J.K Rowling regrets pairing Ron with Hermione
J.K Rowling, writer of the Harry Potter series, has had a lot of success with her books, and the movies that came from them; however, in a recent interview she explains that her original plan to pair Ron with Hermione as “a form of Wish fulfillment.” Instead of pairing her up with Harry.
She had this to say. “I wrote the Hermione/Ron relationship as a form of wish fulfillment. That’s how it was conceived, really. For reasons that have very little to do with literature and far more to do with me clinging to the plot as I first imagined it, Hermione ended up with Ron.”
“I know, I’m sorry, I can hear the rage and fury it might cause some fans, but if I’m absolutely honest, distance has given me perspective on that. It was a choice I made for very personal reasons, not for reasons of credibility. Am I breaking people’s hearts by saying this? I hope not.”
When it comes to romance it’s hard to make everyone happy because fans are divided as to who Hermione should be with in the end, but with the series already concluded for several years it’s hardly worth putting much thought into. The story is over, and the characters are nothing more than fond memories to most fans. How about we keep it as that.
