MOMENTS: H/Hr Books 1-5, Thread 04
Hi, my first time posting to this forum. I'm just interested to know which of the H/Hr moments most of our shipmates here like the best. I apologize in advance if your favourite moment is not listed above, but I wanted to keep the poll options low and chose the moments that have been extensively covered in this forum.
My personal favourite would be GoF.19, because it encompasses everything that makes a relationship successful. Loyalty: She sticks by him even when the rest of the world is against him. Trust: She believes his side of the story. Understanding: She knows immediately that he needs a friend and sought him out first thing in the morning.
Full Version: Book(s) 1-5: H/H moments T05
All of those are such fabulous and beautiful moments, but I voted for OotP. 35. As sad as it was (I myself was crying, muttering "No, no, no" under my breath like a mad woman) it was a great moment to see how Harry would react to Hermione being in mortal danger. And the reaction was a strong one, to say the least 
The poor boy couldn't even think straight! I think, as I believe many of us do, that that is the defining moment that will eventually (once he starts to get over the loss of Sirius) cause him to question his feelings for Hermione, and probe how deep they really go.
I think it was a very telling and hopeful moment for our ship.

I voted the MoM scene as well, but I really love that bit in PoA:
"Are you going to turn me in?" Harry asked, grinning.
Something along those lines, at any rate - I'm too lazy to go upstairs and grab my books. That moment still makes me squee!

i love them all! I lik the GOF one when they go for a walk, and PoA and i also love "But i dont think you're ugly" So cute! 
I had a hard time choosing. They are all really important, beautiful scenes. I voted OotP 35, because of basically what Kath said. But I also liked the Harry/Hermione fight, when Hermione went with Harry to Umbridge's office, when she saved him from the Cruciatus Curse, "but I don't think you're ugly," the Grawp and centaur scenes, and a bunch of others. It's amazing how packed with H/Hr OotP is. Wait until we get to HBP.

I see that as flirting, i was screaming like that when i saw that part, ahh *sigh hhr..
but i voted for OotP. 35.
I chose the "timer turner part" due to the fact that I believe this is very symbolicly important. I also feel that this is the beginning of an ever increasing pattern; Harry and Hermoine spending alot of time alone together. It also marks, in my opinion, the beginning of them working as a pair or as partners (rather than when they have worked together as part of the trio).
I must say tho, I felt the kiss at the end of GoF is also very important. I don't know why. I could have easily dismissed it, if it wasn't for the fact that Rowling makes you aware that Harry Potter notices that this is the first time she's kissed him on the cheek. I don't know, I just think there is something very signifant there.
Ok, before this becomes off-topic, I just thought I'd share why those two are my favorite H/Hr moments.

I voted for others coz I loved that little scene in PoA:
"Are you going to report me?"
Just got to love it! It just took Harry to grin to Hermione and she melt all there in the spot.
Besides this one I've chosen the time turner chap. and probably the Grawp too...a lot of friendly contact...

Although I agree the scene in book 5 at the MoM is very important, I voted for the earlier scene where Hermione launches herself at Harry when he arrives at headquaters. Thats the moment that really made me realize that us H/Hr shippers have nothing to worry about. Her greeting shows that although she spent most of the summer with Ron, its Harry that she really cares about.
I wrote other, because there was one scene which showed great passion that the two are able to create, with the real spectrum of emotions that the two generated throughout this scene. I love it. This is not a trivial fight unlike that of R/Hr.
'I don't believe him,' said Hermione in a very unsteady voice, the moment they were out of earshot of Hagrid. 'I don't believe him. I really don't believe him.'
Hermione out of her usual organized and composed character.
'Calm down,' said Harry.
Harry taking the initiative to calm her down.
'Calm down!' she said feverishly. 'A giant! A giant in the Forest! And we're supposed to give him English lessons! Always assuming, of course, we can get past the herd of murderous centaurs on the way in and out! I - don't - believe - him!'
Still very unlike Hermione, outbursting with more frustration, the emotional level is picking up in the scene.
'We haven't got to do anything yet!' Harry tried to reassure her in a quiet voice, as they joined a stream of jabbering Hufflepuffs heading back towards the castle.
Harry's emotional level picks up as well, but still trying to reassure her in a quiet voice JKR puts an exclamation mark after his sentence. Interesting..
'He's not asking us to do anything unless he gets chucked out and that might not even happen.'
'Oh, come off it, Harry!' said Hermione angrily, stopping dead in her tracks so that the peoplebehind had to swerve to avoid her. 'Of course he's going to be chucked out and, to be perfectly honest, after what we've just seen, who can blame Umbridge?'
Harry again still reassuring her, yet her emotions turn from frustrated to angry, and notice Hermione stops in her tracks. I think JKR does it to show that the conversation definitely isn't a casual fight like an R/Hr one, Hermione stops whatever she's doing to speak to Harry.
There was a pause in which Harry glared at her, and her eyes filled slowly with tears.
Harry glared at her, obviously mad at her, and Hermiones emotions change from angry to sorry, she actaully begins to cry. It seems that there aren't need for words at this moment, Harry just glares at Hermione and she expresses that she's sorry by crying in my opinion.
'You didn't mean that,' said Harry quietly.
'No… well… all right… I didn't,' she said, wiping her eyes angrily. 'But why does he have to make life so difficult for himself - for us?'
The issue is resolved, and then Hermione makes a comment about life as a whole for the...trio?. Notice that JKR uses italics for "us"; is she referring to just Harry and her, or the trio?

I think "us" is emphasised to mean Harry and Hermione. Ron is not in on the plan to take care of Grawp, so why would his life be made difficult by Hagrid in this instance?

Yes but they were going to tell Ron in order for him to help take care of Grawp with them, and they did tell him later on. You do bring up a good point though.

| "Are you going to report me?" |
This is one of my favorite's, because we get to see a side of Harry we rarely get to see, his flirty side.
| QUOTE |
| GoF.18: "I brought you this.... Want to go for a walk?" |
I simply love this quote; just the thought behind such a simple action screams romantic to me. I obviously don't believe it was written as romantic, but to me a gesture like that is priceless.
| QUOTE |
| OotP.9: She spotted the badge in Harry's hand and and let out a shriek. |
I love this one, not quite as subtle and quiet as the other quote, but Hermione's enthusiasm transfers to me everytime i read it. I had to decide between these to primarily for my vote...
The Goblet of Fire quote won. Subtlety is so romantic.
I chose the 1st meeting at Grimmwald Place because she held on to Harry so tightly and for so long, Ron had to call her off Harry.
However, other favorite scenes:
1.Hermione's comment about Harry not being a bad kisser...
Ron response "How do you know?"comment.... OotP
2.Oh...the "Harry do you want to help me knit for SPEW"comment by Hermione (a request for a pseudo-date, or to make babies in the future)....
Ootp
3. The whole yule ball scene where Harry 1st sees the pretty girl next to Krum...up to when Hermione's glances at Harry when Krum tries to pronouce her name. (Hey, your date is speaking to you Hermione...eyes on Krum...geez) 
GoF

I voted for the walk around the lake back in GoF. I thought this scene (really, two scenes, because Harry walked around the lake with Hermione on two different occasions) really showed the tranforming relationship between the two. Hermione has reached the point where she recognizes Harry's needs before he himself can, and she is willing to help him sort his feelings out. That in itself could be an extremely important factor in the coming novels.
Plus I loved the way she brought him toast--that was just so cute.

I also agree with Field, however. I loved that scene because it showed how differently Hermione acts with Harry than she does with Ron. It showed the depth of their relationship and the way they are able to communicate without words. Brilliant.
"OotP.35: Such a powerful wave of relief swept through Harry that for a moment he felt light-headed" gets my vote!
The other scenes were great too of course, and I also thought that Hermione asking Harry to help her knit hats and looking disappointed when Harry declined was a cute scene in OotP.

ARGH!!!!!!
So many wonderful moments! I didn't know what to choose! But, in the end I went with:

As, by the looks of the results of the poll, mostly everyone else did too. Heh.
I think it more or less sums up the H/Hr relationship... although the PS/SS moment does that too... and the Wanna go for a walk in GoF... and the "Will you please come out?" in OotP.... see what I mean, it's so hard to decide... *Goes crazy*
Anyway, yeah, I voted for that one.

I'm not quite sure what to pick, though my favourite moment that isn't on there is when Hermione asks Harry to make wolly bladder elf hats with her. And her reaction to Cho's kiss. And just about everything else, hehe 
There are so many great moments that it is incredibly hard to pick but I have to pick when Harry thought Hermione was dead. It had me going for a bit though when I first read it and I think that if Sirius wasn't killed then Harry may have started to think how important Hermione is to him. Ah well, I figure that JKR will always stop Harry from thinking about Hermione as a romantic interest by interrupting his thoughts or distracting him with something else till the end of book 6 or book 7.
AAAARRRGGH!!! 
There's too many to choose from! They're all good! *takes breath* All right, I'll close my eyes, tap the computer with a pencil, and see which one I land on. *taps computer*

Hmm . . . maybe it's fate. . . . I loved this scene. (after my heart stopped pounding) Harry's reaction was just too explosive to just be mere friendship. No, there's something there. . . .
Now you mention it, I got some lines I like to wrap my mind around --
OotP, U.S. ed., pg 436

Yeah, It's right. Maybe you have a different edition than I do. I have the hardcover version.
It's the scene where Harry tells the Death Eaters that Voldemort is a half-blood, just like him. That's when Hermione gives that moan in his ear.
Hope that helps.

I have the same edition as you. I unfortunately don't have my book on me to check at this time. I will have to take your word for it.
I just love the bit where Hermione is the only person to get him out of Buckbeaks room in OotP... I Squee everytime I think of that. ^.^
But I do like the Flirty harry in book 3... I don't think he even recognised that he was doing it... Ain't that so sweet? ^__^ Plus, think about it, if James potter was a ladies man, and Harry looks exactly like him, how must Hermione have felt when he gave her that flirty smile? Wasn't she all flustered afterwards?
heh, Harry, you little stud-muffin!

but related never the less, does anyone know where that moan in Harry's ear bit is in the hardback English edition.
I voted for the 'getting-harry-out-of-buckbeak's-room' . Hermione was the only one how could do it and the others had spent ages trying and hermione shows up and BAM Harry's out of the room in a flash!

I voted for the moments in the Time Turner chapter. I think a ride on such a cool creature and such an adventure alone was a great development in their relationship.

Too true! your comment reminded me of JKR's husband's answer to her question, why Voldemort wasn't killed by the rebounding killing curse. He said 'because Voldemort knew there are still more books to come.'
I voted for MoM moment because that is a strong emotional reaction from Harry to Hermione.
But I especially love the little interactions between the ever helpful and indulging Harry and the exam-stressed Hermione:
| QUOTE |
| Their first examination, Theory of Charms, was scheduled for Monday morning. Harry agreed to test Hermione after lunch on Sunday, but regretted it almost at once; she was very agitated and kept snatching the book back from him to check that she had got the answer completely right, finally hitting him hard on the nose with the sharp edge of Achievements in Charming. 'Why don't you just do it yourself?' he said firmly, handing the book back to her, his eyes watering. |
| QUOTE |
| 'And from now on, I don't care if my tea-leaves spell die, Ron, die - I'm just chucking them in the bin where they belong.' Harry laughed just as Hermione came running up behind them. He stopped laughing at once, in case it annoyed her. |
| QUOTE |
| 'Good', said Harry and Ron together. 'It is not good!' said Hermione hotly. 'She thinks it's Hagrid doing it, remember? And we do not want Hagrid chucked out!' 'He's teaching at the moment; she can't blame him', said Harry, gesturing out of the window. 'Oh, you're so naive sometimes, Harry. You really think Umbridge will wait for proof?' said Hermione, who seemed determined to be in a towering temper, and she swept off towards the girls' dormitories, banging the door behind her. |
| QUOTE |
| 'Only!' said Hermione snappishly. 'I've got Arithmancy and it's probably the toughest subject there is!' Nobody was foolish enough to snap back, so she was unable to vent her spleen on any of them and was reduced to telling off some first-years for giggling too loudly in the common room. |
They never failed to make me laugh, thanks to Harry's sharp observation skills.
| QUOTE ( artemis) |

Thanks for bringing those moments up, artemis. I laughed out loud in those scenes, especially that one where Harry stops laughing because he didn't want to annoy Hermione. I could just imagine Harry walking on eggshells around a stressed-out Hermione on a rampage. Very funny.
Another scene that I'm particularly fond of is this one, their first DADA class with Umbridge:
| QUOTE ( OotP @ Chapter 12, pp. 240 - 241) |
Several minutes passed. Next to him [Harry], Ron was absent-mindedly turning his quill over and over in his fingers, staring at same spot on the page. Harry looked right and received a surprise to shake him out of his stupor. Hermione had not even opened her copy of Defensive Magical Theory. She was staring fixedly at Professor Umbridge with her hand in the air. Harry could not remember Hermione ever neglecting to read when instructed to, or indeed resisting the temptation to open any book that came under her nose. |
The text in blue was such an apt description of Hermione's character -- through Harry's eyes. There was a similar scene in PoA, where Hermione, during their History of Magic class, interrupted Binns' lecture to ask about the Chamber of Secrets (PoA, Chapter 9, ), but that was written differently. In that scene, there was a collective surprise at Hermione's actions. It was not written from Harry's perspective. The DADA scene, on the other hand, started with Harry being bored to him being shaken out of his boredom by the sight of Hermione not reading a book. For some reason, I've always found it funny.
This is very hard. I voted for the last PoA chapters, because I hit the floor when Hermione chained Harry and dragged him into a broom cupboard! 
I was just getting into the ship back then, and this was one of my first fuzzy moments, plus the bit where Harry says 'you better hold onto me'. Off the record, I love the very first PS/SS moments, like...

Agh! Too many great scenes. And I have to mention this moment from OotP (speaking of exam stress)...
| QUOTE |
| I know this, Harry thought, though his brain felt torpid and slack. He could visualise a heading, in Hermione's handwriting: The formation of International Confederation of Wizards ...' |
Trust Harry to think of Hermione, 'miss unity', when writing about 'The formation of International Confederation of Wizards'. And he can visualise her handwriting? When the brain's out to lunch, call upon the powers of Hermione because she, to Harry, represents a clear and functioning state of mind. The official repairer of broken glasses.
Oh people please! Everyone KNOWS the best H/Hr scene in the whole world.
Come on, it's so easy and obvious. You know... pg 521? ringing any bells?
The part where we all just get so mushy it's painfully ridiculous?
Awww, c'mon you know the part I'm talking about right? In Book 7, where Harry
and Hermione are crying tears of joy as they kiss each other passionately, right after
they've defeated ol' Voldemort? Yeah, that's my favorite part. That's the
one that gets me crying every time I read it. {sigh}
Hehehe, I'm so completely hopeless.

I would have to go with the SS scene. I love this one the most because every love story has a beginning. I believe this is one of their greatest moments. I look for JK to relive this moment somewhere in 6 or 7. It was, is, such a pivotal moment for H/Hr.
Like everyone else though, it's so hard to pick. I do love the moments where Harry hears Hermione as his conscious. I really find it beautiful that he hears her in moments he needs her the most. **sighs** I am so looking forward to the next two books.

Ooh, I love this thread. Ahem.
I can't believe no one has mentioned this one yet! I love all the scenes in the forbidden forest - Grawp, leading Umbridge away ... sorry, I don't have my book, so I can't quote exactly, but those are the ones that made me giggle, smile, and squee all in one (oh yeah, and afterwards, shove the book under my so-called "friend's" nose and prove her ship wrong, haha!
)!
Anyway ...
I also love the toast bit. It definitely made my day.

The scene in the Department of Mysteries got the biggest reaction out of me since Hermione is one of my favorite characters and Harry's reaction, I believe, said so much as to how he truly feels.
Other scens I liked were the "Are you going to report me scene?" (Made me go into hysterics), The first kiss at tye end of GoF, Hermione getting Harry from Bucbeak's room in OotP, Hermione's reactions early in OotP to seeing Harry again and believing he will be prefect, and the whole end of Prisoner of Azkaban basically. There are way too many good moments to be left out but this is just a few.

Yeah H/Hr used to be more subtlety and reading between the lines but it seems to be getting more obvious as the series progresses. Really starting at book 4 somewhat and especially book 5.
Ack! Couldn't vote it was definitely too hard. I love all those moments and some more than others... but I really can't choose a favourite one.
I agree, H/Hr is getting a bit more obvious.. very enjoyable.

This is such an excellent thread and I love all the posts. cew-smoke, yours made me laugh --- I am so waiting for that scene.
Okay, so I was going through the books to see if I could find a new passage because some of the great ones are already mentioned, and I happened upon this scene from PoA. At first glance, it's doesn't seem to be a big deal. It still might not be and I could be reading more into it than what's necessary.

| Only one person wasn't joining the festivities. Hermione, incredibly, was sitting in a corner, attempting to read an enormous book entitled Home Life and Social Habits of British Muggles. Harry broke away from the table where Fred and George had started juggling butterbeer bottles and went over to her. "Did you even come to the match?" he asked her "Of course I did," said Hermione in a strangely high-pitched voice, not looking up. "And I'm very glad we won, and I think you did really well, but I need to read this by Monday." |
I highlighted the inflection of Hermione's voice, because it struck me as odd. Why wouldn't she look at Harry and why was she working so hard to control her voice? Initially, the previous scene regarding Scabbers reflect the obvious. Hermione, Ron and Harry have all been bickering and it's believed the cat ate the rat. Not only that, Hermione is stressed out from taking on so much work. But, it's also not like Hermione to give Harry the brush-off when he's making a peace offering...especially to not face him. Under normal circumstances, even if they hadn't been getting along, Hermione would've been pleased and happy for Harry. Then it dawned on me - something that others probably figured out long before me - this is right after the Quidditch match when Harry really notices Cho for the first time. So much so that during the match it made Wood shout at Harry to not be a gentleman and knock Cho off her broom if necessary.
Given how observant Hermione is about *everything*, I'm wondering if it's possible she noticed this, too? After all, Hermione reveals in OotP that she knows Harry has liked Cho for ages, although this isn't something Harry ever mentioned or talked about with she or Ron.
As for Hermione's "high-pitched voice" - isn't that similar to how Harry sounded in OotP when Ron was made Prefect and Harry had to hide his disappointment --- especially in front of Hermione?
Like I said, I could be reading more into this passage than what's really there. But it's interesting to think of this as an angst moment for Hermione regarding Harry and Cho.
Besides that passage, I really like Harry defending Hermione to Ron, "Can't you give her a break?"
Spygirl
it is a really hard choice isn't it?
I went against the crowds however, and I still think that the Buckbeak, time turner part in POA is the cutest.

I wanna ask:
when harry said this statement ? in book number what ?
Take a look in PoA around the time Harry gets his broom back and he goes sits down and talks to Hermione. The statement should be around there I think.
Edit: Nevermind I found it.

| Hermione burst into tears. Before Harry could say or do anything, she tucked the enormous book under her arm, and, still sobbing, ran toward the staircase to the girls' dormitories and out of sight. "Can't you give her a break?" Harry asked Ron quietly. "No," said Ron flatly. Ch. 13 "Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw", PoA, p.265 |
There ya go.

Wow! Awesome observation! I had always wondered why she had the high pitched voice in that scene too! You've opened my eyes at the prospect of Hermione being upset over Cho.
I chose the light-headedness! 
Cos I was squee-ing as well as sighing in relief there!
