Favorite Romantic Moment
There are actually a lot of great romantic moments. Krum asking Hermione to the Yule Ball while Ron didn't have the guts. Ron jealous because she went to the Ball with Krum. Ginny feeding Harry. The kiss after the quidditch win. Basically all of Ginny and Harry's relationship. Their bonding and growth from friends to other in the book was so special to read and I was really disappointed with how that played out in the movies.
But the one I'm going to go with is the out-of-character moment of Hermione doing a confundus charm on Cormac. CHEATING and Hermione just don't go hand in hand. She tends to bend the rules a lot for Ron and Harry, but this pushed it way over the edge. She even jumped all over Harry for 'cheating' by giving Ron the Felix. I thought this moment really showed how much she cared about Ron.
What is your favorite romantic moment?
Awww you are such a romantic. hehe. I do hate that I missed so much by not reading the books, especially the relationships.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite moment didn't involve the main three. "You thought that I would not weesh to marry him? Or per'aps you hoped? What do I care how he looks? I am good-looking enough for both of us, I theenk! All these scars show is zat my husband is brave!" Bill & Fleur with their little cottage made me pretty happy in the book I would have liked to read more about them. But i do love how Hermoine put Cormac in his place and at the same time Harry noticed and teased her for it.
ReplyDeleteI loved that moment and it made me laugh so much as well. Despite all of her love for rules etc. Hermione cares more about her friends and she'd never want anyone else to harm them. And Cormac was such a tool... Great choice :)

Aah I chose a moment similar to this when Tonks tells Lupin that she loves him, just like Fleur loves Bill!
ReplyDeleteI'm starting with HP series this month, I really can't wait to discuss about stuff in Harry Potter Moment Of The Week. (Jaclyn please start something on GOT series in the future, I have loads and loads to share about it) :)
ReplyDeleteAww that is a really good choice and I agree! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome pick! I totally forgot about this, lol. It was so sweet of Hermione to look out for Ron. Cormac was so obnoxious, and I thought he got what he deserved, haha!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. The relationships in the book were so much more on point. Especially Ginny and Harry. There was a whole lot going on in Harry's head with regards to Ginny and it played out much differently than it did on film.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful moment. You're so right. They thought she was so shallow and she definitely proved her love with that statement. I laughed out loud at their shocked response.
ReplyDeleteCormac was a tool LOL. I was really glad she chose to do it too!
ReplyDeleteYES YES YES! I love that you are reading HP. I can't start GOT though. I never made it past the 2nd chapter. Something about the writing style I just couldn't get in to. Sorry! I know it's crazy with how many people love it.
ReplyDeleteHe was so thrilled that he got to rib her for that. She gave him such a hard time for the Felix and it was a sweet moment for him to call her on her Confundus. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's in the actions not the words.
ReplyDeleteAh, he was so obnoxious for sure. I was so proud of her for doing it as twisted as it is. When Ron kisses Lavender after the Quidditch win though I was pissed at him. Hermione's the one that got you on the team!! I was shouting at my book a little bit LOL
ReplyDeleteAwwww such a sweet moment! I mean she really must have cared if she cheated for him. :) Awesome pick!
ReplyDeleteRight! Exactly :D
ReplyDeleteAwww this is such a sweet moment, and I agree: definitely out of character for Hermione. But it goes to show how smitten she was with Ron :D I love the two of them together ♥ Great pick Jaclyn ^^
ReplyDeleteI love that! It definitely shows that she is really into him. They really do make a great fit. She needed someone that was funny and could draw her out of that serious personality and he needed someone to ground him better. Such a great pair :D
