You can read the whole interview here http://www.jkrowling.com/uploads/documents/en_GB-press-wonderland-interview-1391774615.pdf http://www.jkrowling.com/uploads/documents/en_GB-press-wonderland-interview-1391774615.pdf

 

 (I had  to fool around with the zoom on my browser to make it legible). It turns out that reports of the death of R/H are greatly exaggerated. Rowling never said that Hermione should've married Harry instead, or that Ron and Hermione's relationship was doomed. 
 

 She's definitely not trying to rewrite the book, just acknowledging that her perspective on some things has changed. 
 

 Rowling had never been happily married when she conceived the books and started writing them, so it's not surprising that her earlier take on marriage was spun more out of desire than knowledge. 
 

 So read the interview everyone, and tell us what you think now.
