So, apparently Rowling has recently gone on record claiming that she regrets pairing up Ron and Hermione. What do you guys think about that?

I guess for me this makes me even more set in my resolve never to accept an interpretation just because an author says so. Whether it's Rowling or some other author, I mean....

“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!

Marrying In: Pureblood Wizards’ Attraction for Muggleborn Witches

This is actually a response to the numerous posts about the Hermione/Ron ship in the responses to GoF 10: Mayhem at the Ministry.

Sorry, I’m very slow. But I think this is relevant to that debate.
