Wild Harry Potter Theory That Changes Everything About Hermione and Ron’s Love Story

Summary:

• Love stories of the main Harry Potter characters have always been one of the biggest fans’ zones of interest and the reason for many speculations.
• There is a theory implying Hermione’s love for Ron was caused by a certain Unforgivable Curse, imposed by the latter.
• It resonates with the presumable J.K. Rowling’s disliking of Ron.

The Harry Potter movies’ creators thorough work and the collaboration with the book author, J.K. Rowling, has borne fruit in the franchise’s outstanding success, which makes users speculate on the featured events years later from the release of the last chapter.

One of the most intriguing topics was always the love lines of the main characters, Harry, Hermione and Ron. While Harry’s fate has become, surprisingly, Ron’s younger sister, his friends eventually formed a couple and got married in the epilogue.

Despite the obviosity of two of the trio brought together as each other’s love interest and the constant pairing of Ron and Hermione before the second Deathly Hallows, if we dive back in the franchise, their love story doesn’t seem enchanting and obvious at all.

It can be revealed with the movies’ detailed rewatch that Ron constantly insulted and mistreated his future wife, and it comes from the very beginning of the franchise, where they almost couldn’t stand each other, and develops towards the final movies.

An extremely popular fan theory claims that Ron used the Imperius Curse, one of three Unforgivable Curses, which places the victim completely under the caster’s control, on Hermione to force her into falling in love with him.

The author of this theory, Redditor EmperorDeathBunny, enlisted the whole bunch of reasons and proofs of how it can be done and how bad the relationship between the wizard couple was before that.

It is suggested that Ron, having learned about the controlling curse from his father, used it on Hermione in the timeline of The Order of the Phoenix movie, as her behavior drastically changes in the scene showing opening Christmas presents, in which the girl is smiling warmly at Ron, as if “something had happened between them” out of nowhere.

It also adds to another possible assumption concerning Rowling’s disliking of Ron, the growth of which can be traced from the first book (and the first movie as well), where he was presented as an awkward, but nevertheless, charming and witty kid, to the first half of the Deathly Hallows book, where he is portrayed like a jealous and moody neurotic.

Despite some obvious contradictions, arising with the given theory, it gives us an opportunity to revise the whole Ron-Hermione plot line, which can be explored from a completely different angle, assuming its complexity and the very mystery of love.
