Everyone on here, I agree with!
It's very true that he was...well....cheerful after Hermiones kiss! Woohoo!!

Yup.... I guess that pretty much says it.... Harry was too preoccupied with the death of Cedric and he wasn't really reacting to anything at that time.... and yes Hermione was the first person who ever showed Harry pure affection.... hug in the first book before he went to face Quirrell.... I think these are signs....

I agree with everyone except that I think Harry did react to it. He noticed that she's never done that. Had he been completely preocupied he wouldn't have given it another thought, he would've realized that she's never done that before, somewhere later. Anyway, but I also agree that he really didn't react to anyone in any huge way.

I really wish we would get a reaction!
I mean when Hermione kissed Ron in OotP, we got a reaction from Ron!
I want a reaction from Harry as well...
But I agree with karenkate_kitty that he was preoccupied with Cedric's death.

I agree with dreamin_athena , Harry did react from the kiss in GOF, only it was not the one so commonly anticipated. Rather, it was a mental note, a reaction in his brain that told him Hermione has done something she has never done before.

That's definitely a reaction. But not physiologically manifested. But a reaction nonetheless.

Good spotting there, dreamin-athena.

That's true, he did notice that she'd never done that before...
That makes me feel a little bit better

(Ok, it's just me speculating, but...)

I think that the simple fact that he noticed that Hermione has kissed him for the first time made he wonder why she did that.

And that's a good reaction IMHO, although it's not a big one. I mean, I'm sure that if he was too pleased or too disgusted about the kiss, probably JKR would let us know that. He couldn't be too pleased, because he really just saw Hermione as a friend in GoF and he still had his "Cho's infatuation".

But I think that kiss is definitely something that Harry "carries" with him (just like the way Hermione looked in the Yule Ball). Maybe, later in the series, these factors might help him notice Hermione in a whole new light .

Good points re Harry's shock over Cedric's death, yet he still noted that Hermione did something she had never done before.

Hermione IS the only one who shows him any affection and I also think that no reaction means HIDDEN REACTION!

Harry definitely had a reaction.... he was surprised by that certain kiss but he also had another things in mind.... he may not have given the reaction we wanted but he was in troubled state.... i mean he just saw someone die....never the less he noticed and that's a good sign.....and Hermione is very affectionate towards and no other shipper can detest to that.... don't give me that their just friends crap.... i had enough of it..... hmm..... i guess i was a little pissed sorry about my outburst... i had just been bashed and i'm not the type who goes arguing with unreasonable people.... and to think it was on a neutral board..... I never bash even in our own turf why do they like doing that.. picking on an H/Hr shipper all the time....well, i got over it.... moving on

Al right, accoriding to some R/Hr Shippers the kiss on the cheek in GoF is a sign that Hermione is just interested in frienly things with Harry (Aha! someof them wish it was)

But just the way Rowling writes it, makes me thing (as Ive always had) that is a H/Hr proof.

You deserve pumpkin pie for that post, but I'll wait for Sunshinebelle to get here before hugs are given out.

For she is queen of the hug. (am I weird)

Oh, and horray H/H! I wonder what Hermione looked like after the kiss. It didn't really tell us did it?

I can't even remember if Harry even met her parents yet. (I read wayyy too much fanfiction) Anyone know who they are or what they look like? They're dentists, right?

And Hermione was probably super-happy, I agree. Skip-a-dee-do-da skip-a-dee-day...

Lol...I dunno about the SKIPPING...although it'd be hilarious. Go read Sirius83's essay about Hermione's overall feelings in OotP on the Pumpkinpie's Army board...it has a great analysis of this kiss through OotP.

Good theory! All of us might have not thought of this before except you! Good theory! Keep looking for more evidence!

Cool theory! Very intelligent!
And YES I am the QUEEN of the hug!!! (In real life too.. Im the most annoyingly cuddly person you'll ever meet in your life! haha!) Thanks for pointing it out.. makes me proud! haha!
*GIVES HUGE HUGS TO EVERYONE*

There you go my official hug!

And as I was saying, thats true.. it DID say it in those words.. so maybe humm.. one of the SUBTLE clues JKR is leaving!!! Its just like how everyone thinks Harry and Hermione are boyfriend/girlfriend! Whats the point of having that in the story if its not important for something?! She wouldnt have put the 'and she did something she had never done before' part in, if it wasnt tremendously significant.
Meh, I dont see whats so special about the R/Hr kiss.. she kissed harry too afterwards (remember the 'and you, Harry--') the only difference is that Ron reacted significantly (like he wouldnt! We already know he likes her!) Harry just doesnt know that hes in love with her yet.. he'll realize it soon though, im sure!

Oh and good thoughts everyone with the wondering about Hermione's face.. im actually curious about Harry's face. I wonder if he'll blush.

ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT THEY BETTER NOT TAKE THAT OUT OF THE MOVIE!
IF THEY DO... I KILL!!!!!!!!!! And send HATE MAIL!!!!

LOL!

Wouldnt you guys be majorly pissed if that happened??

PS: OT.. now I can be the official Hug/Welcomer in the Pumpkin pie thingy!!!

~*Amanda

::Sobs:: what am I the queen of?... Oh don't you dare think that!!!

Anyways... Yes, brilliant... totally brilliant. Why haven't I spotted this before? It's because I'm dumb But, actually I think I did think along those lines when I first read GoF... it just seemed so odd, yet it meant something!

Dreamer~

Yes I think it means something!
And you, Dreamer blue can be the queen of wackos or something like that!
Haha! Ok that was stupid..
never mind *shuffles off*

~*Amanda

oh you are right! This is a very good point!! hehe, that part is so cute, and it has to mean something!!!

Ah yes- the kiss! I think that was a breakthrough for Hermione to realize her feelings for Harry. I just wish he would take it more seriously! ugh boys! sometimes they are just so clueless!

yup boys are too clueless.... a girl sometimes have to say it to them straight up before they notice anything

I think I posted this somewhere before, so I won't go into the full details, but, yeah, I think that because JK chose to put it into that context, Harry definitely noticed, and it meant something to him.

I've noticed that too. I've also noticed how JKR is constantly ambiguous when it comes to possible shipping clues. The H/Hr kiss seemed to stick out in my mind( as with the rest of us )because of that one line. The only thing the R/Hr kiss seemed to prove, was to give another clue that Ron likes Hermione( we really didn't even need another one ).

and it didn't prove that Hermione liked him in return because I have a feeling that the kiss was to prevent him from seeing those Weasley is our king badges.... No harm done H/Hr rules!!!!!

Quite. Especially as Hermione said "and you too, Harry -" the '-' implies that her words were interrupted by her kissing Harry also. Ron just reacted in a funny way and it was noticeable to Harry.

yup.... she kissed him too that's a really nice thought..... heck i wish it was true

Yes, I'm sure there was a H/Hr kiss then!
I just think that JKR was trying to draw attention away from it, so it's less noticable. She just wants R/Hr to be really obvious, because then no one will expect H/Hr when it BAM! Happens! Horray!!!!!!!! *this is the part where you cheer*

j.k.rowling said that it took her ten years to lead uo to the closing scene
in the gof. and those who have read it no its significance. thats why she
did not want it leaked out. now why is a kiss on the cheek significant?

because it opened a whole new door of perspective and were not talking about tension

Thank you.. I hope we find closeing in this one....

Those R/Hr ppl are just mad becasue hermoine and ron don't have a little kiss.

I feel bad for J.K. Rowling (god bless her).. she has to decide the WORLDWIDE argument between R/HR and H/HR or even to decide. Knowing her, i think she'll leave it a blank.

well, who would want to take her place then? I would and make a nice H/Hr ending and mind you i won't kill off Ron either..... because I'd be in such a good mood after writing the last chapters

Yes, I read that it took her ten years to work up to the closing scene, which got the wheels in my brain turning too..
but whatever she dies, I dont think she's really paying attention to what we want.
I dont think she frankly cares! haha!
Ah well, hopefully there will be a nice H/Hr ending.. if not, then it will always been H/H for me at least!

~*Amanda

Yeah...... I agree with sunshinebelle......

I never thought one of my posts would last........ I don't think this will.... you'll get tired of it some day......

it is so meant to be. ron/hermione shippers will hold on to everything to throw down our ship!!! you will see in the end. harry hermione until the end!

Also, the kiss Harry recieved was really Hermione's first go at kissing any body at all. Now, that's special, even if it's only on the cheek. After all, I seriously doubt the Hermione had kissed anyone before Harry and the first kiss (on anywhere) is always the most significant.

I do agree that the kiss hermione gave ron was a distraction tool, but I just think that the kiss hermione gave harry only partially proves that she likes him and I don't think it proves that harry likes her, because if it did we would have seen more emotion in Harry after she kissed him.Just my opinion.

Hee,hee. I knew that kiss would mean something! You can't imagine how I squealed of happiest when I read it

mmmmmn?....very billiant little theory..about H/Hr. You see some small hint can be BIG THING..NICE JOB..mexican girl

Really good theory!

JK keep his felings about the kiss by making the Weasley Twins goingo to speak with him...You can see that he dont even said a word to them,like hes was shocked(Hermione kissed me!) you Know??JK loves to do that.She done again in book V when she cut the kiss Hermione gave Harry when they were going to the their first game of the season...that woman will kill us.....

Merging this with a related thread ~gal-texter

Okay guys. I need help. I've been wondering about this for quite some time now. In GOF, we all know that Hermione kisses Harry on the cheek as they say their goodbyes at King's cross.
