| Main Welcome to As They Were Meant To Be. This is a fanlisting for people who love Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger as they were created by Jo Rowling – in other words, how they are in the books, without the movie contamination.HARRY POTTER: Harry is the main character of the series. His parents were murdered when he was only a baby, as the wizard who killed them tried to get at Harry himself. He grew up in a cupboard under the stairs in the home of his horrible relatives the Dursleys, before receiving a letter to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry has untidy, jet black hair, bright green eyes behind round glasses, a thin face and knobbly knees. While he has a temper which can sometimes get the better of him and cause him to act rashly, Harry is brave, determined, talented and has a great need to see justice done. RON WEASLEY: Ron is Harry’s best friend, and the first one he ever had his own age. The sixth of seven children, all of whom have red-hair and freckles, Ron grew up in the family home, named The Burrow. While they are a rather poor family, all of Ron’s older brothers are smart and successful, a fact which makes him feel he has a lot to live up to. Ron is tall and lanky, with a long nose and big hands and feet. He has a sarcastic sense of humour, and while he can be a bit insensitive at times he is fiercely loyal to his friends and family, and a champion Wizard Chess player. HERMIONE GRANGER: Hermione, Harry’s other best friend, comes from an all-Muggle family. Her parents are both dentists and are rather bewildered about their daughters’ talents. Hermione has lots of bushy brown hair, a bossy sort of voice and used to have rather large front teeth. Bookish and bossy, Hermione is the smartest witch in her year and very militant about causes she believes in. At first her very different personality to the boys prevented them from being friends, until an incident with a mountain troll in their first year. Personally, I feel that while our favourite trio of young wizards started off almost perfectly in the film version of The Philosopher’s Stone, the characterisation of Ron and Hermione started to stray off course as we went through the films. Ron is being downplayed and portrayed as wimpy, with most of the jokes being at his expense, and his sarcasm has largely, though not completely, been ignored, while Hermione has been turned into every guy’s dream – pretty, sexy, stylish and strong (though still needing a guy to protect her sometimes, from werewolves and such) and have you noticed that they’ve been ignoring her bookishness lately? Combine this with all the Muggle clothes (and their choice of fashions) and they’re starting to drift away from the trio we all know and love. A shame really, because the actors could play them perfectly if directed to do so. So if you agree with me, or simply love our trio, then this is the fanlisting for you.
