| MEEE! I think they will, I've thought say ever since I read GoF (says she who's writing a Hermione/George fan fic lol) and if that JK interview isn't proof, I don't know what is, anyway, it was on Newsround (british kids news show) well, JK was on Newsround, and she said that she's only a few weeks away from finshing the adjustments to tOoF, (the Order of the Phoenix) so we should have the book sometime in march, coz she also said it'd take 5 months, so it'll be march/april time. I've lost what I was saying, oh yeah, so my point is, we'll only have to wait 5 months to find out for certain, and what's 5 months more when you've been waiting several years? (I've forgotten when GoF came out, I think it was 2 years ago)

I'm pretty certain that SOMETHING will happen between them. There's the quote you mentioned about Ron not realising it, and also JKR has heavily hinted that Hermione fancies Ron - when asked if Hermione fancies Ron, she said, "The answer to that is in Goblet of Fire!", and put two little "wink" smilies ( ) at the end. Look after the second task - when Fleur kisses Ron and cheek, Hermione "looked simply furious" - but we saw no reaction from her when Fleur kissed Harry on the cheek moments before. Also, at the end, Ron gives up and asks Krum for his autograph, and Hermione "turned away, smiling". Very sweet. There's also the fact that she doesn't kiss Ron on the cheek - Chris Columbus says that it's because there's a tension, and Hermione knows that if she kisses Ron, both of them would get embarrassed, because of the way they may feel about each other. She has no problems kissing Harry on the cheek, because as JKR says, Harry and Hermione are "very platonic friends."
However, everything is ambiguous - you could also say that she kisses Harry because there is some deep feeling that even Hermione isn't aware of, although the fact that they are only 14 makes this unlikely. Also, we don't SEE Hermione's reaction when Fleur kisses Harry - although it's fairly safe to assume that she's annoyed about Ron. There is a school of thought that says that Harry fancies Hermione because he notices her as "pretty" at the Ball. I think this is VERY unlikely - he still fancies Cho, and has no problems admitting that. The books are from his point-of-view, and if he fancied someone, we'd know about it. But he may change his mind about Hermione one day ...
The question about Ron and Hermione is, if they get together, how long will it last? It would certainly be very entertaining, watching them bickering and arguing all the time, but could they sustain a relationship? It might fail, and Harry and Hermione might get together afterwards. But there is still the Cho Chang situation to be sorted out in the next book, and the little ambiguous hint by JKR that Harry may fall for Ginny:
Q. Will Harry ever notice the long-suffering Ginny Weasley?
JKR. You'll see ... poor Ginny, eh? ...
Still, I'm not a shipper, and I'm not really bothered who ends up with who. I just think that at the moment, Ron and Hermione looks fairly likely. The most important things to remember are that:
1. WHoever ends up with who, JKR will write it brilliantly.
2. JKR has said that all three will be going out with someone by Book VII, so whatever arrangement it is, they'll be happy. There probably won't be lots of messy love-triangles - JKR said that everything will be done in a humourous nature.
3. These are NOT romance books - in the scheme of things, the romances so far are fairly trivial. The only way I could see them becoming important is if Ginny has been REALLY affected by the Chamber (JKR said that something very important happened in Book II that we don't know about yet - does this relate to Ginny? She is going to play a "larger role" in Book V, after all), and that if she and Harry fall in love, there could be some way for the two of them to fight Voldemort.
But on the whole, these are fantasy/adventure novels, not romance.
Ron is brave, Mr Kloves ... B-R-A-V-E!!!

Despite of the fact that HP books are not romance stories, I will just share my views about this topic.But first, let us be factual. These are all the interviews of JKR and Chris Columbus concerning Ron and Hermione and some Harry and Hermione.
from TLC (October 2002)
Chris Columbus regarding the non-hug scene between R/H.
TLC: So it is foreshadowing.
CC: "It is foreshadowing, yeah. I just love the idea that the two of them, that there's an impending crush. And it's such a real thing for kids at that age. For instance, I asked Emma to hug Dan, and she said, 'No way,' and that was the day she was the most nervous being on the set. She was like, 'I am not going to hug him, no I'm not.' And I said, 'You've been petrified, this is one of your best friends, if not your best friend, you have to hug him,' I said, 'but you won't hug Ron, because that's where the tension is."
also
Time Magazine (October 28, 2002)
"Ron and Hermione's romance is just beginning to blossom in this movie."
.....and these quotes are from JKR herself:
From Barnes & Noble Web Site Chat with JK Rowling ( September 8, 1999)
Question: Dear Ms. Rowling, I'd like to ask if there would be a lot of romances between the characters in the upcoming books?
JKR: "Good question. I'm having so much fun writing Book 4 because for the first time Harry, Ron, and Hermione are starting to recognize boys and girls as boys and girls. Everyone is in love with the wrong people. Let no one say my books lack realism".
(Hhhmmm...hmmm...The wrong people could be - Fleur and Krum or even Cho. These people came to my mind)
From Barnes and Noble Chat (Oct 20, 2000):
Question: Is it just me, or was something going on between Ron and Hermione during the last half of Goblet of Fire? I love your books, by the way, and two of them I've read straight through cover to cover in under 24 hours.
JKR: "Well done on the reading speed! yes, something's "going on," but Ron doesn't realize it yet. Typical boy."
From BBC "Red Nose Day" Online Chat (March 12, 2001):
Question: Does Hermione like Ron as more than a friend?
JKR: "The answer to that is in Goblet of Fire!"
From Oct 1999 National Press Club Author's Luncheon
Question: Do Harry and Hermione go on a date?
JKR. "No. They're very platonic friends. But I won't answer for anyone else!" Nudge nudge, wink wink
(hmmm....hmmm... she already gave her answers for R/H and H/H future relationship. But wouldn`t like to answer for other possible partnership like H/G, H/D, D/G etc. stc...)
From Scholastic Online Chat Transcript (February 3, 2000)
Is Harry Potter ever going to fall in love with Hermione or is he going to fall in love with Ginny Weasley?
In Book IV Harry does decide he likes a girl, but it's not Hermione or Ginny. However, he's only 14, so there's plenty of time for him to change his mind. ;-)
(Since JKR confrimed that Harry and Hermione are VERY platonic friends then there's a possibility that Harry's affection towards Ginny might change. Yes! he's only 14)
From BBC "Red Nose Day" Online Chat (March 12, 2001):
Question: Will Harry ever notice the long-suffering Ginny Weasley?
JK Rowling: "You'll see... poor Ginny, eh?."
Ok, we know that JKR said that "Ginny Weasley [little sister to Harry's best friend, Ron] will play more of a role in Book Five."
.....very interesting
and also
"Poor Ginny, languishing in love for Harry, and he's merrily asking out other girls right under her nose! But that's just a boy thing."
OK!OK! I know! H/G is another story.
AOL Live from Edinburgh :May 4, 2000
UKMCLive: Goldhook is looking to the future... Ms. Rowling, can you discuss the possiblity of a central character dying? AND as Harry mature's does a love interest develop between he and Hermonine? Thank you.
JKR Live: Well, as I said, there will be deaths, but I am giving nothing away there, as for Harry & Hermione... d'you really think they're suited?
(Maybe she's wondering why most people still think of H/H despite of previous interviews she made hinting for R/H) Since Harry and Hermione are lead characters in the series, people think they will end up together or something will develop between them in a romantic sense. But, I'm not one of them.
Personally, I see them better off as Good Best friends because I don't find them suited in a romantic sense. Just to give you insights.
Why Heremione and Harry are NOT right for each other
Anyway,As I see it, based on JKR's interviews, she dismissed the idea of H/H but hinting for R/H. Besides,JKR planned already what will happen in the series including partnerships.We just have to wait patiently.
In regards of the movie, Chris Columbus said that in COS, Ron and Hermione romance is blossoming.It's the reason of non-hug between the two. Read the above quote.
Lastly, we are all reading the same books , aren' we?Again,HP are not romance books:-)
As of GOF, it's crystal clear.....Ron and Hermione like each other (though they have funny ways to show it).
To know more about these two when together(with or without Harry around)
Ron and Hermione: Good Friends
ENJOY READING!!!

Now I've never seen THOSE before!!! It's obvious that JKR has great sympathy with Ginny - she said Ron doesn't realise how he feels about Hermione yet. Well, if Harry became closer friends with Ginny, would he realise how HE feels about HER? In another interview, she said that Kings Cross station is the most romantic in the world - where was it Harry and Ginny first met? Exactly.
And as for that quote about Harry and Hermione - are they brother and sister? I know, it's far too Star Wars - but it seems that JKR, at least, doesn't think they're right for each other. And she's quite an important person to feel that way! Still, she hasn't definately RULED OUT Harry and Hermione - but she's come very, very close. I know that with JKR you should never assume anything, but the evidence for Ron/Hermione is quite convincing, given what Chris also said.
Ron is brave, Mr Kloves ... B-R-A-V-E!!!

I've read this particular JKR's facts and this part caught my attention.
"Harry Potter's affection for King's Cross comes from the fact that J. K. Rowling's parents first met on a train as it left the famous London station."
This is the reason why she said that King's Cross is the most romantic place in the world. Harry and Ginny had first met at King's Cross station. Ginny is actually the "first and only girl" Harry had met in King's Cross station. (Chapter 6,pages 103,108,109, HPSS-paperback) . Hermione appeared when he was already inside the train during their half-way drive to Hogwarts. (chapter 6,page 116, HPSS-paperback). Could this be a good H/G sign? If that so, It seems JKR is putting a little bit of her life in her books. Remember she made Harry's b-day like her bday?

That's true.When JKR responded with "d'you really think they're suited?" , It's a very, very close way to dismiss the Harry and Hermione idea and JKR herself seems doesn't think that they are suited. I am listening to JKR's interview (for the nth time)stating that Harry and Hermione are very platonic friends. I'm wondering why she actually picked this particular question to answer among other questions written in different papers. I think, it's her another way of dismissing the H/H idea. She's already aware that people will ask for other partnerships because of her "very platonic friends reply" and ended her answer with "But I won't answer for anyone else!" Nudge nudge, wink wink."
Click here to hear the audio. As she stated, she already planned and knew what will happen in the future books. Her answers were not based on the next book only but future books.
Anyway, I've read somewhere else about other JK Rowling's interview stating that Harry would go out with someone that had been in all of other books, but it wouldn't be Hermione. Hmmmm.....hmmmm....? I'm trying to find again this particular article so I can give you the exact source.My files are getting chaotic
So, currently.....it is still crystal clear for a Ron and Hermione relationship.For Harry and Ginny...there's a chance.
