Well most folks know I just couldn't buy the Hermione Ron thing for
almost the entire series. I always felt that Ron needed to do a bit
of growing/changing before he would be on par with Hermione. I could
almost buy the nasty treatment and bickering as childhood kind of
stuff, but by the time you're in your teens...you really should know
better how to treat another human being.

That said, the Ron we were given in this book was just fine for me.
I had no problem with them hooking up in the end. In fact, the book
made it seem like he was actually trying to earn her affection
rather than assuming that it -should be there- naturally. Still, I
still wasn't sold on the idea that Hermione had reciprocal feelings
for him. The crying and the yelling at the mid book split were
totally in character for her regardless of whom it was.

The whole glance during the wedding was a definite red herring for
me.
