Re: What popular pairing do you just not get?

[diet_poison]

I honestly don't think Ron and Hermione truly fought during most of their friendship. They had that one period of time when they weren't speaking but then so did Harry and Ron, and that felt very similar to me. (I can agree with the part where Ron left during book 7, that was upsetting and I thought a very extreme reaction even for Ron. But I think, again, it wasn't really about Ron and Hermione because that ultimately hurt Harry even more, since Harry was depending on his friends.)

There was a lot of lighthearted bickering but maybe we just interpreted their fighting different ways?

I never saw it as lightweight because a lot of the stuff they said was really personal. Particularly Ron in relation to Hermione's studious nature. And they always seemed miserable after their fights or bickering. They didn't seem to actually enjoy doing it, it more seemed to me to come from being too different rather than from the sexual tension that I think the author meant it to be. And then there was the bird attack which in my mind was totally physical abuse.

I guess maybe I just didn't get a lot of the humor in the books? I think we were supposed to find the bird attack funny (as we were with Ginny attacking Zacharias in the stands), and it never came across that way to me.

I think the bird attack fell into the same category as a lot of other things - like the tongue-growing prank candy and Peeves setting things on fire - that were supposed to be humorous and you kind of had to accept comic humor as a premise even though that doesn't work as well in a not-cartoon setting. There are debates as to how effective that is. (I have mixed feelings.)

I thought the bird attack was dumb primarily because I don't think Ron (iirc) did anything to deserve it. But they were all what, fourteen?, at the time, so...

Ron & Harry would have been 16 and I'm assuming Hermione would have been 17 since her bday is in Sept but yeah I agree.

During their fourth year?

Didn't first-years start out at 11?

The bird attack happened in Half Blood Prince so that's 6th year. Unless I'm thinking of another bird attack, lol. Bird attack when she saw him with Lavender?

Re: What popular pairing do you just not get?

[diet_poison]

...for some reason I thought that happened in fourth year, after the Yule Ball.

Man I'm getting mixed up. Need to re-read for clarity.

Also that makes it way more awful :/
