[HPforGrownups] JKR to Emma Watson: H should've married H

[Sandra Lynn]

No: HPFGUIDX 192585

I don't know about Hermione and Harry, but honestly I think Ron and
Hermione are a lousy match. They are way too different. If I were the
author (which I'm obviously not), I would have had Ron and Hermione try and
fail at their relationship instead of Lavender and Ron. Anyway, I would
have had Ron end up with Lavender after the war. Her experiences in the
battle would have changed her so that she wasn't so shallow and she would
have had much more in common with Ron than Hermione.

I would be interested to see the whole article and JKRs reasoning about it
all though. Mostly, I wonder why she wanted Ron and Hermione together.
Although as people have said, Harry seemed to get everything, both good and
bad, so it might have been too much of a strain on the friendship if Harry
also ended up dating Hermione.
