Don't let me die here... There must be something more!
Debunking Harry Potter rumours. I know I've said most of this already on this blog before, but no one reads this so I doubt anyone will notice. Myth: Rowling said she regretted pairing Ron and Hermione, and admitted that Harry and Hermione would have made more sense. Truth: Rowling said that Harry and Hermione are in some ways a better fit than Ron and Hermione, but also pointed out that there are many ways in which Ron and Hermione make a good couple too (e.g. he's funny and therefore a good contrast to Hermione's more serious personality). She said she imagined that Ron and Hermione would need some marriage counselling at first, but that they would be alright in the end. Myth: Rowling called Harry/Hermione shippers delusional. Truth: The interviewer (from Harry Potter fansite Mugglenet) called them delusional, and Rowling's response was to laugh and say "Well, no, I wouldn't say that!" before steering the conversation towards more neutral ground.
