It's in the Entertainment Weekly interview from 11 Aug 2000.  Here's
what it said exactly:

She starts by saying that she was prepared to hate Kloves, the man who
was going to butcher her baby.  "The first time I met him, he said, 'You
know who my favorite character is?' And I thought, 'You're gonna say
Ron.'  It's real easy to love Ron -- but so obvious.  But he said
'Hermione.'  I just kind of melted."

So -- she thought he would say Ron, but she melted when he in fact said
Hermione was his fave!  Like I said, I love him already!

This is in the JKR FAQ -- so it was easy for me to find.  I was just
lazy earlier.

Penny
