-Ron and Hermione Shippers
In POA there is a scene where Ron/Hermione hug. Afonso wants to cut this scene out! if you want to see this beloved scene in the film sign the petition!
"In one of the largest parts of the studio, what was once the Chamber of Secrets set, is Hagrid's Hut. The day we visited the crew was filming a third-act scene, in which Ron and Hermione make up from a fight at Hagrid's insistence, and the downhill events of Prisoner of Azkaban's final portion begin to pick up speed. The gigantic round hut is raised, and surrounded by a small crop of people — mostly crew and chaperones. Behind it is a small gaggle of high-school-aged kids who warrant a double-take — they’re the principals' stand-ins, hanging out just in case.
Sticking out of the hut is a small cage, in which there are two things of interest: a group of bats fluttering innocently between the cage and the hut, and a small Mexican man hunched over a small television screen. The scene is simple and short: Hagrid urges Ron and Hermione to hug, Scabbers is found, a group of Ministry officials are seen heading toward the hut, and the Trio is shooed out of the premises by a concerned Hagrid. After a morning rehearsing the takes finally start rolling, and after a few Alfonso Cuaron makes an executive decision.
The director leans on the fenced side of his little coop and talks calmly to an assistant director. "We're going to try it without the hug," he says. "We might not have enough of Ron and Hermione's fight to make it work."
So when he utters the word on set, there's not a single reaction other than a quiet shifting of papers, a tweak in lines, and a re-do of the scene without the aforementioned hug.
