The Harry Potter fandom is a passionate one for sure, and why not?
It was the fourth film in the Harry Potter franchise where romance really came to the fore, with the main trio of Harry, Ron, and Hermione reaching age 14 and suddenly discovering an interest in the opposite sex.
For Hermione, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was the film where she became the object of Viktor Krum’s affections; the strong, brooding Bulgarian student from Durmstrang school who entered the Triwizard Tournament.
Surely, if Hermione was going to end up with anyone other than Ron, it would have been Harry.
