The explanation is very simple - Harry has a very strong sexual desire for Ginny. He has no such feelings for Hermione. Sex is a fundamental aspect of adult relations. Sex is, in fact, the characteristic that defines the difference between a platonic relationship and a romantic one.
First and foremost, Harry loved Hermione as much as he loved Ron, but he never had romantic feelings for her. He saw her like a sibling. He also explicitly claims in the 7th book that Hermione is like his sister.
One of the central romances happens between Harry's best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. It took them until the seventh book to make their relationship official, but their mutual feelings were there throughout the series long before their first kiss.
Well, in case it skipped your mind, Harry and Hermione shared a kiss – not cause they were in love or dating each other but a manifestation of a Horcrux, in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1. While Daniel thought it would be soft and sensual, read on to know how Emma finally kissed him and why.
In the film, she only hugs Harry, and just gives a hesitant handshake to Ron (Note: This was the result of Emma Watson being hesitant to hug both Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint in public view, with her hugging Radcliffe during filming having to be frozen for a few seconds to get the desired effect due to Watson ...
So why did Harry choose Ginny over Hermione? Because Harry and Hermione were never a thing. And because Harry developed feelings for Ginny. He didn't “choose Ginny over Hermione,” because he was never interested in Hermione.
Harry liked Hermione very much, but she just wasn't the same as Ron. There was much less laughter and a lot more hanging around the library when Hermione was your best friend. Ron is funny, and he's soft where both Harry and Hermione have hard edges.
Harry Potter had a few love interests during his time at Hogwarts. Though he eventually settled down with Ginny Weasley, he also had a thing for Cho Chang in his earlier school years. Then, of course, there's his secret love for Draco Malfoy…
In the books there are plenty of reasons why Harry would like Ginny. She is smart, strong, funny, sassy, a good quidditch player, pretty... Even Fred and George mention that she is quite popular with boys. Harry and her spend a lot of time together in OotP where he gets to know her and becomes her friend.
As mentioned repeatedly, Harry chooses to break off his relationship with Ginny, out of fear that Voldemort would attack Harry by attacking Ginny. A more mature viewer would say that a better way of securing Ginny's safety is to keep her by Harry's side.
She wanted Harry to be safe. I don't think the hug between them was romantic or meant to be romantic. It was just a sweet gesture between two good friends.
The canon pairings were always the intention. Harry and Hermione never got together in the books or movies because they were never supposed to, they were written to never be anything more than friends/siblings, that's how Rowling saw them throughout writing the books.
In Harry Potter, JK Rowling confirmed that Draco was actually in love with Hermione but didn't know how to fully express his emotions. If things were different and he told Hermione about how he felt, do you think they could've had a chance? No.
She first gained fame for playing Cho Chang, the titular character's first love interest in the Harry Potter film series, and subsequently for her roles as Caitlyn Kiramman in the Netflix animated series Arcane and Ash in the Amazon Prime Video sci-fi series The Peripheral.
Hermione never gets offended by anyone calling her any bad name except her professors. Malfoy calls her a mudblood, makes fun of her large front teeth, pansy calls her a rabbit and everyone in her class calls her a know it all. She is always unbothered.
Ginny is introduced in the first book Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, as the youngest sibling and only daughter of Arthur and Molly Weasley. She becomes Harry's main love interest and eventually marries him at the end of the series. She is portrayed by Bonnie Wright in all eight Harry Potter films.
Harry doesn't get it on with anyone in Canon—technically you can claim that Harry did with Ginny, but only because we see the products of Harry and Ginny's intimacies in the epilogue. All the sex happened.
She not only lost her virginity to Dean: she compares him to Harry every single night, and she can't help asking for a discreet booster dose every now and then. That's the reason Harry cursed his mulato son with a name like Albus Severus. Weird. I thought this was common knowledge for anyone who followed JKR's tweets.
After Luna lost her virginity to Laura, this was dubbed as Luna's first serious relationship. Their relationship ended violently after Luna was surprised with a pregnancy scare. (Noted: Soon after this event and another including other characters, pregnancies among students was prohibited in DARP.)
Short answer: Because he was in love with Ginny Weasley. Long answer: As I've already said in a previous answer, there is no proof whatsoever for Harry considering Hermione as a possible romantic partner. For example: “Harry liked Hermione very much, but she just wasn't the same as Ron.
Her middle name, Luna, is a tribute to Luna Lovegood, a good friend of her mother, during their time at Hogwarts. This naming choice reflects the deep respect and affection Harry and Ginny have for these two individuals.
In the first couple of books, Ginny simply has a crush on Harry, and gets very nervous around him, while Harry does not return the feelings for her, but still likes her as a friend. However, in the Order of the Phoenix, Ginny becomes less nervous around Harry, and even starts to date other boys.
