agree. but then again no parings that came out of HP were all that convincing to me.

This.

Krum would be fine. Ron was fine too.

Just didn't work for me. Ron and Harry took her for granted one too many times for me to be happy with her paired with either of them.

A small few end up with their high school partner but overall it is not common. Sure have them end the series together but she had a whole epilogue and play where she could have mixed it up. People find they don't work long term; want different things, find someone else once in a new environment ect. It felt all too wrapped up and neat all round.

She and Ron make perfect sense to me as a codependent couple. If they're miserable together, it's because of their own faults. Ron is lazy and unappreciative, and Hermione is holier-than-thou and loves having someone like Ron depend on her and make her feel superior.

This, they'd be one of those couples who bicker and make their kids miserable, but somehow stay together for 15 years. (Just like Harry and Ginny would be like the Brit version of the aged quarterback/cheerleader; he'd sort of absently be like 'She sure was more fun when we were younger', she'd be scowling at every woman in his office...)

Ron's treatment of Hermione became pointedly more grateful and praising at the very tail end of the series. Pretty believable since most teenage guys don't become appreciative of much until a couple years after the girls around them have emotionally matured.

I didn't really like her ending up with Ron. I would have been okay with Harry because I think they had a little more in common and he didn't take her as much for granted.

I think she and Viktor did appreciate each other, which is good, but I'm not sure they really got each other. I guess that could have come with time.

Maybe someone like Dean Thomas or Padma Patil (Hermione would ride roughshod over Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood would drive her up the wall).

I don't really think Ron and Harry underappreciated Hermoine any more than they underappreciated each other. Overall, it seemed to me like they cared and respected one another, and praised each other for their accomplishments while occasionally being bratty/ego-centric, aka, teenagers.

I don't like any Hermoine pairing, granted. I am just disagreeing that they didn't appreciate her.

Agreed (except for the last part - I liked Ron/Hermione).

I'm with you on that, op. I would've been fine with her NOT ending up with anyone, either.

I would have been kind of okay if she ended up alone. I just wanted her to be appreciated, damn it. She was taken for granted by everyone and yet did more than anyone else. In any other story, she'd be the hero.

Same.

Ron did appreciate Hermione, as did Harry, in the books but she was also on their level. Book!Hermione is often tactless and authoritative and can even be snobbish about her opinions. In the movies, not even Jesus is good enough for Hermione who can do wandless magic at 17! In the books Ron didn't say that Snape "had a point" when he humiliated Hermione in front of their DADA class but called him out for being the asshole that he was.

+1000

Yes, you are right that book!Hermione wasn't perfect. She was all the things you said. And yet, she was still underappreciated by her boys. She's still the one who saved the day most of the time. They both would be dead a hundred times over without her. And yet, she rarely got thanked. She got overlooked most of the time, even by her friends.

I think in some ways that it makes sense that she was okay with it. She didn't have many other friends. I don't think she was actually used to being appreciated, so even the tiny little bit the boys gave her went a long way. But she deserved more.

But... they all saved each other. Like, the boys literally save her from the troll in the bathroom in book 1. And by being her friend when no one else would, they saved her from a lot of misery at Hogwarts, & made her more approachable so others gave her a chance even though she was a snobbish brat in the beginning. Book!Hermione has so much growth over the series! But movie!Hermione really starts out as a Strong Female Character, & she gets almost all of Ron's social & emotional intelligence lines because she's The Girl... I get being disappointed with movie!Hermione's pairing choice. But book!Hermione? I think the relationship turned out fine; it's not like she & Ron were into each other the whole series.

I've read the books and hated Ron/Hermione there just as much as in the movies.

I do however agree that there was no underappreciation going on and Hermione was certainly not perfect.
