Well, I thought there were definite hints for Ron and
Hermione heading toward couple hood starting in book one,
and becoming a little more obvious by the third book.

The hand holding and Buckbeak scene were not in the books,
but there was Hermione hugging and crying all over Ron when
they reconciled and he offered to help with defending
Buckbeak.

And weren't a lot of the books already out by the time CoS
was filmed?

I remember seeing Movie one, and immediately reading the
first four books afterward, so I'm pretty sure the film
makers already knew were the relationships were headed.
