I don't have the books with me, becoz in my country they're expensive so I usually borrow them
could any of you post here quotes in the books showing hermione make harry laughing and smiling? and harry make hermione the same way?
kinda bother me if opposite shippers saying harry/hermione is a bit boring

Don't worry--I'm answering!

This thread is such a good idea, because their lack of 'fun' together is what a lot of herons go on about when they say our ship's uninteresting.

Sadly though, I don't have my books either (I leant them all to my sister to read, who's never ever read or watched anything HP in hopes I could get her converted)...

So--okay I have some parts without quotes (I can get them when I see my sister later):
HBP first (because it's our weakest link) would be the scene where Harry and Hermione are joking about Pince and Filch. Another would be the scene where they talk about Hermione hexing McCormac (that's his name right--I've only read HBP once...) You know for a book that supposedly sunk HBP everything that the herons said was wrong with our ship, humor especially, got fixed in their 'bible.'

Harry and Hermione are also really cute and happy when they get norbert successfully rescued and sent off into the wild--Hermione even does a 'jig.' So stay tuned--I promise I will have quotes!

This thread could easily turn out to be one of those where all HP books got retold. Does anyone complain though? No.

I don't have the books with me either, but i agree that Harry and Hermione's interactions are way more serious and doesn't hold much time for nonsensical humour (eg. dungbombs or whatever that Ron was having fun with). But, and a big 'BUT' this is, they make eachother happy. For example,

First and foremost, the first time Hermione repairs his glasses. Noone could deny that Harry's happiness and triumph in each instance. And as for Harry making Hermione happy, please remember, at Slughorn's party Harry praising Hermione made her tremendously happy. I don't remember Hermione being that beaming.

So many instances are rushing into my mind, i'm having a hard time to organize them. I'm sure people more experienced with the books could make a list for each and every book. People like Accio! Harry for instance.

Last, but not least, i want to underline that making someone laugh and making someone happy are different things. While you laugh at a joke for days at most, a gift or a favour from a friend is hardly forgotten. Let's keep that in mind when people tell you that Harry and Hermione don't have fun.

S.

Who can forget the scene where Hermione practically shrieks with joy when she sees Harry holding the (Ron's) Prefect Badge?! She assumed Harry had been made Prefect and was clearly disappointed that he wasn't.

Hermione was being a little coy when she told Harry that he was quite fanciable! I mean, the whole conversation did make Ron feel a bit uncomfortable. I'm also sure that this made Harry feel all warm and fuzzy and it was all because of Hermione telling him that he was fanciable. And, this from HBP - the Chocolate's bible!

If Ginny/Harry's the final ship honestly why was there so much flirting between Harry and Hermione? There's never been that much in any other book...

And maybe they don't always have to make each other happy, but they can always make each other feel better. All those times Harry sees that Hermione alone recognizes what he's feeling, you know when his scar hurts, when he's upset about cho, even though it's not said--those moments have to make Harry feel better. Harry's whole child hood was alone, just her recognizing and being a part of those moments he goes through makes him feel better.

On another note--what about Hermione being the only one to get Harry out of that dark room round' Christmas in OoTP. It wasn't Ginny, and it wasn't Sirius that dragged him away and got some sandwiches sent up (at least I think they were sandwiches!); maybe Harry wasn't singing to the high heavens but no one else could've gotten him out of that. No one else could've made him feel OK enough to leave his solitude.

Sometimes Hermione makes Harry happy when she's not even there. I'm thinking of the scene in PoA when she sends him the Broomstick Servicing Kit.



and this from OotP:



Those are just two I can think of.

oh thank you, oh my goossh yes, those scene ... how I can forget?!
*I blame my stupid brain!*
I love that library scene in hbp, the hexing McCormac ... is it the one with harry (with smirk on his face) teasing hermione "I thought prefect not allowed break the rule"?
and oh yeah the norbert rescued
yup, agree ... harry/hermy make each other feel better, and your examples from the book showing that perfectly



again I blame my lazy sense of thinking ...
hermione's repairs harry's glasses is sweet thing to do
and awww harry praising to hermione means the world to her
hermione's reaction in that scene really cute

your statement give something deep to think about: laugh at jokes and a favour from a friend



wow yeah hermione so want to be with harry all the time as prefects but so sad it's ron become her partner prefect ...
hahaha I really love harry's reaction being warm (or I remember JKR described harry felt HOT) eventhough it's cold outside
really treasure in the ocean



aww thank you ... I love those
harry unconsciously in love with hermione
we have to punch him to wake him up

Also don't forget Harry's christmas present to Hermione in Ootp

"Thanks for the book Harry!" she said happily "I've been wanting that New Theory of Numerology for ages!"
Ootp pg. 444 British Edition

This shows that Harry pays attention to what Hermione says and buys her something which he knows she's going to like and is going to make her happy

Let's get something straight. It's important for Harry, hermy being happy and about what dragoncateliz said; hermy is the ONLY one who got Harry out of that room he was hiding and HERMY was the ONLY one Harry opened the door to. I mean he just opened the door wtihout hasitation when he heard HERMY's voice anyway we have a lot of proof in the first five books but I NEED some in HBP I mean everytime I TRY to read the book I always find the same things I've already found. Please find some quotes that scream H/Hr:luv: and some other parts that show us they make eachother happy and that they have fun when they're in eachother's company

Well said, everyone.

And not only do Harry and Hermione make each other happy when they're together; they also make each other happy even if they're apart! (Well, for Harry's case, at least; we don't get to witness Hermione's perspective of things, do we? Only Harry's...)

How about in HBP where they're in the library and Hermione's really upset about Ron (yirk), and Harry cheers her up by talking about Filch and Madam Pince's secret romance? I loved that scene. Seems as if they're having a lot of fun !!

*Goes to read it again*

from HBP chapter 5, An Excess of Phlegm, page 83

As Harry sat down, a furry ginger cat with a squashed face jumped onto his knees and settled there, purring.
"So Hermione's here?" he asked HAPPILY as he tickled Crookshanks behind the ears.

that one always gets me smiling...

this book is slowly becoming my favorite... is that.. bad?

That all depends on how DH turns out, doesn't it?
HBP is an interesting book because it can be either horrible or brilliant depending on DH!!!

here's hoping it's the latter!

and hey! i found another one!

Still chapter 5, page 103

"Oh, come off it," said Ron... "Yep-- nine 'outstandings' and one 'exceeds expectations... You're actually disappointed aren't you?"
Hermione shook her head, but Harry just laughed.

is it me or does somebody think that somebody's cute?

Why do I hear Borat's voice in my head when I read that?




There's really a lot of things to love in this book. My favorite will always be PoA, but I think the amount of HHr moments in HBP was greatly overshadowed by the Jennisms. Harry and Hermione's interactions in this book are some of the best we've seen. In PoA and OotP, they were all business, but here in HBP, they've reached some sort of comfort-level that's marred only by those pesky Weasleys distracting them.

I agree, I really thought something was going to happen between them but the Weasley interruption device was on in full force in HBP.

I love the Crookshanks scene as well. After reading His Dark Materials and learning about the daemon (touching someone's daemon is a very intimate gesture), I always like to think that Crookshanks is Hermione's daemon .

We never see Ron petting Crookshanks, do we?

thank you for harmonians who posted some the lovely quotes showing harry/hermy make each other happy...

but I also appreciate the discussion here

just her being there makes Harry happy--

remember after Hermione was petrified and hermione running towards him screaming 'you solved it, you solved it,' was one of the happiest memories of the night for him...

and just him showing up at grimmuald place in OoTP made Hermione about as happy as Hermione ever gets...

which actually is pretty happy!

yeah those moments are proof they make each other happy

One of my favourite moments of HBP:

"why don't I just go over there and punch him in the face?" (Percy)

"let me it might make me feel better!"

harry laughed.

(After Dumbledore's funeral)

It was something along those lines, (dont have the books with me) please correct me if im wrong.

That's a moment involving Ron and Hermione, actually.



Following right after that, here is this though.



Pretty self explanatory, i guess.

S.

I suppose, but hermione still made Harry laugh which is a rarity.

Would you like them from my paperbacks, hardcovers, e-books or audio books, LOL?

Well, for starters, check out this thread, kikyo. Might help ya:

Subtle Moments

It contains 48 pages of moments between Harry and Hermione.

If you have something more specific in mind, let me know and I'll be more than happy to whip up a list!

thank you accio!harry
and hereafter & starbuckJr

I feel that out of all the books Harry and Hermione have the most sort of PERSONAL connection in HBP as they talked about a lot of things that are unrelated serious buisness.

my favorites are

-Romilda Vane and the Love Potion
-Madame Pince and Filch
-Cufunding anyone?

I think in this book Harry starts to see her as an individual rather than his smart know-it-all best friend.

Exactly!! Alot of H/Hr have noticed that they seem to be...more flirtatious towards each other in this book. And when I think about what all went on in HBP, it makes sense to me too. R/Hr shippers claim how R/Hr argue and have sexual tension, and in HBP we actually see H/Hr argue alot of the book about his potions book...but we are delusional...I mean it's "obviously" not sexual tension between H/HR

I thought H/Hr had a scene in OotP that already established that there was sexual tension:

The fight before they go off to save Sirius. I mean, they yell at the top of their lungs, but continue stepping closer and closer to each oother. I thought that was very sexy. As opposed to certain other couples who stand 10 feet apart.

Your right I completely forgot about that fight.

I remember that scene but when does it say that they move closer to eachother? I forget

Omg thats so blantly hot and sexy! Thanks for getting that

Seriously who fights and walks toward eachother only people who are attracted to and feel comfortable with eachother do that!

That story sounds sooo awesome! Do you remember what it's called...yes I know it's completly off topic but it just sounds so good!

I seriously want to see loads, okay maybe not loads, but some HHR arguing in book 7. How can R/Hr ever say they have sexual tension when hello--do any of the herons read HHr's arguing sessions? I loved that part in OoTP when Harry recognizes her coming with him as a sign of solidarity and loyalty! Does that count as a moment--because it comforted him in those brief seconds...

by the way, why is Harry always touching/holding Hermione in the movies even more so than he does in the books?

Hmmmm...because Dan/Emma can't keep their hands off each other?

I think Dan was shown this promo pic on Jonathan Ross:


I think Jonathan asked him about his hand and Dan said something like, "Yeah, I get sort of protective sometimes....or at least that's the excuse I'm giving".

i would assume they did but we will wait and see if they that fight in the movie

I think there's much more sexual tension in this one fight between Harry and Hermione than in all Ron and Hermione's fights together.

And this is a much more important argument than any of Ron and Hermione's, so....

Go Harmony!

ron and hermy don't fight they bicker as many herons say that this bickering between them has tension, yeah and I'm the queen of africa!! I just can read those lines over and over again. It's the biggest fight between harry and hermy and it speaks volumes I was sure that it was going to be Harmony when I read but then our mostly beloved JK comes up with HBP and my whole world crushes down because of a flowery scent anyway back to topic in OOTP ever page has a H/Hr moment which showes they make eachother happy but in HBP we need to look some happy moments in HBP...

There was that time in HBP where Harry, Hermione, and Ron are with Slughorn and he tells Harry something a long the lines of Hermione being the brightest witch he had been talking about and that makes Hermione happy

If we're concentrating on HBP happy moments - when Harry arrives at the Burrow in the middle of the night and Crookshanks jumps on to his lap. I think Jo even used the word "happily" to describe Harry's realisation that Hermione was there.

And the whole "Madame Pince and Filch" thing ya I know its been said but thats a classic HBP moment. One of the first times you actually see them talking Off Topic and laughing and joking.

It's Cormac McLaggen actually





Umm... What's Jennisms?

How about in the OotP book when Harry and Hermione are introduced to Grawp in the Forest and Harry says to Hermione,

"Kind of makes you wish we had Norbert back doesn't it?" (Not an exact quote but it's almost accurate)

Hermione is terrified of course and his comment makes her smile. They definitely comfort each other by just being so comfortable around each other.

You don't know what it is? It's everything that has to do with Harry+Jenny

"Kind of makes you wish we had Norbert back doesn't it?" (Not an exact quote but it's almost accurate)

Hermione is terrified of course and his comment makes her smile. They definitely comfort each other by just being so comfortable around each other."

It is close to the exact quote--You just missed a comma! It's my signature...does it show up? I think other than the friendship and bravery moment it's my all time favorite bit of an HP book...

but it's awesome, harry is just as terrified as hermione, and her fear forces him to overcome his in efforts to comfort her....and hermione does laugh. I love it...

You know, I've been thinking about this lately...and somebody probably posted it already...

Yes, they do make each other happy.

Christmas gifts = broom servicing kit, and book.

I know they are material things, but there is something about being given what you exactly wanted that makes you very, very happy.

Aww...that moment is so cute! I know they crave each other's approval, especially Harry of Hermione's. Examples:

CoS: When Harry didn't know which was the better part about the entire ordeal, that they had a part or that Hermione came running up to him screaming "You solved it! You solved it!"

OotP: The house elves fountain ordeal, the OWL's

GoF: He wants her approval for him to be content in his own mind. Almost as if if Hermione didn't believe him, he would go insane.

HBP: Another GoF incident in HBP with the whole Draco thing.

I can't think of any more right now, but I'll think on it.

Only a comma, hee!- my brain is trained to remember Harmony
And yes, I've noticed it in your signature now. I remember squeeing like hell when I first read that moment in the book, it's so quotable of Harmony .


Yeah they do very much. Love the quotes you used. Harry likes to be praised by Hermione, a lot. Like in HBP:

''And quite frankly, Harry, you've never been more fanciable."

It was so adorable that he went red. I almost felt pity for Ron.
