Yes! All the reactions were a little too slow. It took away from the 
impact of the scene and instead we're left with Hermione's eyes 
filling with tears. If it had been shot closer to the scene in the 
book, we would have gotten the hint of the possible romance without 
the awkward handshake scene.
