(Glad that they were happy in the epilogue, again, would have been fine if their love interests would have been different, or if they were single).
 

 Pippin:
 

 As an R/H'er from Book One, I will admit to feeling a flicker of betrayal on first reading the report now enshrined as our topic line for this thread, but that appears to be a product of Skeeterism, not JKR's fickle heart. 

 

 IMO, the happy marriages in the epilogue have an artistic purpose,  symbolizing the renewal of the social order whose disintegration was signified by the murder of Harry's parents and the disastrous addition of Harry to the household at Privet Drive.  That who ended up with who was a matter of JKR's personal taste rather than her artistic judgement isn't terribly important to me. I do think she was wise to avoid the war movie cliche of having the two best buds fall for the same girl, even if  it was a bit of a stretch  to stop it from happening.
 

 Of course Emma Watson, bless her, is more of a knockout  than Hermione ever was, even all glammed up for the ball. If we visualize Hermione as Emma Watson's character, Harry would have to have been stone dead not to be attracted to her.
