Thanks for not bashing Ron while discussing your ship. I love the trio and one of the reasons I don't like H/Hr and R/Hr is that shippers of the first need to turn Ron into an OOC abusive monster to make their ship work and the second ones are usually into OBHWF, which is just... gah.
As for Oppugno and the "book". These are teenagers, they're not exactly romance savvy and they are ruled by hormones. We all do stupid stuff when we're kids, I didn't mind that so much. I think JKR made a big mistake by having romance be such a huge part of HBP.
I think the movies are more H/Hr than the books, I got tons of Harry/Hermione vibes for POA... but this was not the case in the books. I saw Ron/Hermione coming from GOF and I didn't even think Harry/Hermione was a possibility (then again I thought the same about Harry/Ginny and look how that turned out :P) I thought R/Hr were going to date or something, which would have been fine... then in the Epilogue without any character development for 19 years we find out that everyone married their high-school sweetheart? WAT.
The real world doesn't work that way. Yes, some HS relationships ARE successful but everyone in the Epilogue married their Hogwarts love and that is so unrealistic.
So I guess the lesson is... KIDS, IF YOU DON'T FIND TRU WUB BY AGE SEVENTEEN YOU ARE DOOMED!

Anyway, I'll just leave this here:
OT3 forever ^^
