I Ranked All The "Harry Potter" Kisses From Worst To Best, Because I Have Some Strong Opinions

I'm emotional just THINKING about Ron and Hermione.

10. Ron and Lavender

Warner Bros.

I just wanna know who the heck kisses like this?! Lavender looked like she was slobbering Ron's face off like Fangs the dog. Hard pass. Plus, my heart broke for Hermione here! Everything about it just made me want to barf.

9. Ginny and Dean

Warner Bros.

Okay, this was barely a kiss, TBH. I actually didn't mind the idea of Ginny and Dean as a couple, but their relationship was so clearly used as just another obstacle to complicate Ginny and Harry. Meh. Maybe if they had at least zoomed in on them? It just looked fake and half-hearted.

8. Ron and Mary Cattermole

Warner Bros.

This only sort of counts as a kiss because Ron was under Polyjuice Potion and Mary mistook him for her husband Reginald. I'll admit it was kind of funny, but it was mostly just super cringe to watch.

7. Harry and Hermione

Warner Bros.

This wasn't a REAL kiss — it was a Horcrux projection of Ron's worst fears, designed to torture him. Still though, we did technically get to see Harry and Hermione lock lips, which was exciting! It was okay, but them both being naked was just kind of weird, and the whole thing felt like it was more for shock factor than anything.

6. Harry and Ginny's first kiss

Warner Bros.

This snog was long overdue — but this was in no way their best kiss, and I was really sad that they completely changed this from the way it happened in the book! I don't think the movies did this pairing justice, especially this scene. Don't get me wrong, I was happy it finally happened, but it was definitely lacking the passion and spontaneity described in the books.

5. Harry and Cho

Warner Bros.

Harry finally got his first kiss in Order of the Phoenix! It was a sweet moment, but it was ultimately overshadowed by Cho, who was still grieving over Cedric's death, feeling torn and confused afterwards. I'm ranking this above Harry and Ginny's first kiss not because I like Harry and Cho as a couple overall, but because I think this particular kiss had more chemistry.

4. Fleur and Ron

Warner Bros.

She may not have kissed him on the LIPS, but I'm still counting it! Even if it wasn't a kiss-kiss, I'm still ranking it fairly high because it was so cute, and Ron's expression makes me laugh every time. You can tell he was just GOBSMACKED. Definitely not a romantic moment, though.

3. Harry and Ginny's kiss during the Battle of Hogwarts

Warner Bros.

I'll be honest, I can't make up my mind about this kiss. In theory, it should have been epic, but it ended up feeling sort of...awkward? I don't know, the concept was there, but something in the execution just felt off! I'd rank it above their first kiss because it was a bit more passionate, but it's still not their top one. I think the movies did Harry and Ginny's relationship dirty in general, TBH.

2. Harry and Ginny's kiss before Bill and Fleur’s wedding

Warner Bros.

This one was definitely more passionate than their first kiss, and their chemistry felt a lot more believable. You could definitely feel the high emotions here, and I wanted to see more! Oh, and George walking in and smirking at them snogging never fails to make me laugh. "Morning" to you too, George!

1. And finally, at the very top, Ron and Hermione

Warner Bros.

FINALLY! I can still clearly remember everyone in the audience at the midnight premiere clapping and cheering when these two kissed, and I screamed right along with them. It did stray a little from the book, but I still think it's the best onscreen kiss by far. #Romionieforever!
