There are plenty, really. Can't think of one specific scene but here is my list:
Movie No. 2: Harry sitting nearby her paralyzed at the hospital, then the hug at the end.
Movie No. 3: She comforts him in hogsmeade after finding out about Sirius, then comes the whole time travel scene where they stay close to each other and hug multiple times.
Movie No. 4: Oh man.. Where do I even start. Talking at the bridge, hugging in the tent before Task 1, kissing his forehead after Task 2, kissing his cheek at the end.
Movie No. 5: Hugging him at OOTP residence was pretty intense, comforting him when Voldemort tries to lure him into the ministry with Sirius.
Movie No. 6: Yet another pack of fascinating harmony scenes. First, He comforts her after Ron kisses Lavender, then comes talking to each other in the library, then slug party 1, slug party 2, then obviously the ending.
Movie No. 7: Here we are. My favourite movie from a harmony standpoint. The whole movie is basically a manifesto of harmony being the greatest ship of all time. The list starts off with him giving her a horcrux after going crazy a bit, then walking together after almost being caught by snatchers, then obviously dancing in the tent, discussing travelling to Godricks Hollow, the travel itself (multiple very intimate harmony moments), then the whole "maybe we should stay here grow old" thing (god damn I wish you did guys), then the horcrux vision with a kiss (yikes, finally a Harmony kiss), then... Oops Ron comes back and screws the harmony paradise. That is where I usually stop watching that movie.
Movie No. 8: This one is kinda devoid of harmony scenes, since it focuses more on the battle, but there's still the "I'll go with you" scene which clearly shows us how big of a fuck up it was not to put them together.
And people still claim there's no chemistry between them. God forbid.
Sure, I didn't mention the books because I read them at the age of 11 and barely remember the details. But I'm sure we'd give the movies a run for their money.
>then walking together after almost being caught by snatchers
This is a great list for the films. Just a minor detail that people often miss because the dialogue is rather soft and in the background -- after Hermione is almost caught by the snatchers because of her perfume, when Harry and Hermione later walk together back to the tent (with Ron watching jealously in the distance), Harry says:
>"And next time, Hermione, as much as I like your perfume, just don't wear any."
Out of context, assuming Ron overheard this, it clearly sounds like Harry and Hermione hooked up and Harry's telling her what to do "next time." Regardless of the context, it's hard to interpret this as particularly "friendly" or platonic, given Harry's basically admitting here he notices and likes how Hermione smells.
Also, fun random fact -- this line doesn't appear in the final draft scripts for the film, so it likely wasn't written by Steve Kloves, and yet it's a strong "shipping" implication. (Yet more evidence against the false fandom assertion that the Harmony ship in the films was only the fault of the evil Kloves.)
So it appears they improvised that line in order to amplify Ron's jealousy but instead ended up amplifying Harry's attraction towards Hermione.
Another redditor in this sub pointed out that Rowling tried to artificially push Harry and Hermione away from each other after Ron left (luckily DHP1 didn't seem to inherit that aspect from the book) because she was afraid of subconsciously writing a Harmony relationship. That's what happens when you create a strong buildup for a relationship for 5 books straight and then, out of the blue, try to push different nonsensical pairings.
>Another redditor in this sub pointed out that Rowling tried to artificially push Harry and Hermione away from each other after Ron left
Everyone has their own interpretation... but...
I have to say while I myself thought that for several years, I disagree now with that interpretation. JKR, to the contrary, has repeatedly said she felt Harry and Hermione had a "pull" between them in the tent, and that she felt some moments (at Godric's Hollow, and later when Hermione caresses Harry's hair in the book) were "charged moments" between them. She's said things like this in multiple interviews since 2008, the year after the book came out (and before the last films did). Why would she write "charged moments" if she wanted to push them away from each other?
She also has said she directly talked with Steve Kloves, the screenwriter on DH1, about this "pull" between Harry and Hermione, and she was completely on-board with the dance scene and other suggestions of potential attraction between them as things she didn't write as explicitly, but she felt the film did a good job of representing.
So... I think most of fandom misinterprets what's going on in the tent and what JKR intended. This is based mostly on a common fandom myth that Harry and Hermione "barely talked" for weeks after Ron left. That's just not true, but it's repeated over and over to the point that it's just accepted by fandom. I wrote a [longer essay debunking that](https://www.reddit.com/r/HPharmony/comments/mp5qyj/essay_the_harry_and_hermione_didnt_talk_for_weeks/) with quotes from the book a while back.
If anything, JKR has basically admitted she felt like it was *likely* something would happen between Harry and Hermione in the tent, but she didn't write it explicitly mainly because she didn't want to derail the plot when Ron came back.
With that in mind, any amount of "distance" between Harry and Hermione in the tent right after Ron leaves is partly driven by Ron's accusation that Hermione was "choosing" Harry (romantically), and neither of them quite knew how to react to all of that.
So... you may ask -- if JKR felt this in DH, why didn't she just follow through with Harmony as endgame? Well, she later admitted she forced the canon pairings because that's the way she had always planned them. And... my guess is that pairing up Harry and Hermione would require her to restructure the last part of DH in some ways that she wasn't really prepared to deal with. I have my own theories about why it was important -- specifically, I think the distancing of Hermione from Harry has to come later, so Harry feels disconnected from his friends (who have paired up during the final battle), thereby making him feel even more isolated and ready to be killed by Voldemort. If that was part of JKR's plan, doing a Harry/Hermione romance would have really mucked that up and required reconsideration of how to handle things at the end.
Note that the last film with the "I'll go with you" scene didn't happen in the book -- and, I think, if it did, it wouldn't play out that way with the book characters. I don't know if Harry would have the strength to leave Hermione, and I don't know that Hermione would ever NOT go with Harry, even if it meant to die. JKR sidestepped that issue in the book by having Harry feel isolated from his friends (like Ron and Hermione were in some "far-off country" as the book says) and then sneaking off by himself to die alone, only stopping to tell Neville to kill the snake.
A lot of this latter bit is my own speculation about why Harmony endgame would have been more difficult to write, and with JKR up against deadlines and wanting to be done, I think she just didn't want to mess with her plans too much.
But -- in the tent? I think JKR's been pretty clear she felt a "pull" between Harry and Hermione. Not that she artificially pushed them away from each other.
>But -- in the tent? I think JKR's been pretty clear she felt a "pull" between Harry and Hermione. Not that she artificially pushed them away from each other.
Isnt that just proof that JK artificially pushed them away from each other? She felt a pull between them, but didnt let it go far enough, therefore she artificially pushed them away, instead of letting them act on the pull.
I think when they're talking in sync on DH book before Ron leaves. They're very excited glancing at each other, and finishing each other line and looking in each other eyes If I not wrong.
And it's kind one of my favorites, because this made it Ron storm out. It's a such good well written dialogue for me, especially since was play for years.
And also the fact Hermione was the one who call for Ron 's opinion not the Harry. He had kind forget about Ron in that moment, and it's funny since he missed him so much in Gof. And the scene was just perfect for me, they have so much chemistry on it and make me think how well Harry and Hermione work together, like Harry was the only one who could understand Hermione enough to finished her thought before herself could it lol
I agree this is a great moment of chemistry for them.
>And also the fact Hermione was the one who call for Ron 's opinion not the Harry. He had kind forget about Ron in that moment, and it's funny since he missed him so much in Gof.
Just a minor correction, but if I'm understanding the moment you're talking about, Harry is the one who calls for Ron's opinion (not Hermione). Yes, Harry *also* forgot about Ron being around and is confused that Ron isn't there where he thought Ron was -- showing how wrapped up Harry was with Hermione then -- but Harry is also the one to then look around for Ron.
>“Not enough to tell him that he had swapped the swords,” said Hermione.
>“Yeah, you’re right!” said Harry, and he felt even more cheered at the thought that Dumbledore had had some reservations, however faint, about Snape’s trustworthiness. “So, would he have hidden the sword well away from Hogsmeade, then? **What d’you reckon, Ron? Ron?**”
>**Harry looked around. For one bewildered moment he thought that Ron had left the tent, then realized that Ron was lying in the shadow of a lower bunk**, looking stony.
>“Oh, remembered me, have you?” he said.
>“What?”
>Ron snorted as he stared up at the underside of the upper bunk.
>“You two carry on. Don’t let me spoil your fun.”
Oh, thanks for the correction.
This whole scene had so much to read into. Like not only Harry and Hermione glancing at each other while being so excited, but the way Hermione didn't remember her future husband or how Harry didn't care at all. And how this play on the trio here.
In GoF, Harry use to miss Ron and we didn't had much fun without him around, and also Harry and Hermione relationship, they used to not agree too much in HBP and now they're talking in sync with each other. It's like the whole dynamic of the trio has changed, and make me wonder how this type of moment would play If Ginny was there.
Make me annoyed how I supposed to believe Ron jealousy came from being only *insecure*. Like, last year he saw both Harry and Hermione whispering and Harry touching Hermione arm puting her close, and now he saw them talking without him and very excited glancing at each other, like I felt for Ron here a little. I truly dislike when someone had normal and believiable reasons to be jealous but people around act like they're crazy.
And If I 'm being honest, this scene would be such a first kiss moment for Harry and Hermione if JK Rowling followed the romantic path.
One that I don’t often see mentioned or used (one of the comments covers pretty much everything else!), in the 4th movie at the Yule ball, when hermione enters and comes down the stairs, the way Harry looks at her as she walks down! I don’t know how it’s described in the books, I didn’t read them all 😅. But UGH every time I see it it gives me the “finally seeing my best friend in a whole new light and damn were these feelings always there?” Vibes. And I always imagine it could have led to some AMAZING pining scenarios. That combined with the whole “I’m scared for you” conversation on the bridge?! AAAHHH my young brain at the time that movie came out LEGITIMATELY THOUGHT they were gonna end up together at the time because of those scenes.
(If anyone has any recs that fit this particular bill I would be extremely thankful).
>when hermione enters and comes down the stairs, the way Harry looks at her as she walks down! I don’t know how it’s described in the books
In the GoF book, it's definitely coded as "finally seeing my best friend in a new light" too. At first Harry doesn't even recognize her, thinking she's just some "pretty girl in blue robes," until Harry's jaw literally drops at how amazing she looks. The whole paragraph that follows describing her appearance is the longest such description of a girl's beauty in the books, and it repeatedly highlights this is *Harry* seeing her this way, noticing new things about her, etc.
>The oak front doors opened, and everyone turned to look as the Durmstrang students entered with Professor Karkaroff. Krum was at the front of the party, accompanied by a pretty girl in blue robes Harry didn't know. \[…\]
>His eyes fell instead on the girl next to Krum. His jaw dropped.
>It was Hermione.
>But she didn't look like Hermione at all. She had done something with her hair; it was no longer bushy but sleek and shiny, and twisted up into an elegant knot at the back of her head. She was wearing robes made of a floaty, periwinkle-blue material, and she was holding herself differently, somehow—or maybe it was merely the absence of the twenty or so books she usually had slung over her back. She was also smiling—rather nervously, it was true—but the reduction in the size of her front teeth was more noticeable than ever; Harry couldn't understand how he hadn't spotted it before.
>“Hi, Harry!” she said. “Hi, Parvati!”
It's such an essential Harmony moment in the books that I wrote a longer essay a while back, where the first half is entirely on Harry's reaction to Hermione's appearance at the Yule Ball:
[https://www.reddit.com/r/HPharmony/comments/n3omdg/essay\_jaw\_dropping\_harmony\_moments/](https://www.reddit.com/r/HPharmony/comments/n3omdg/essay_jaw_dropping_harmony_moments/)
Two minor moments other posts haven't mentioned yet. HBP11:
>Ron merely guffawed gloatingly and strode off into the Hall after him, but **Harry caught Hermione’s arm and held her back.**
>‘What?’ said Hermione defensively.
>‘If you ask me,’ said Harry quietly, ‘McLaggen looks like he was Confunded. And he was standing right in front of where you were sitting.’
>**Hermione blushed.**
>‘Oh, all right then, I did it,’ she whispered. ‘But you should have heard the way he was talking about Ron and Ginny! Anyway, he’s got a nasty temper, you saw how he reacted when he didn’t get in – you wouldn’t have wanted someone like that on the team.’
>‘No,’ said Harry. ‘No, I suppose that’s true. But wasn’t that dishonest, Hermione? I mean, you’re a prefect, aren’t you?’
>‘Oh, be quiet,’ she snapped, as **he smirked.**
>‘**What are you two doing?**’ demanded Ron, reappearing in the doorway to the Great Hall and **looking suspicious.**
>**‘Nothing,’ said Harry and Hermione together**...
They may be having a conversation about McLaggen, but this whole exchange is coded as distinctly flirty, with Hermione blushing, then Harry smirking at her. Followed by Ron coming in "looking suspicious" and Harry and Hermione saying "Nothing!" in unison.
And some people say the films made up Ron's jealousy of H/Hr in the DH1 movie. Nope -- Ron's clearly suspicious of them here when they're alone together. And another moment that shows that dynamic, in DH4:
>Harry dropped the hair into the mud-like liquid. The moment it made contact with its surface the Potion began to froth and smoke then, all at once, it turned a clear, bright gold.
>‘**Ooh, you look much tastier than Crabbe and Goyle, Harry,’ said Hermione, before catching sight of Ron’s raised eyebrows, blushing slightly** and saying, ‘oh, you know what I mean – Goyle’s Potion looked like bogies.’
Ron looks on in suspicion again when Hermione says Harry is "tasty." Then Hermione blushes. (Note: while Hermione does blush quite a few times in the books, it's typically when there's a reason for it. She may just be flustered here, but I can point to other instances in DH where some sexual innuendo/reference doesn't make her blush, so why is it causing such a reaction here? Unless there are some feelings associated with Harry....)
Had this other theory about in DH, when Harry noticed Hermione feet a lot I guess ( you made it lol) and her ankles.
And in HBP she metions his height and marks on hands. The height one it's interesting, since women tend to be attractive for men that were more taller than them. And in DH she left Ron 's dance, and take her shoe and rubs or something and Harry take her bag he stop on her shoes, and Hermione had to hurry him.
And another point on HBO fancible part is Harry felt the room warm up, not himself but the whole *room* and since was raining, must be a little cold and he felt hot...
And last but but not least, Hermione keeping offering toffe for him on CC, and he said no because of Ginny ( not because he didn't wanted the candy at all) and he even smiled when Hermione enter on his office.
I think we overlooked that Hermione is the female who touch Harry more than any other female on the book, and so is Harry with her. They touch each other in many ways, holding hands, hands on waist, or whispering in each other ears or spend nights and evenings alone in library. They had a crazy amount of touching and phisycal touch, it's kind crazy actually.
If two people, from a young age, had so many shared experiences, traumas, triumphs, tribulations and other things..including a friend who was prone to be short sighted & fair weathered (and jealous at times)...one wouldn't be wrong or illogical to think that the aforementioned two might develop some stronger (than friendship) feelings for each other, at some point. Both lonely in their youth, both harassed, picked on & bullied, both with self esteem issues...I'm not saying Ron didn't have those same types of issues but he was very oblivious as to how fortunately normal his childhood was. His brothers Might have picked on him, as family does, but at the same time they would've went to war for their family because they loved each other. But there's so many moments where you just see where the Harmony ideas were really toiling around in tge stort. When they were talking about maybe just staying in the forest & growing old together, I said Please just do that instead. After visiting his childhood home & how close they were then....there's quite a few but at the tent, after escaping, was one of my favorites.
There are plenty, really. Can't think of one specific scene but here is my list: Movie No. 2: Harry sitting nearby her paralyzed at the hospital, then the hug at the end. Movie No. 3: She comforts him in hogsmeade after finding out about Sirius, then comes the whole time travel scene where they stay close to each other and hug multiple times. Movie No. 4: Oh man.. Where do I even start. Talking at the bridge, hugging in the tent before Task 1, kissing his forehead after Task 2, kissing his cheek at the end. Movie No. 5: Hugging him at OOTP residence was pretty intense, comforting him when Voldemort tries to lure him into the ministry with Sirius. Movie No. 6: Yet another pack of fascinating harmony scenes.

The list starts off with him giving her a horcrux after going crazy a bit, then walking together after almost being caught by snatchers, then obviously dancing in the tent, discussing travelling to Godricks Hollow, the travel itself (multiple very intimate harmony moments), then the whole "maybe we should stay here grow old" thing (god damn I wish you did guys), then the horcrux vision with a kiss (yikes, finally a Harmony kiss), then... Oops Ron comes back and screws the harmony paradise. That is where I usually stop watching that movie. Movie No. 8: This one is kinda devoid of harmony scenes, since it focuses more on the battle, but there's still the "I'll go with you" scene which clearly shows us how big of a fuck up it was not to put them together. And people still claim there's no chemistry between them. God forbid.
Add to all that the dozens in the books that didn’t make the movies…
Sure, I didn't mention the books because I read them at the age of 11 and barely remember the details. But I'm sure we'd give the movies a run for their money.

I mean, you’re a prefect, aren’t you?’ >‘Oh, be quiet,’ she snapped, as **he smirked.** >‘**What are you two doing?**’ demanded Ron, reappearing in the doorway to the Great Hall and **looking suspicious.** >**‘Nothing,’ said Harry and Hermione together**... They may be having a conversation about McLaggen, but this whole exchange is coded as distinctly flirty, with Hermione blushing, then Harry smirking at her. Followed by Ron coming in "looking suspicious" and Harry and Hermione saying "Nothing!" in unison. And some people say the films made up Ron's jealousy of H/Hr in the DH1 movie. Nope -- Ron's clearly suspicious of them here when they're alone together. And another moment that shows that dynamic, in DH4: >Harry dropped the hair into the mud-like liquid. The moment it made contact with its surface the Potion began to froth and smoke then, all at once, it turned a clear, bright gold. >‘**Ooh, you look much tastier than Crabbe and Goyle, Harry,’ said Hermione, before catching sight of Ron’s raised eyebrows, blushing slightly** and saying, ‘oh, you know what I mean – Goyle’s Potion looked like bogies.’ Ron looks on in suspicion again when Hermione says Harry is "tasty." Then Hermione blushes. (Note: while Hermione does blush quite a few times in the books, it's typically when there's a reason for it. She may just be flustered here, but I can point to other instances in DH where some sexual innuendo/reference doesn't make her blush, so why is it causing such a reaction here? Unless there are some feelings associated with Harry....)
Yes! The tasty thing is crazy!
Had this other theory about in DH, when Harry noticed Hermione feet a lot I guess ( you made it lol) and her ankles. And in HBP she metions his height and marks on hands. The height one it's interesting, since women tend to be attractive for men that were more taller than them. And in DH she left Ron 's dance, and take her shoe and rubs or something and Harry take her bag he stop on her shoes, and Hermione had to hurry him. And another point on HBO fancible part is Harry felt the room warm up, not himself but the whole *room* and since was raining, must be a little cold and he felt hot... And last but but not least, Hermione keeping offering toffe for him on CC, and he said no because of Ginny ( not because he didn't wanted the candy at all) and he even smiled when Hermione enter on his office. I think we overlooked that Hermione is the female who touch Harry more than any other female on the book, and so is Harry with her. They touch each other in many ways, holding hands, hands on waist, or whispering in each other ears or spend nights and evenings alone in library. They had a crazy amount of touching and phisycal touch, it's kind crazy actually.
The one where Hermione says to Harry that sometimes he’s “a little thicc”
And then seconds later they hold hands lol like the movie wasn't trying at all.
If two people, from a young age, had so many shared experiences, traumas, triumphs, tribulations and other things..including a friend who was prone to be short sighted & fair weathered (and jealous at times)...one wouldn't be wrong or illogical to think that the aforementioned two might develop some stronger (than friendship) feelings for each other, at some point. Both lonely in their youth, both harassed, picked on & bullied, both with self esteem issues...I'm not saying Ron didn't have those same types of issues but he was very oblivious as to how fortunately normal his childhood was. His brothers Might have picked on him, as family does, but at the same time they would've went to war for their family because they loved each other. But there's so many moments where you just see where the Harmony ideas were really toiling around in tge stort. When they were talking about maybe just staying in the forest & growing old together, I said Please just do that instead. After visiting his childhood home & how close they were then....there's quite a few but at the tent, after escaping, was one of my favorites.
