Author of the beloved Harry Potter series came out on February 2nd stating "Ron and Hermione were never suppose to get married in my original vision." The author went on to explain that Harry should have ended up marrying Hermione, but for personal reasons she altered the coupling. Further more J.K. Rowling also stated that. "Ron and Hermione would have needed couples counseling as the marriage went on." For those of us who read the books we have come to accept the coupling and hearing this news has made many fans get angry.
Screaming such things like.
"Great now I have to hear the god damn Harmonie (Harry Hermione) shippers* say I told you so." (See bottom of page for definition of shippers and Shipping)
"Well now I can finally tell people my Ron and Katie Bell fanfics are plausible."
"First Dumbledore and now this. Whats next J.K. Rowling are you going to tell me that Draco Malfoy's hatred of Hermione extended from the fact she wanted Harry and not him?"
"NOOOOO MY CHILDHOOD IS RUINED!!"
My personal favorite thing I have heard on this.
"Well maybe Harry Potter books will go the way of Game of Thrones and Ron will Sleep with his sister Ginny out of revenge."
Even in the media world it has made a buzz. Having notable nerds like Stephen Colbert and Chris Hardwick talking about it on there respective TV shows (The Colbert Report and @Midnight). Needless to say no matter which couple you shipped in Harry Potter, this news has made fans young and old excited and angry. Thank you J.K. Roweling for making nerd news possible and wide spread.
