I was always more of a Hermione/Harry shipper myself, both in the books and in the movies. Ron/Hermione just never did it for me. (And don't even get me started on Ginny.) They didn't seem to have anything in common other than Harry. Though, yes, it was abundantly apparent who was going to wind up with who, by the third or fourth book.
To be honest, I think I'd have had an easier time seeing Hermione with one of the twins. Maybe because the twins were older than Hermione, so there was less of the mothering vibe going on. (I can't STAND the mothering thing in my ships.) There were times in the later books that Hermione seemed to be a Mrs. Weasley in training, which was so wrong on so many levels. Harry in the book seemed to view Hermione's disapproval as his voice of conscience, while with Ron she seemed to be just a nag. It was like, even though you knew which was the ship was heading, you couldn't help but help to think that a different direction would be so much better.
but in the films, it feels more possible, or less unlikely...which I think is because the actors work so well together.
Yes, I totally agree. In the movies, Harry and Hermione always seemed to be two halves of the same whole. It made In this film, even as they were talking about how they were in love with other people, they just seemed so connected. It's not just the romance of the moment, you can see them really working together as a long term couple.
