Umm, have you ever read Anne of Green Gables series? Well, that's a nice one. Actually Anne & Gilbert remind me a lot of Harry and Hermione. Anne reminds me of Harry, in fact only when Gilbert is dying she realizes how much he means to her. On the other hand Gilbert reminds me of Hermione, both of them cared of their future love interest before they became friends.

Anyone see the dynamic between the two similar to Shinichi and Ran on Detective Conan?

Bravo to all of those who said Mulder and Scully! They're the first couple(and only one) that comes in my mind when I think of Harry and Hermione.

They were both so close. At first she was nagging him - and he was driving her crazy with his crazy ideas and his temperament.

But then they grew together. First as friends, then as confidents, then as something undefinable only by the term of 'friendship'. It was more than that. They had an understanding. A deepest of connections. They were soulmates.

Little William is the product of their love.

Shame that she gave him away... *sobs*

One of my most favourite X-Files scene ever goes like this:

(She puts her arms around his shoulders and they hold each other.)

MULDER: Scully, I was like you once-- I didn't know who to trust. Then I... I chose another path... another life, another fate, where I found my sister. The end of my world was unrecognizable and upside down. There was one thing that remained the same.

(He holds her face and gazes at her.)

MULDER: You... were my friend, and you told me the truth. Even when the world was falling apart, you were my constant... my touchstone.

SCULLY: And you are mine.

(They move their faces close together ... and SCULLY kisses him on the forehead. Not a peck. A very nice, sweet, long kiss. They pull slightly apart, still touching. SCULLY puts his ball cap back on his head and cups his face in her hands. They look at each other with every bit of trust, friendship, respect, love, and whatever else these two have for each other. Then she touches his lips gently with her fingers and leaves. MULDER stands in the doorway and closes his eyes.)

Can you feel the love??

Mirtilla, I completely agree with you about Anne of Green Gables. I hadn't thought of that. I think you and Pamina are dead on about Anne and Gilbert.

Hello!
Well, i didn't really think of Monica and Chandler as a couple that reminds me of H/HR but Ross and Rachael did! I think it's because R-R and H-H ... get the drill? Although i admit that Monica and Chandler have the good foundation that H/HR has...
Oh! Another couple is.. anyone an Everwood fan? I really see Harry and Hermione in Efrem and Amy !! ... I mean, Efrem is totally my Harry Potter, the only thing he needs is the glasses, whereas Amy is totally my Hermione, she just needs the wavy hair ... they look so cute together I think it's the whole, Efrem being weird and Harry is like sorta weird? I dunno ... But Efrem/Amy are most definetely my top couple that remind me of H/HR
neni =)

I missed most of last season , so I really have no idea where it's heading right now, but there was a triangle (or square, whichever way you look at it) in Smallville that somehow reminded me of HP.

Bear with me for a sec.

Clark=Harry. Hero, sensitive type of guy, you know.
Chloe=Hermione. Pretty smart, rather focused. Has crush on Clark.
Pete=Ron. Has crush on Chloe, is the funny guy of the trio.
Lana=Cho. I can't count the number of people who said that Kristin Kreuk was their idea of Cho.

So we have. Pete-->Chloe-->Clark<-->Lana (for a bit, at any rate), just like we have Ron-->Hermione-->Harry<-->Cho (for a while, and yeah, the Hermione-->Harry thing isn't concretely canon either). But you see? Sort of fits, eh? Parallels!

Besides, I'm a Clark/Chloe shipper - hey! Two Cs, two Hs...more parallels! I never did like Lana, much in the way I didn't really like Cho.

Anyone else a Smallville afficiondo? Thoughts?

Marie St. Jacques and David Webb aka The Jason Bourne.

Marie saved his life and Jason saved her life. He protected her. She protected him in return. They worked harmoniously in tandem. It was always the basic quid pro quo between them. Then they fell in love, married, and had children.

I think Marie made the huge sacrifice and paid the ultimate price for meeting Jason, only she didn't care about only her life anymore when she met him. It's as though fate brought them together and I see the same thing with Harry and Hermione. Hermione was made to care for Harry by default when she met him on the train and it's automatically become a responsibility she couldn't escape. But, just like Marie, Hermione was a willing apprentice.

Neo and Trinity of Matrix ... their great partnership

why none remember these two also exactly like our dear Harry and Hermione?!

Well, guys, take a look at this post If you want platonic friendship--->love:

http://talk.portkey.org/index.php?showtopi...ndpost&p=157553

and that's all I'm saying!

I'm not sure if anyone said this or not so please forgive me!

Harry and Hermione are definately like that couple on The Nightmare Before Christmas (can't remember names! Jack and ??????)
The rag doll was smart and was in love with Jack, and she supported everything he did even if she disagreed with his actions. Meanwhile Jack didn't even notice the ragdoll's love, but he still depended on her the most. But when things came apart at the end of the movie he relized the ragdoll was right all along and also that he was in love with her.

I think that's very much like Harry and Hermione's relationship and hopefully that's how it'll turn out in the end, with Harry relizing his love for her.

This one's been on my mind for a while. Harry and Hermione remind me a lot of Lee Stetson and Amanda King from Scarecrow and Mrs. King. For those of you who don't remember, the show was on in the mid-eighties and featured Lee, a spy, and Amanda, a housewife, teaming up to fight the bad guys. There are a lot of similarities, both in the characters and in the way the relationship developed.

Lee - something of a loner, has never really been close emotionally to anyone. His parents died when he was a child (can't remember how) and he was raised by his military-officer uncle who was strict and distant.

Amanda - steady, reliable, motherly. She was a divorced, mother of two, den mother to the cub scouts, smart in a very common-sense way.

They got together when Lee asked an unsuspecting Amanda to deliver a package to someone on the train. At first, they didn't really like each other, but as they worked together they became real partners who brought out the best in each other. Their romance developed slowly - they became friends, partners and best friends before they admitted their real feelings for each other, very much like Harry and Hermione.

What about ....

Harry and Sally from "When Harry met Sally".

I mean, they were the best of friends until one night BAM! They became lovers. Totally reminds me of harry/hermione.

For those of you that are youngins it's that movie with the line "I'll have what's she's having..."

Indeed there are some couples that remined me Harry & Hermione:
*Corey and Topanga in boy meets world
*Darien and Serena in sailor moom
*Han Solo and Leia of star wars
*Arwen and Aragon
I can't remember more right now but those remined me of H/Hr becouse they are friends they are brave they are in love

I'm with you Joogie, I totally ship Clark/Chloe. Although at first I was a Clark/Lana shipper, I changed my mind somewhere along the way. C/C totally remind me of H/Hr. (Maybe that's subconciously why I changed my mind!) It's hard though because I do like Lana's character, but I think that Chloe and Clark make a better team.

Harry/Sally - to me they seem more R/Hr. Same with Han/Leia. Both were very argumentative couples and seemed to fall in love rather arbitrarily. I have to say that I never understood Ross/Rachel. Probably for the same reason I do not understand R/Hr. Ross is too smart for her. They're unmatched intellectually. Rachel wasn't stupid, but she wasn't going to be interested in Ross' theories on mass extinction either. To me they are the epitome of a R/Hr couple; all physical attraction, zero compatibility. I honestly thought that Rachel should have been with Joey, and Ross should have been with that girl Charlie. Those couples would have made sense to me.

H/Hr reminds me most of my favorite all time couple, Mulder/Scully. They're equals, they depend on one another, protect one another, and can have different opinions while still respecting the other's point of view.

Other couples that remind me of H/Hr:
Carter/O'Neill on Stargate SG1
T'Pol/Archer on Star Trek: Enterprise (yes, I know they put her with Trip, but I still think she'd be better with Archer. T'Pol/Trip = another R/Hr. )

Yes, I realize that I am a huge .

Something just hit me, in the Princess Diaries series, Mia and Micheal's relationship is considered rather platonic but it develops into something much more. It seems to me that a lot of relationships start that way.
Is a dork.

Split this post from the Quotes Thread to give it is own. -Sarmi

Oh, I completely agree. Which is why I hate the sequel to the original. Granted it could be considered that Michael had a crush on her and Mia was so completely oblivious to it, but it was sweet and quiet.

Sarmi

Do you mean the movie? Because in the books they get together and so far stay together.

Not a fan of of Princess Diaries but I think this is an example of there-is-no-such-thing-as-platonic friends.

A friend becomes your friend through a connection. You stay friends because you're on some level attracted to them( like personality). Friends can move up or down those levels.

Except that it's obvious to the reader that Michael has a crush on Mia, she's just totally oblivious.

And you can tell right from the start that Mia has feelings for Michael as well, but that's she not aware of them.

Mia is oblivious, but she does know about her feelings as well. I had to do a book report on the second book and she very much accepts that she's madly in love with Micheal, but she keeps telling herself that she has to thinking about him. I think at this point in time, Hermione is more like Micheal. You can tell that she loves Harry alot, but he's just trying to keep himself from thinking about her too much.

-Sraighii

I was more talking about the first book which is the one that's actually called the Princess Diaries. The other ones have different names and information about what Mia learns in them might be considered spoilers.

SPOILER!

But yes, as the series goes on Mia finally realizes what her feelings are. Although I still contend that they're obvious to the reader from the very beginning so you can't reallt parallel Harry to Mia.

Plus, didn't Mia used to have crush on Michael when she was younger? I believe she says in the first book that she did. I'll have to look at my copy again.

But yeah. Whatever happened to that guy in the Princess Diaries? I noticed they were together at the end of the first one, but Michael wasn't even in the second one, even though his sister was in there. What was her name? Lily, I think? Anyway, I wonder what happened to them. Maybe they broke up because she had to move to Genovia????? If anyone knows the real reason???

Dark Sorcerer SEB

The "them breaking up when she goes to Genovia or whatever" is in the movie not the books. In the books they get together in the third and so far still haven't broken up, not to mention she isn't living in Genovia in the books and... well I can go on foreve on the inacuaracies of the movie compared o the book, but I'll spare you.

Ooh... I was watching the movie and it struck me how close the resemblance between Mia and Hermione. *the hair..* The relationship between Micheal and Mia is similar to Harry and Hermione, too.

I have a question because I have never seen the book or books. I have seen the movies though. in the second movie where Mia becomes queen of Genovia.. Micheal is out of the picture, she says at the beginning that she has never been in love. By the end of the movie she and Lord Devero, Nickolas, are in love and I got the impression that is who she ends up marrying.. Is there a second book or series of books? Or was the second movie just made up on it's own as a sequal?

Curently there are six books in the series. The series takes place during ninth and tenth grade. In the first one she discovers her princess-ship (in the book it is cause her father can't have children, not that he died. Also her grandma is evil, she lives in New York, and her mom is dating Mia's Algebra teacher ) In the second movie (which I haven't seen and refuse to) she becomes queen or whatever and Micheal is absent. In the books she in't even close to being queen and she is still dating Micheal. I would highly recomend reading the books, they are way way better than the movies. Then you can see the similarities. Hmmm I wonder if Meg Cabot (author of Princess Diaries) ships H/Hr. I know she has read the books because she mentions them in the third book...

The Priness Diaries is somewhat similar to Harry and Hermione but not by much. In the movies, Mia does seem completely oblivious to the fact that Michael likes her. This is similar in the Harry Potter series because Harry is oblivious to the fact that Hermione might have a slight crush on him.

Mod Note: Merging this with a thread already dealing with this subject in H/Hr. ~Jennifer/Hermione's Twin

For the longest time (since I first became a pumpkineer), whenever I saw a show or a movie with two characters who deserve to be together, I usually would look for other traits that reminded me of Harry and Hermione. I wanted to see all you other guys opinions on characters of shows, books, or movies that remind you of Harry and Hermione. Or even better, the entire trio. It could be looks, personality, or both. Or anything really!

Just name the characters, where you found them, and maybe why they remin you of those three HP characters. But don't start making this into a R/hr thread, the characters who hook up (or the ones you want to hook up) must be the ones that remind you of Harry and Hermione!

Me, here's just a few that I can think of right now:
Rick(Harry) and Evey(Hermione) from the mummy and the mummy returns movies. I guess Jonathan could be Ron.

Li and Sakura from cardcaptors Sakura ~ they kind of fell upon their feelings, and never really discussed it, but you can see that it's there!

So there's just a few for starters. Tell me what you think!
Cheer, MBM *~*

Sam/Jack: Stargate:SG1

Lois/Clark: Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman

Paul/Chani: Dune

Luke/Mara: Star Wars

Obi-Wan/Anakin: Star Wars

Anakin/Padme: Star Wars

Jaina/Jag: Star Wars

Jaina/Zekk: Star Wars

Kira/Odo: Star Trek

Riker/Troi: Star Trek

Kira/Bariel: Star Trek

Kira/Shaakar: Star Trek

Picard/Crusher: Star Trek

Worf/Jadzia: Star Trek

I know the LotR parallels have been done to death in many other sites but there are several moments with Aragorn/Arwen that reminded me a lot of H/Hr. Also, the moments of loyalty with Sam & Frodo is a perfect comparason to Harry & Ron or Harry & Hermione. Another parallel I'd like to point out in this particular story is that of Eowyn with Ginny. The reason I bring this up is because Eowyn, like Ginny, had the whole "celebrity crush" on Aragorn & is a bit of a tomboy in the aspect of her skills with a sword (when compared with Ginny's Quidditch skilled). Aragorn, like Harry with Ginny, told Eowyn (in the movie, that is - don't know about the book) that they couldn't be together.

Other comparisons I'd like to point out:

Sabrina (staring Audrey Hepburn)
Sabrina = Hermione
Linus = Harry
David = Ron

Ever After
Prince Henry = Harry
Danielle de Barbarac/Comtesse Nicole de Lancret = Hermione
Captain Laurent (for Henry) or Gustave (for Danielle) = Ron

Spiderman
Peter = Harry
Mary Jane = Hermione
Harry Osmond = Ron

Pirates of the Caribbean
Jack Sparrow = Ron
Will Turner = Harry
Elizabeth Swan = Hermione

(These next 3 movies were not very widespread, but they're very popular in my church)

Singles Ward
Jonathan Jordan = Harry
Cammie Giles = Hermione

The R.M. (Returned Missionary)
Jared Phelps = Harry
Kelly Powers = Hermione
Kori Swenson = Ron

The Work & the Glory
Nathan Steed = Harry
Lydia McBride = Hermione
Joseph Smith = Harry
Hyrum Smith = Ron

hhmmm

Hamtaro: Hamtaro/Bijou
CSI: Gil/Sara
Boy Meets World: Cory/Topanga
Gilmore Girls: Luke/Lorelai

There are some other book romances that also remind me of them but hey are more of a R/Hr thing

I agree with most of you, but I have a couple, Inuyasha/Kagome from the anime, Inuyasha. Even though these two bicker some of the time, but if you think about it, Harry and Hermione were almost bickering in book six.

But Inuyasha has his soft side, like Harry. He cares about Kagome so much, he can't even fight strongly without her. Plus, their personalities are the same.

Kagome is like Hermione, she can't take rejection well. She's smart, she has great power, and has a kind heart, just like Hermione.

I totally agree. I love "The Village". Ivy and Lucius remind me of Harry and Hermione now that I think about it.

RIght know, the couple that reminds me most of Harry and Hermione is from a new anime series, called "Tsubasa Chronicle". It's Sakura and Syaoran. For those of you that have seen Cardcaptor Sakura, in Tsubasa Chronicles we see many of the characters that appeared in CCS, although somewhat different.

Yes! I agree wholheartedly, though I think the realtionship progressed a little faster than H/Hr.




I love Monica/Chandler! I wonder why I didn't think of that before?




I agree on a simple level, though Anne/Gilbert always reminded me more of Lily/James than H/Hr, just because she hated him for awhile, then they were friends, and then more.

Others:
Cory/Topanga
Will/Elizabeth

Darien and Serena from Sailor Moon, definitly. *loveloveloves that pairing*

and...the best of them all: Scully/Mulder fro X-Files! (dammit, I missed the episode today on FX :[ )

Cory/Topenga from Boy Meets World
Tommy/Lil from Rugrats
Will/Elizabeth from PotC
Luke/Lorelai from Gilmore Girls
Padme/Anakin from Star Wars
Luke/Mara Jade from Star Wars EU (Timothy Zahn is the best EU author ever. )

Luke/Lorelai? I really don't see it but I do see it in Dean/Rory.

I think H/Hr fit Sa/Sy in CCS, too. Syaoran was always protecting Sakura in CCS.



It's Mamoru and Usagi!! Mamoru and Usagi!! *is rabid fangirl who hates the DiC dub*

*coughs a bit*

Ok, I have a couple:

Danny/Sam: Danny Phantom
