A bit annoyed now (Harry Potter)
This is a rant I just needed to get on with.
I have no problem with H/Hr shippers and am quite okay with them gushing over the occassional promotional photo of the two together. But good lord, is the Promotional wagon of the WB promoting a film called Harry and Hermione’s Goblet of Fire. Or worse, Hermione Granger and the Goblet of Fire (We already had to live through the promotional wagon that was Hermione Granger and the Prisoner of Azkaban).
I HAPPILY ship R/Hr in canon and (oddly enough) think Dan and Emma look unbelievably adorable together and admit the chemistry burns a hole in the screen, but that’s not what the film is about. Where are pics of Ron and Hermione together? And what about a decent TRIO shot, there’s been like one or two and the Ron/Harry fight doesn’t last past the first task so I don’t believe there aren’t any. I’ve seen about 25 variations of the same shot of Hermione and Viktor and the ball, I’d like to see something intresting with Viktor besides that. Please don’t tell me that’s the only shot of Vr/H in the WB’s promo material worth promoting. And I’d like to see the OTHER characters, not just Harry and Hermione, especially HERMIONE. Someone who’s a stranger to HP would think this was the Harry and Hermoine movie judging by promotional material like the movie calendars. There’s more ‘different’ shots of Hermione than there are any other GoF non-Harry character. And what about the best mates, in what little there’s been of them together, we’ve had Harry and Ron in dress robes and very little else with them together by comparrison to Hermione/Harry. Plenty of Harry is expected (hero and all) but Hermione is just a sidekick she should not get better treatment than the other sidekick (Ron) because of her gender and a favoritisim for how Dan and Emma look in a picture. It misrepresent the core of the movie. I *like* Emma Watson (and Rupert and Dan) but the WB’s promotional favoritisim to Emma Watson over Rupert Grint SUCKS!!!!
I know I’ve talked about being overspoiled for the movie and not wanting to be, but the promotional material is out there and the problem I have with it is that by comparrison everything seems off-balanced. Hermione is not equal to Harry in the story, she’s one of the two PRIMARY best freinds and still, in the end, just a supporting character.
Sorry, had to get that off my chest.
