ahhhhhhh i really really love this???? and do u
know why? not just because it’s my babies. not just because the coloring of ron’s
hair is on fucking point. not just because of harry’s lil hand in his pocket or his sad serious expression. not just because of hermione’s adorable purple
cardigan. IT’S BECAUSE HARRY AND RON ARE HOLDING HANDS. i mean not even in a ‘they’re
a thing’ way. although lbr i’m all about some harry/ron on the side. but i
always ALWAYS see hermione put in the middle. bc boys must not touch no. harry
and ron cannot be that close they must separate. which I KNOW – british and all
that. there’s that thing about physical affection, and harry’s doubly unsure
about physical affection bc abuse. but it’s just really nice to see them
arranged differently. it’s so rare (for me) to see ron in the middle, or even harry for
that matter, when they’re being this close at least. and it’s not that hermione
CAN’T be in the middle. i mean they’re her boys and that’s beautiful and she’s
just as important to the group as they are. but it seems like the films went a
long way in distorting fandom’s view of the trio, and when hermione is constantly
providing a barrier between the boys in fan art i feel like it’s symptomatic
of how thoroughly all three of their characters were destroyed in the movies.
everyone forgets that ron and harry are CLOSE. they’re best friends, they’re
brothers, THEY’RE FAMILY. they cheer each other up and protect each other and
love each other. THEY’RE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO ONE ANOTHER FOR GOD’S
SAKE. THEY CANNOT FUNCTION WHEN THEY ARE APART WE HAVE SEEN THIS. i just. ugh.
harry and ron being #1 bros. ron protecting and defending harry and hermione. hermione
doing whatever it takes to stand beside harry and ron. harry letting these
people, his best friends, help him in ways he never let anyone else help
before. THE TRIO BEING THE COHESIVE FAMILY UNIT THEY WERE MEANT TO BE.
oh my god THANK YOU! this was exactly what i was going for- it was deliberate that ron was in the middle. for all the attributes of harry and hermione, ron doesn’t get enough credit for being the glue that really holds the group together. i mean, when he leaves in the seventh book, harry and hermione are super depressed and you realize how much of a disadvantage it is not to have ron with them. not to take anything away from the other two- i love them all equally- but ron, for me, is really the heart of the trio. he’s what makes their dynamic work. (and you’re right, the depth of ron and harry’s relationship is totally glossed over in the films)
