JKR Cut Ron & Hermione Like a Movie Edit ...UNbelievable! ?

Major Plot-Transition Flaw Not Believable @ End ...pages 661 Prince's
Tale & 731 Flaw in the Plan... (U.S. Edition)

At the climax ending for the entire HP series when Voldemort gives the
one-hour deadline (pg.660) to turn over Harry or everyone will die
ultimatum, I think the storyline really had to be flawless.

Did JKR make a major error in this ultimate ending of the HP series?

I just could not believe or ever buy into the idea that Ron and,
especially, Hermione could ever abandon Harry at the story's total
crisis point while desperately rushing to view Snape's memories in
Dumbledore's pensieve.  How could Hermione or Ron possibly strip
themselves away from Harry at this ultimate crisis point?

All three heroes (already) just witnessed multiple violent deaths and
bizarre injuries with the horrific psychological impact of the "blood
bath" impacting all their Hogwart's friends, family, and rivals...
BUT, if Harry didn't succeed "now", then everyone was going to die...
there already was the break-up & reunion with Ron... forever committed
Hermione would never have peeled off to comfort Ginny, nor should have
Ron when -everything- was riding their razor's edge for their shared
success to save everyone from certain death.  Ron and Hermione were
Harry's remaining "family" that would fight to "the end" and stay at
his side without "questioning" the dead.

At the end of the entire HP series I faithfully wanted the three
heroes to fight the good fight together no matter what, for they had
finally achieved that deep and ultimate forever bond between them.
Ron and Hermione required extremely credible reasons to not be at
Harry's side; all three definitely knew to mourn the dead by honoring
the immediate living crisis.

My criticism is that JKR should have placed some believable storyline
where Ron & Hermione were forced to allow Harry to go on alone without
any other choice or option they could have taken.  Even a physical
barrier or blocking mechanism would have sufficed, though a fully
reasoned approach would have enhanced the story wonderfully for many
interpretive standpoints of why Harry had to go on alone without them.
 (Ron and Hermione could still have remained behind with good reason
to mourn the dead and comfort the living.)  The hero's journey would
still have been fulfilled for Harry's perfection without taking away
from their shared hero's journey.  Why "movie edit" the fantastic bond
& the hero & heroine everyone loves and found in Ron and Hermione's
hero's journey too ...to the very end!  A missed opportunity to do
justice to, and immortalize, all three heroes ...it had to be 3!

It had to be believable why Ron & Hermione were no longer at Harry's
side.  Does JKR separate them like a movie edit pg.661 & reunite them
on pg.746 without "good reason" or concluding fulfillment of the hero
& heroine in Ron & Hermione?

Wasn't there a far better storyline possible for JKR to allow Ron and
Hermione their "room of requirement", an exit of perfection too?  All
three each a hero exiting correctly in their final chapter of
character development.  Why miss the "transfiguration" of the three as
one too?  Harry would still have gone on just as he did, but I believe
it would have made an ending vastly more fulfilling and satisfying for
the readership and achieve the necessary fulfillment and "story's
perfection" for Ron and Hermione too.

What do you think?  Was there a missed opportunity to make the ending
more believable?


Regards to all.
