The Real Reason Harry Potter And Hermione Didn’t End Up Together

Why Harry Potter Ended Up With Ginny Weasley Instead Of "Best Friend" Hermione Granger.

Many readers, fans and Potterheads were disappointed by the fact that Harry and Hermione didn’t end up together. This left people questioning why Harry and Hermione never dated or got close to marriage. Keep in mind that you aren’t alone in this query. J.K. Rowling has thought about this issue herself and agrees that Harry and Hermione would’ve been a better couple.

Even though J.K. Rowling has confirmed that Harry and Hermione would’ve been a better match, that doesn’t mean that’s how the story should’ve ended. Afterall, not everyone ends up with their soulmate, even if they’re right in front of them. Hermione and Harry were always great friends and may not have wanted to sacrifice that by dating. Also, it was always clear from the start to the end that Hermione had a crush on Ron. Ron and Hermione shared a connection that Harry and Hermione didn’t.

People also forget that just because Harry was the better match, that doesn’t mean Ron was a bad match. Hermione and Ron shared something special too. They made up for each other's flaws and they had a strong physical and emotional connection. If you consider that, you can see how Ron isn’t all that bad, he just might not have been as perfect a match as Harry.

Watch the video to learn all the facts about why Harry and Hermione never dated. You can decide if Ron or Harry is a better match for Hermione for yourself!

it's fine if they didn't end up together, they still had the best friendship in the whole Harry Potter franchise

"He may feel left out, or like the third wheel"

Harry being the third wheel: 👁👄👁

[melscrybaby]

hermione in the book: *not as attractive*
hermione in the movie: *portrayed by the most beautiful woman out there*

[otiliamaria]

Actually, J.K. Rowling revealed that one of her biggest regrets is that Harry and Hermione didn't end up together. So, there isn't any reason.

The movies should have developed Ginney's character more then it would have been clearer why Harry and Ginny ended up together.

I like how Harry is such a good friend when he sees Ron and Lavender he’s happy for Ron but when he sees Hermione he goes and sees what’s going on

[simplyxjannah]

So no body is ganna talk about how dumbledor thought they were together?

[atulpawar]

well, that's because
"She's like my sister, I love her like a sister and I reckon she feels the same way about me. It's always been like that. I thought you knew."
duh.

Thanks to Harry and Hermione to show us that a boy and a girl can be best

Hermione :SheS OnLY INTrEStEd In YOu BEcaUSe SHe ThInKS ThE CHoSEn ONe.
Harry : BuT I Am thE ChOSen OnE
Hermionie : *slaps with paper *
Harry : ok ... Sorry umm kidding

[thepotterheads]

Harry is so much better for Hermione. For one, Harry didn't leave her in a forest, he didn't kiss other girls in front of her, and he's just a much better match.
(in my opinion)

Both Hermione and Harry married into the Weasley clan, making everybody part of one family and all their kids cousins. I like that ending,

[gunslinger]

Ron stole Hermione. So Harry went for his sister

[rachelle]

In the books it says that they are like siblings that they both never had. Words!

When you realize just how much hermione is like Harry’s mother, you start to appreciate the fact that they were just best friends lol. She was the loving female family member he needed. And I like how it showed that yes, men and women can be just friends. My best friend is a female, and we don’t have any sexual feelings at all. Some people aren’t compatible romantically, but are still perfect as friends. My best friend has great qualities I look for in a friend, but not in a partner.

[lol-vmxk]

Imagine being told you're "too beautiful" for a part :')

[dydx]

Disagree completely. Her and Ron being awkward, mean and dismissive of one another are the definition of a teenage crush.

[Em-bxyh]

Actually.... When you read the book, completely immersed in the story.... It's very satisfying to read about Ron and Hermione's love story. It's funny, cute, passionate, original, and beautiful with all it's ups and downs.
I loved their story so much!
Ginny and Harry too... They were quite passionate once Harry realises his feelings towards Ginny.
But Ron and Hermione are a whole different feel.
I guess I connected to the emotions Rowling was rolling with while writing this. Theirs is a pure and beautiful precious love.
I could never ship Hermione with Harry i guess.
Harry fits perfectly with Ginny.
And Ron fits perfectly with Hermione.
Luna with Neville.
Remus with tonks.
Dobby with socks.

The beauty of the trio is everyone's a third wheel in a sense!!

Harry the third wheel between Romione
Ron the third wheel between sibling love of Harmione
Hermione the third wheel of bestfriends Ron and Harry

Thats why their relationship is Golden 💫

[calcollects]

Is it just me who wonders... when Hermione removes her parents memory of her and takes all evidence of them having her...that one picture in the movie of hermione sitting on her bed...wouldn’t they be confused on why they just have a picture of a pink bed in the living room
