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.
