Ten Things That Mean a Friendship is Real

by Amy Hogan · June 21, 2014

The trio of Harry, Ron, and Hermione is arguably some of the most famous in today’s society. This is a list of things that mean a friendship is real, inspired by our favorite fictional friends and their relationships.

 

1. Being Able to Admit That You Were Wrong After an Argument

2. Sharing Humiliating Moments

3. Learning from Each Other

4. Not Being Able to NOT Talk to Each Other When You Are Supposed to Be Quiet

 

Harry, Ron, and Hermione sit in the Great Hall, books open on the table in front of them. They are leaned in, whispering to each other

 

5. Being an “Insufferable Know-It-All,” but Your Friends Still like You

6. Looking like Fools for a Laugh

 

Ron, Harry, and Seamus relax in the gryffindor boys dorm, llaughing and eating candy. Dean and Neville are visible in the edge of the image.

 

7. Being a Shoulder to Cry On

8. Breaking Rules Together

 

Harry and Ron look on, shocked, as Hermione grimly points her wand at someone off-screen

 

9. Being There for Support Through Loss and Hard Times

10. Sharing Laughter
