Did Ron and Hermione have love at first sight and did Ginny really fall in love with Harry the moment he met her.
I say yes to both. Ron and Hermione fell in love the moment they saw each other. Hermione realized from the beginning or maybe 3rd year. Ron realized in 4th year when he saw Hermione in a "different light."
About Ginny, remember the poem she wrote Harry in second year? She was desperate to get him to notice her. I may be wrong...what was an overly excited fan may have turned into love.
If this is in the wrong place feel free to move it.

Interesting question! It pre-supposes that a person believes in love at first sight, but that's okay. I'm not sure if JKR does or not because I think that would be your answer. I had fun thinking about it, nevertheless. Here's my opinion: Ginny: Yes. She was in love with Harry at first sight. Harry: No. I don't think he ever thought of Ginny as more than a sister-type until around the 5th or 6th book. Correct me if I'm wrong. Ron and Hermione: I agree with your ideas about when they realized they were in love. Honestly, I don't think it was really love at first sight. I think they may have felt some kind of instinctual pull towards the other (the old "opposites attract") but I really wouldn't call it love it first sight. I could maybe see Hermione falling in love with Ron when she first saw him on the train--maybe. But I think it took Ron a little longer - until the second book - and then he realized it when you said.

i don't believe in love at first sight. lol sorry. To love someone, you need to spend time with them and get to know them. I def believe in lust at first sight lol But i think ginny liked harry the first time at the burrow when she saw him , then grew into a mature loving and respectful relationship during HBP. As for r/hr, i don't think they loved at first sight either, though i think they both liked each other from the start. Obviously, they both liked then loved each other BEFORE they realized it. IMO, Hermione realized she loved him during Gof, and ron not until his relationship with lavender was ending, because he realized he needed hermione. Remember in the hospital wing when harry came in and told him to stop pretending to be asleep when lav came to visit? Then ron asked if hermione was coming to see him. So, really i think lavender/ron relationship was a GOOD thing for r/hr, because it helped them find each other.

Good post, Pat. I agree about Lavender/Ron. I hope they have that dialogue that you mentioned in the movie. Yeah, I'm not sure if I believe in love at first sight. Maybe.

I believe they had a connection but I don't think that children know what love is in the adult capacity that can carry you through life with someone. So many people can end up with someone their opposite, who pushes their buttons and annoys them to no end- the same person who completes them, makes them think outside their box and pushes them to be more and better.

I think Ron and Hermione were love at first sight, definitely. If you watch Ron's expression the second Hermione walks into view at the door, he is like" oh my god, who is that gorgeous creature in front of me." But the moment she spoke, he might have felt a little (noticed i said a little) different. Hermione noticed Ron right away cause she was impressed that he was doing something she loved the most: a spell. Yeah they were hot for each other the first moment they layed eyes on each other i think. Course if i was Hermione, how could not think Ron was hot!!!!!!!!!! hello?

i know haha i would have sooo had a crush on ron. I think ron and hermione felt something, like the opposites attract thingy someone mentioned before, but i don't really believe in LOVE at first sight, like i believe you can like someone like that, but not really love them. but anyway, i think that before ron started going out with lavender, he knew he liked hermione, he fancied her, and i think he was aware of that, at least a little bit.. but i do believe that he realized he was in love with her, that it was so much more than just a crush, when the relationship with lav was almost ending... like someone said, he realized he needed hermione.

I know Ginny really liked Harry the moment she saw him but I don't think it was love at first sight for either of these couples.
