Re: JKR's announcement on Ron/Hermione's relationship

![]() There was a lot of that sort of wishy-washy, non-committal fence-sitting in this interview, which is why I feel that it is more incendiary than informative. When you actually break it down, JKR doesn't actually provide anything of substance other than, perhaps, a comment on her own feelings and motivations.

For example, the trio should never have been in a situation where they had to camp out in different parts of the country. Harry wanted to leave immediately after reaching the Burrow. Where to though? Surely the first thing you think about when planning to be on your own is to think about stay. He had no plans at all. Food should also never have been a problem given that they could do magic. Even something as simple as figuring out how to open the locket shouldn't have taken so much time. Parseltongue should have been an immediate thought given Voldemort's connection with snakes and their experience with the Chamber of Secrets. It seems to me that Jo was forced to dumb down the trio in order to setup certain plot devices. Quote:

Its one of the reasons I'm skeptical of them needing marriage counselling. If they had married immediately after DH, I can understand but after 5-6 years more? IMO if they couldn't fix things by then, I don't think their marriage could have worked out. Quote:

Re: JKR's announcement on Ron/Hermione's relationship
It was sort of obvious (to me) that the interview had been taken out of context and once the whole thing was published we'd all be a little wiser for it.

I'm surprised. I'm in Japan and it worked fine for me.

Re: JKR's announcement on Ron/Hermione's relationship
Perhaps it would be more correct to say that the video is unavailable in Canada, barring some kind of nefarious scheme.

Re: JKR's announcement on Ron/Hermione's relationship
I'm not sure I'd have believed anything else. I'm not usually given to asserting cosmic truths, but we're all morons sometimes, and especially when it matters.

Re: JKR's announcement on Ron/Hermione's relationship
More thread necromancy...
I'm not sure exactly what this means, but if you intend to say that the trio making poor choices at various times in DH is believable, then I agree. I didn't find that to stretch credulity at all. They're 17, after all.

Re: JKR's announcement on Ron/Hermione's relationship
"They'll probably be fine" seems to be the lasting takeaway. One of the big takeaways from Cursed Child (and wasn't that published after this interview?) was the fundamental and essential nature of Ron and Hermione's relationship? I don't buy that 100% and have a hard time seeing the play as canon, but we've agreed to do so, have we not?
