For many Potterheads, Ron and Hermione’s romance was a long time coming. The Harry Potter books and movies seemed to be hinting at the couple’s love story all along. And while some fans feel that Harry and Hermione were a better match, there was plenty of foreshadowing to support a Romione romance. However, Rupert Grint, who portrayed Ron Weasley in all eight movies, admits that he was taken aback by the coupling.

Rupert Grint didn’t expect Ron and Hemione to get together in ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2’
Many fans of Harry Potter will agree that they didn’t expect to see proof that Ron and Hermione married and had children together. In fact, the 19 years later component of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is perhaps the most polarizing part of the series. Still, most Potterheads expected some form of a relationship between the characters to eventually sprout. Grint, however, did not. While he acknowledges that he saw clues that the characters were interested in one another, he never expected it to amount to anything serious.
