Sorry that was me above. I hadn't signed in yet. I disagree about the movies. I think except for a few added scenes here and there, they've completely played down the relationship between the two- particularly in PoA and GoF. Yes they added the awkward ending scene in CoS, but in turn they took out most of Ron's jealousy over Lockhart and most of his conviction over helping Hermione (he didn't even go visit her in the Pomfrey's in the movie, only Harry did. wtf?). In PoA they added the handhold but they took out the big "awkward" hug between the two and Ron helping out Hermione with Buckbeak's trial (he did all the research) for example. In GoF the only scene was the Yule Ball one. She didn't even get upset over Fleur really. OoTP had the teaspoon scene and the added one with Grawp, but took out quite a bit (actually though, I thought OotP was pretty good to them). This is probably on the whole due to the fact that Ron's role is played down so severely, and thus Harry and Hermione's relationship almost comes across more focal (they add loads of scenes with just the two of them, including the insanely long finale of PoA and at least two big ones in GoF) than that of the trio's at times and that carries over to all of Ron's relationships. I'm a huge trio fan (and a Harry & Ron fan) just as much as I am a Ron/Hermione fan so that's always been frustrating to me.

I can sort of see the rushed complaints with Harry/Ginny, but Ron and Hermione's feelings developed at a very natural pace (even a bit slowly to be honest), imho and really kicked into gear in book four which is still four books total. Sorry for the tl;dr. I just wanted to clarify (and apologize for anonymousing).

Okay, you bring up great points. I love Ron, and going to see the movies can make me angry because of how little screen time he gets, and how they play up Harry/Hermione, and how little importance Ron seems to have to the story, when that is definitely not the case.

I'm also a big trio and Ron/Hermione fan, but I guess I liked the build up more than the actual execution? If that makes sense? I think my whole complaint, really, is that I don't like the way JKR writes her characters, her books are entirely plot based. I don't know what my main gripe is with her, because yeah, they are her characters, and I do love the Harry Potter books, and I should just shut up and go sit in my corner. :D
