Highly reccommended essays to read:
Because They're Friends: Demystifying Harry, Hermione, Viktor, and Ron by Red Monster - "Rita Skeeter's reporting turns these teenagers' interactions into a complicated "love pyramid" with Hermione at the top as a devious temptress and emotional mastermind, and Harry, Viktor and Ron as the base (though Ron is not included in Rita's stories, he does become a part of the entanglement) but in fact, Hermione's motivations and intentions are very straightforward. She does not use Viktor to provoke jealousy in Ron or to distract him from her developing love for Harry. On the contrary, she does not use Viktor at all."
The Laws of Attraction: How science defends R/Hr and H/G ships by E.M. Ellison - "It's scientific."
The Keeper of Her Heart: The Case for Hermione's Feelings for Ron by Red Monster - "The usual consensus is that Ron is the obvious one and Hermione is harder to read, but after going through all the evidence regarding her feelings for him, I actually think that her side of the matter has been laid out for us more plainly than Ron's."
D’you Really Think They’re Suited? - Why Hermione is Not the Right Girl for Harry by Angua - "Are Harry and Hermione suited to each other romantically? And if not, why not?"
Oh, or This Changes Everything by Karen H. - "Many readers (myself included) were disappointed to not see any real progress in the R/Hr dynamic in OotP, as there definitely was “something going on” in GOF (JKR words, not mine). After all, Harry got his first kiss (okay, it wasn’t that great of a kiss); But Ron and Hermione seem to be locked in a holding pattern of teenage angst. Or so I thought. There’s actually a lot of R/Hr going on OotP and by the end, things are beginning to look quite promising for the proverbially mismatched pair."
Symbolic Fight by lafeemechante - "This is an essay directed to those shippers of all ages who blatantly refuse to accept that Ron/Hermione is as canon as, say, James Potter and Lily Evans…James Potter and Lily Evans who did not make amends until their sixth year at Hogwarts."
In defense of Ron and Hermione (mostly Hermione) by queenofdenile - Touches on why no, Hermione was not OOC in HBP, major events from both POV, and why sometimes people, like Ron and Hermione, had to "grow down before they grew up."
In Defense of Hermione by heatherhobbit - "She deserves someone who will vomit slugs for her, fret and overcome his greatest fear when she is ill, stand up to the teachers when she has tears in her eyes, will notice her irregular class schedule, notice her new teeth, wonder about her love life, defend her from CAPSLOCK!Harry, and hold her, stroke her hair and cry with her."
The Seven Stages of Ron and Hermione's Relationship by heatherhobbit - Edited version to include events up to HBP: analyzes the moments that brings Ron and Hermione together. A must-read!
