Just a note:  

In the movie all of the "tension" scenes are extra, as in Harry is 
not directly there.  For instance, the scene near the Shreiking shack 
is "before" Harry gets there under the cloak.  In addition, the scene 
with the hand grab is behind Harry's back.  All of these scenes are 
not in Harry's line of vision.  It is a possiblility that they 
happened but we are not privy to this information because Harry 
doesn't see it.  As far as we know in canon, Ron and Hermione might 
have had more "tense" moments during their first trip to Hogsmeade, 
we just don't get to see it.  I don't necessarily think that Hermione 
doesn't go with Ron is because he waited.  We just know that he did 
wait and Krum beat him to the punch.  We don't even know how early in 
the year Krum asked Hermione.  Could be right after the first task.  
It could have been incredibly early in the school year.  The fact is 
that Ron waited and Hermione had already been asked so we don't get 
to know if she would have said yes.  JKR wrote it like that.  I must 
admit it is a nice way to keep us on our toes.  

I will tell you I have a gut feeling as to who is going to end up 
with whom, but this is not the list for that.  Now in the next movie 
hopefully we will get more of the "out-of-Harry's view" scenes of 
Hermione and Ron.
