Fans were saddened by the fact that the series had add up to an end — and even today , eight years after , it ’s still a afflictive subject for many longtime readers . But the pain has been somewhat alleviate thanks toPottermore , newfangled book such asHarry Potter and the Cursed Child , and even insightful tweets from J.K. Rowling herself .
Did you really believe the Potterverse would just be forgotten overnight ? No , of course not . In fact , it only seems to keep grow with metre as new reader and viewers come to the Quran and picture , thanks in large part to Rowling ’s openness to sharing pieces of non - canon trivia .
One surprising admission Rowling share following the conclusion of the serial is that she had some misgivings about pairing up Ron and Hermione . In an consultation carry by Emma Watson in 2014 , the writer told the actress that she put Ron and Hermione together because she wanted to see them together , but that in many ways Harry and Hermione would have been the good fit .
" I write the Hermione / Ron relationship as a form of regard fulfillment,“Rowling said . " That ’s how it was conceived , really . For reasonableness that have very little to do with lit and far more to do with me cleave to the plot as I first imagined it , Hermione with Ron . "
Though Rowling know that her words would be met with " rage and fury " by some fans , she explained that " length has give me perspective on that . It was a selection I made for very personal reason , not for reason of credibility … There was too much fundamental incompatibility . "
In a later consultation , however , Rowling ( perchance backtracking)saidshe thought Harry and Ginny were more like soulmates , whereas Ron and Hermione were a form of an opposite word - attract twain . “ [ They ] are drawn to each other because they balance each other out . Hermione ’s got the sensitivity and maturity that ’s been result out of Ron , and Ron loosens up Hermione a bit , have her to have some fun , ” the generator explain . “ They do it each other and they bicker a turn , but they enjoy bickering , so we should n’t worry about it . "
Whether or not Ron and Hermione should ’ve been together in Rowling ’s eyes , all that sincerely weigh is that theydidend up together — and made some pretty cute Kid to boot .
