Do you guys think they've had a crush at each other the first time they met on the train or it probably wasn't until spending more time together at Hogwarts?

It definitely wasn't love at first sight, and they were too young for that then anyway.
That's what I love about them, the fact they grew together and got to know each other through a strong friendship first. Their relationship was so organic. __________________

I definitely don't see it as love at first sight. I see RHr relationship to be a very realistic journey from childhood into adulthood with the two of them slowly falling for each other in a romantic way, because even when they were just frinds there was some kind of connection different from the one either of them had with Harry, there was this desire from both sides to impress each other, they were both wanting each other's approval and attention even when they wouldn't admit it or would try to hide it. At some points they didn't know how to deal with their emotions because of being so young but they matured through the years and managed to understand their feelings better and finally accepted them by the end and decided to give each other a real chance to be together because that was what they really wanted. So I think RHr was a very long journey of falling in love and realizing it but it was not love at first sight, it was something that kept progressing and buring with more passion each year, every day and every moment they spent together.

I love what everyone said here. I agree, definitely not love at first sight. But what a journey for both of them. It definitely took them time to realize their feelings for each other plus they never acted on it. While we've seen how their friendship developed, we also saw their feelings evolve and that's what's frustrating about it. They always bicker, it's like their protective wall against each other because they are both afraid of what they're feeling which I find really sweet. This is what I love about JKR's story for these two - it's well thought of and she really meant for it to happen with subtle hints here & there in all the books.

Thanks for the fan arts!
Count me in on it not being love at first sight. Even though the feelings were there beforehand I think in GoF was really when they came to the surface (in terms of realising it was more than friendship). Since in the books, their friendship was evident, but it came through in the Yule Ball scenes (and also Mrs. Weasley's disapproval of Rita's rumours). __________________

Not love at first sight. Weren't they quite young for that?
The one thing I love about their relationship is how it grew and developed with everyone second of their life. |

And I like that nobody pushed them to be together. It just happened at the right place and at the right time. Yes, Harry knew about their feelings but he let them realize it.

I'm glad they waited until Voldemort was defeated before they officially got together. Not that they were consciously planning it that way, but that's what makes the kiss and all of that even sweeter. It happened when it was supposed to, they got together when the timing was right, when they didn't have to fear of losing the other one in the war anymore.

JKR defimitely gave us a setting for the kiss when we least expect it. So I was pleasantly surprised it happened during the war AND in-front of Harry.

In the books, I loved Harry's reaction when they kissed. "OI! There's a war going on here!"

Oh I so agree it wasn't love at first sight. I believe they were genuinely annoyed by each other for the early part of PS/SS. Their friendship wasn't even "friends at first sight" so it only makes sense that it would be even longer for an actual romance to develop.
I like that their kiss happened just because it felt right. It didn't matter a war was going on or that Harry was right there, all that mattered was them. Quote:
