I don't really read Ron and Hermione as getting into screaming matches all the time? I mean, I don't ship it in any meaningful way, so it's more or less whatever. I'm just interested by the differing perceptions of their relationship - to me, it read more as affectionate bickering, with actual full-on blowups as exceptions fueled by teenage hormones, not as the norm.

Yeah, and a lot of it - while often taken to unnecessary levels of hurt - came from a righteous place. Both of them could be hopelessly clueless, and they called one another out on it.

To me, affectionate bickering would be something like, I guess, early seasons House/Cuddy. Like they say things to each other that are rather nasty, but as a joke and clearly neither of them don't take it seriously. Hermione actually runs away in tears several times, and at one point she physically attacks Ron with birds.

I guess I feel like JKR was trying to go for the affectionate bickering trope but ended up going to far. So I can see why people ship it, but to me I don't get how it would actually work.

I think a lot of writers don't understand the difference between bickering and bantering. Bantering is usually what they're trying for. Both people are amused and willing to concede when the other has made a good joke even when it's at their expense. But bickering is motivated by more negative emotions.

Pretty much this. And I personally can't get past that to ship something. I've matured enough to see why other people ship and to understand the trope, but bickering to me is such a turn off. I'm not even a huge fan of banter, but it can be cute if done right. And when its banter, its clear that both people are enjoying it and are not making each other miserable.

Interesting. yeah, I guess I just see the things where they are actually fighting as more of an abnormal state in their relationship because they're at a tough time and they're teenagers and all the rest of that. And I think outside of those fights they do the thing where they say things as a joke that they don't take seriously.

But different points of view I guess!

I thought HBP pushed Hermione way too far into the jealous clingy girl trope. I know that she's emotional, but I couldn't believe JKR would actually make her physically attack Ron just for liking some other girl. She never even talked to him about their feelings or anything, and they're supposed to be best friends!

Wasn't the bird thing only in the movie? I tend to completely disregard them so maybe that's why I'm not seeing how much it is Ron and Hermione actually fought. IDk, it's been a looong while since I read the books, but I'm only recalling the fight after the Yule Ball, and probably something to do with Lavender.

Nope. The bird thing was in the HBP book. And it actually seemed more physically violent than it did in the movie.

IIRC the bird thing was in the fight over Lavender.
