I agree with the 2 people below me Ginny should have had a better role which would have had viewers genuinely wanting Harry and her together and when it comes to Ron and Hermione I myself didn't like them at 1st she's way to powerful to be with a SH-MUCK that really didn't no how to use his own powers. Hermione and Harry that I fell would have had to chance the books around because she would be teaching Harry a lot of vital things. Overall I love how the movies came out and I cant complain because most times the authors are there when shooting but don't have complete control over what the final decision that the director has. I would love to see a video Hopefully with the Harry Potter cast in years to come maybe showing their trials and tribulations in the future or just their kids cause Hermione was literally that much of a BAD ASS! Or at least someone from the cast popping into her new movie she's working on with Universal Studios.

No, what JK Rowling should have done was make Ginny a more interesting character.

Honestly, my first reaction is "who the hell cares?", but for sake of discussion, I always thought Ron/Hermione was the bolder move. Harry/Hermione was the obvious "Hero gets the Girl" thing, which is boring. I always liked that there was some obvious sexual tension between Harry and Hermione, but the characters just kind of ignored it best they could. It made for much better drama in the final book with Ron's oblivious jealousy of Harry…

Honestly, I think this is the case of an author second-guessing herself when her initial instincts were actually dead on. It is someone disappointing to hear her now say "Oh, I wish I had have taken the really easy, really obvious path that 95% of all hack writers would have taken, and indulged the cliche trope of the hero getting the girl." Lame.

Honestly, Ron getting Hermione is kinda like Han Solo getting Leia. You assume it'll be Luke, but then, NOPE! Avoiding tropes and subverting expectations is a GOOD THING.

Also, if Harry and Herminoe paired up, it'd have left Jenny and Ron to pair up… eww.
