So
J.K. Rowlings admits to messing up when she hooked up Hermione and Ron
instead of Hermione and Harry. Btw...no I am not a Harry Potter geek,
but yes I read the first few books and then finished out by watching the
movies.
But I did feel that she missed the boat with the
pairing. No one cared about Harry more than Hermione. Even when Ron
flaked out, Hermione stayed a true friend. And as her reward
she gets the story's buffoon. When my daughter explained that Harry
would end up marrying Jenny I remember saying, who the eff is Jenny? How
did she earn the right to marry the STAR when we barely know whats in
her heart??? Ugh...
Anyhow, my point is that authors mess
up--even really good and successful ones. If authors could go back and
re-write a popular book my re-write would be They Say Love is Blind (to
add a wedding), and Stranded (to change the name and to add more to the
story and then ending).
But now that she admitted to messing
up I'm a little more understanding. Sorry but my mind is not easily
manipulated to just go with the flow--it felt wrong which ruined the
experience for me...much like the last episodes of Roseanne and Dallas.
