How about it, aberforths_rug, amamama, BandCandy, chreechree, gioiamia, girlspell, hhbarmaid, ladywhizbee, stmargarets, moonette1, mickawber, sherylyn, ?

I am sure that madderbrad is laughing his head off right about now...

Oh, Ken. I don't know. While it is painful -- and it is, a bit--to think that she has doubts about her main character pairings now, she simply can't change canon. And if you go back and read it, there just is nothing there to promote or justify the pairing of Harry and Hermione. Her books just weren't written that way.

The movies on the other hand...well, that's a whole other beast...

In truth, I would much rather her have said in this interview that she wished now that none of her main characters had gotten married to each other. That instead they had each gone on to find other healthy relationships outside of the sextet while all still staying good friends, because to me that would have been an even better and more realistic choice AND it wouldn't have opened such a messy can of worms.

There. My 2 cents. :-)
