What If Hermione Granger Had Married Harry Potter?

1 Hermione was Harry's mother figure.

"To me, Hermione was always more of a mother figure to Harry. She is always looking out for Harry: making schedules, she constantly helps him with homework, she is the one who informs Professor McGonagall about Harry's new Firebolt because she is afraid it has been tampered with, she advises Harry to turn in The Marauder's Map and to stop using the potion book signed by the Half Blood Prince. Clearly she cares about him, but was she ever a potential wife for Harry? I think not."

2 Their personalities would not mesh well.

"Hermione would have to deal with the limelight that was thrust upon Harry all the time. She would have to struggle to explain herself. She would have struggled to be calm, thoughtful, and logical when Harry might not have. She wanted to be unique by her own standards. Her relationship with Ron allowed her to do that. As the books came to an end, we noticed how Harry seemed to be distant from the two, however Ron and Hermione got closer. Hermione and Ron had a better chemistry than the one Hermione and Harry shared."

3 Ron and Hermione had a better connection.

"Ron and Hermione are perfect for each other, their personalities complement each other perfectly. Hermione is slightly uptight, where as Ron is very down to earth. Hermione is smart and driven, Ron is again very down to earth and laidback.

I don't care what all the Harry Hermione pushers say, she would not have been happy with him, and he wouldn't of been happy with her, they would of driven each other mad, sometimes opposites attract and that is the case with Ron and Hermione."

4 Hermione and Harry were too much like family.

"I really think, Hermione was best paired with Ron. Hermione and Harry were almost like brother and sister because they were not from the wizarding world. On the contrary, Ron was. Hermione and Harry always found solace in each other as brother and sister (they always felt they were sort of an outcast) Naturally, they both found Ron attractive, because of his huge family and all the stories about the wizarding world. Harry and Ron are famous for their bromance and Ron and Hermione are the best couple you can find."

5 They would be too serious together.

"I think both Harry and Hermione are kinda intense, and while Harry is funny, it's in a dry sort of way that might not be enough to lighten the mood. They understand each other fairly well, but I think Harry needs a more buoyant personality like Ginny's. Hermione is probably better off with Ron than Harry because Ron brings some humor and helps her stay grounded, so long as Ron grows up a bit compared to where he left off in the books."

Or maybe they could have had a happily ever after with each other . . .

"Hermione was not one to be daunted by Harry's fame. Her own ability and confidence were more than sufficient to let her have her own achievements regardless of Harry. More importantly, Harry didn't ever feel the need to compete for anyone's attention; he tried to avoid it. In Harry, Hermione would have found a deeply caring and supportive husband."
