Ron and Hermione? I know it was hinted at in the fourth book, but I really can't see it. I think their intelligence levels are just too separate to work. I think she'd be better off with either an older man or a smarter guy her age. Just my opinion.
Well, I think Harry will "become" a Weasley by marrying Ginny.
I can see Ron's death fitting in to the story, but I don't see how Hermione can be killed. She is too important.
Back from the movie, toying with posting a review thread. I saw the midnight showing at a multiplex. Three large screens were sold out. I'd estimate at least 400 people per screen.
Hogwarts has been moved to Scotland and is far more detailed and beautiful than before.
Everything not essential to the central whodunit has been stripped out. Mountains of dialog have been trashcanned. No one in the audience looks at their watch and wonders how much longer this will last.
There's lots more effective humor in this one. Everything moves faster, and the school feels more like a school. The kids have grown about six inches and lost a lot of baby fat. This is kind of jarring at first, but that impression goes away.
I'm pretty sure that people unfamiliar with the story will leave confused. There's simply too much plot to follow.
Ron's not dumb, he just doesn't like school work. Remember Ron is an excellent chess player.
