No what they went with was much better, I think all the other choices were a better once than Hermione, I didn't read the last few books though, and liberal as she is I wonder if the age gap is a much bigger problem to her now than when she wrote it and that's why she changed her mind
Oh right yeah, I doubt it's the age gap then, still with liberals you never know what new lunacy they will subject themselves too so i'm not willing to totally discard the possibility
There's worse age gap shit anyway that nobody cares about. Fleur and the Weasely she ends up with are like 5 years apart (I forgot how many), that Quidditch pro who dates Hermione is like 3-4 years older than her when they start dating and she's only 13/14 and he also eyes Ginny, who is even younger than Hermione, in book 7. I don't think JKR cares especially since age gap is a pretty common fetish and she's always be a libshitter, that's why Hermione is her self-insert.
Harry and Hermione never came off as a couple in the books. It always felt like a brother/sister relationship. People only want them to be a couple because Ron/Hermione was a terrible pairing and the dance scene in DH part 1. That was just shipper fanservice, it was never in the books
In the books Ron and hermione are obvious from the beginning, and Ron has the wizard culture knowledge and social graces to balance well with hermione being kind of a sheltered weirdo.
In the movies Hermione has no weaknesses and Ron is medically retarded, so yeah their romance makes no sense.
It's a gamble casting children because you really can't tell how attractive they'll be as they grow. Season 1 Arya looked like it was possible she'd be pretty one day.
Ron and Hermione getting together kind of made sense. They would hang out during the summer while Harry was stuck in his muggle home. Harry and Hermione were more of like brother and sister.
No, her book version is fine. Their chemistry was never really romantic, I'd argue even Ron probably didn't need to be paired with Herm but she had to pair them up somehow and it was the easiest way out.
The film screwed up the casting though, Emma Watson was far too pretty for Hermione. But I suppose there wasn't anyway to know when they casted her as a child.
Adding onto this. You don't become one of the highest-paid authors in the history of the world by being a shit writer. Saying she's a bad writer is the literal essence of envy.
She was good at her core appeal but pretty obviously got out of her depth as things progressed. She was clearly phoning it in for the last couple of books too.
I hate when people misquote the article because she didn't say that, and there is 0 romance between Hermione and Harry in the books. She is also Ginny's biggest supporter and her advice is literally the reason Harry went from "my buddy's sister is annoying" to "I wanna plough that from dusk til dawn" in the spawn of like 2 months.
That being said, the movies are created in such a way that I can see why people shipped them, especially in the last two movies. But the bulk of the "romance" in 4/7 of the books is Ron and Hermione being too retarded to fuck each other, and making each other jealous every 10 seconds instead.
no, because the main character of harry potter isn't harry potter. it is of course Hermione, Rowling's obvious stand-in. But she can't be the main character, because JK's identity as a female means she can't be the frontperson of her own tale. But make no mistake, the main character is Hermione.
Harry, in return, is the perfect platonic male for Hermione. He is strong and loyal to her, but she is better at every type of magic except fighting baddies, but it's ok because harry will always be there to do that for her, and acknowledge her genius in every other field.
Now it has to be a platonic relationship, because Harry's not supposed to ever have any sexual demands or expectations of Hermione. He is instead just the ultimate friend. However, no one respects a man who's dick doesn't work, even a woman specifically written a man as a non-sexual partner for her stand in still wants this man to have normal sexual appetites, so that's why Ginny exists. In return for Harry being the ultimate friend and saving Ron's gf for him but never fucking her, Harry gets to creampie Ron's baby sister for the rest of his life.
If they didn’t mess up Ron’s character in the movies this sentiment wouldn’t exist. From everyone’s favourite character before the movies came out to useless third wheel after.
No.
The tone just changed as she had more time to write, and she was likely given notes about what demographics to aim for by the publisher.
Laying off the Roald Dahl homage is probably what factored most heavily in the changes.

>age gap
They were one year apart, that isn't a fucking age gap.
Huh I thought it was more than that.
Ginny first shows up at Hogwarts in the second book, she's the one who opens the chamber.

Who would Ron end up with?
himself. because hes a redhead and not hot one.
His sister, obviously

the movies are far better than the books, even that hack who wrote them recognizes that

They should have just hired someone actually pretty to play Ginny.
>Height difference: 7 inches
They should have played someone taller to play Harry.
>Age difference: 4 years
What is your goal here anon
>I AM A HORCRUX, PROFESSOR!
>I am a wizard, professor snape, I am a Wizard

she already looks like a fetal alcohol baby here.. no chance for her
Fuck you, Ginny is cute as fuck in the latter movies. Gib qt redhead please
she's mid af bro

none of them should have ended up with anyone. her romance writing skills are bad.
No, her book version is fine. Their chemistry was never really romantic, I'd argue even Ron probably didn't need to be paired with Herm but she had to pair them up somehow and it was the easiest way out.

This is the same woman who wrote Wizards had Public Shitting Corridors so...
that's just european history
Rowling is a shit writer
>Rowling is a shit writer
lol. lmao even.

>nagger can't understand looking back on one's own actions in retrospect
explains a lot tbh
Do zoomers know how cringey they sound when they talk like ghetto black people?
Anon, look at the profile pic.
So why are independent shards of your soul called "whore-cruxes" anyways?
Is it some bullshit latin?
What the hell? Is she retarded?
Neville should have killed Voldemort.
Nah he was given enough

Ron is the type of person she would marry but Harry is a more exciting couple it's that simple
hermione was clearly her selfinsert and IIRC ron was based on her ex husband
Harry should have ended up with Cho Ching-Chong
Harry should've ended up with Cho Ching-Chong
>ain't she write the damn book?
Yeah. It's called a regret. You know, that emotion you're supposed to feel when you steal bikes.
Yeah, but the overall happiness of the world increased
sheeit nigga aint she write tha damn book nigga sheeeit
HARRY SHOULD HAVE ENDED UP WITH CHO CHING-CHONG
>ain't she write the damn book?
I'm sorry, could you rewrite that?
Literally everyone thought the same thing.
She'd have been more right if Ron had ended up with Harry.
no, because the main character of harry potter isn't harry potter. it is of course Hermione, Rowling's obvious stand-in. But she can't be the main character, because JK's identity as a female means she can't be the frontperson of her own tale. But make no mistake, the main character is Hermione.

Or Rowling is just a shit writer.

Honestly, Hermione shouldn't have been with either since being in a relationship ruins them being a trio of life long friends.
ain't

The author subverted her own expectations
Were they ghost written, Cinemaphile?
No.
The tone just changed as she had more time to write, and she was likely given notes about what demographics to aim for by the publisher.

hermione should've ended up with draco malfoy
AYO BITCH BE TRIPPIN
Characters don't have to LE END UP with anyone, they can just be single or get a nameless spouse later.
