The actual quality of these relationships is up for debate, but none of their hook-ups are really "last minute". Also if anything Ginny gets less characterization in the movies.


** Hermione and Ron. After seven books of WillTheyOrWontThey, they make out in the hall while Voldemort and the Death Eaters are attacking the school and people are dying. The movies try to avert this by building them up as a couple earlier by giving more ShipTease. Just look at the film version of ''[[Film/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban Prisoner of Azkaban]]''.
** A book specific example would be Harry and Ginny in ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince Half-Blood Prince]]''. Not only do they become a couple close to the end after Harry spends a good portion of the book crushing on her, but they ''still manage to break up before the end of the book!'' To make matters worse, they spend even less screen time together in the last book. [[spoiler: By the epilogue, they're HappilyMarried]], leaving even those who took no sides in the shipping scratching their heads. Again, the film tries to avert this. Not only does Ginny get a fair more screen time and more scenes with Harry in the ''Half-Blood Prince'' adaptation, but they don't break up at the end, either. Plus their interactions in ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows Deathly Hallows]], Part 1'' count too. (Thank you Creator/SteveKloves!) However, like Hermione and Ron, it still suffers on account of [[CompressedAdaptation how much is left out]].
** [[spoiler:Lupin and Tonks' relationship at the end of HBP]] also qualifies. The actual romance between the two was hardly ever seen from Harry's perspective. Those who didn't notice the hints were naturally shocked, and even after the two are explicitly stated to have married between the penultimate and the last book, the readers still don't see much evidence of romance between the two. [[spoiler: Heck, Lupin even ditches her for a while when he finds out he got her pregnant because he was afraid he passed [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent his condition]] onto [[WhatIfTheBabyIsLikeMe their child]]. He mans up after a WhatTheHellHero moment from Harry though.]]

* ''VideoGame/TraumaCenter'': The ending of the second game heavily implies that Derek and Angie finally get together, short of a direct love confession.

* ''Webcomic/{{Avalon}}'' had two: [[spoiler:Joe & Helène, and Ceilidh and Phoebe. This second one became a rather large controversy for many fans, as there was little to no hint of it in the strip before the ScheduleSlip until the text summary that the author ended the comic with. The second one felt rather out of left field (perhaps to the point of Phillips' falling prey to PairTheSpares), while the first one was pretty obvious for quite some time.]]
