SHIPPING WARS END: EMMA WATSON KILLS THE FANTASY
The ultimate celebrity confession just shattered the hopes and dreams of millions of Harry Potter fans worldwide! Emma Watson, the woman who played Hermione Granger for a decade, admitted in a candid, high-pressure interview that if she were choosing a partner, she would select “none of the above”—effectively giving both Harry Potter and Ron Weasley the biggest, most brutal snub in franchise history!
The bombshell confession came during a playful, yet candid, prank session with Smosh following her appearance in the movie Noah. When pressed by a superfan about which character Emma Watson herself would have chosen, her immediate, unfiltered answer sent shockwaves through the fandom:
“Umm… none of the above.”
This is a complete and total rejection of the Golden Trio’s romantic potential. The actress refused to play along, confirming that in her real life, neither the prophesied hero nor the loyal, goofy sidekick holds any romantic appeal. Her honesty is poised to send Potterheads into a major frenzy!
ROWLING STARTED THE FIRE: THE MISTAKE CONFESSION
Watson’s cold, hard truth only fans the flames of a scandal originally ignited by J.K. Rowling herself. Prior to the Smosh interview, Watson had a curious conversation with the author during her tenure as guest editor of Wonderland magazine. The topic? The infamous, polarizing Ron/Hermione romance.
Watson directly asked Rowling if Hermione should have ended up with Daniel Radcliffe’s Harry Potter instead of Rupert Grint’s Ron Weasley. Rowling’s surprising, shocking answer was a massive plot betrayal! The author agreed that Harry and Hermione were a better match and confessed she might have made a “mistake.”
Rowling confessed: “I wrote the Hermione/Ron relationship as a form of wish fulfillment… Hermione ended up with Ron. I know, I’m sorry.” Rowling admitted she was clinging to her “preconceived notion” rather than making a sound literary choice.
So, the two biggest authorities on the franchise—the creator and the actress—have both publicly stated that the canonical romance was wrong, leaving fans scrambling to re-evaluate every single moment of the eight films!
First Rowling says it was a mistake, now Emma says she wouldn’t date either of them? This is the ultimate betrayal. My whole childhood fantasy was based on lies! Team Neville Longbottom, always!
THE DIPLOMATIC RETREAT: A SAFE CHOICE
While Watson initially dropped the “none of the above” bombshell, the public pressure was so immediate and intense that she was instantly begged to choose a team—Team Harry or Team Ron. Clearly realizing she had caused an international incident, the actress immediately retreated into diplomacy.
She responded with a safer choice, inclining toward Team Ron. This quick pivot was likely a calculated move to avoid further offense, prioritizing fan appeasement over pure honesty. However, the initial, unscripted “none of the above” will forever remain the most truthful answer and the deepest cut to the Ron-Hermione pairing.
Her definitive refusal to choose either of the male leads solidifies the sense that the most intellectual and dynamic character in the series was simply too good for the choices presented in the novels. Watson’s candid answer will make waves that will endure far longer than the playful prank session intended.
CLIFFHANGER: WHO WAS THE MYSTERY CRUSH?
Emma Watson’s shocking confession confirms the worst fears of the fandom: neither Harry Potter nor Ron Weasley were her type! Her honest response, fueled by J.K. Rowling’s prior admission of a plot mistake, has plunged the Harry Potter romantic universe into absolute chaos.
But if she wouldn’t choose the hero or the sidekick, who was her real-life secret crush on set? We already know she fell hard for Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy). Was her “none of the above” a deliberate lie to protect her former flame? Or did her true affections lie with a less obvious character—a supporting actor, a crew member, or perhaps even a forbidden professor? We predict the real-life romance drama is the biggest secret the Harry Potter stars are still hiding!
