   I believe that Ron and Hermoine will indeed become a couple. I was 
watching an interview on the Chamber of Secrets DVD, in which Steve 
Knowles (the screenwriter) and JK Rowling were discussing how the 
book was adapted to the screen. Rowling reveals that she has told 
Knowles more about the books storylines than anyone else, and Knowles 
says that he constantly comes to her asking whether this scene would 
be alright, etc. From this, I get the feeling that Rowling is keeping 
an eye on the movies so they keep consistent with the books. 
  I seem to remember one part of the interview in which she mentions 
how Knowles brought out more of the relationship between Ron and 
Hermione than she did in the book. The scene I'm referring to is at 
the very end, after she hugs Harry and then there is a moment of 
awkwardness between her and Ron. 
  As has been mentioned before, there is always the jealously Ron 
feels when Hermione is interested in other guys, and as for their 
constant arguing -- in many examples of literature two people who 
often bicker at each other end up loving each other eventually. It 
also Ron that often is the first to come to Hermoine's defense 
against verbal abuse.

   As for Harry, I believe he will remain alone. Cho Chang was merely 
an infatuation -- never do we see Harry thinking about Cho's other 
qualities other than her beauty, except maybe that she's a decent 
Seeker. His relationship with Cho doesn't go anywhere. Luna has been 
introduced too late in the series for me to consider he as a serious 
interest. Rowling wants to make Harry's life hard -- heck, she killed 
off the closest thing Harry had to a real family with Sirius in book 
5.  He will remain alone. 
  
 Just my thoughts.
