You might be on to something! But I’m already married! :)

Nice work, Emma.

Eruditewitch have you seen the pictures of the POA premiere?the behind the scenes in GOF dvd?Everyone without blindness know that Dan and Emma had a thing during 2003-2005,Emma can’t say"oh yes,we had a romance"because all the fans would be mad and the media too

I respect Emma too much to go against her own words. Saying things like that about her when she says they are untrue is not fair to her.

“You might be on to something! But I’m already married!”

EruditeWitch: When has reality ever been an obstacle to shipping?

Happy Holidays to you and radcakesfan. lol

So radcakesfan thinks Emma is just lying with her R/Hr shipping? Riiight.

Now I’m beggining to think you’re a troll.

Well Eruditewitch the images are pretty obvious,the words can be lies

Mora- You are calling Emma a liar now? Wow…

Ann- I think maybe you should read my scribbulus essay to understand shipping and shippers a little better.

Eruditewitch first see the pictures and images,i’m talking about proofs…i remember when Zac and Vanessa were in all their interviews"we are only friends blah blah blah"and one month later they were surprised..when someone doesn’t want his/her private life on the media..

I’ve seen them. I post on a message board where there is a DE thread. I know what you guys think. They were holding hands at the POA premier. That’s all fine and good.

But if she says she’s not dating someone and NEVER HAS, you must take her word for it. It’s very rude to come on a public site and make statements like that.

And furthermore, I really doubt that her and Dan are more than friends. I won’t elaborate because it’s rude, but all clues point somewhere else.

.

rolls eyesok Eruditewitch,if you are happy thinking that they were only friends…

Nice interview.

Umh, I’m pretty hesitant to take part in this discussion, but I’m going to add my 2 cents anyway. I am a Harry/Hermione shipper, but the fact that it never happened in canon didn’t really hinder my enjoyment of the final books. Harry Potter books were always about so much more than the romances of the trio.

Emma has always been very vocal about her Ron/Hermione support and that’s her right. I know some Portkey posters who were pretty pissed off at her, but I never understood their anger. She’s the actress playing Hermione, not Hermione herself. At some point I begun to realize, that the lines between the books, the movies, and the actors were VERY blurry for certain people… and that scared me.

Sadly, it has become apparent that other H/Hr shippers still haven’t gotten over their bitterness, and I’m not able to discuss the books with them any longer. Not even about non-shippy topics. It’s pretty ironic that I can do this with R/Hr shippers without any problems.

What comes to the actors, I think it’s pretty insulting to doubt them. Dan/Emma pics? Oh please. There are equally cute Rupert/Emma pics as well, but she’s not dating either of the boys, and never has. Media loves to make up stuff, and there are always baseless romance rumors flying around. It’s enough to have a guy and a girl working together, whoever they might be; and there will be rumors. That’s all it takes.

That’s what most of us canon shippers seek, HermioneG: A rational view on shipping. It’s nice to see shippers like you still out there.

There’s a difference between preferring a ship and insisting things that just aren’t true. Belittling the characters because you don’t like the romantic choices, insulting the author (she even got hate mail!), and rejecting even truthful statements from those involved with the movies and books is not rational.

And it deserves our scrutiny.

Hermione G go to google and search"Prisioner of Azkaban premiere"you will have a surprise or you can see the behind the scenes in GOF,if you find pictures and images of Rupert and Emma like these,tell me.

Personally, it makes me really uncomfortable when people start confusing actors with the characters they play. Saying that H/Hr should happen because Dan/Emma have great chemistry is just weird. Dan isn’t Harry, and Emma isn’t Hermione. Rupert isn’t Ron, for that matter, either. What the actors’ personal opinions are and what they have to do to perform their roles are two separate things. In this case, it just so happens that Emma is an R/Hr shipper, but she probably was already even before she started playing Hermione. Remember, GoF was already out by the time the first movie was being filmed, so they all kind of knew which direction the romances were going. The fact that she actually likes R/Hr probably will make it easier for her to play her part, but she’d play her part even if she wasn’t an R/Hr shipper. It’s called being professional.

I also think that it’s insulting to both Dan and Emma to say that their “romantic” chemistry comes through on film even though their characters aren’t supposed to be anything more than friends. You are basically saying that Dan and Emma are bad actors who can’t properly play their characters. I think Dan’s a great actor, and Emma’s getting better, and therefore I have a lot of respect for their abilities. I’ve never seen anything except the great friendship chemistry D/E have, the same chemistry that Rupert and Dan have. And I’m sorry, but talking about a picture of Dan and Emma holding hands taken in 2005 when PoA came out has absolutely no relevance to today, and certainly has nothing to do with Harry, Hermione, or Ron. Again, the actors aren’t their characters, so Emma and Dan holding hands back in 2005 says nothing at all about Harry and Hermione’s relationship. FWIW I don’t think Emma has dated either one of the boys, nor is it likely she will. I do think it’s nice that they all stay in touch when they’re not filming, though, it shows that they really are great friends. Who says they have to couple up? Why can’t they just be friends?
