problems with *shipping*, etc.

It is fairly obvious that the
movie-makers are definitely leaning Ron/Hermione. The movie has
become terribly coy and suggestive (and blatant) about Ron and
Hermione "ending up together" and even in interviews, the cast now
openly says that there is something going on with Ron and Hermione.
Wow -- that's quite an assumption to make! Now, I'm personally not
shipping in one direction or another, but it surprises me that such
a strong opinion about this would be expressed -- especially when
JKR has a penchant for throwing her audience WAAAAY off guard at the
last minute. I am under the impression that the movie makers really
don't "get" JKR and for that matter, Harry Potter at all.

I agree.  I think most people expected something to happen between 
R/H in book 5.  That's not what JKR did.  She has left clues for a 
lot of different ships.  I don't think R/H is a done deal.  I'm sure 
they're REALLY going to play up the R/H stuff in GoF.  What if book 
six comes out and Ron gets with Luna or Hermione gets with Harry or 
Neville Crabbe?  :0  How are they going to write their selves out of 
that hole?

Joj:  
I think the R/H dynamic is a bit different in the movies.  Some of 
that is that both of the characters are a bit different in the 
movies.  For instance, do you think there's any chance Ron would have 
no reaction, in the books, to Hermione hugging him like she did over 
Buckbeak?  I know he wasn't concentrated on that and it was 
emotional, but he didn't even hug her back or acknowledge it in any 
way.  I can't see book Ron doing that.
