In case you forgot, let us remind you: the Harry Potter gang is reuniting one last time at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando to celebrate the DVD/Blu-ray release of The Deathly Hallows, Part 2, and E! Online will livestream the star-packed red carpet Saturday at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET.

Tomorrow is only a day away, but we can't wait any longer!

That's exactly how we all felt when we first witnessed the love blossoming between Ron and Hermione way back when. While it may not have been love at first sight, there was instant chemistry, and we have watched their friendship evolve throughout the years.

Therefore, our final favorite moment ever from the movies has to be a most magical kiss that cast a spell on our hearts...aw. But seriously, a moment as powerful as this doesn't just come from nowhere. Their relationship has had many ups and downs, as they continuously argued in their younger years. By their third year at Hogwarts, you could practically cut the tension with a sword. Ron was jealous of being in Harry's shadow, and feeling threatened that Hermione would be taken away by Harry. Eventually they became close again, and then this happened...

 

During the Battle of Hogwarts, Ron and Hermione head off to the Chamber of Secrets to retrieve a basilisk fang to destroy the Horcrux cup. After its destruction, thanks to Hermione, a huge tsunami comes toward the pair. The rush of water passes, leaving them soaked and jolted from the excitement, and they finally share a kiss!

Then they lighten the mood by each letting out the most adorable laugh afterward.

Of all the key moments in the franchise, this kiss is singularly important to fans because of the history these two characters share and the hope for their (and the world's) Voldemort-free future.

What did you think of the kiss? Sound off in the comments, and don't forget to join in during the livestreaming tomorrow!
