quicklist: 5 title: J.K. Rowling Admits She Regrets Pairing Ron & Hermionetext:

J. K. Rowling has finally vocalized what fans of the Harry Potter series have been wondering all along -- could Ron Weasley really have made Hermione Granger happy? Even the author is in knots about her choice, saying the heroine probably would have been better off with Harry.

In an interview with Emma Watson, who plays the fuzzy-haired witch in the movie adaptations, Rowling said pairing Ron and Hermione was "a form of wish fulfillment" and admitted the couple probably "would have ended up needing relationship counseling."

Never mind needing counselling after being chased by soul-sucking Dementors and death eaters for several years.
