Others think that Hermione and Harry are good friends and therefore better off in a platonic, not romantic, relationship, particularly because Hermione seems to bother Harry in many parts of the book series.
He simply does not find Hermione to be that funny. This fact is explicitly stated during his falling out with Ron in fourth year. When Hermione accuses him of missing Ron, Harry denies it, but admits to himself that while he "... liked Hermione very much, she just wasn't the same as Ron.
They are best friends, but instead of taking the boyfriend/girlfriend route they took the brother/sister route. Why? Because they don't fit each other's types. Hermione found her brave and friendly guy when she met Ron Weasley.
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 Potter Deleted Scenes That Shouldn't Have Been Cut
Did Harry actually kiss Hermione?
The moment Hermione and Harry share a kiss only happens in Ron Weasley's vision. Ron's anxiety over, and jealousy of, Harry and Hermione's closeness manifests thanks to one of Voldemort's Horcruxes (namely Rowena Ravenclaw's locket).

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 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 ...
In some parts of the saga, Draco even seems obsessed with Hermione. Even though he considers Muggle-borns to be inferior, he hasn't ever picked on one other than Hermione.
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.
Rowling confirmed in multiple Harry Potter interviews that she also considered pairing the two but eventually decided against it. She noted that while both characters are somewhat similar in many general traits, they are opposites in other regards.
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.
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.

J.K. Rowling said that Draco had a crush on Hermione Granger, but he doesn't show that, beacuse Hermione was a Gryffindor, Harry's friend, and also a muggle-born. After the Battle for Hogwarts, Draco fell in love with Astoria Greengrass, and they had son Scorpius.
From Daniel Radcliffe and his longtime beau Erin Darke to Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse, here are some Harry Potter stars and their better halves.
Luna married fellow naturalist Rolf Scamander, grandson of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them author Newt Scamander, considerably later in life than Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny, who all married and started families in their early-to-mid twenties.
J.K. Rowling says Draco doesn't have a patronus because he never learned the spell but I think it's because he doesn't have any powerful happy memories to use.
In the epilogue, set nineteen years after the events of Deathly Hallows, Harry and Ginny are confirmed to be married, and have three children: James, Albus and Lily.
