat in which JKR says, when asked by a yahooligan user, she confirms that something is going on between Ron and Hermione, but Ron doesn't realise it yet. If Ron and Hermione were going to settle with each other, I have serious doubts that Rowling would announce it. She likes to keep things mysterious and I think that its far too early on in the story. She wants the Harry Potter world to be a lot like the real word, and so she'll give them good and bad experiences. I seriously don't think it'll work, especially the idiotic "hey yeah Hermione, you are a girl." bit on Ron's behalf.
Personally, the main reason that I think makes Harry/Hermione such a great couple and Ron/Hermione such a weak one is respect for each other, and each others ideas. Harry doesn't condeem Hermione's ideas or call them stupid, even if they are extremely far-fetched, and she is insistent about them [EG house-elves]. If you respect each others ideas you don't argue the way that Ron/Hermione do - always wanting to win. They go about it blindly and have no respect for the other's ideas. People that respect each others ideas go about it where the two of them throw ideas at each other, and the two make a resolution, taking each others ideas into account. If nothing else, they at least respect and listen to the other's arguement, even if they can't be swung around to their point of view. So while Harry and Hermione have disagreed over things occasionally [err, can't think of any specific examples off the top of my head], they don't argue or try to prove the other right, and they don't condeem the others ideas. Hermione basically slaps Ron in the face with her "Maybe you should have asked first" line, but Ron really does deserve it, because he seems to think that Hermione is on his 24 hour service, and will wait for him and do whatever he wants. He has no respect for the fact that she may be attracted to Victor, and basically accused her of going out with the enemy.
Keep H/Hr shipping, it ain't over till its over! James.

I am like Caro (harryandhermione). I didn't care when I was reading the books, but then when I started joining MB's and reading who other people thought should get together, I started to like this pairing more than any of the others. At first (this was like 9 months ago when I joined my first MB) I started to like the H/R pairing.... but I am trying to forget that fact because now if they get together I will be VERY sad and mad!!!

Well, I will also be very sad and mad if Ron and Hermione get together. I like couples who are very close and who never fight. Ron and Hermione always fight so that's why I don't like that pairing.

Yeah, me too. Ron and Hermiones relationship wouldn't last long at all, and I think it would be a big mistake if they decided to get together. I think Hermi likes Harry more anyways because of that kiss, so thats good... and they almost never fight and if they do they always are friends again afterwards.

Also, I think that Harry respect Hermione lot more than Ron does.

Where does that picture of the hug occur in the movie? Like what scene from the book? I love it! It's soooo cute and fitting. I mean those two look so naturally sweet hugging each other. ;D Has J.K. Rowling ever wrote a scene of Ron and Hermione hugging? All that sticks out in my mind are Harry and Hermione's hugs, like before he goes through the fire in the the first book. She gets so worried about him and hugs him. I wish they hadn't cut that! But I love that picture that was posted! Sooooo sweet.

I think I know what scene it is. At the end of the book, there is a scene where Hermione runs up to Harry...

Harry and Hermione are just so right, they respect each other. and Harry didn't even get that mad when she alerted McGonagal to his broom. he understood that she did it becuase she cared for him and didn't want to see him hurt.

That's true. Brooms and Quidditch are very important for Harry. But he still understood Hermione. A lot of people would had been more angry than him if they were in his situation...

You guys had some interesting posts . . wonder where you all went?? Oh well, anyways, my preferred ship is (OF COURSE) none other than the HMS Pumpkin Pie. I am a proud H/Hr shipper, and the self-proclaimed Keeper of Countless Harry/Hermione Ramblings. I can argue with a brick wall for hours on end when I'm fired up about my ship. ;D ;D Alas . .that's still an odd title. . . oh well, it will have to do until I can think of a better one.
