It turns out Ron and Hermione's relationship may have been really tested in the movie version of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which sounds grim, if we are being honest.
Well, that is at least according to Viktor Krum actor Stanislav Ianevski, who revealed that Hallows director David Yates suggested at one point there be a love triangle between Krum and the two lovebirds.
A little summary in case you are not up to scratch: Hermione was taken to the Yule Ball in the Goblet of Fire by the Bulgarian Quidditch player, much to Ron's jealousy. But their fleeting romance didn't last, as later events showed.
Ianevski told Entertainment Weekly of filming the penultimate movie, Deathly Hallows, Part 1: "[Yates] invented a new story that wasn't in the books, a love triangle between Viktor Krum, Hermione, and Ron.
"But that was cut out of the film because it obviously didn't fit with all the horrible things that happen in the last book."
However, he said of a cut scene: "We did a new dance scene, I sort of stole [Hermione] from Ron.
"She remembered our old times, Viktor was acting like a gentleman again, happy to see her, she was happy to see him. Ron was sitting on the side, was jealous, and then Viktor took her to the dance floor."
So how far would it have gone? Ianevski explained: "I don't know how far they could go.
"If the story from the seventh [film] that David Yates invented extended itself, then maybe they would've gotten into a fight with Ron, and Viktor would obviously win and then live happily on forever with Hermione."
We are not sure how to feel about the idea of Hermione becoming Mrs Krum – can you imagine the fan outrage?!
Still, Ianevski speculated how close the characters got during their brief romance, adding: "I think it's their little secret, God knows. Well, they did enjoy it.
"It was obviously difficult for them to understand each other… He wouldn't really understand much. He would just sit and watch her, sort of observe and protect.
"Maybe he was. Being the world's best Quidditch Seeker, obviously he has a big ego, so he would defend loved ones."
