EH. Though I loved the books I was never really a part of the fandom, and thank god I missed out on the shipping drama. But, I can't help but think that J.K Rowling knew how rabid some shippers were and this was some attempt to cause drama again. Most fandoms get most worked up over shipwars (stupid but that's how it is in every fandom I'm in).

I can't think of any other good reason why she would take a pairing that the general audience like and rooted for, and say she regretted it.

And I kinda hate pushing towards Harry/Hermione because that was ONE REALLY GOOD EXAMPLE of how a boy and girl could be really close friends without it ever having to be romantic. It was platonic and beautiful.

Harry/Ginny is not baseless, but I never really cared much about their relationship. Completely removed from fandom influence I saw Hermione/Ron coming a mile away, but I didn't really realize Harry/Ginny until much later and even then I never really felt the chemistry. If I were Rowling I'd regret that one which seemed based on Ginny being so perfect and also a Weasley so Harry could be a part of that big family. At least with Ron/Hermione they had like a 6 year friendship where they really got to know each other.

YES. I literally want to slap the fans who read this and assumed that meant JKR now thinks Hermione should end up with Harry. NO. She's not a fucking prize. She doesn't HAVE to end up with anyone. Harry never ever saw her as anything more than a sister, EVER. Harmonians are delusional. I can see that Ron and Hermione might've had problems (his self-esteem issues worked my nerves and I have a lot in common with Hermione's personality) and maybe they would've left each other. But that doesn't mean to automatically gets awarded to Harry. They are FRIENDS. That is ALL--and as you say that's beautiful. And frankly she is a better friend than Ron! (I don't know if I could've forgiven Ron that quickly for walking out on them--as I say, Hr's personality and mine are quite similar!)

I agree with Harry/Hermione. I never got anything romantic from their relationship, so it was/is quite infuriating when people kept complaining that Harry/Hermione needed to happen. I really enjoyed that such a great friendship could be so powerful and be just that, a friendship. Not all strong and powerful relationships need to be romantic.
