Dear "Grownups-Who-Love-HARRYPOTTER" ,
I read in "MADAM'S SCOOP'S TO J.K. ROWLING " the
following interview referrance :
Quote from Time Magazine, 2000 in which JK says: "Mostly
they [kids] are really worried about Ron. As if I'm going to kill Harry's best friend. What I find interesting is only once has
anyone said to me, "Don't kill Hermione," and that was after a reading when I said no one's ever worried about her...
They see her as someone who is not vulnerable, but I see her as
someone who does have quite a lot of vulnerability in her
personality"
I find that I find it quite surprising that how people can
NOT care about the second best friend of Harry. Surely, I can't imagine the book without Hermione. I am truly inspired by Hermione. She has always tried to help out Harry whenever she could. She is
the true essence of best friend. Sure she sometimes is a bit of a
show-off. But she has come a long way from the "snotty thing". Even
in the "SS" she is starting evolving :"Books! And cleverness!
There are more important things -- friendship and bravery."
As for vulnerability. Now this is quite obvious to me
because I have a bit of Hermione in me. I know that a person
who is an overachiever is actually quite insecure and so very much
vulnerable. Also, she is a true softy - remember Crookshanks?
"Poor Crookshanks, that witch said he'd been in there for ages; no
one wanted him." Then how she helped Hagrid to prepare the case
for Buckbeak. Now that I think of it she could make a fine animal
activist!
As for what makes Ron vulnerable is that he is a bit
underconfident and the "weak one" in the trio. He is a bit sorry
for himself for being "poor". Then not only has Ron got elder brother's which are much "accomplished" to live up to. (His family expectations are high - remember at the sorting ceremony - Ron was particularly nervous,indeed desperate to get into Griffyndor).
Then his friends are the famous Harry Potter & the most genius outstanding student- Hermione -obviously he'll look weak - or vulnerable standing against these two - anyone would !
As for Hermione,I simply love her. J.K. Rowling can be
satisfied that there is one person who cannot have her die/be
killed.
