SHIP: CoS video

[Trisha Masen]

New here.  First post.  Please be gentle.

I know much has been made of the comment JKR made about Chris Columbus
alluding to possible romantic things in the movie that she doesn't
touch until GoF.  I'm mainly a H/G and R/Hr shipper, so it pains me to
say these things.

The Harry/Hermione "touches" include more than just the enthusiastic
hug at the end.  Having watched the DVD for the second time just
tonight, I noted that twice while Hermione is Petrified, Harry is
stroking her hand.  The first time is when she is first brought to the
hospital (when the Quidditch game is cancelled) - Harry takes the
upraised hand (Hermione's right, I think) and strokes it.  The second
is when he and Ron visit post-Aragog.  Harry strokes her left hand
and, in the process, finds the paper with the basilisk information on
it.

So, I'm reading (or should I say "seeing") the SHIPs go either way:
Harry/Hermione or Ron/Hermione.  I know JKR's quote about the very
"platonic friends" but who's to know if she meant for all seven books.

Thanks for listening.
