Now, as Harmony shipper from the beginning, my natural reaction to this news went a little something like this:
I may have engaged in a teensy bit of rejoicing on tumblr, because after all the years of shipping wars and being called "delusional" by many (though certainly not all) Ron/Hermione shippers, I'm feeling a little bit like Uncle Vernon right now:
At the same time, part of me feels a little bad for Ron/Hermione fans. It's got to hurt to hear an author say that they regret pairing your OTP together (if Stephenie Meyer came out someday and said, "Oops, actually I wish Bella would have picked Jacob instead," I would lose it--ain't nobody coming between my precious OTP, Edward/Bella!). So, Romione fans, I feel for you. I really do. But I can't lie--this news makes me extremely happy.
What do you all think of JKR's announcement? Do you think it was wrong of her to say it? Will this affect how you view the books and movies?
