It is odd for me to hear all the Harry and Hermione talk concerning
P.O.A. For me, this is the most clearly and loudly Ron/Hermione movie
to date. The scenes where Hermione and Harry have physical contact are
times of either extreme danger, or great emotion on Harry's part.
Harry only has two close friends, and I don't see Ron comforting a
crying Harry. The dangerous scenes: well most of the time they are
helping one another. They are running from a werewolf and escaping a
murderous tree. Some hand holding and other contact might be
necessary. For me, Harry and Hermione's contact in the movies is so
clearly platonic. They are soo close, in a sibling kind of way, that
it doesn't matter if they hold hands every once in a while. I am
pretty sure that when Hermione is holding onto Harry with Werewolf
Lupin right in front of them, Harry is not thinking "Does Hermione
Like me?" Neither one of them thinks anything of it. They don't have
those kinds of feelings for one another. Of course this is all my
opinion, but in Highschool, which was only about 2 years ago for me, I
had one guy friend that I literally had no romantic feelings for, and
I was very comfortable around him. I may have acted in some ways that
are typically girlfriend type behaviors, but since neither of us
thought that way about the other, it didn't matter. We were just being
friends. I can say that with the boys I thought more about, well it
was much more of a "Ron" reaction.
