“I wrote the Hermione/Ron relationship as a form of wish fulfillment,” she says. “That’s how it was conceived, really. For reasons that have very little to do with literature and far more to do with me clinging to the plot as I first imagined it, Hermione ended up with Ron.”

Have you seen this? I think it's interesting that she said that she was clinging to the plot as she first imagined it. That explains a lot about the epilogue!

Also, as a staunch Ginny-hater, I wonder where this leaves Ginny in her plans?

Reversing her R/Hr is one thing.

Reversing her beloved H/G would be a whole higher level, I think.

After she came out with the ridiculous 'Harry and Ginny are soul mates' nonsense she twice, as I recall, made off-the-cuff statements supporting that belief, entirely unsolicited and unprompted; "I really do think they are soul mates".

So I'll be interested to see the pro-H/Hr sentiment in this interview, separate from the anti-R/Hr component.

I'm definitely buying the magazine when it comes out, because I need to see this. I doubt Ginny gets mentioned, if I'm honest. I really think that THAT'S the relationship she should be reconsidering, even though Ron and Hermione were not compatible.

As for 'soul mates', unless Quidditch and being a dick makes you soul mates, then it's just the lust monster talking again.
