Theresa,
I think I had my "gut" feeling about Harry and Hermione for two 
reasons, one, Jo mentioned something on the DVD saying that Alphonso 
got a couple of things right, future things, without her telling 
him, he just sort of ventured out successfully, maybe even 
accidentally. And second, the lack of screen chem. between Movie!Ron 
and Movie!Hermy. I was glad you mentioned how they botched 
Hermione's "ask me first, next time" speech. That was telling for 
me. And three, (I only meant to give 2 reasons but this one popped 
up) Screen!Harry and Screen!Hermy do have real chemistry. Not saying 
it will go anywhere but even when the two real life people are being 
interviewed, they are like peas in a pod and Rupert is the strong 
almost-silent type. I adore Rupert and was so thrilled he got some 
really good screen time in GOF and hope they continue to use him but 
soon he's going to have to step up to the plate, and it just doesn't 
seem that he and Emma spark. Friends yes, oh yes, but that spark. 
Don't see it.
