I don't hate Ron/Hermoine because he's unworthy of her. I don't think either character is better than the other. I just like the idea of female and male childhood friends having non-romantic relationships. Making it romantic frankly cheapened it for me.

I don't think either romantic love or friendship is cheaper than the other. Bad way of looking at it.

I can totally get preferring one over the other in a specific context so I'm not disagreeing with the larger point it's really just a pet peeve to talk about cheapening

ayrt

It is cheapening to me, not because I'm claiming that romantic love is inferior to friendship, but because it's so much more uncommon to see well-done, genuine platonic long-lasting friendships between girls and boys in fiction. Every freaking "group friendship" from childhood in fiction always involves some of them hooking up. It would have been more interesting and meaningful to me if the three didn't pair up.

this is an incredibly arbitrary standard.

sa

and also, I never saw their romantic chemistry. I never really got the sense of romantic intimacy between them, it just felt so forced.

I don't think it's cheapened considering they only really got together near the end of the last book. It was set up way before that but they were still just friends through the whole thing.

I vastly prefer this to a love triangle between the main trio or the even more cliche heroine ends up with main male protagonist.
