I hope they end up together because it just so has to happen !!!!!

Hermione and Ron

lol my ship totally goes against ron/hermione (D/Hr lol *hides*), but i still think their cute together

Well it's not WB who decides the ships, it's the books. And Jo already discounted Hr/H as a ship, many a time, the books do point to R/Hr. Emma probably sees that. Besides, this was in the press room after collecting the award. She was probably still shocked, judging from the video of her speaking to the press where she was so excited that she was tripping up over her words. She'd be hard pressed to come up with a reason in the few short moments that Empire talked to her. Let's not forget, she won't know book quotes by-heart like the rest of us 'cause she's not as obsessed.

It was clever how she added that on the end. If she hadn't, you could bet your bottom dollar the British tabloids would've said something like "Watson wants R/Hr therefore she fancies Rupert." Having said that, she shouldn't have to have expressed that, but I suppose that just goes to show how the media works. I mean, we're not silly enough not to know what's real and what's not. Obviously, she doesn't mean real life because she was talking about Ron and Hermione, who, let's face it, aren't real people.

hahaha that too probably. fangirls are lethal. i think the whole opening of the security gates at the PoA prem proves that. they're all far too hormonal.

We would've understood that without her having needed to say it because she was alking about fictional characters and not herself. But the media *cough*TheSunNewspaper*cough* probably needed the clarification. Stupid tabloids! *beats them with a rowing paddle*

It's British slan for a kiss with tongues

I think that ship already sailed when Luna said something like, "Some people even call me Loony." Loony was in italics there and when Ron said it in the DoM. She'd have to be either stupid (which she isn't) or extremely up with the faeries to see that Ron just isn't interested. In conclusion, just 'cause she fancied him, doesn't mean the boat sails along both shores.

Of course there's nothing wrong with Rupert. But rumours, they're nasty and that's what they to keep at bay. Especially with the British tabloids being the way they are.

She wouldn't know. Jo said the only person who she's revealed future character stuff to, is Alan Rickman about Snape. For all others all she's done is given them background, past stuff, not future happenings because otherwise they could accidentally blab which would spoil the books for millions.

July

They have been adding extra romance, having said that I don't think Newell would've. Remember those Krum/Hermione & Cho/Harry kissing rumours which were discounted? I think Emma was just talking about the future novels/films, like she said.

I dont think Emma and Rupert have a connection. In one interview with the three of them, you could just see how much more comfortable Daniel and Emma were with each other. I dont think Emma made the comment about real life because of a romance with Rupert, i think it was just not to start rumours about a relationship with any of the cast.

^ Yeah, she's a smart girl, she knows how the tabloids would react. To me, it's clear she's far closer to Dan too. They talk to each other alot during interviews, they banter alot, not to mention the hand-holding and cooing at the PoA Prem.

^yeah...

Interesting interview...hehe

i was excited before, reading this, im even more excited, i cant wait!!!

I can't wait

*Ducks the cannonballs* I won't comment on the shipping... I'm just super-glad the Britishness will be better emphasized. British books = British film. Utter coolness.

Great interview!!

TIGHT! thats an awesome interview!

It all sounds so cool, woo, roll on July and then November!

Well I say the girl's clever, she knows the media by now and how it all works she doesn't want people to get the wrong idea. Plus, she's said so many times that both Dan and Rupert are like brothers to her so she couldn't go out with them.

With R/Hr I'm not fussed either way really, I bit of romance would be cool, but in my opinion I think Hermione will finally realise who her heart belongs to near the end of the seventh book and then that person will love her back, but something will happen which means they won't be together. Morbid, but it's an interesting plot twist.

*Ready for all the shout backs*

Jo hasn't debunked H/Hr ship at all, if you are talking about the "date" question check out the question, they are asking her if Harry and Hermione are dating, which they are not, but the question doesn't include a future reference at all, the only two ships so far that have been debunked are D/Hr and N/L.
Hints are not obvious situations, hints like she (Jo) said "clues" and clues again are not suppose to be obvious otherwise they wouldn't been call clues.
All I have to say is "read between the lines" quote from Jo.
I know we will never agree in one ship until we'll see it writen in the books.

yes maybe she doesn't know books quotes but there are general ideas that many R/Hr shipper use to argue all the time, and they are very "obvious", to me it looks like she was not that sure, first she said "eventually" then "that's my feeling" and then "I don’t know what J.K. Rowling's got in store for them" I think she went from obvious to she doesn't know, of course we all don't know what Jo is going to do at the end.

Well in the DVD launch party she was asked the same question and she said almost the same thing, without the last part of course, and so far no tabloids had mention anything about Emma and Rupert having a thing for each other, the ones who keep bringing her quotes of that event are most R/Hr shippers, they think bcoz Emma thinks that Ron and HErmione will end up together at the end, that Emma has a thing for Rupert, and you can see those comments in many HP boards.
I think that is why she wanted to clarify that she doesn't like Rupert in a romantic way at all.


Sailed? wow Jo took a lot of time and paper to introduce this character that seems to be very deeply attracted to Ron and suddenly you think that the ship is already salied.
I have to disagree with you, the thing is that Ron been in those condition only notice Luna not his LI (Hr) who was unconscious..mmm.. I think he is starting little by little to notice Luna.
Like I said before I think it is useless to discuss the ship since we will never agree with each other.

I agree with Emma. Ron and Hermione all the way.

Wicked!! I just cant wait! I'm glad to hear Emma also thinks that Ron and Hermione will get together in the end! And maybe she said "not real life!" because she likes him as a friend? And she dosent want people to start rumors about her and Rupert. ahh I jsut cant wait for the movie!

yeah she wants him, lol. j/m

lol that would be the cutiest thing in the world... i can see it now... Ron and Hermione, gryffindor tower all alone, only the fire place on the common room... everything else pitch black.... and so the story starts... lol *shivers with happiness* very cute....

But Emma wouldn't know them because she's not your average shipper

Because people on HP boards ship her and Rupert? I think it's far more likely that it's because of the British press who HAVE before printed things about possible romances between the cast. How would she have any way of knowing people ship her real life on Potter boards?

You can't have depth without knowledge of the person. Luna, like Harry did with Cho, fancies the ideal of the person, the looks and the such. She doesn't actually know him.

Where? Seriously, everything for a reason. Why have his insult and her realisation of reality both in italics if it were not to mean something.

Ron just doesn't fancy her, he's too into Hermione.

Exactly. She's not dull, she knows that the media interest in them heightens by the year and any indication, even the smallest, would be picked up on by the press.

Oh i can't wait for GOF.

Jezz, I think you know already that she has mentioned many times to the media and interviews and so far that Ron and Hermione will end up together (her opinion) now so far I haven't hear or read any gossip between Rupert and Emma from the media (bad press), I think she was just telling that even tho she support or agree with R/Hr, she doen't like (romanticly) Rupert in real life.

About the ship I will not discuss it here otherwise we are going to reply each other back and forth and I don't have time to discuss it.

But that wasn't really necessary, well for those who know the difference between fiction and reality anyways. 'Cause all know her and Rupert aren't Hermione and Ron.

I think it was necessary, maybe she does check some boards around the net, I remember the last statement of her about Ron and Hermione getting together (DVD launch party) all the R/Hr shipper were commenting including some webmasters who run some HP sites, that Emma may have a thing for Rupert bcoz of that statement...
Her making that statement is telling us is not to get confuse with the real life actors.

She doesn't need to tell us not to confuse her with a fictional character though.

I thought the only one who went on Internet Boards was Rupert, CBBC, but I could be wrong. But they've all categorically denied having email addresses and you need them to belong to a board.

I think she does need to tell us, not bcoz some fans are confusnig her with the character she played but they (R/Hr shippers) are saying that bcoz she is all for Ron/Hermione that Emma wants to do those scenes with Rupert. Got it!

Now about the boards I never said that she actually post comments but she can view those comments without signing.

yeah they said that on emma-watson.net u got to go there it gives good news
