Looking at the two options, I'd say neither...because if both men love me, I'd expect them to buck up and put their ass on the line to save me

But since this is a Harry Potter reference here are my two cents.

There is a huge difference between the two scenarios. Harry was about to die to save every one he loved, which included Ginny. It was a selfless act in order to stop innocent people from being murdered. So I don't see anything wrong in him wanting to kiss Ginny one last time.

Ron was not as strong as Bellatrix so he knew he couldn't defeat her. The only thing, however, he could do was offer himself for torture which he did. That too was a selfless act. But Bellatrix was a sadist with deep-rooted hatred for Muggles.

However, coming to the Harry Potter ships, the films tried to create this image with certain scenes that Harry and Hermione was possible, for example:

1. when Hermione recovers from being Petrified she hugs Harry

2. Rita Skeeter's managing to get a picture of Hermione hugging Harry before the first round of the Triwizard Tournament and pass it off as romance

3. Hermione kissing Harry's forehead after the second round of the Triwizard Tournament.

4. Time-turner scenes in Prisoner of Azkaban

In the books, they have a strictly platonic relationship but they do love each other dearly. As a kid I always thought Harry and Hermione should have ended up together, but now I feel JK did a brilliant job in keeping them platonic, because not every boy-girl friendship has to culminate into love.

I didn't mind Harry and Ginny in the books because you can see how they started liking each other and it gradually turned into love. They did have things in common, like Quidditch. Like from gradually noticing Ginny to getting jealous over seeing her with Dean, and then them getting together. The movie did not have enough build up.

Coming to Ron, I never felt he was a good match for Hermione. I disliked him immensely in the movies due to his annoying and nagging nature. I was neutral towards Ron in the books though.

Although I do feel Hermione and Ron were not an appropriate match. I can imagine they would have dated for a while and then gone their separate ways because they were two very different individuals. Hermione is intellectually brilliant and would want that from her partner. Not talking about books and knowledge at all times, but someone who would intellectually stimulate her. I don't see Ron doing that and definitely don't see Movie Ron doing that!

The only character from the franchise I felt was perfect for Hermione was *controversy incoming* Draco Malfoy. He check boxes every characteristic that I imagined Hermione's life partner would have. Coming to him being a Death Eater and belonging to a Pure Blood manic Family, he could have easily had his redemption from Book 5. JK could have made him into a character who understood what his family was doing was extremely wrong, and then stealthily changing sides. They would have been the modern day Lily and Snape, and it would have been good to see someone from the Dark Side shunning the inhumane ways and fighting alongside Harry.

i am not saying it harry rembering ginny was anything wrong ofcourse it was not i just used that as an arguement to show how little sense they make

draco would intellectually stimulate hermione and ron would not? i completely utterly absolutely disagree it was ron who was the chess champion neither harry nor hermione and certainly not draco could match upto to him and chess is game of genius

if hermione was book smart ron was street smart hermione was more mature but ron was more charming and easy to get along with

keep in mind in the first book it was ron who saved the day during the troll incident hermione was frozen to the ground ron came up with wingardium leviosa and he came up on his own unlike shown in the movies hermione did not prompt him

also during the battle with death eaters ron perfrormed very well as accounted by nymphodora who was a trained auror

even in mafoy manor it was ron who disarmed bellatrix ron who saved hermione from greyback so no he is plenty strong to face bellatrix

all this show how great ron works under pressure unlike him hermione is more flustered while hermione certainly knows more charms when it comes to actual duel ron is way better

hell ron is better than draco when it comes to duel keep in mind that draco was snivelling like a fool infront of death eaters until ron and harry come and save his life compare this to ron s brilliant performance in duel and you will have your answer who was better

ron and hermione they complete eachother they bring things into eachother s life that the other did not have she makes him more sensible he makes her more fun she knows all the trick in the book but it is still him who works under pressure

draco could never match upto either in terms of intelect conscience as human etc

dramione is a pretty toxic ship he bullied her for years and found the idea of her assault funny

he can certainly redeem himself but i dont see hermione ever falling for him

going from ron to draco is just like lowering yiur standards

she did harry-hermione making out was just ron s nightmare not real at one point in the story ron lives his biggest fears in life and this was one of them

In the long run, Romione wouldn't work in my opinion. Ron had many good qualities, but I don't see that ship sailing and that's strictly my viewpoint.

Me thinking of Dramione has nothing to do with the ship itself. I had no idea of the online fandom until I Googled it. I was a child when the books and movies came out and was unaware of "ships". I read the books much later, when I was in my late teen years, after the movies had already come out and I had seen them in bits. That's when I thought of Dramione. All I could see was a new storyline which was possible and could have worked out.

Draco was intelligent, trained by Snape, and was 2nd in class right behind Hermione. Albeit he used his brains for wrong things like creating the Potter Stinks buttons which got worse if someone tried to fix them. So he knew his spells and that had to be a complex one since it was not easily broken.

And if Snape, an adult, can get redemption after bullying Harry through his pre-teen thru teenage years, why not a brainwashed child?

Romantically it would've been an interesting angle, but that's my opinion.

You feel Draco is a downgrade, I don't.

Maybe that wouldn't be the case if JK had gone down that path and shown the readers much more about Draco.

that s thing hermione didnt always saved the day in movies they gave hermione many a moments that was not hers that actually belonged to ron or harry they turned her to be so perfect that it actually took the nuances that hermione had

she is very lovable the way she is i adore her because of how i much i relate to her in books there was no need to give her ron or harry s moments specially rons to put her onto a pedestal

i had a huge debate with harmony shipper hence the question

i agree mother s love is one of the purest love out there and it saved harry twice

i am not much of snape fan honestly he has his own set of crimes

i like remus though i think he was great and mcgonall and dumbeldore though he is very infamous 😆

Remus was a so such a coward though I empathise with him.

He knew about the secret passages and that sirius was a animagus but never told dumbledore.

When he had his son, he was ready to leave Tonks & go with Harry until Harry blasted him. He was selfish.

Snape was horrible but he was still selfless in some ways.

I don't like the hp movies because they turned ron into a cliched side kick for laughs, book Ron is way better and nuanced, flawed but not a caricature. As far as harry and Hermione go, Hermione never showed any romantic interest in harry, snape, draco and whoever they ship her with, she always had a thing for ron and he had for her. Ron did fumble at times but i think he rose to occasion when it mattered. I do like them together and choose to ignore the blackhole of rewrites and fanfiction .

Ron and hermoine 🥳

double post plese ignore it 😆

i personally think ron was hermione s perfect match she could not have found someone more worthy of her love i mean he was ready to kill and die for her taht the zeinth of love

and same goes for ron could not have found a better match than hermione the way she understood all his insecurities without him spelling them out

draco was not second in class he was second in potions but that s all

both ron and harry got 7 o.w.l and draco had only three

i am not much fond of snape but i am sure draco could have been redeemed he did became more tolerant after the war and married a beautiful woman built a good life for himself etc

all i am saying that i dont see hermione falling for draco even if he redeems himself its not a neccesity that hermione should fall for him just because he redeemed himself because that just presents hermione as some sort of trophy

why should harry get hermione ? because he was the choosen one

why should draco get hermione ? because he redeemed himself

he redeemmed himself ok but so what??

a person who is bullied might or might not forgive his/her tormentor let say hermione does eventually forgives him but i dont ever see her falling for him that just to far fetched

hermione always had a thing for ron from second year draco was just not her type redeem or not

snape was anything but selfless he was selfish that man was awful

and remus had his insecurities but he was not coward and certainly not selfish
