I think Vicktor Krum could have been a good...nahhh not smart enough! LOL You're right, they didn't really create another character that was smart AND strong enough for Hermione - but don't you love how much we still care about them?<br />Cheers!<br />~Gwyneth @GwynethJones - The Daring Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00455804690126231910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128908838311784462.post-28888916616415074492014-12-08T18:36:31.266-05:002014-12-08T18:36:31.266-05:00Thanks so much for your comment!

That being said. I also thought that Hermione/Ron was even more of a disastrous match then Hermione/Harry. Ron doesn't push Hermione intellectually. And all they ever do is fight. Not a healthy foundation for a long term relationship. That being said, I can't really pin point any of her school mates that she would be a good fit with. Maybe Draco post book 7 when he matured and hopefully became less of a pureblood obsessed daddys boy.

I completely agree with this post. As...Hey Gwyneth,<br />I completely agree with this post. As a long-time fan of the Harry Potter series, Rowling's comment on her resentment on having Ron and Hermione together was absurd. Putting the main hero of the series, Harry Potter, a shy, sort of awkward boy with the main female lead, Hermione, a loud and incredibly brilliant girl would have been redundant. Rowling was aiming to create an original book series, something that was different than all other series to that date, and by not putting Harry with Hermione, she accomplished that. I don't understand why Rowling would even go ahead and say something like this, after millions of fans have fallen in love with the individual pairings of Ginny and Harry, and Ron and Hermione. Its not that Harry would not have been good for Hermione- their cleverness would have been pretty amazing together, but they would have seemed too good to be true. Having Ron and Hermione end up together is a way to tell readers that people are not perfect, and the most important thing to keep in mind when being with someone is accepting all of their flaws, and recognizing that the person we believe to not be perfect can be pretty perfectAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128908838311784462.post-24251064173509209732014-04-03T21:46:46.966-04:002014-04-03T21:46:46.966-04:00Great comments, everyone!

Harry is the main character. Hermione is the leading female throughout the series. If J.K. Rowling wanted the series to end like every other series, with the two together, it wouldn't have been as interesting an ending. I think that a lot of people are thinking they should have been together simply because we know the most about those two characters compared to Ron and Ginny, who, even though we know them, it is not nearly as much as Harry and Hermione.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128908838311784462.post-10296406639419544402014-02-04T09:58:15.336-05:002014-02-04T09:58:15.336-05:00I have to say that I agree with you.

Because of Hermione's anal retentive character, it would take someone with a laid back personality like Ron who could put up with her for the long haul. I think Ron would like someone to organize his life because, you know, he had an important Quiddich match to watch.Floyd Pentlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10692480555499790736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128908838311784462.post-43242271814063761322014-02-03T22:48:19.307-05:002014-02-03T22:48:19.307-05:00My daughter and I agree, Ginny all the way!

You make a good point, Gwyneth, about why Hermione wouldn't be happy with Harry (and why Harry wouldn't be happy with Hermione), but there are good reasons why Hermione and Ron can have a happily ever after. What irks me is the second-guessing at a book that was already written by the author, with plenty of evidence throughout the series to point to this particular conclusion. It's like someone's wearing the Horcrux and seeing Ron's nightmare about Harry & Hermione together and thinking, "yes Ron, let's make this a reality". Average is okay. Someone who isn't excessively brilliant or brave or beautiful can end up with someone who might be and suggesting that only the best should end up with the best sounds like a poor take-away lesson to learn.MZMollyTLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17565896547458451347noreply@blogger.com
